Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental bacteria increasingly associated to public health problems. In water systems, free-living amoebae (FLA) feed on bacteria by phagocytosis, but several bacteria, including many NTM, are resistant to this predation. Thus, FLA can be seen as a training ground for pathogenic bacteria. Mycobacterium llatzerense was previously described as frequently...

Current challenges and innovations in prostate cancer management concern the development of focal therapies that allow the treatment of only the cancer areas sparing the rest of the gland to minimize the potential morbidity. Among these techniques, focal laser ablation (FLA) appears as a potential candidate to reach the goal of focusing energy delivery on the identified targets. The aim of this...

OBJECTIVE To our knowledge, there is no study dealing with the prevalence of free-living amoebas (FLA) in water sources in Turkey, previous studies were mostly case presentations. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of FLA from tap water and natural water sources in different parts of the city. METHODS In the study, 250 samples were collected from the city centre, d...

Air pollution and the energy crisis are two main driving forces behind development of alternative, environmentally friendly methods production. Photoactive materials can be used both to clean air produce green hydrogen for energy. Transition metal oxides one most considered high-performance photocatalysis. In this work, we investigate effect millisecond flash lamp annealing (FLA) TiO2 on degrad...

Modified techniques for the fluorescent leprosy antibody absorption (FLA-ABS) test and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using phenolic glycolipid-l (PG) antigen of M. leprae were employed for detecting anti-M. /eprae antibodies in sera and saliva from the patients with leprosy , household contacts and inhabitants in leprosy endemic areas . The FLA-ABS test with saliva was positive ...

Background: Allergic reactions to fish are a common cause of food allergy in many areas of the world where fish is a major source of protein. Although different species of fish may be consumed, possible cross-reactivity has received limited investigation. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess potential cross-reactivity to different species of fish species using double-blind, placebo-co...

Foreign language anxiety (FLA) plays an indispensable role in students’ second (L2) learning. This paper briefly reviewed the relevant research based on foreign classroom scale (FLCAS) terms of effects FLA L2 skill performance and debate The indicated that served as a confounding affective variable influencing achievement differently among individuals. Furthermore, from perspectives cognitive p...
