Evaluation of Genotoxic and Hemolytic Effects of and Biomass Extracts on Human Blood Cells In Vitro.

This study explores the in vitro effects of cyanotoxins from the methanolic extract of the cyanobacteria and on human blood cells, with samples drawn from the Gruža reservoir in Serbia. These cyanobacteria, which made up 98.5% of the reservoir's phytoplankton, reached densities of 4,656,450 cells mL, with (3,105,120 cells mL) as the dominant species, followed by (1,480,130 cells mL).

Genetic Variations in Patients with Recurrent Herpes Simplex Keratitis.

: Recurrent herpes simplex keratitis (HSK) is the most common cause of corneal blindness in the developed world. A relationship between host gene polymorphisms and the recurrence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection has previously been proposed. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate a potential association between the host genotype and recurrent HSK.
