Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Ferritin for Differentiation of Aseptic and Bacterial Meningitis in AdultsZhinous Bayat Makoo, Nagmeh Ahadi, Akbar Hasani et al.Problem statement: Bacterial meningitis is one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity. Rapid diagnosis of bacterial cause is very important and critical, because early antibiotic therapy prevents complications; different tests have been developed for rapid diagnosis of bacterial meningitis. One of them is CSF ferritin, which is evaluated in this study. Approach: During cross sectional study from … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification a Novel Raw-Starch-Degrading-α-Amylase from a Tropical Marine BacteriumZeily Nurachman, Alfredo Kono, Ocky Karna Radjasa, Dessy NataliaProblem statement: Bacteria from the surface of the tropical marine hard coral Acropora sp. were screened for producing raw-starch-degrading-α-amylase. Approach: Based on its 16s rDNA sequence, a bacterium that produced the highest amylolitic activity was identified as Bacillus amyloliquifaciens ABBD. The bacterial isolate secreted a α-amylase extracellularly and then the enzyme was partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 9,337 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Protease Inhibitors on Metabolic Complications and Lipodystrophy in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected PatientsMohd Khaza, K. Laxmi Prasad, M. EstariProblem statement: Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART)-associated metabolic complications include lipoatrophy (loss of Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue (SAT) and insulin resistance. The risk of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-infected patients receiving Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) especially protease inhibitors has not been well defined. Approach: We conducted an analysis in the Hospital of Rajeev Gandhi Institute of Medical … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 6,936 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExpression of Adiponectin Receptors in Human Placenta and Its Possible Implication in Gestational DiabetesNaglaa Fathy Al Husseini, Mosaad M. Odaa, M.A. Mohamed et al.Problem statement: Similar to obese patients and type 2 diabetic patients, adiponectin levels are reduced in former Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) patients and are lower in GDM women during late pregnancy compared with pregnant control subjects matched for BMI. Diabetic insult at later stages in gestation, such as may occur in gestational diabetes, will foremost lead to short-term changes in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,199 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMutagenic Screening of Crude Oil Fractions Using Modified Ames Test and Allium cepa (Linn) AssayOlufunsho Awodele, Alade Akintonwa, Sunday O. Olayemi et al.Problem statement: Crude oil which may be broadly characterized as paraffinic or naphthenic is a complex mixture of alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. About 500,000 workers are employed in crude oil exploration and production worldwide. There have been reports of occupational exposure during drilling, pumping and transportation of crude oil, including maintenance of equipment used for these processes. Thus, skin … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 8,633 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe "Forgotten Side Effect" of ThiazidesArnon BlumProblem statement: Thiazide diuretics are derived from benzodiazines. They inhibit Na+/Cl- re-absorption from the distal convoluted tubules in the kidneys by blocking the thiazide-sensitive Na+/Cl- symporter. They are recommended as first line treatment for hypertension in the US (JNC VII)[1] guidelines and in the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence/British Hypertension Society guidelines[2] and in the European (ESC/ESH)[3] guidelines. … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,339 accessesView PDFCite
