Article Synopsis
- The human microbiome consists mainly of anaerobic bacteria living in low-oxygen environments, making traditional live cell imaging methods like GFP ineffective for studying these microbes.
- A new fluorescent imaging technology called FAST has been developed to better visualize bacteria by using small molecules that activate fluorescence only when in contact with specific proteins, leading to improved studies of microbial interactions.
- The Click-FAST platform allows researchers to easily design and customize these fluorescent markers, demonstrated by the creation of a new fluorogen called Blaze-alkyne, which shows promise in selectively labeling bacteria in complex communities and enhancing fluorescent signals.
Article Synopsis
- A detailed study examines how two thiol quantification chromophores, Ellman's reagent and Aldrithiol-4, behave in nonaqueous solvents, highlighting their kinetic profiles and response factors.
- The research demonstrates the effectiveness of various benchtop methods at room temperature, showcasing how organic solvents present different advantages compared to traditional aqueous conditions.
- The analysis includes validation of these methods and successfully quantifies cysteine levels in ovalbumin, emphasizing the applicability of thiol-disulfide exchange chromophores in nonaqueous environments for thiol measurement.
The impact of brushing teeth on carbon-14 urea breath test results.
J Nucl Med Technol
September 2000
Objective: The 14C urea breath test noninvasively detects the presence of the urease-producing bacteria Helicobacter pylori in the stomach. Several sources of errors have been identified to cause false or indeterminate results on the test. The objective of this study was to identify whether brushing teeth affects the test results.

Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol
February 1990
Two cases of exostosis developing after mandibular vestibuloplasty and floor-to-mouth lowering with split thickness skin graft are presented, one with multiple recurrences. The lesion is clinically and microscopically described. Hypotheses with respect to the development of this phenomenon are proposed.
