How to Fortify Beverages with Calcium by Dr
Ingredients How to Fortify Beverages With Calcium by Dr. Gerhard Gerstner Along with current developments of the overall functional foods market, the use of minerals and especially calcium salts is expected to exhibit strong growth rates. In contrary to other functional ingredients, calcium is widely known as being beneficial for human health and there is no need to explain its nutritional ad- vantages to the customer. According to Leatherhead International, future trends include growing consumer concern regarding osteoporosis and bone health, leading to increased sales of calcium salts. The con- observation is seen as being one of tinuous market growth drives mineral the main factors causing osteo- Common calium sources salt suppliers to offer not only one porosis 2 .As a consequence, national for beverage fortification product but rather a range of different authorities all over the world have calcium salts and granulations to be recently reconsidered recommend- Table 1 shows a typical range of able to tune them to industrial cus- ations in order to take remedial calcium fortified beverages which tomers’ applications.

CLINICA CHIMICA ACTA International Journal of Clinical Chemistry and Diagnostic Laboratory Medicine
CLINICA CHIMICA ACTA International Journal of Clinical Chemistry and Diagnostic Laboratory Medicine AUTHOR INFORMATION PACK TABLE OF CONTENTS XXX . • Description p.1 • Audience p.1 • Impact Factor p.1 • Abstracting and Indexing p.2 • Editorial Board p.2 • Guide for Authors p.4 ISSN: 0009-8981 DESCRIPTION . Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnosticapplication of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells. The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal's scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest. -

Journals 2016 Catalog Directors’ Letter
MIT Press Journals 2016 catalog Directors’ Letter Dear Friends, The MIT Press celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2012, and the inclination to ponder our distinguished history remains strong, perhaps even more so this year with the change in Press leadership—Amy Brand was named Director of the MIT Press in July of 2015. The Press’s journals division, which was founded in 1972, ten years after the books division, also has a significant publishing legacy to consider, with over 80 journals published since the division’s inception. Some, such as Linguistic Inquiry and The Journal of Interdisciplinary History, have grown with us from the very beginning. Other core titles like International Security, October, The Review of Economics and Statistics and Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience joined the Press over the following decades, providing a solid base for the high-quality and innovative scholarship that our journals division is well known for. Today, we continue to push the boundaries of scholarly publishing and communication. We relish discovering new fields to publish in, and working with scholars who are establishing new domains of research and inquiry. In keeping with that spirit, the Press is proud to launch a new open access journal in 2016, Computational Psychiatry, to serve a burgeoning field that brings together experts in neuroscience, decision sciences, psychiatry, and computation modeling to apply new quantitative techniques to our understanding of psychiatric disorders. Developing new ways of delivering journal articles and providing a richer range of metrics around their usage and impact is another current effort. On our mitpressjournals.org site, the Press is providing Altmetric badges for select titles to give an improved sense of the breadth of a journal article’s reach. -

Pediatric Blood and Cancer 2016 63 Supplement 3 (S71) Go to publisher for the full text Abstract Background/Objectives: The acquisition of a pathologic diagnosis represents a critical point in the management of children with malignant disease, allowing staff to plan a therapeutic pathway. In resource poor settings, diagnoses help to identify children who will benefit from the limited interventions available and those who will not. Access to timely diagnoses can be a challenge in low and middle income countries. While enhanced local laboratory capacity is the ultimate answer, interim solutions are needed to assist programs with existing deficits. Modern transport and telecommunications technology can facilitate this process. Design/Methods: Muhimbili University, Dar es Salaam, provides a paediatric cancer program for Tanzania. As part of a formal twinning arrangement, laboratory staff in Dublin have provided interim diagnostic services while helping to develop local paediatric cancer diagnostic capacity in Tanzania. Samples are transported free via DHL® couriers. Preliminary reports are communicated to local clinical staff via WhatsApp with final reports scanned and e-mailed. Results: Since 2008, almost 1000 cancer samples have been transported from Dar to Dublin. Transport time is two working days. In 92% of cases, a preliminary communication regarding specimen adequacy and provisional diagnosis was communicated via WhatsApp the day after receipt. -

Herein we synthesized β-TCP by solid state reaction in the presence of increasing amounts of two biologically active ions, namely strontium and zinc, in order to clarify the structural modifications induced by ionic substitution. The results of X-ray diffraction analysis indicate that zinc can substitute for calcium into a β-TCP structure up to about 10 at% inducing a reduction of the cell parameters, whereas the substitution occurs up to about 80 at% in the case of strontium, which provokes a linear increase of the lattice constants, and a slight modification into a more symmetric structure. -
