The antibacterial properties of Ampelocissus latifolia root extract against Bacillus anthracis

BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies
Background Bacillus anthracis a spore-forming Gram-positive bacterium, is the causative agent of anthrax in both animals and humans. The potential emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains of B. anthracis further poses a significant concern.

Signal‐to‐noise and spatial resolution in in‐line imaging. 3. Optimization using a simple model

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
Geometrical magnification and X‐ray energy are optimized with respect to spatial resolution, contrast, noise, radiation dose and other image quality characteristics. The optimization is performed using a simple theoretical model of a homogeneous edge feature embedded in a bulk uniform sample, and the resulting generic analytical expressions for image ...

Are crop yields limited by pollinators? Proper assessments using pollinator gradients require measurements of flower density and yield potential

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract It is widely documented that many crops depend on animal—and primarily insect—pollination, but the degree to which pollinators limit yield in comparison with other factors is poorly understood.

Identification of MEF2A, MEF2C, and MEF2D interactomes in basal and Fsk‐stimulated mouse MA‐10 Leydig cells

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Myocyte enhancer factor 2 transcription factors regulate essential transcriptional programs in various cell types. The activity of myocyte enhancer factor 2 factors is modulated through interactions with cofactors, chromatin remodelers, and other regulatory proteins, which are dependent on cell context and physiological state.

Possible welfare benefits of basic income support: Evidence from a benefit incidence analysis in South Africa

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract The study investigates the potential welfare effect of basic income support (BIS) in reducing poverty and inequality in South Africa. Using the 2017 labour force survey and a benefit incidence analysis, we consider three BIS scenarios: (i) universal income support for those aged between 18 and 59; (ii) only those who are unemployed receive the

Providing holistic care for patients with metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease/metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis: Key aspects of clinical assessment and how to develop individualised care plans for surveillance and interventions

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), characterised by hepatic steatosis and metabolic dysfunction (i.e., obesity, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidaemia, and hypertension), is affecting over 30% of the adult population worldwide.

Anemia‐associated mutations disrupt the CDIN1‐Codanin1 complex in inherited congenital dyserythropoietic anemia I (CDA‐I) disease

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type I (CDA‐I) arises from mutations in Codanin1 and CDIN1. Using quantitative biophysical approaches, we show that disease‐associated mutations disrupt the CDIN1‐Codanin1 complex. Our findings provide critical insights into the molecular mechanism that links protein dysfunction to disturbing chromatin arrangement ...

Quality of Dying Among Institutionalised Nursing Home Residents From the Caregivers' Perspective: A Mixed‐Methods Study

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims To examine how family caregivers of deceased nursing home residents scored and justified their ratings for each item on the Quality of Dying in Long‐Term Care scale and to identify the consistencies and discrepancies between their perceptions and the scores assigned when assessing the residents' end‐of‐life experience. Design A convergent

Performance analysis of vertical smart isolator based on magnetorheological elastomer

International Journal of Smart and Nano Materials
As one of the field-dependent smart materials whose stiffness and damping properties can change instantaneously and reversibly, magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) has been extensively utilized on base isolation for vibration reduction.
