Citrus flavonoids diosmin, myricetin and neohesperidin as inhibitors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Evidence from antibiofilm, gene expression and in vivo analysis.

Citrus flavonoids are group of bioactive polyphenols. Here, we investigated the potential of diosmin, myricetin and neohesperidin as possible inhibitors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This bacterium is a major clinical challenge due to its propensity to form resistant biofilm.

Exploring health beneficial effects of poisonous mushroom Batsch Fr.

In the present study, phenolic and flavonoid composition and biological properties of methanolic extract of wild growing collected in Serbia have been investigated. Ellagic acid was the most abundant phenolic compound (34.92 µg g-), followed by 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (4.

Microwave Irradiation as a Powerful Tool for Isolating Isoflavones from Soybean Flour.

The use of microwave irradiation energy for isolating bioactive compounds from plant materials has gained popularity due to its ability to penetrate cells and facilitate extraction of intracellular materials, with the added benefits of minimal or no use of organic solvents. This is particularly significant due to the possibility of using extracts in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The aim of this work is to examine the effect of microwave irradiation on the extraction of three of the most important isoflavones from soybean flour, glycitin, genistin, and daidzin, as well as their aglycones, glycitein, genistein, and daidzein.

Origins of Electromagnetic Radiation from Spintronic Terahertz Emitters: A Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory plus Jefimenko Equations Approach.

Microscopic origins of charge currents and electromagnetic (EM) radiation generated by them in spintronic THz emitters-such as, femtosecond laser pulse-driven single magnetic layer or its heterostructures with a nonmagnetic layer hosting strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC)-remain poorly understood despite nearly three decades since the discovery of ultrafast demagnetization. We introduce a first-principles method to compute these quantities, where the dynamics of charge and current densities is obtained from real-time time-dependent density functional theory, which are then fed into the Jefimenko equations for properly retarded electric and magnetic field solutions of the Maxwell equations. By Fourier transforming different time-dependent terms in the Jefimenko equations, we unravel that in the 0.

Analysis of visual evoked potentials in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1: new concepts.

Introduction: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF type 1) is an autosomal dominant disease with typical clinical manifestations, such as skin lesions, Lisch nodules, optic pathway gliomas, and neurofibromas, caused by the mutation of the NF1 gene. Visual evoked potentials (VEP) present a measure of the electrophysiological response of visual cortex to a visual stimulus. The role of VEP in the pathophysiology of NF type 1 is very complex and requires additional research.
