Lactic acid bacteria are very significant to human health due to the production of some antimicrobial substances and ability to inhibit pathogenic bacteria. In this study, Lactobacillus strains were isolated from yogurts of Khulna region, Bangladesh and identified as Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei-1. The antimicrobial activity of cell free supernatant was tested against both gram positi...

A protease-sensitive antibacterial substance produced by Bacillus coagulans I4 strain, isolated from cattle faeces, was classified as a bacteriocin-like inhibitory substance and named coagulin. The inhibitory spectrum included B. coagulans and unrelated bacteria such as Enterococcus, Leuconostoc, Oenococcus, Listeria and Pediococcus. Coagulin was stable at 60 degrees C for 90 min, at a pH rangi...

toxocara canis (nematoda: ascaridae) is an intestinal nematode parasite of dogs, which can also cause disease in humans. transmission to humans usually occurs because of direct contact with t. canis eggs present in soil contaminated with the feces of infected dogs. this nematode has extraordinary abilities to survive for many years in different tissues of vertebrates, and develop to maturity in...

Compulsive drug-seeking and drug-taking are important substance-abuse behaviors that have been linked to alterations in dopaminergic neurotransmission and to impaired inhibitory control. Evidence supports the notions that abnormal D₂ receptor-mediated dopamine transmission and inhibitory control may be heritable risk factors for addictions, and that they also reflect drug-induced neuroadaptatio...

• There are top-down and bottom-up aspects to attentional bias. This was explored in dependent nondependent smokers. Dependent smokers have decreased inhibitory control for smoking-related stimuli. Results may indicate that goal-state affects Substance use causes biases substance-related Both (preferential processing) (inhibitory control) processes involved biases. We these of bias by using non...
