Although the safety of food additives had been assessed indi idually permitted additi es may be unsafe if used together: this study as piloted to assess the safety of various food additive mixtures. Fifty male Albino rats - Wistar strain (4 eeks old) ere distributed into 10 groups. the first group orally administered distilled 'eater. the other nine groups orally administered different unixtures of food additives at NOAEL dosage for each food additive for 30 days. Flaemoglobin. malondialdehy de. kidney functions. activities of AST. ALT. and ALP. Levels of bilirubin. total protein and albumin were also dete ined. Assessment of the genotoxic effect using in vivo alkaline comet assay was performed in the brain. lip er. and kidney tissues. The results indicated significant lib concentration reduction c as recorded by all studied food additives' combination compared to the control group. With the number of additi es increases the 1 total serum protein and albumin contents were significantly ( p {).05) decreased: in contrast, there was an increase in V1 DA. urea. creatinine. lip er function enzyme activity,. and bilirubin levels. Also. the examined food additi es' combinations exhibited genotoxic activities with different degrees compared to control rats in the brain. kidney. and with the number of additi es increases the genotoxic effect increased,

Background: Emergency surgical services often encounter patients with generalized peritonitis. Difficult perioperative decisions impact morbidity, mortality, cost, and utilization of hospital resources. The ability to preoperatively predict patient nonsurvival despite surgical intervention using clinical physiologic indicators was the aim of this study and would be helpful in counseling patients/families. Methods: A retrospective cohort from an institutional database was queried for nontrauma patients with peritonitis undergoing emergency laparotomy from 2012 to 2016. Time to mortality after surgery was compared: early (<= 72 hours) versus late (>72 hours) and no death. Results: After 534 emergency laparotomies, there were 74 (13.9%) mortalities. Of these, death occurred early (<= 72 hours) after surgery in 28 (37.8%) patients and late (>72 hours) in 46 (62.2%). Early death patients had a significantly more deranged physiology, as evidenced by higher Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II scores (mean 28.1 +/- 8.4 vs 22.9 +/- 8.7, P = .01), worse acute kidney injury (preoperative creatinine 3.7 +/- 3.2 vs 1.9 +/- 1.4, P = .001), and greater level of acidosis (pH 7.19 +/- 0.12 vs 7.27 +/- 0.13, P = .017). Additionally, preoperative lactate was significantly increased in patients with early mortality (6.8 +/- 4.1 vs 5.1 +/- 4.0, P = .045). Using logarithmic regression, a nomogram was constructed using age, Glasgow Coma Scale, lactate, creatinine, and pH. This nomogram had an area under the curve of 0.908 on receiver operator curve analysis. A score of 13 equates to greater than 50% risk of early mortality after surgery. Conclusion: Early mortality (<72 hours after emergency laparotomy) is associated with decreased pH, elevated creatinine, and elevated lactate. These factors combined into the nomogram constructed may assist surgical teams with patient and family discussions to prevent futile surgical interventions. (c) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
