OBJECTIVE The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of fortified milk combined with a lifestyle and counselling programme on several CVD risk factors after a 3-month dietary intervention. DESIGN Hypercholesterolaemic adults were randomized to a group supplemented with low-fat milk that was enriched with phytosterols, α-linolenic and linoleic fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants (enrich...

Introduction: Pallasites are of great interest to meteoriticists because they may represent samples of the interfaces between core and mantle materials in asteroids. Further, certain pallasites may be genetically related to the group IIIAB irons, based on similar ∆O values [1], potentially permitting the study of core-mantle evolution within a single body. To better understand the origin and ev...

We report a case of a 9-year-old boy presenting with spastic-dystonic movement disorder of the right arm. MRI showed vast unilateral left-sided polymicrogyria (PMG) with perisylvian, temporal, frontal, and parietal location. Corresponding to the distinctly reduced gyration, the focal pattern of cortical veins in susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) was absent due to missing sulcal depth. In co...

background: pectinases are pectin degrading class of enzymes including polygalacturonase (pg), polymethyl galacturonase (pmg), pectate lyase (pel), and pectin esterase (pe) that are commonly used in processes involving the degradation of plant materials, such as speeding up the extraction of fruit juices.objectives: a highly methylated pectin degrading bacterium from soil covered with fruit was...

Polymicrogyria (PMG) is one of a large group of human cortical malformations that collectively account for a significant percentage of patients with epilepsy, congenital neurological deficits, and intellectual disability. PMG is characterized by an excess of small gyri and abnormal cortical lamination. The most common distribution is bilateral, symmetrical, and maximal, in the region surroundin...

The mega corpus callosum (MCC), polymicrogyria (PMG), and psychomotor retardation (PMR) is an extremely rare cerebral malformation syndrome. It may also be associated with megalocephaly other dysmorphic features. There are only a few case reports of MCC-PMG-PMR syndrome in the literature.

The vegetable sponge of Luffa cylindrica was studied as a matrix for the immobilization of Aspergillus niger 26, producer of polymethylgalacturonase (PMG). Entrapped spores could grow and multiply within the lattice of the sponge. The influence of loofa sponge inoculum content, initial spore inoculum content, and duration of the growth cycle on the enzyme activity and mycelium growth was studie...
