background detection of fastidious enteropathogenic bacteria in fecal samples of patients with gastroenteritis is a challenge in clinical microbiological laboratories. objectives the aim of this study was to compare the detection limits of the pcr and culture methods for the diagnosis of campylobacter spp., yersinia spp., clostridium perfringens, and clostridium difficile in human stool samples...

The eye is a complex and highly developed organ which collects light from the surrounding environment, regulates its intensity through a diaphragm, focuses it through an adjustable lens to form an image on retina where this image is converted into a set of electrical signals transmitted to the brain. The eyes are protected in the skull by a bony box called the eye socket (orbit). The wall of th...

Background: Due to the presence of radioactive minerals such as monazite, the beach sand of the west coast of Kanyakumari exhibits high natural background radiation. Hair is a good indicator of radionuclides in the human body. An attempt is taken to measure the 210Po activity in human hair samples and the factors affecting it. Material and Methods: 210Po activity was analysed in 47 ind...

Molluscan shellfish are known to be carriers of viral and bacterial pathogens. The consumption of raw oysters has been repeatedly linked to outbreaks of viral gastroenteritis and hepatitis A.

The aim of this study was to test if serological distinction between patients with active and inactive neurocysticercosis (NCC), could be accomplished by the recognition of immunodominant peptides in total saline antigenic extract of Taenia solium metacestodes by IgG antibody in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum paired samples. CSF and serum samples of 10 each, active NCC patients, inactive N...
