The increase of diesel fuels and natural gas has increased the energy cost of the mint
oil extraction industry in the Willamette Valley. In this study the energy evaluation of
a distillation facility in Oregon is considered. Solvent free microwave extraction of
peppermint oil is introduced as a new technique...
The importance of high blood pressure (BP) and the effect of BP lowering in older adults remain controversial due to the mixed evidence in this population. Frailty status may resolve the apparently conflicting findings and identify subpopulations who share common risk. Emerging evidence demonstrates that low BP is associated with...
DHA (22:6,ω3), but not EPA (20:5,ω3), attenuates Western diet (WD)-induced hepatic fibrosis in a Ldlr[superscript −/−] mouse model of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. We examined the molecular basis for the differential effect of dietary EPA and DHA on WD-induced hepatic fibrosis. DHA was more effective than EPA at preventing WD-induced effects on...

BACKGROUND: Whether limitation in ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) or gait speed can identify subgroups of elders in whom the association of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure with cardiovascular events and death differs is not well established.
METHODS: We evaluated whether ADL and gait speed...
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hyperuricemia often coexist and both conditions are increasing in prevalence in the U.S., although their shared role on cardiovascular risk remains highly debated.
STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional and longitudinal
SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1988 to...
The three-dimensional structure and the origin of mesoscale anticyclonic
intrathermocline eddies (ITEs) in the coastal transition zone (CTZ) off central Chile (31–41°S) were analyzed through the combination of data from oceanographic cruises and
satellite altimetry, and the application of an eddy-resolving primitive equation ocean model
coupled with a numerical experiment...
Background—The effect of intensive blood pressure (BP) lowering on kidney function among individuals with established cerebrovascular disease and preserved estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is not established.
Methods and Results—Among 2610 participants randomized to a lower (<130 mm Hg) versus higher (130–149 mm Hg) systolic BP target with repeated measures...
