and Bacillus sp., which belonged to the predominant phylum in leachates. These results extended our knowledge about the linkages among ARGs, HMRGs and nitrogen-processing functions in leachates.The cehA gene is the earliest reported and most widely found carbaryl hydrolase gene. CehA detoxifies carbaryl and other carbamate pesticides via…[Read more]

The aims of the present study were to evaluate the relative incidence of alveolar osteitis (AO) after mandibular third molar surgery, post-operative findings and local expression of bone markers and cytokines.

In 445 patients, unilateral surgical third molars extractions were undertaken (584 teeth). Bone markers and cytokines were explored…[Read more]

For efficient prevention and treatment of enteric colibacillosis, understanding about latest virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli is essentially needed. The aim of this study was to survey antimicrobial resistance and determine the prevalence of fimbriae and enterotoxin genes among 118 pathogenic E. coli isolates…[Read more]

Infrared (IR) absorption spectroscopy detects the state and chemical composition of biomolecules solely by their inherent vibrational fingerprints. Major disadvantages like the lack of spatial resolution and sensitivity have lately been overcome by the use of pointed probes as local sensors enabling the detection of quantities as few as hundreds…[Read more]

V.Recurring infections and increasing resistances continue to complicate treatment of urinary tract infections. To investigate alternative treatment options, trimethoprim loaded micro- (D[4;3] of 1-9 µm) and nanoparticles (Z-Avg of 200-400 nm) were prepared from two types of poly(d,l-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) for instillative therapy. While…[Read more]

To evaluate the benefit of combined current focusing and steering to speech recognition in noise with cochlear implants (CIs).

Combined current focusing and steering was implemented using focused partial tripolar (pTP) mode with two current steering ranges. The two pTPsteering strategies were compared to a monopolar (MP) strategy without…[Read more]

We present a classic case of AML with t(8;16)/KAT6A-CREBBP occurring in a patient with both a germline NF1 mutation and recent cytotoxic therapy for embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.

Whole-arm translocations are relatively rare among hematological malignancies. There are a few reports on der(18;21)(q10;q10). This is a recurrent but rare abnormality.…[Read more]

Best-practice guidelines recommend that appropriate support be provided to public contributors to facilitate their involvement in research. One form of support is research awareness training. Older people with dementia and care partners were involved in four Research User Groups (RUGs) in the UK, France, Cyprus and Greece. We delivered research…[Read more]
