2,318,990 | The effect of female sex hormone supplementation on tendon in pre and postmenopausal women: A systematic review. | Oestrogen deprivation has been shown to have a negative effect on connective tissue and its turnover. A link may exist between supplemental oestrogen, preservation of tendon collagen and less tendon abnormality. The aim was to determine the effects of female sex hormone supplementation (FSHS) on tendon.</AbstractText>A... |
2,318,991 | Overcoming the bottlenecks of anaerobic digestion of olive mill solid waste by two-stage fermentation. | Two-stage anaerobic digestion (AD) of two-phase olive mill solid waste (OMSW) was applied for reducing the inhibiting factors by optimizing the acidification stage.
