Although mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) is characterized by the pathological changes in mesial temporal lobe, function alteration was also found in extratemporal regions. Our aim is to investigate the information flow between the epileptogenic zone (EZ) and other brain regions. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (RS-fMRI) data were recorded from 23 patients with left mTLE...

in this study, 42 samples of silage were collected in qaemshahr city in iran during fall 2011. samples were tested by competitive elisa for total aflatoxins. seven samples (16.7%) (mean±se:1.24) from 42 silage samples were positive with total aflatoxin (1.1-27.3 ppb) in nov., dec. and oct. the highest contamination was observed in oct., three samples (21.4%) from 14 samples were contaminated wi...

Current literature accepts 17 species in Penicillium section Sclerotiora. Several produce colonies in bright yellow to orange colours and have monoverticillate conidiophores, apart from P. herquei, P. malachiteum and P. nodositatum, which are biverticillate. The focus of this paper is to refine the concepts of the species currently accepted in the section and introduce five new species, named a...

Studies on dental units (DUs) are conducted either for the prevention or the reduction of the density of bacterial contamination in dental unit waterlines (DUWLs). However, the existence of fungi in the these systems requires more attention. During dental treatment, direct contact with water contaminated with fungi such as Candida, Aspergillus, or inhalation of aerosols from high-speed drill ma...

This work aimed to characterize beverage wastewater generated in the industry and assess treatment plant performance by fungi (Penicillium sp.) feasibility of reuse. Freshly discharged was collected analyzed for physicochemical parameters such as Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical (COD), Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), Nitrate, Phosphate, Magnesium, Calcium, Iron, Copper, Zinc standard metho...

The study examined the microbial load of bacteria and fungi samples stored from 0- 10 days. were subjected to microbiological analysis. organisms isolated characterized by using standard biochemical methods, following bacterial Salmonella sp, Pseudomonas Staphylococcus Klebsiella Serretia Escherichia coli, Citrobacter Enterococcus Enterobacter sp Proteus sp. showed that was more prevalent with ...
