new approaches for treatment of infectious diseases in aquatic animals have important roles in aquaculture technology progress. in the present study, in vitro effects of different extracts of propolis, royal jelly and pollen obtained from beehives have been investigated on aquatic pathogenic bacterial isolates. the isolated bacteria identified on the basis of their biochemical properties and se...

In 1668, when the Royal Society of London received a copy of the book of experiments compiled by the Tuscan Accademia del Cimento, it was deemed by the Society to contain little that was new or innovative, and was seemingly soon forgotten. Yet 15 years later, Richard Waller’s English translation of this book was licensed and published by the Society. The only reason offered by historians for th...

Anna Sergeyevna Tikhonenko (1925-2010) is to be remembered for the excellency of her electron microscopical work, particularly with bacteriophages. She published 113 articles and one book, Ultrastructure of Bacterial Viruses (Izdadelstvo Nauka, Moscow 1968; Plenum Press, New York, 1972). It included 134 micrographs and a complete overview of the 316 phages then examined by electron microscopy. ...

Objectives: Royal jelly (RJ), a secretion of both the hypopharyngeal and mandibular glands of nurse workers, is believed to play a central role in honeybee queen development. Important component of royal jelly are proteins which form about 50% of the dry mass of RJ. Major royal jelly proteins (MRJPs) are the dominant proteinaceous component of royal jelly and constitute about 82-90% of total pr...

Background: Phenylhydrazine (PHZ) is used to induce experimental anemia in animal models. On the other hand royal jelly is known as antioxidant compound. Therefore, here in present study we aimed to evaluate the protective effect of royal jelly on PHZ-induced damages in testicular tissue and compare its impact with vitamin C. Materials and Methods: Eighteen mature male mice were randomly divide...

This lavishly illustrated book was written to commemorate the so-called bicentenary of the Royal Society of Medicine (RSM), which had its beginnings in 1773, though the Society was not formally established until 1907. The Medical Society of London had been founded in 1773, and by 1805 a schism formed, largely due to the autocratic regime of the incumbent President, Dr James Sims, who resolutely...
