The Effect of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy on the Microbiological Flora of Urinary Calculi [PDF]
To determine whether extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy can sterilize infection stones and, thus, decrease the recurrence rate we investigated its impact on the microbiological flora of staghorn calculi. Fragments from 17 staghorn calculi retrieved percutaneously were divided into paired sets.

Can the Pessary Use Modify the Vaginal Microbiological Flora? A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]
Introduction Vaginal pessary is used as a conservative treatment for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Some studies have shown that common complaints of its use may include vaginal discomfort and increased vaginal discharge. Scant information is available about the microflora status after using this device. Objective To determine if

Can Diet Influence Our Health by Altering Intestinal Microbiota-Derived Fecal Metabolites?
The human gastrointestinal tract harbors a diverse, highly mutualistic microbial flora which could produce a myriad of specialized metabolites. These specialized metabolites are the chemical cellphones that gut microflora use to communicate with their ...

Great Salt Lake microbiology: a historical perspective
Over geologic time, the water in the Bonneville basin has risen and fallen, most dramatically as freshwater Lake Bonneville lost enormous volume 15,000–13,000 years ago and became the modern day Great Salt Lake. It is likely that paleo-humans lived along
