Massive phytoplankton proliferation, and the consequent release of toxic metabolites, can be responsible for seafood poisoning outbreaks: filter-feeding mollusks, such as shellfish, mussels, oysters or clams, can accumulate these toxins throughout the food chain and present a threat for consumers’ health.Particular environmental and climatic
Footwear microclimate and its effects on the microbial community of the plantar skin
Abstract The association between the footwear microclimate and microbial community on the foot plantar skin was investigated by experiments with three participants.Novel methods were developed for measuring in-shoe temperature and humidity at five footwear regions, as well as the overall ventilation rate inside the footwear.Three types of footwear
Effect of the extent of posterior septectomy on surgical access during the endoscopic endonasal approach to the sella: A technical note
Background: Using the bi-nostril 4-hand technique during the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) facilitates bimanual microsurgical techniques yet requires resection of the posterior nasal septum.The surgical exposure and degree of maneuverability gained proportionate to the extent of posterior septectomy in the sagittal plane was previously quanti
A case of wet purpura due to etoricoxib induced thrombocytopenia
Etoricoxib is Hockey Skates - Intermediate - Performance a selective cyclo-oxygenase 2 inhibitor, commonly used in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, gout and back pain.Pretibial edema and erythema, gastric irritation and risks of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular thrombotic events are some of the reported adverse effects due to etoricoxib.This ca
Epitope-Tagged Autotransporters as Single-Cell Reporters for Gene Expression by a Salmonella Typhimurium wbaP Mutant.
Phenotypic diversity is an important trait of bacterial populations and can enhance fitness of the existing genotype in a given environment.To characterize different subpopulations, several studies have analyzed differential gene expression using fluorescent reporters.These studies visualized either single or multiple genes within single cells usin
