The role of morphological adaptability in 's motility.

Unlabelled: the causative agent of cholera, displays remarkable adaptability to diverse environmental conditions through morphological changes that enhance its pathogenicity and influence the global epidemiology of the disease. This study examines the motility differences between filamentous and comma-shaped forms of the O1 strain under various viscosity conditions. Utilizing the El Tor strain, we induced filamentous transformation and conducted a comparative analysis with the canonical comma-shaped morphology.

Impact of Fecal Organic Acid Profile Before Training on Athletic Performance Improvement After High-Intensity Interval Training.

Purpose: This study sought to investigate the efficacy of Tabata-style high-intensity interval training (T-HIIT) on athletic performance in judoka and to determine the impact of the fecal organic acid profile before training on the improvement of athletic performance.

Methods: Twenty males from Aichi University Judo Club (10 high-level competitors and 10 others) were included. Physical fitness tests such as the Uchikomi shuttle run, countermovement jump, squat jump, and chin-ups using a judo uniform were performed before and after T-HIIT.

Engineered odorant receptors illuminate the basis of odour discrimination.

How the olfactory system detects and distinguishes odorants with diverse physicochemical properties and molecular configurations remains poorly understood. Vertebrate animals perceive odours through G protein-coupled odorant receptors (ORs). In humans, around 400 ORs enable the sense of smell.

Impact of Pre-operative Lymphocyte and Albumin Combination on Adjuvant Chemotherapy and Prognosis of Gastric Cancer.

Background/aim: Cancer-associated systemic inflammatory response is a pivotal indicator of tumor progression and prognosis in various cancers. "Lymphocyte × albumin (LA)" is a prognostic inflammatory marker in rectal cancer. This study examined the correlation between LA, complete adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT), and prognosis in patients with gastric cancer (GC) who underwent radical gastrectomy.
