Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review on Some Organic Acids Additives as Shelf Life Extenders of Fresh Beef CutsMohamed B. Jamilah, K.A. Abbas, R. Abdul RahmanThis study was aiming to present some approaches by which the shelf life of fresh beef cuts was extended. These approaches were based on using organic acids. Therefore the work was started with highlighting the deterioration of some quality attributes due to spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms. These attributes included colour, flavour and lipid oxidation changes. In a given holding temperature, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,739 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRat Cardiomyocytes Express a Classical Epithelial Beta-DefensinAnnika Linde, Gerald H. Lushington, Frank Blecha, Tonatiuh MelgarejoBeta-defensins (BDs) are classical epithelial antimicrobial peptides of immediate importance in innate host defense. Since recent studies have suggested that certain BDs are also expressed in non-traditional tissues, including whole heart homogenate, and because effector molecules of innate immunity and inflammation can influence the development of certain cardiovascular disease processes, we hypothesized that BDs are produced by cardiomyocytes as a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,000 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCurrent Approaches for the Prevention of Surgical Site InfectionsSander Florman, Ronald Lee NicholsSurgical site infections (SSIs) are the most common type of nosocomial infection among surgical patients and are commonly caused by the patients’ own microbial flora. The prevalence of SSI is a major concern because of the associated increase in the incidence of morbidity and mortality, length of hospitalization and cost of care for postoperative patients. Key factors that determine whether … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,828 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Activity of Methyl tert-butyl Ether in Relation to Soil Microorganisms has a Negative Environmental ImpactGholam H.S. BonjarFuel oxygenates are added to gasoline to enhance combustion efficiency of automobiles and reduce air pollution. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is the most commonly used oxygenate because of its low cost, high-octane level and ease of blending with gasoline. However, due to its water solubility, high mobility and low biodegradability it leaches in soil subsurface at the speed of groundwater. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,665 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Characterization of Superior Symbiotic Bacterial Isolates from the Oenggae Sea with Potential as AntibacterialLukas Pardosi, Adelya Irawan Manalu, Charles Venirius LisnahanSponges are one of the marine biota that have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria which can produce secondary metabolites as antimicrobials. The main aim of this research was to isolate and identify bacteria that had potential as antibacterials against multi-drug resistant test bacteria. The sponsor samples used in this research were Stylissa massa, Salvador Dali, and Angelas sp. The methods … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 3 · 26 Mar 2024 · 5,057 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEndometritis Control and Enhanced Reproductive Performance in Aceh Cow Using Medicinal PlantsTeuku Armansyah, Tongku Nizwan Siregar et al.Antibiotic treatment for endometritis has some weaknesses due to its toxicity and unexpected side effects. Therefore, the utilization of plant extract as antimicrobials is an alternative to antibiotics. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of betel leaf, moringa leaf, and garlic extracts in treating endometritis in Aceh cows. We used nine Aceh cows at 3-5 years old, 150-250 kg body … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 2 Oct 2023 · 5,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiogenic Silver Nanoparticles Produced by Bacteria Isolated from University Campus Environment Soil Samples in Ras Al KhaimahPooja Shivappa, Grisilda Vidya Bernhardt, Sheela Haridas, Michael V MagaogaoSilver is observed to be comprised of a huge percentage ofsilver oxide and the utilization of silver and silver salts is in practicesince ancient human civilization. Silver nanoparticles remain to be potentialantifungal, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral agents. Further, itis demonstrated that silver nanoparticles have been involved in arresting thegrowth of several bacterial species thereby reducing their harmful effects.Micro-organisms are being … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 5 Sep 2022 · 5,873 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelf-Assembly Peptides-a ReviewOlushola Sunday Ayanda, Olusola Solomon Amodu, Cyprian Yameso Abasi et al.Self-assembling of peptides is a spontaneous process by which peptides are self-organized to form well-ordered structures by intramolecular and intermolecular interactions.This process is controlled by the balance of the forces (attractive andrepulsive) within the peptide molecules. Notable methods used for the synthesis of self-assembly peptides are solid-phase synthesis, liquid-phase synthesis,recombinant technology, and the use of external fields. The self-assembled nanostructure-based … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 12 Aug 2022 · 5,743 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacteristics and Incidence of Candidemia in Hospitalized Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) PatientsNaana A Boachie, Jackie P. Johnston, Simi A. Philip et al.Management of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) with high-dose corticosteroids and interleukin-2 inhibitors has potential benefits, but is associated with immunosuppression and risk of secondary infections. This single-center, retrospective, cohort study evaluated the incidence of candidemia and associated risk factors in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Twenty-three patients developed candidemia and were matched to 77 non-candidemic COVID-19 controls. The primary outcome was incidence of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2022 · 7,604 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococci (MRS) and Salmonella spp. in Consumer Egg SamplesAna Claudia Lemes Pavan, Rafaella da Silva, Vanessa Kelly Capoia Vignoto et al.Despite the excellent nutritional value, the egg can be an important vehicle for bacterial infections carried by food, among them, multiresistant Staphylococci and salmonellosis. The objective of this work was to detect the presence of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus spp. (MRS) and Salmonella spp. Forty dozen eggs were obtained from three free-trade fairs in the Umuarama-PR; every dozen eggs comprised a sample. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 21 Aug 2020 · 6,532 accessesView PDFCite
