Fourteen of 31 patients with refractory (OAB) and nocturia improved with oral gabapentin. Gabapentin was generally well tolerated and can be considered in selective patients when conventional modalities have failed.
This study developed the noodle from tofu. Tapioca starch and curdlan were added for improving texture and cooking quality. Tofu noodles were prepared with tapioca (50 g) (control), tapioca (20 g) and curdlan (5-7 g) (TC group), and curdlan (8-9 g) (C group). The viscosity decreased to control, TC and C, and both TC and C showed increasing capabilities as more curdlan was added.Cooking loss of TC (5.7-6.3%) or C (4.9-5.4%) was lower than that of the control (6.8%). C group showed the highest firmness which increased as more curdlan was added while TC and control showed similar results. Tensile strength of TC (2.3-2.7 N cm 22 ) was higher than that of the control or C (2.0 N cm 22 ). Our results revealed that curdlan can be used to lower the amount of tapioca starch during the process of making tofu noodles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
