Motility allows populations of bacteria to rapidly reach and colonize new microniches or microhabitats. The motility of rhizobia (symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria that nodulate legume roots) is an important factor determining their competitive success. We evaluated the effects of temperature, incubation time, and seed exudates on swimming and swarming motility of five strains of Bradyrhizobiu...

diabetic macular edema (dme) is an advanced symptom diabetic retinopathy. it causes damage to retina and may lead to complete or partial vision loss. exudates are the primary indication of diabetic retinopathy. in this paper, different techniques were presented which is used for detecting the hard exudates. the segmentation of hard exudates is also

Exudates are one of the earliest and most prevalent symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy(DR), which is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus and a major cause of blindness worldwide. Certain areas of the retina with such conditions are to be photocoagulated by laser to stop the disease progress and prevent blindness. Outlining these areas is dependent on outlining the exudates, the blood vess...

Worldwide, contamination of soil and ground water is a severe problem. The negative effects of pollutants on the environment and on human health are diverse and depend on the nature of the pollution. The search for alternative methods for excavation and incineration to clean polluted sites resulted in the application of bioremediation techniques. In this review, we describe some generally accep...

Pea (Pisum sativum) is an important grain legume crop whose cultivation in the Mediterranean basin and West Asia is severely constrained by infection by the weedy root parasite Orobanche crenata (crenate broomrape). Pea is a false host of other species such as O. minor, O. foetida and Phelipanche aegyptiaca. In the present experiments, we demonstrate that seed germination of the Orobanche and P...

Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that is caused by changes in the blood vessels of the retina. The symptom can blur or distort the patient’s vision and are mainly cause of blindness. Exudates are one of the primary signs of diabetic retinopathy. Detection of exudates by ophthalmologists normally required pupil dilation using chemical solution which takes time and affects patie...

Histological studies from autopsy specimens have characterized hard exudates as a composition of lipid-laden macrophages or noncellular materials including lipid and proteinaceous substances (hyaline substances). However, the characteristics of hard exudates in living patients have not been examined due to insufficient resolution of existing equipment. In this study, we used adaptive optics sca...

1. A key component of parental care involves defending resources destined for offspring from a diverse array of potential interspecific competitors, such as social parasites, fungi and bacteria. 2. Just as with other aspects of parental care, such as offspring provisioning or brood defence, sexual conflict between parents may arise over how to share the costs of this form of care. There has bee...

Aim:-The aim of present study was to evaluate the levels of oxidative stress and local inflammatory status in the pleural fluid and blood of patients with pleural effusion of various etiologies. We also examined whether the absolute values of all parameters or the relative ratios between pleural fluids to serum provide the better diagnostic accuracy. Materials and methods:All the parameters are...
