Isolation of a Potential Probiotic and Evaluation of Its Exopolysaccharide for Antioxidant and α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Activities.

The probiotic properties of ten lactic acid bacteria and antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) of the selected strain were investigated in this study. L010 was one of the most active strains across all the in tests. The cell-free supernatant (50 g/l) of L010 showed high levels of both α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (98.

Hyperspectral imaging to accurately segment skin erythema and hyperpigmentation in cutaneous chronic graft-versus-host disease.

In 51 lesions from 15 patients with the inflammatory skin condition chronic graft-versus-host-disease, hyperspectral imaging accurately delineated active erythema and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The method was validated by dermatologist-approved confident delineations of only definitely affected and definitely unaffected areas in photographs. A prototype hyperspectral imaging system acquired a 2.

Complete genome sequence data of KNU-2 and MBEL1842 isolated from kimchi.

Kimchi, a traditional Korean fermented food, contains many lactic acid bacteria. KNU-2 strain with low-temperature tolerance and MBEL1842 with antibacterial activity were isolated from kimchi. The genomes of KNU-2 and  MBEL1842 are composed of one circular chromosomal genome of 1,973,419 bp (37.

Identifying problematic opioid use in electronic health record data: Are we looking in the right place?

Objective: To examine the value of data obtained outside of regular healthcare visits (clinical communications) to detect problematic opioid use in electronic health records (EHRs).

Design: A retrospective cohort study.

Participants: Chronic pain patient records in a large academic medical center.
