We report a case of Demodex infestation in a 35 year old coal miner presenting with a 5 year history of scally papulopustular eruption on his face. He had been working inunderground coal tunnels in a humid- hot- dusty environment and he had been used to bath twice a day with hot water and multiple cleaners. The patient was treated successfully with oral metronidazol, topical permethrin, topical...

OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to investigate frequency of Demodex (D.) folliculorum infestation in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study population consisted of 30 PCOS patients and 30 matched healthy control subjects admitted to the Hospital of Mustafa Kemal University, Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic between March 2013 and January 2014. The demographic char...

The dinoflagellate Karenia brevis is responsible for nearly annual red tides in the Gulf of Mexico that cause extensivemarinemortalities and human illness due to the production of brevetoxins. Although the mechanisms regulating its bloom dynamics and toxicity have received considerable attention, investigation into these processes at the cellular and molecular level has only begun in earnest du...

Brevibacillus brevis strain FJAT-0809-GLX had significant inhibition on many plant and animal pathogens. The draft genome sequence of B. brevis FJAT-0809-GLX is 6 Mb in size and consists of 5,677 genes (protein-coding sequences [CDS]), with an average length of 933 bp and a G+C content of 47.30%. Compared with the published B. brevis strain NBRC 100599, 618 specific genes were identified in the...

“Folliculitis et perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens is a rare disease of unknown etiology...The cause of scalp folliculitis is not well understood. It is generally considered to be an infl ammatory reaction to components of the hair follicle, particularly the micro-organisms. These include: bacteria (especially Propionibacterium acnes, but in severe cases, also Staphylococcus aure...

Peroneal split syndrome refers to longitudinal tearing of the peroneus brevis tendon at the level of the retrofibular groove. It is an increasingly recognized, albeit frequently overlooked, cause of lateral ankle pain. Several surgical options have been documented for managing this entity, however there are no reports emphasizing the role of conservative treatment. A 48-year-old male patient pr...

We investigated the effects of the predominant lactic acid bacteria (LAB) on the fermentation characteristics and aerobic stability of total mixed ration (TMR) silage containing soybean curd residue (SC-TMR silage). The SC-TMR materials were ensiled in laboratory silos for 14 or 56 days. LAB predominant in SC-TMR silage were identified (Exp. 1). Lactobacillus fermentum (L. fermentum) and Strept...

Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) produced by the nitrogen-fixer Trichodesmium sp. has the potential to serve as a nitrogen source for the red tide dinoflagellate Karenia brevis. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) from laboratory cultures of Trichodesmium sp. was isolated, concentrated and then supplied as a nutrient source to K. brevis cells collected from the Gulf of Mexico. K. brevis abundance in...
