Effect of Steam Explosion Pretreatment on Nutritional and Antioxidant Properties of Rapeseed Oil by HUANG Ying, ZHENG Chang, ZHOU Qi, LIU Changsheng, LI Wenlin

“…As the explosion pressure increased, the moisture content gradually declined from 42.17% to 92.24%, and the oil yield initially increased and then decreased, and the contents of oleic acid, linoleic acid, and α-linolenic acid significantly changed. The energy generated during steam explosion pretreatment could effectively destroy active substance complexes, resulting in the release of more free polyphenols, so that the average content of total phenols in the treatment group was increased by 9.56 folds on average when compared with the control group. …”

Is the Hip Keeping the Ankle Out of Work after Total Ankle Arthroplasty? by Frank DiLiberto PT, PhD, Maxine Olson MS, Finola Summerville, Stacey Meardon PhD, PT, Anand Vora MD

“…Of note, postoperative ankle energy production (i.e. power, work) during gait is also deficient and related to lower gait speed and physical function scores. These findings raise questions regarding if people after TAA have the capacity to generate greater ankle energy or rely on proximal joint (e.g. hip) energy during walking and more challenging daily functional tasks. …”
