Antibacterial efficacy interference of the photocatalytic TiO nanoparticle and the lytic bacteriophage vb_EcoS_bov25_1D on the Enterohaemorragic strain Sakai.

Post-antibiotic era requires the use of alternative pesticides against bacterial infections. One potential application field is agriculture, where pesticides are routinely applied in combinations. In this study we tested the interference of antibacterial effects of two alternative antimicrobials with basically different mode of actions if applied together by using the Enterohemorrhagic strain Sakai as a modelorganism, one strain of a pathotype that is frequently associated with meat and plant derived infections.

Comparative analysis of prophages carried by human and animal-associated Staphylococcus aureus strains spreading across the European regions.

Staphylococcus aureus is a major human and animal pathogen although the animal-associated S. aureus can be a potential risk of human zoonoses. Acquisition of phage-related genomic islands determines the S.

Microarchitecture of the Augmented Bone Following Sinus Elevation with an Albumin Impregnated Demineralized Freeze-Dried Bone Allograft (BoneAlbumin) versus Anorganic Bovine Bone Mineral: A Randomized Prospective Clinical, Histomorphometric, and Micro-Computed Tomography Study.

Serum albumin has been identified as an endogenous protein that is integral to early bone regeneration. We hypothesized that albumin addition to allografts may result in better bone remodeling than what can be achieved with anorganic xenografts. Sinus elevations were performed at 32 sites of 18 patients with the lateral window technique.

Carbon plate shows even distribution of stress, decreases screw loosening, and increases recovery of preoperative daily feed intake amount in a rabbit model of mandibular continuity defects.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare a carbon plate (CP) and a titanium mandibular reconstruction plate (TMRP) in finite element analysis and an animal model.

Materials And Methods: Twelve rabbits were used for this experiment. After a mandible continuity defect was created, either a CP or a TMRP was used for mandibular reconstruction.

What is the price of survival in Hodgkin's lymphoma? Long-term follow-up of cured patients.

The paper investigates the late complications of cured Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) patients. Ninety cured HL patients between 1975 and 1994 were examined. The mean ages of patients at the time of diagnosing HL, and the median period of survival after diagnosis were 32 (11-70) years and 18 (10-30) years, respectively.

[First detection of human metapneumovirus in a child with respiratory syndrome in Hungary].

Introduction: Human metapneumovirus was identified in 2001 as a respiratory-tract pathogen that has been classified as a new genera in family Paramyxoviridae.

Aims: Molecular detection of human metapneumovirus in Hungary.

Materials And Methods: Human metapneumovirus was identified in nasopharyngeal aspirate amplification of the viral fusion and nucleocapsid genes by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction followed by sequencing and phylogenetic analysis.

[The role of mother-child relationship in development of self-image, dysfunctional attitudes and coping strategies].

Introduction: Our study consisted of two interrelated work stages. In stage one, we set the goal to investigate coping styles and dysfunctional attitudes in patients with eating disorders. In stage two we studied the relationship between coping styles of the patients and mother-child interactional patterns, considering the role of communication in development of stress handling and problem management.

Rare incidence of three consecutive primary tumors in the maxillofacial region: retinoblastoma, leiomyosarcoma, and choriocarcinoma: case report.

Multiple primary tumors occur more commonly in the region of the head and neck than elsewhere in the body. The chance of this is particularly high in patients treated for retinoblastoma, in part because of a genetic predisposition, and in part because of the possibility of irradiation treatment. However, triple tumors occur in only 0.

SSRI supplementation of antimanic medication in dysphoric mania.

The authors report on a 42-year-old female inpatient with bipolar I disorder, whose dysphoric mania responded rapidly and completely while her antimanic medication (lithium, carbamazepine, clozapine, haloperidol and clonazepam) was supplemented by 20 mg of paroxetine daily. The practical and theoretical importance of this case is briefly discussed.

Antidepressant-induced hypomania in obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Out of ten consecutive patients with DSM-III-R obsessive-compulsive disorder without any previous history of bipolarity, three patients showed antidepressant-induced hypomania (clomipramine, one patient; fluvoxamine, two patients) within the first 5 to 8 weeks of the drug treatment. These data support the previous results on a strong association between obsessive-compulsive disorder and bipolar affective illness.

[Experience with the clinical use of laser surgery in the nasal cavity].

The authors treated nasal bleedings of various origin, lower turbinate hypertrophy, nasal polyps and rhinolithiasis using different, kinds of surgical lasers for the first time in Hungary. According to their experiences the modern CO2 and Nd-Yag laser with advanced optics are applicable for the purposes of endonasal laser surgery. The use of CO2 laser is indicated for vaporization and cutting of small haemorrhagic areas without strong bleeding, Nd-Yag laser is more suitable for coagulation and vaporization of highly vascularised tissue masses.

Moclobemide (Aurorix) in primary major depression.

1. Moclobemide (Aurorix) is a newly developed, effective, short-acting well tolerable and safe antidepressant which belongs to the new class of reversible monoamine-oxidase-A inhibitors. 2.

Dexamethasone suppression test as an aid for selection of specific antidepressant drugs in patients with endogenous depression.

The dexamethasone suppression test (DST) and response to two different antidepressant drugs (maprotiline as a specific noradrenergic, and amitriptyline as a predominantly serotoninergic drug) were investigated in 44 endogenously depressed female inpatients. The more anxious and/or agitated patients were mostly treated with amtiriptyline, the non-anxious and retarded patients with maprotiline. It was found that among maprotiline responders (N = 15) there were significantly more abnormal DSTs and postdexamethasone serum cortisol levels were significantly higher than among amitriptyline responders (N = 16).

The dexamethasone suppression test in psychotic versus non-psychotic endogenous depression.

The authors investigated the dexamethasone suppression test (DST) in 93 female patients with primary (endogenous) major depression; in 20 female paranoid schizophrenics, and in 17 healthy females. Depressed patients had a significantly higher rate of abnormal DST response and significantly higher post-dexamethasone serum cortisol levels than schizophrenics and normal controls. The unipolar and bipolar depressives showed a similar profile of DST abnormalities.
