Comparison of Abstinence and Coital Frequency Between 2 Natural Methods of Family Planning [PDF]
, 2014 Introduction The length of periodic abstinence, due to overestimation of the fertile phase of the menstrual cycle, is often a cause for dissatisfaction, discontinuation, and user error with natural family planning (NFP) methods.

Relevance of the bacteriophage adherence to mucus model for Pseudomonas aeruginosa phages
Microbiology SpectrumPseudomonas aeruginosa infections are getting increasingly serious as antimicrobial resistance spreads. Phage therapy may be a solution to the problem, especially if improved by current advances on phage-host studies.

Stress Response System in the Fish Skin—Welfare Measures Revisited
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 The skin of vertebrates acts as a biological barrier defending the organism against many harmful environmental factors. It is well established that the main stress hormone cortisol, together with antioxidants such as melatonin (Mel) and its biologically ...

The epithelium takes the stage in asthma and inflammatory bowel diseases
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyThe epithelium is a dynamic barrier and the damage to this epithelial layer governs a variety of complex mechanisms involving not only epithelial cells but all resident tissue constituents, including immune and stroma cells.

Mucus-Pathogen Interactions in the Gastrointestinal Tract of Farmed Animals
Microorganisms, 2018 Gastrointestinal infections cause significant challenges and economic losses in animal husbandry. As pathogens becoming resistant to antibiotics are a growing concern worldwide, alternative strategies to treat infections in farmed animals are necessary ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Mucus and ciliated cells of human lung : splitting strategies for particle methods and 3D stokes flows [PDF]
, 2012 Lung walls are covered by a film of mucus, whose motility is fundamental for a healthy behavior. Indeed, mucus traps inhaled aerosols (bacteria, dust, ...), and moves from smallest to largest airways, until it reaches esophagus where is it swallowed or ...

In vitro markers for virulence in Yersinia ruckeri [PDF]
, 2010 In this study, different traits that have been associated with bacterial virulence were studied in Yersinia ruckeri. Two isolates that had been shown to cause disease and mortality in experimentally infected rainbow trout were compared with five ...
