These findings suggest that gut bacterial communities respond dynamically and simultaneously to changes within the host’s body (e.g. the presence of nematodes) and to changes in the wider environment of the host.Rhizopus arrhizus is a common pathogenic Mucoralean mold that exists as a saprophyte, and is disseminated through sporangiospores, which…[Read more]

01), and platelet count (P = 0.04) were prognostic factors for RFS; tumor size (P = 0.01) and GPS (P = 0.04) were independent prognostic factors in multivariate analysis. Preoperative high GPS were predictors of long-term prognosis in patients with resected GISTs.Disparities remain in HIV viral load (VL) suppression between people living with…[Read more]

The green fluorescence to total colony area ratio decreased with RA treatment, suggesting that RA significantly promoted differentiation, whereas 5-FU and VC had almost no effect, as verified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis. In conclusion, our study established a rapid and efficient drug screening…[Read more]

Vitamin deficiency causes classical deficiency diseases such as beriberi and rickets. Vitamin insufficiency, which is milder than deficiency, is a risk for various chronic diseases, but its significance has not been recognized in Japan. Vitamin D insufficiency is quite common in Japan, and a serious risk for osteoporotic fracture through its…[Read more]

Hydroponic produce is gaining popularity due to its suitability for urban agriculture. The general public also considers that hydroponic produce is free from microbiological contamination. In this study, we compared the frequency and abundance of tetracycline-resistant and sulphadiazine-resistant bacteria and the minimal inhibitory concentration…[Read more]

Orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) are essential for orchids growth. Bletilla striata (Thunb.) Rchb.f.(Orchidaceae) has high ornamental and medicinal value. Beneficial OMF isolation is crucial to improve the survival rate of B. striata tissue culture and transplanting. In this study, we isolated and identified the beneficial OMF in B. striata from the…[Read more]

We evaluated the effectiveness of office-based vergence/accommodative therapy with home reinforcement for intermittent exotropia in a private practice environment.

This was a retrospective chart review study. Patients who received office-based vision therapy for intermittent exotropia in a private optometric clinic were reviewed. Patients…[Read more]

This paper discusses a new variant of spiking neural P systems (in short, SNP systems), spiking neural P systems with extended channel rules (in short, SNP-ECR systems). SNP-ECR systems are a class of distributed parallel computing models. In SNP-ECR systems, a new type of spiking rule is introduced, called ECR. With an ECR, a neuron can send the…[Read more]

, and continuous use of the device decreased over time. A need exists for improvement in home monitoring technology for eyes with iAMD at risk of conversion to nAMD.

Compared with the prospective HOME study, the utility of the ForeseeHome device in the current analysis of clinical practice application was limited. A meaningful proportion of…[Read more]
