Drug Discovery and Repurposing Inhibits a Major Gut Pathogen-Derived Oncogenic Toxin

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
Objective: The human intestinal microbiome plays an important role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC) development. One of the first discovered bacterial mediators involves Bacteroides fragilis toxin (BFT, also named as ...

THE TRANSCALAR POLITICS AND SPATIAL IMPLICATIONS OF INVESTMENTS IN SHOPPING MALLS IN AFRICAN CITIES: A Study of Accra's West Hills Mall, Ghana

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract A surge in the number of shopping malls across many African cities reflects capital's responses to the continent's growing middle class and deepening neoliberal globalization. This article develops an analysis of the transcalar nature of these urban investments using the case of the West Hills Mall (WHM) in the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (

Bacteroides fragilis Toxin Induces Intestinal Epithelial Cell Secretion of Interleukin-8 by the E-Cadherin/β-Catenin/NF-κB Dependent Pathway

Biomedicines, 2022
Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) has emerged as a gut microbiome pathogen that can promote colitis associated cancer in humans. ETBF secretes the metalloprotease, B.

Indirect fractures in long bones resulting from gunshot trauma: Occurrence, characterization, and need for additional research

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Indirect fractures from gunshot wounds can occur when a projectile impacts soft tissue without making direct contact with the bone. Existing biomechanical and clinical research suggests that indirect fractures result in lower levels of comminution, and that resultant fracture patterns can resemble those seen in blunt force trauma (e.g., wedge ...

Intake and diet preference of dairy heifers grazing mixed or alternating rows of birdsfoot trefoil and cool‐season grasses

Grassland Research
Background Mixtures with birdsfoot trefoil (BFT) increase herbage intake in grazing cattle. We hypothesized that BFT spatially separated from grasses would increase preferential grazing of BFT and herbage intake compared to grass and BFT in mixed rows ...

Unequal pollinator benefits from partial mowing regimes in a field experiment

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Pollinators aggregate in unmown refuges in partially mown vegetation in the first days after mowing. Up to four weeks after mowing, this initial aggregation is followed by a subsequent decline in abundance not observed in unmown locations. This decline is paired with a species richness decrease, revealing that partial mowing filters pollinator ...

Genetic Parameters for Feed Efficiency Indicator Traits in a Rotational Crossbreed Sow Population During Lactation Period

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The selection of feed efficient sows effectively converting feed into milk production and body weight gain will contribute to the overall profitability of pig farming systems. Consequently, the aim of the present study was to estimate genetic parameters for feed efficiency indicator traits during the sow lactation period, and to infer ...

Effects of carbon sources on production performance, enzymatic efficiency and biochemical indices of Nile tilapia under biofloc culture system

Journal of Fisheries
Biofloc technology (BFT) is a sustainable aquaculture system based on the principle of nutrient recycling. This study evaluated the effects of starch, molasses and corn flour as carbon sources on water quality, growth performance, proximate body ...
