Drying of eggplant and selection of a suitable thin layer drying model

Drying is a complicated process with simultaneous heat and mass transfer, and food drying is especially very complex because of the differential structure of products. In practice, a food dryer is considerably more complex than a device that merely removes moisture, and effective models are necessary for process design, optimization, energy integration, and control. Although modeling studies in food drying are important, there is no theoretical model which neither is practical nor can it unify the calculations. Therefore the experimental studies prevent their importance in drying and thin layer drying equations are important tools in mathematical modeling of food drying. They are practical and give sufficiently good results. In this study first, the theory of drying was given briefly. Next, general modeling approaches for food drying were explained. Then, commonly used or newly developed thin layer drying equations were shown, and determination of the appropriate model was explained. Afterwards, effective moisture diffusivity and activation energy calculations were expressed. Finally, experimental studies conducted in the last 10 years were reviewed, tabulated, and discussed. It is expected that this comprehensive study will be beneficial to those involved or interested in modeling, design, optimization, and analysis of food drying.

This paper presents a new empirical model for single layer drying process, which was verified with selected experimental data. The present model is also compared with other single layer drying models available in the literature, using laboratory as well as field data from literature.

A new model for single-layer drying

Abstract Background Consensus statements was published by EAU and EANM to clarify some uncertainties on PSMA PET/CT response assessment in 2020. We aimed to investigate the response criteria for PSMA PET/CT according to published criteria by comparing with serum PSA changes and determine the factors affecting therapy response evaluation. Results A high concordance was found between [ 68 Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and serum PSA responses and 0.84 of Gamma coefficient was obtained. Between concordant and discordant group, statistically significant difference was not found in terms of received therapies and castration resistance status. Statistically significant but low correlation was found between serum PSA and SUV values of prostate, moderate correlation was found serum PSA and SUVmax values of metastatic lymph nodes and bones. Conclusions The response evaluation of PSMA PET/CT according to the published criteria shows high concordance with serum PSA values without being affected by received therapies or castration resistance. This criteria can be used with contribution of serum PSA values in response evaluation of prostate cancer according to our results and literature data.

Systemic therapy response evaluation in prostate carcinoma with [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT

Purpose: Thyroid carcinoma is the most common carcinoma that originated from endocrine tissue in pediatric patients. Pediatric thyroid carcinomas are more prone to reveal lymph node or lung metastasis and recurrence. In this study, clinical, pathological and genetic features that may be related with resistant differentiated thyroid carcinoma in pediatric patients were investigated. 
Materials and Methodsː Thirty-nine pediatric patients who were 18 years old and below and were given 131I Radioactive Iodine (RAI) therapy were included to the study. 131I RAI therapy was planned in accordance with the American Thyroid Association (ATA) Guideline. Clinical and postoperative pathological features of patients were retrospectively determined and the patients who received single or multiple RAI therapy due to resistant disease compared statistically in terms of these features. Genetic analysis was also made in the patients who received multiple therapies. 
Resultsː Thirty-one patients were female and 8 patients were male. Thirty-four patients had papillary thyroid carcinoma, 4 had follicular thyroid carcinoma and 1 had mixed papillary-oncocytic carcinoma of patients. Eight patients received multiple I-131 RAI therapy cycles due to resistant disease. Any clinical, pathological feature and genetic mutation that would indicate resistant disease was not found in these patients. 
Conclusionː Although pediatric thyroid carcinoma is rarely seen, it has an increasing incidence in recent years. We were not able to reveal any feature related to resistant disease in our limited group. Clinical, pathological and genetic characteristics related to poor prognosis must be investigated with larger study groups.
