[hospital readmission for heart failure in a general hospital].heart failure (hf) is the most common discharge diagnosis for admission and readmission in adult. prior studies have reported that elderly patients who survive hospitalization for hf, are particularly vulnerable to readmission. the present study was realized to investigate the characteristics of patients with readmissions for hf and the features of this hospitalizations.200010829460
application of high-temperature gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to the investigation of glycosidically bound components related to cashew apple (anacardium occidentale l. var. nanum) volatiles.free and bound volatile components of a brazilian cashew apple variety (anacardium occidentale l. var. nanum) were obtained by simultaneous distillation-extraction (sde) and xad-2 adsorption. according to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc-ms) analyses and retention indices, 62 free volatile constituents were characterized and quantified. they were esters (40%), terpenes (20%), hydrocarbons (14%), fatty acids (9%), aldehydes (8%), alcohols (3%), lactones (3%), ketones (1%), phenols (1%), a ...200010775367
higher cardol homologs (5-alkylresorcinols) in rye seedlings.the occurrence of alkylresorcinols, polyketide compounds that in the same homologous series as cardol isolated from anacardium occidentale (cashew) or bilobol from ginkgo biloba which are derivatives of 1,3-dihydroxy-5-alk(en)ylbenzene, have been demonstrated in developing rye (secale cereale l.) kernels. the 3-day-old seedlings grown in sterile conditions already contain detectable amounts of phenolic compounds that were identified as alkylresorcinols. this fraction is the mixture of saturated ...200010634940
