Presentation
In the present study, we searched for compounds that impart an onion-like odor by gas chromatography (GC)-olfactometry. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
Serum
- Vitamin C Decreased
The moisture contents and peroxide values showed a noticeable increase, probably due to seal failure, whereas vitamin C decreased up to 66% during storage. The loss of sensory properties was parallel to the microbial and chemical results. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
BACKGROUND: New topical treatments studied in adults have been published to be potentially effective in the treatment of hypertrophic scar and keloids. There is still no study in Thai children. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic studies have shown that dietary flavonoids reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. Onion is rich in quercetin, a strong antioxidant flavonoid. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
Our experience showed the preventive use of silicone derivative plus onion extract gel on hypertrophic scars after median sternotomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
S tudies published in the Cancer Prevention Research showed that consumption of vegetables like onions and garlic which belong to the Allium family help prevent cancers, particularly cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. [organicfacts.net]
Weeding Controlling weeds is critical to prevent competition for nutrients. An application of Treflan or corn gluten meal raked into the top inch of soil every six weeks during the growing season will prevent weeds from returning. [dixondalefarms.com]
