Our results indicate that MaiA may potentially serve as an effective antibiofilm agent to prevent Gram-negative biofilm formation in future clinical applications.Microbial community composition and stability affect pollutant removal for biological/granular activated carbon (BAC/GAC) processes. Here, we pre-loaded the organic carbon substrates…[Read more]

Top predators can exert strong influences on community structure and function, both via direct, consumptive effects, as well as through non-consumptive, fear-based effects (i.e. predation risk). However, these effects are challenging to quantify, particularly for mobile predators in marine ecosystems. JHU395 antagonist To advance this field of…[Read more]

These findings suggest that resveratrol enhances the efficacy of azoles and provides a promising application in therapy of C. albicans infection.Social influence is an important determinant of adolescent risk-taking, but little is known about how social norms contribute to adolescents’ tendency to recommend and engage in risky behaviours. Using…[Read more]

Mitochondria are considered to be a power station of the cell. It is known that they play a major role in both normal and pathological heart function. Alterations in mitochondrial bioenergetics are one of the main causes of the origin and progression of heart failure since they have an inhibitory effect on the activity of respiratory complexes in…[Read more]

OBJECTIVES This study aims to review our reconstruction method to treat chronic grade 3 thumb metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint radial collateral ligament (RCL) tears using free tendon grafts. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirteen male patients (mean age 41 years; range, 20 to 67 years) who received a free tendon graft to treat chronic grade 3 thumb MP joint…[Read more]

The term “normobaric oxygen paradox” (NOP), describes the response to the return to normoxia after a hyperoxic event, sensed by tissues as oxygen shortage, and resulting in up-regulation of the Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) transcription factor activity. The molecular characteristics of this response have not been yet fully characterized. H…[Read more]

β-cell replacement therapy (βCRT), including pancreas transplantation alone (PTA) and islet transplantation (ITX), is a treatment option for selected type 1 diabetes patients. All potential candidates for βCRT in Norway are referred to one national transplant centre for evaluation before any pre-transplant workup is started. This evaluation was pe…[Read more]

High-titer antibodies are a cause of false-negative reactions in red blood cell antigen phenotyping, an event referred to as blocked antigen phenomenon (BAP). In hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn, BAP complicates laboratory workups as fetal phenotype is helpful in confirming the responsible antibody. Acid elution techniques, techniques…[Read more]

Furthermore, the one article about ultrasound was not enough to draw conclusions for ultrasound findings. It is nonetheless clear that clinicians should be careful to make diagnoses purely based on radiologic findings. A thorough clinical examination and individual interpretation conducted by the clinician remains indispensable.Long noncoding RNA…[Read more]

Research on group antenatal care in low- and middle-income contexts suggests high acceptability and preliminary implementation success.

We studied the effect of group antenatal care on gestational age at birth among women in Rwanda, hypothesizing that participation would increase mean gestational length. For this unblinded cluster…[Read more]
