Improving Turnaround Times for Routine Antimicrobial Sensitivity Testing Following European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Methodology in Patients with Bacteraemia

Antibiotics
Background/Objectives: Bacteraemia can be fatal without antibiotic intervention. Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing (AST) provides the necessary information for targeted antibiotic therapy; however, the traditional method using disc diffusion can take ...

Computational investigation of sulphate diffusion into the dog disc

2011 18th Iranian Conference of Biomedical Engineering (ICBME), 2011
We proposed a model to investigate the transient diffusion of drug (sulphate) into the intervertebral disc. Using finite element method, drug diffusion was simulated and the concentration of diffused drug in each region of disc including Nucleus pulpous (NP), Inner annulus fibroses (IA), and Outer annulus fibroses (OA) was measured.

Effects of oxidation and hot corrosion in a nickel disc alloy [PDF]

, 2008
This paper describes work to study oxidation and hot corrosion damage in nickel disc alloy RR1000. Oxidation damage has been characterised via mass change data from thermogravimetric analyses at temperatures from 700 to 800 ºC and cyclic oxidation ...

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

Effective diffusion tensor computed by homogenization [PDF]

, 2013
The convergence of the long-time apparent diffusion tensor of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) to the effective diffusion tensor obtained by mathematical homogenization theory was considered for two-compartment geometric models containing non ...

Diffusion Weighted Imaging, Diffusion Tensor Imaging, and T2* Mapping of Lumbar Intervertebral Disc in Young Healthy Adults

Iranian Journal of Radiology, 2016
Background: Although conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could provide excellent detection of morphological changes in the diagnosis of lumbar disc degeneration (LDD), it has some difficulties in discriminating minimal changes associated with ...

The C‐terminal truncated splicing variant of NK1R negatively modulates substance P‐stimulated NK1R signaling

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The neurokinin 1 receptor exists as full‐length (NK1L) and C‐terminally truncated (NK1S) splice variants. We show that NK1S heterodimerizes with NK1L, impairing Gαq coupling and Ca2+ mobilization while enhancing β‐arrestin1 recruitment. NK1S suppresses substance P‐driven gene expression and cell migration, revealing NK1S as an endogenous biased ...

Electroacupuncture attenuates intervertebral disc degeneration by upregulating aquaporins via the cAMP/PKA pathway

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
Background Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is characterized by a decrease in extracellular matrix (ECM) and water loss, which is a major cause of low back pain (LBP). Electroacupuncture (EA) has long been used to relieve LBP in IVDD.

Comparison of Two Disc Diffusion Methods with Minimum Inhibitory Concentration for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Neisseria Gonorrhoeae Isolates

Annals of Medical and Health Sciences Research, 2014
Background: A few studies are available comparing either minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values with the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) disc diffusion method or MIC with the Australian Gonococcal Surveillance Program (AGSP ...
