Clarification of the Antagonistic Effect of the Lipopeptides Produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens BPD1 against Pyricularia oryzae via In Situ MALDI-TOF IMS Analysis.

This study tried to clarify the antagonistic effect of the lipopeptides secreted by strain BPD1 (Ba-BPD1) against Cavara (PO). To determine the major antifungal lipopeptides effective against PO, single and dual cultures were carried out in solid-state media. The matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF IMS) was used to identify the most effective lipopeptide in situ.

Safety/Tolerability and efficacy of rivastigmine in taiwanese patients with Alzheimer's disease: a prospective post-marketing surveillance study.

Background And Objectives: Rivastigmine is approved for the symptomatic treatment of mild to moderate dementia in patients with Alzheimer's disease. The drug was launched in Taiwan in 2000. The primary objective of this post-marketing surveillance (PMS) study was to describe the safety/tolerability of treatment with rivastigmine capsules in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
