Lonidamine, a Novel Modulator for the BvgAS System of Bordetella Species.

The Gram-negative bacteria Bordetella pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. bronchiseptica cause respiratory diseases in various mammals.

Evaluation of Febrile Seizures Focusing on the Diurnal Variation.

Background and objectives Several studies have reported the diurnal variation of febrile seizures (FS) in children. However, it remains unclear whether there is a difference in diurnal variation depending on the types of FS. The present study aims to investigate whether simple FS or complex FS influences diurnal fluctuations.

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for treatment of a newly identified lesion revealed no viable cells in the previously treated area with microwave focal therapy.

Introduction: Histological outcome of the targeted focal therapy is in principle confirmed by targeted needle biopsy from the treated area in clinical trial. Herein, we report a rare case in which the MFT was followed by RARP.

Case Presentation: A 68-year-old man with PSA 9.

Triterpenoid saponin from increases the sensitivity of methicillin-resistant to β-lactam and aminoglycoside antibiotics.

The triterpenoid saponins, ginsenosides, are the major bioactive compound of red ginseng and can exert various physiological activities. In the present study, we examined whether red ginseng extract (RGE) exerts antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant (MRSA). RGE had no bactericidal activity, at least in the range of dissolvable concentration.
