Assessment of stereoscopic optic disc images using an autostereoscopic screen - experimental study [PDF]

, 2008
BACKGROUND: Stereoscopic assessment of the optic disc morphology is an important part of the care of patients with glaucoma. The aim of this study was to assess stereoviewing of stereoscopic optic disc images using an example of the new technology of ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Comparative Evaluation of Antimicrobial Efficacy of Sodium Hypochlorite, Silver Diamine Fluoride, Chitosan and Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles as Root Canal Irrigants against the Bacterial Strain of Enterococcus faecalis- An In vitro Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2020
Introduction: Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) is the most commonly encountered microorganism detected in persistent root canal infections. These bacteria possess certain virulence factors, invade dentinal tubules and resist nutritional deprivation ...

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Performance of disc diffusion and E-test on different Muller-Hinton agar media plates and ComASPⓇ and Bruker UMICⓇ Cefiderocol Microdilution Panels for Cefiderocol susceptibility testing in carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance
BACKGROUND: Cefiderocol is effective against carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) and requires standardized iron concentrations for accurate susceptibility testing. This study evaluated the performance of two commercial broth microdilution (

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Influence of disc height and strain-dependent solute diffusivity on metabolic transport in patient-personalized intervertebral disc models

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
IntroductionIntervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a primary contributor to low back pain, with nutritional stress due to the IVD’s avascularity recognized as a key factor.

The effect of sustained compression on oxygen metabolic transport in the intervertebral disc decreases with degenerative changes.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2011
Intervertebral disc metabolic transport is essential to the functional spine and provides the cells with the nutrients necessary to tissue maintenance. Disc degenerative changes alter the tissue mechanics, but interactions between mechanical loading and ...
