Understanding Age-Related Longitudinal Dynamics in Abundance and Diversity of Dominant Culturable Gut Lactic Acid Bacteria in Pastured Goats.

Understanding gut lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in healthy hosts is an important first step in selecting potential probiotic species. To understand the dynamics of LAB in healthy goats, a cohort of thirty-seven healthy new-born goat kids was studied over a ten-month period. Total LAB was quantified using SYBR green qPCR.

Evidence-Based Design for Workplace Violence Prevention in Emergency Departments Utilizing CPTED and Space Syntax Analyses.

Background: Workplace violence (WPV) is a prevalent phenomenon in Egyptian emergency departments (EDs), an issue that threatens an already scarce resource of healthcare workers. Furthermore, changes and modifications are continuously taking place in hospitals, with no consideration to the important role those changes might play in reducing or encouraging WPV behaviors.

Objective: This research serves as an initial step in offering answers on how the environmental design of an ED can be modified and manipulated to prevent and control WPV.

Refractory CD20 Positive Cellular Rejection in Living Kidney Transplant: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Transplant is the optimal therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease. Acute cellular rejection refractory to treatment remains a major risk factor for graft loss and poor outcomes. In this study, we describe a 39-year-old man who received a living-related kidney transplant.

l-Methioninase from some isolates I: Isolation, identification of best producers and some properties of the crude enzyme produced.

Among 60 isolates of tested; only 40 isolates were capable to utilize l-methionine as the only source of nitrogen in medium. In addition, 24 of these isolates could grow in medium amended with l-methionine as a source of nitrogen and carbon. Qualitative rapid plate assay test shows the ability of 18 of these isolates to grow with a pink color surrounding their colonial growth, while 6 of these isolates could grow and utilize l-methionine without any pink color around their colonial growth.

Combined effect of cadmium, lead, and UV rays on Bacillus cereus using comet assay and oxidative stress parameters.

Exposure to environmental chemicals and oxidative stress particularly at low dose levels may produce additive or synergistic interactions not seen in single component exposure. Exposure to cadmium, lead, and ultraviolet rays occurs in many occupational settings, such as pigment and battery production, galvanization, and recycling of electric tools. However, little is known about interactions between heavy metals and ultraviolet rays.
