Yersinia enterocolitica and other Yersinia species, such as Y. pseudotuberculosis, Y. bercovieri, and Y. intermedia, were differentiated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) combined with artificial neural network analysis. A set of well defined Yersinia strains from Switzerland and Germany was used to create a method for FT-IR-based differentiation of Yersinia isolates at the ...

Thalassemia intermedia encompasses a wide clinical spectrum of beta-thalassemia phenotypes. Some thalassemia intermedia patients are asymptomatic until adult life, whereas others are symptomatic from as young as 2 years of age. A number of clinical complications commonly associated with thalassemia intermedia are rarely seen in thalassemia major, including extramedullary hematopoiesis, leg ulce...

BACKGROUND Patients with thalassemia major and intermedia are susceptible to osteopenia and osteoporosis. The mechanism of osteoporosis in these patients is multifactorial. Transfusion related iron overload in endocrine organs leads to impaired growth hormone secretion, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, lack of sex steroids and vitamin D deficiency that contribute to impair...

En filosofía de la percepción el relacionamiento con entorno es terreno donde Realismo Ingenuo y Intencionalismo se posicionan como dos posturas contrarias. La primera ellas presenta una explicación que satisface al busca un esclarecimiento del íntimo en presentación durante percepción, mientras otra teoría podría satisfacer a aquellos buscan manera cual presente tal o modo diferentes percipien...

The relative efficacy of infusion of black tea leaf, Camellia sinensis (Linn.) O. Kuntze, (Theaceae), and iron as freshly prepared aqueous solution of ferrous sulphate in reducing the cytotoxic effects of arsenic, was tested in bone marrow cells of laboratory bred Swiss albino mice. Ferrous sulphate and tea given alone did not induce chromosomal breakage to any appreciable extent. Tea decreased...

Centratherum anthelminticum O. Kuntze, syn. Vernonia anthelmintica Willd. (Asteraceae), is known as kalajiri or purple fleebane. It is an erect, branched, leafy annual herb, 50 to 90 cm in height, distributed throughout India up to 1650 m altitude in the Himalayas, Afghanistan and Malaysia. The seeds are acrid, astringent, anthelmintic, diuretic, stomachic, tonic and used to treat fever, skin d...

Germplasm conservation in the form of seed is convenient and most cost-effective ex situ conservation method for plant species producing orthodox seeds. Several species of plantation crops and spices produce non-orthodox seeds, which exhibit intermediate or recalcitrant seed storage behaviour. Storage of these species requires the use of in vitro conservation techniques for shortto medium-term ...
