Background: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is the standard of care for neonatal respiratory distress and improves survival when implemented in low-resource settings.Clinical audits at the Borama Regional Hospital (BRH) Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) revealed multiple barriers to effective CPAP, including insufficient pressu
Tissue engineering: realistic gastrointestinal tract models Miniature guts and stomachs grown in the laboratory together with supporting cells and microbes provide a physiologically relevant model for studying gastrointestinal disease and testing candidate drug therapies.In a review article, Seung-Woo Cho and colleagues from Yonsei University, Seou
The aim of the presented research was to determine the suitability of cherry stones as a solid fuel.Mixtures of cherry stones with the addition of 10%, 15%, and 20% rye bran as a binder were subjected to the pressure agglomeration process in a rotary matrix working system (170, 220, and Ashwagandha 270 rpm).The density of pellets, their kinetic dur
This study evaluated the ability of Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma koningii to improve the quality of tea dregs (TDs) through solid-state fermentation as well as the value of the fermented tea dregs (FTDs) produced for use as bio-feed additives.After fermentation, FTDs differed in color and structure.Fermentation with A.niger and T.koningii incr
