Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamical Model for Determining Human Susceptibility to Dengue FeverSurapol Naowarat, Thanon Korkiatsakul, I. Ming TangProblem statement: Mathematical models are a useful tool for understanding and describing the transmission of diseases such as dengue fever, one of the most prevalently emerging diseases common to tropical and subtropical areas throughout South East Asia. By taking into account human susceptibility to disease, the dynamics of a dengue disease model is proposed. Approach: Using standard methods for analyzing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 28 Sep 2011 · 7,735 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Delaying Sporulation by Addition of Ammonium Sulphate on the Fermentation of Palm Kernal Cake Based Substrate by Aspergillus nigerK. H. Swe, A. R. Alimon, M. RaminProblem statement: Asexual sporulation is a common reproductive mode for a diverse group of fungi and the ultimate limiting factor in fungal biomass production. Approach: Delaying sporulation may increase the biomass in terms of mycelial production and the same time increase production of enzymes. Results: In order to delay the sporulation different levels of ammonium sulphate (10, 12 and 14%) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,399 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Vitro Metabolism Studies of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers Using Rat and Human Liver MicrosomesShun Wen Cheng, Kathleen Randall, Anne T. KotchevarA number of studies have recently reported the bioaccumulation of the commonly used fire retardants, Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs), in humans and wildlife. Exposure of animals to PBDEs has been shown to result in developmental neurological, reproductive abnormalities and the disruption of endocrine function. Thyroid hormone equilibria was also shown to be altered by PBDE exposure. There is evidence that … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,998 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunomodulatory Treatment of Infertility in Men with Elevated Antisperm AntibodiesIvan Bubanovic, Slobodan Kojic, Stevo Najman, Zlatibor AndjelkovicPossible causes of subfertility or infertility in men are still poorly defined, but one important category may be elevated level of antisperm antibodies (ASA) caused by infective and/or autoimmune diseases, as well as injuries of male reproductive system. In this study, blood sera from 45 infertile men of different age with ASA positive ELISA test were examined for the serum … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 8,839 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpermatogonial Stem Cells: A Current Update in the Management of Azoospermic Infertile MenSilvia W Lestari, Debby AdityaOne of the management of azoospermia is utilizing Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) by Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) with sperm obtained from the epididymis or directly from testis. In some conditions such as hypogonadism or undescended testis, the sperm are not successfully obtained. Thus, it is considered to perform Spermatogonial Stem Cells (SSCs) culture to restore men fertility. The objective of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 5 Dec 2017 · 6,923 accessesView PDF Cite
