Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Specific Index for Measuring the Association between Periodontal Conditions and Coronary Artery DiseaseNavabi Nader, Farzaneh MehdizadehProblem statement: There is increasing evidence that periodontal disease could play a role in the Progression of coronary heart disease although there are conflicting results about this association in the literature and the difference of used periodontal scoring systems among the studies might be a reason. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a specific scoring system Periodontal Index … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,022 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuantitative Trait Loci Analysis of Novel Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Tokai 66Y. Yen, A.M. H. Ibrahim, S. Malla et al.Problem Statement: Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) in durable resistant genotype is important for marker-assisted breeding. The study was conducted to identify QTLs linked to FHB resistance in 'Tokai 66', a Japanese genotype. Approach: A cross was made between Tokai 66 and Jagalene and the single seed descend was used to advance the population. The F2:4 and F2:5 populations … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,096 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Relationship between Serum Cotinine Levels and Periodontal StatusFouad Hussain AL-Bayaty, Noor Adinar Baharuddin, Mahmood Ameen AbdullaProblem statement: Smoking plays a significant role in the development of periodontal disease. Quantitative relation between smoking and increased severity of periodontal disease, by means of biochemical marker has not been described in Malaysian population. The present study was designed to apply serum cotinine measurement as a quantitative method to evaluate smoking levels in Malaysian patients and to correlate these … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 24 Mar 2010 · 8,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Evidence for the Association of a Strain of Uganda Variant of East African Cassava Mosaic Virus to Symptom Severity in Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Fields in TogoK. D. Adjata, E. Muller, M. Peterschmitt et al.Problem statement: This study was carried out to demonstrate that the severity of Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD) in Togo, is not only influenced by synergism between cassava Begomoviruses in presence, but essentially by recombination between the different Begomoviruses infecting cassava. Approach: Foliar samples presenting typical biological features of Begomoviruses infection were collected from cassava and wild infected plants from different … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of the Presence of Huanglongbing in Seeds and Movement of the Pathogen in Citrus reticulataHajivand Shokrollah, Thohirah Lee Abdullah, Kamaruzaman Sijam, Siti Nor Akmar AbdullahProblem statement: Huanglongbing (HLB) also known as citrus greening disease is a fastidious phloem-inhabiting bacterium in the genus Candidatus Liberibacter. Using universal primers, the 16S ribosomal DNA sequence of three strains of the bacterium were obtained by PCR. However there is very little information on seed transmission and HLB pathogen movement to find a way for control or reduce the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,092 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Severity of Mitral Valvular Regurgitation with Doppler Echocardiography Using Proximal Flow Convergence MethodPinjari Abdul Khayum, M.N. Giriprasad, P.V. SrideviProblem statement: Valvular regurgitation is recognized as the central cause of morbidity and mortality. Even though the clinician can detect the presence of regurgitation by mere physical examination; diagnostic methods become inevitable while estimating the severity of valvular regurgitation and in the transformation of cardiac chambers as in reaction to the volume overload condition. Lately, a promising new technology, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,223 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInduced Resistance in Mycorrhizal Tomato is correlated to Concentration of Jasmonic AcidRupam KapoorThe study shows that Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) are capable of imparting disease tolerance in tomato plants pre-infected with Fusarium Oxysporum f. sp. Lycopersici (FOL). Inoculation of tomato seedlings with Glomus Macrocarpum (GM) or Glomus Fasciculatum (GF), 20 days after infection with FOL reduced pathogen spread and disease severity by 75 and 78 %, respectively. The mycorrhizal plants showed increased … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 14,219 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractStaphylococcus aureus Vaccine Candidate from MRSA Isolates: The Prospect of a Multivalent VaccineNovra Arya Sandi, Tenri Ashari Wanahari, Isabel MacPhillamy et al.Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a major cause various infections in humans and animals throughout the world. The increasing incidence of S. aureus infection, particularly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is complicated by the antibiotic-resistance phenomenon. Thus, it requires new strategies to prevent wider scale of its incidence occurring. Preventative methods against infectious diseases through vaccination can prevent, control and reduce … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 27 Aug 2015 · 8,474 accessesView PDFCite

KarajehTo control blue mold of apples caused by Penicillium expansum after harvest and during commercial cold storage, microwave exposure was investigated as a physical measure and compared with the use of calcium chloride and the systemic fungicide, carbendazime. Microwave exposure of Golden Delicious and Royal Gala apples at 2450 Mhz for 10, 30 and 45s was effective as 4% CaCl2 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 23 Jan 2014 · 7,524 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPROCALCITONIN AS A MARKER FOR EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF SEPSISRahim Raoofi, Zahra Salmani, Fatemh Moradi et al.Sepsis is a critical condition often caused by bacterial infection and associated with death and mortality. The prognosis of this disease depends on early diagnosis and proper treatment. Definite diagnosis of sepsis is positive blood culture and this test needs a long time to perform, so other biochemical parameters such as procalcitonin serum level has been introduced. To determine sensitivity, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2013 · 7,479 accessesView PDFCite
