Chemical Composition, Antimicrobial activity, in Vitro Cytotoxicity and Leukotoxin Neutralization of Essential Oil from against .

In this study, the essential oil of was evaluated for putative antibacterial activity against six clinical strains and five reference strains of , in comparison with some antimicrobials. The chemical composition of the essential oil was analyzed, using chromatography (CG) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry coupled (CG-MS). The major compounds in the oil were Carvacrol (32.

Flow regimes filter species traits of benthic diatom communities and modify the functional features of lowland streams - a nationwide scale study.

Changes in land use, climate and flow diversion are key drivers of river flow regime change that may eventually affect freshwater biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, our knowledge is limited on how the functional features of stream organisms vary along the gradient of hydrological disturbance (i.e.

The potential of MRI-guided online adaptive re-optimisation in radiotherapy of urinary bladder cancer.

Background And Purpose: Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) using plan selection is being introduced clinically for bladder cancer, but the challenge of how to compensate for intra-fractional motion remains. The purpose of this study was to assess target coverage with respect to intra-fractional motion and the potential for normal tissue sparing in MRI-guided ART (MRIGART) using isotropic (MRIGARTiso), an-isotropic (MRIGARTanIso) and population-based margins (MRIGARTpop).

Materials And Methods: Nine bladder cancer patients treated in a phase II trial of plan selection underwent 6-7 weekly repeat MRI series, each with volumetric scans acquired over a 10 min period.

The Impact of Husbands' Prostate Cancer Diagnosis and Participation in a Behavioral Lifestyle Intervention on Spouses' Lives and Relationships With Their Partners.

Background: A prostate cancer diagnosis affects the patient and his spouse. Partners of cancer patients are often the first to respond to the demands related to their husband's illness and thus are likely to be the most supportive individuals available to the patients. It is therefore important to examine how spouses react and handle their husband's prostate cancer diagnosis.

Small molecule induced control in duplex and triplex DNA-directed chemical reactions.

Triplex DNA binders can effectively control copper-catalysed alkyne-azide click reactions in DNA architecture, such that either duplex or triplex DNA directed reactions of terminally attached azides and alkynes occur, in the absence or presence of triplex DNA binder, respectively.
