Serum Folate Concentration Corresponding to the Red Blood Cell Folate Threshold for Increased Risk of Neural Tube Defects Among Ethiopian Women of Reproductive Age

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neural tube defects (NTDs) are severe birth defects linked to insufficient maternal folate status during early pregnancy. Red blood cell (RBC) folate concentration is the recommended biomarker for predicting NTD risk, with a threshold of 748 nmol/L using the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) microbiological assay. However, in

Effects of Video‐Based Health Education on Birth Outcomes and Anaemia Status of Mothers in Dirashe District South Ethiopia: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Undernutrition and infections during pregnancy result in low birth weight (LBW) and maternal anaemia. Social behaviour change communication (SBCC) can promote recommended health practices, potentially improving maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Dynamic Distribution of the SecA and SecY Translocase Subunits and Septal Localization of the HtrA Surface Chaperone/Protease during Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 Cell Division

mBio, 2011
The Sec translocase pathway is the major route for protein transport across and into the cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria. Previous studies reported that the SecA translocase ATP-binding subunit and the cell surface HtrA protease/chaperone formed a ...

Structural insights into the membrane-extracted dimeric form of the ATPase TraB from the Escherichia coli pKM101 conjugation system [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Type IV secretion (T4S) systems are involved in secretion of virulence factors such as toxins or transforming molecules, or bacterial conjugation. T4S systems are composed of 12 proteins named VirB1-B11 and VirD4.

Vascular, inflammatory and perceptual responses to hot water immersion: Impacts of water depth and temperature in young healthy adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Repeated hot water immersion can improve cardiovascular health; however, the respective effects of distinct immersion protocols remain unclear. Twenty‐two healthy adults completed three 30‐min hot water immersion bouts of different water temperatures and immersion depths (40°C shoulder‐deep immersion, 40‐Shoulder; 42°C waist‐deep immersion, 42‐

Acute metabolic responses to high‐intensity interval training in men with overweight or obesity: Does the exercise modality matter?

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the acute effects of two isoenergetic high‐intensity interval exercise (HIIE) sessions, running (HIIE‐RUN) and cycling (HIIE‐BIKE), on post‐exercise oxygen consumption (V̇O2${\dot V_{{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}$), carbon dioxide production (V̇CO2${\dot V_{{\mathrm{C}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}$), substrate oxidation and 24‐h energy ...

Yet another job for the bacterial ribosome

Microbial Cell, 2019
The ribosome is a sophisticated cellular machine, composed of RNA and protein, which translates the mRNA-encoded genetic information into protein and thus acts at the center of gene expression. Still, the ribosome not only decodes the genetic information,

Comparative effects of a glucose–fructose bar, glucose–fructose hydrogel and maltodextrin gel on carbohydrate oxidation and sprint performance in Tier 2 athletes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Carbohydrate supplementation optimises athletic performance, but the metabolic and performance impacts of commercial products/compositions are underexplored. We compared the efficacy of three commercial carbohydrate supplements: a glucose–fructose bar (GF‐Bar), a glucose–fructose hydrogel (GF‐Gel) and a maltodextrin‐based gel (MD‐Gel ...
