In this study, some pathogens in the microbiota of traditionally produced White Cheese were determined by molecular methods and their phlogenetic similarities analyzed. Eight different pathogenic species (Citrobacter braakii, Hafnia paralvei, Klebsiella grimontii, Kosakonia sacchari, Raoultella ornithinolytica, terrigena, Serratia liquefaciens, plymuthica) detected Cheese, grimontii was dominan...

Non-cognitive features including personality changes are increasingly recognized in the three PPA variants (semantic-svPPA, non fluent-nfvPPA, and logopenic-lvPPA). However, differences in emotion processing among the PPA variants and its association with white matter tracts are unknown. We compared emotion detection across the three PPA variants and healthy controls (HC), and related them to w...

Studies of populations at genetic risk have the potential to explore the underlying structural and functional mechanisms in the development of psychological disorders. The polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) in the serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4) has been associated with major depression (MDD) (Caspi et al., 2003). In healthy women, variation in the human brain white matter microstructure integri...

Background & Aims of the Study: Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is considered as a major pathogen in public health concern. The objectives of this study were to firstly determine antibiotic sensitivity among Staphylococcus aureus isolated from traditional Iranian white cheese during 2015 from Hamedan province of Iran; and secondly to estimate the presence of ...

The stomach is a source of several circulating peptides/hormones, such as gastrin, pancreastatin, leptin and ghrelin, which are thought to play important roles in the regulation of food intake and body growth. The present study was undertaken in mice in order to examine the effects of diet composition on the body weight gain and the gastric cells that produce these peptides/hormones. Both young...

A new flow cytometry-based automated urine analyzer, the UF-50, was evaluated for its ability to screen urine samples for significant bacteriuria. One hundred eighty-six urine specimens from patients attending an outpatient clinic of a university-based hospital were examined. The results obtained with the UF-50 were compared with those obtained by conventional quantitative urine culture. The UF...

The ability to perform complex as well as simple cognitive tasks engages a network of brain regions that is mediated by the white matter fiber bundles connecting them. Different cognitive tasks employ distinctive white matter fiber bundles. The temporal lobe and its projections subserve a variety of key functions known to deteriorate during aging. In a cohort of 52 healthy subjects (ages 25-82 ...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of frying temperature, time and different batter formulations on the rheological properties and mass transfer during deep fat frying of kurdish cheese nuggets. the effects of white egg (0, 5, 10%) addition to the batter formulation of cheese nuggets and frying at 150, 170 and 190◦c for 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 min have been investigated. the result...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the addition of commercial lipase in various forms on the acceleration of the ripening of uf-feta cheese. commercial lipase from aspergillus niger was encapsulated by using silica composition based on sol-gel method. lipase was then added to cheeses in three forms, namely, free lipase, encapsulated lipase, and encapsulated lipase with arabi...
