Phytochemical, spectroscopic analysis and antifungal activity on bell peppers of hydrothermal bioactive metabolites of L. extracts.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of temperature on the potential extraction of bioactive compounds from aqueous hop extract samples. The main bioactive components were characterised and analysed by LC-MS/MS, FT-IR, phenolic compounds and total flavonoids. Antifungal activity was evaluated and in bell peppers.

Findings on Age at Onset of Cancer in Diabetic and Non-diabetic Populations.

Background Diabetes mellitus and cancer are two associated chronic diseases. Despite being a widely researched topic, the underlying mechanisms of this association remain unclear. One of the poorly explored topics regarding diabetes and cancer is the relation between the age of cancer onset and diabetes mellitus status; therefore, this research exposes the difference in the age of cancer diagnosis in both groups.

New Strains Isolated from Rhizosphere for Suppressing Spp. and Enhancing Growth of L.

Rhizobacteria from desert plants can alleviate biotic stress and suppress plant diseases, and consequently can enhance plant growth. Therefore, the current study was performed to isolate and identify -associating rhizobacteria based on their antagonistic activity against species and plant growth-promoting properties. Three bacterial isolates were identified as : LDA-1, LDA-2, and LDA-3.

Recovering Osteoblast Functionality on TiO Nanotube Surfaces Under Diabetic Conditions.

Introduction: Titanium (Ti) and its alloys (eg, TiAlV) are exceptional treatments for replacing or repairing bones and damaged surrounding tissues. Although Ti-based implants exhibit excellent osteoconductive performance under healthy conditions, the effectiveness and successful clinical achievements are negatively altered in diabetic patients. Concernedly, diabetes mellitus (DM) contributes to osteoblastic dysfunctionality, altering efficient osseointegration.

Shiga toxin-producing O157 in piglets and food from backyard systems.

Piglets suffer from diarrhea caused by the Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) and can be carriers of the bacteria, with public health consequences in developing countries. The aim of the present study was to study the prevalence of STEC O157 in feces of 465 piglets and 54 food mixes from backyard systems, the antimicrobial susceptibility of STEC and the frequency of genes encoding extended-spectrum β-lactamases. The was isolated from 75.
