Previous research showed association between frailty and an impaired autonomic nervous system; however, the direct efect of frailty on heart rate (HR) behavior during physical activity is unclear. The purpose of the current study was to determine the association between HR increase and decrease with frailty during a localized upper-extremity function (UEF) task to establish a multimodal frailty test.

Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) is the most prevalent surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, but postoperative pharyngeal pain may afect patient comfort. The enhanced recovery after surgery pathway has been proved benefcial to many types of surgery but not to UPPP yet. The aim of this pilot study was to preliminarily standrize an enhanced recovery after surgery protocol for UPPP, to assess whether it has positive efects on reducing postoperative pharyngeal pain and improving patient comfort, and to test its feasibility for an international multicentre study.

Treatment decisions in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery are based on clinical assessment. The Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) is pragmatic and widely used but has only moderate discrimination. We aimed to test the efcacy of the CHA2DS2-VASc score and the combination of CHA2DS2-VASc and RCRI to predict perioperative risks for non-cardiac surgery

The study was undertaken to standardize a shelf-stable ready-to-eat pepper chicken using broiler meat by retort pouch processing. Three experiments were conducted, in the first experiment the recipe was standardized (pilot scale study) on the basis of sensory evaluation and in second experiment retort pouch processing temperature (F0 value) was determined based on references, commercial sterility test, visual observation, sensory evaluation and preliminary trials. The come up percentage was 27.27 and the F0 value was 7.2 minutes.
