background: the appearance of multi-drug resistant microorganisms is becoming a global problem. already several strategies have been employed for overcoming antibiotic resistance issue. developing new antimicrobial compounds from microbial source could be a beneficial solution. hence screening programs in order to discover new antibiotics from microbial entities is interesting. because of high ...

hydatid cyst locates in the liver (70%), lungs (25%) and rarely in other body tissues. cases with gluteal muscle localized hydatid cyst are rarely seen in literature. in this case report, a woman with hydatid cyst that was located in gluteal muscle was discussed. after the patient had been diagnosed, complete surgical excision was performed with the patient. albendazole treatment was applied in...

Dermatomyositis (DM) is an autoimmune disorder with idiopathic myopathy and characteristic skin manifestations that one often accompanied by an internal malignancy. The association between dermatomyositis and malignancy has been reported several times, although tonsillar carcinoma is extremely rare not only in far eastern populations but also in caucasian populations. We report two cases of Kor...

Despite low global diversity among natural populations of Caenorhabditis elegans, neighboring populations can be as genetically distinct as strains from different continents, probably owing to transient bottlenecks and ongoing dispersal as a dauer larva. Selfing predominates in the wild, but rare outcrossing may also play an important role.

introduction: hearing loss is the most common sensory neural defect in humans, affecting 1 in 1000 neonates, with over half of these cases predicted to be hereditary in nature. most hereditary hearing loss is inherited in a recessive fashion, accounting for approximately 80 % of non-syndromic hearing loss (nshl). mutations in gjb2 gene are major cause of inherited deafness in the european and a...

The critical evidence for regarding populations of two or more forms as belonging to separate species is that they cari coexist without losing their genetic integrity by hybridization. This widely accepted definition is not invalidated by rare hybridisation since SO tenuous a gene exchange does not affect the integrity of the gene pool of the populations of the species (MAYR, LINSLEY, & USINGER...
