The distribution of factor B (Bf) phenotypes and gene frequencies were investigated in 280 genetically unrelated persons of the Slovak population. Thin-layer agarose gel high-voltage electrophoresis and subsequent immunofixation were used. A low frequency of the "rare" allele BfFl was observed (BfFl = 0.0017). The frequencies of common Bf alleles BfS and BfF (BfS = 0.816, BfF = 0.1625) and a "rare" allele BfSO.7 (BfSO.7 = 0.0178) were inside the corresponding ranges of BfS, BfF and BfSO.7 found in European Caucasoids. No other variants were observed.

The rapidly increasing number of elderly people in the world highlights the need for the development of innovative foods with modified textures that do not expose the elderly to the risks associated with food consumption (risk of aspiration, suffocation, and chocking). Providing specific food such as edible gel for the elderly population and the study of their properties is a challenge for the scientific community. There are some available gels in the supermarkets destined for the sports population, with specific texture and technological properties that could be used and extrapolated for senior people.

Metabolic syndrome (MS) represents several diseases encompassing a heterogeneous group of biochemical and physiological abnormalities characterized by structural and functional alterations in the myocardium, including the endothelium of the coronary arteries. MS also affects a substantial portion of the global population. Understanding the risk factors, the development and treatment associated with MS are of paramount importance for early identification, treatment and prevention.

Introduction: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely utilized for their exceptional antimicrobial properties, but concerns persist regarding their environmental impacts, particularly in soil and water ecosystems. This study compared the effects of chemically and biologically synthesized AgNPs and ionic silver on bacterial communities commonly present in soil and the proliferation of antibiotic resistance in the soil ecosystem.
Results And Discussion: Biologically synthesized AgNPs exhibited the strongest antimicrobial activity, significantly reducing bacterial populations within a day, and demonstrated minimal impacts on the development of antibiotic resistance in long-term.

The fluke Clinostomum complanatum, a parasite of piscivorous birds, but also reptiles and rarely mammals, has established several foci in the western Palaearctic regions. Previous studies pointed out the complicated taxonomy of the genus, but broader population genetic analysis of C. complanatum has not yet been carried out.

Science is integral to society because it can inform individual, government, corporate, and civil society decision-making on issues such as public health, new technologies or climate change. Yet, public distrust and populist sentiment challenge the relationship between science and society. To help researchers analyse the science-society nexus across different geographical and cultural contexts, we undertook a cross-sectional population survey resulting in a dataset of 71,922 participants in 68 countries.
