The extent of microbial community diversity in two similar sandy surface soils from Virginia and Delaware (USA) was analysed with a culture-independent small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene-based cloning approach with about 400–700 SSU rDNA clones obtained from each sample. While there were no operational taxonomic units (OTUs) having more than three individuals, about 96–99% of the OTUs ...

Alzheimer disease and type 2 diabetes are characterized by increased prevalence with aging, a genetic predisposition, and comparable pathological features in the islet and brain (amyloid derived from amyloid beta protein in the brain in Alzheimer disease and islet amyloid derived from islet amyloid polypeptide in the pancreas in type 2 diabetes). Evidence is growing to link precursors of amyloi...

Introduction: Previous studies have shown that exercise enhances cognitive and functional capacities in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we investigated the effect of long-term (60 days) and short- term (10 days) exercise on the spatial memory deficits in an animal model of AD. Methods: Fifty male rats were divided into 5 groups 1) intact, 2) sham, 3) sham-Alzheimer 4) ...

The National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) recommends, as a quality control for the disk diffusion susceptibility test, the use of three strains from the American Type Culture Collection: Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. This study assesses the capacity of these strains to detect errors in the overall met...

A doença de Alzheimer (DA) é a demência mais comum entre idosos em todo o mundo, que acarreta muitos gastos para saúde pública. Vários são os fatores contribuem acometimento tal patologia,sendo um deles influência genética, visto há risco aumentado familiares quando portador da Doença Alzheimer.

Aim. To investigate the oxidative stress hypothesis in patients with Alzheimer type dementia. Method. Serum melatonin, Zn, Cu, Fe, and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations and erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were measured in patients with Alzheimer disease. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores were obtained for the patients and their ageand sex-matched healthy controls. R...

We measured the length of the pyramidal neurons in the cortical layer III in four subregions of the planum temporale (transitions into superior temporal gyrus, Heschl's gyrus, insular cortex, and Sylvian fissure) in control group and Alzheimer disease patients. Our hypothesis was that overall length of the pyramidal neurons would be smaller in the Alzheimer disease group compared to controls an...
