Demodex folliculorum, commonly known as the follicle mite is a parasite of man in all parts of the globe. It was discovered independently by He:Qle (1841) and Berger (1845). Simon (1842) described it as Acarus folliculorum. Owen (1843) reevaluated the genus as Demodex. According to Akbulatova (1963) there are two subspecies namely Demodex folliculorum longus and Demodex folliculorum brevis, syn...

Calcific tendinitis of hand and foot is rare and frequently misdiagnosed because of its rare incidence and its similar clinical presentation to other conditions such as infection. Awareness of the typical location as well as familiarity with the imaging findings is essential for making a correct diagnosis of this rare condition. We report four cases of calcific tendinitis of hand and foot, occu...

this study utilized molecular methods to identify 22 isolates from traditional dairy products of azerbaijan. pcr was carried out using the universal primers of 16s rdna and a fragment of ~1500bp was amplified. amplified ribosomal dna restriction analysis was performed using bsuri, mspi, hindiii, taqi and bsp143i. ardra results were compared to the restriction profile in enzymatic restriction an...

An animal chamber and a simple microspectrophotometer for investigating the in vivo oxygenation of the haemoglobin of E. brevis are described. The in vivo absorption peaks of this haemoglobin occur at similar wavelengths to those of other nematodes. Mean values, given with their corresponding standard errors, occur at 577.6 plus or minus 0.6 nm, 543.6 plus or minus 0.5 nm and 421.7 plus or minu...

ABSTRACT Pyrrhulina brevis is an endemic fish from the Amazon basin that valued in ornamental market. In larviculture, are very sensitive to stressors and have a high mortality rate. Salinized water may provide more energy overcome stress feeding frequency important strategy improve productive performance. Therefore, aim of this study was evaluate best level salinization for larval development ...

An ultrasensitive chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) was developed for the rapid detection and quantification of Lactobacillus brevis contaminants in beer and pitching yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae slurry collected for reinoculation). L. brevis cells trapped on a 47-mm nucleopore membrane (0.4-micron pore size) were reacted with a peroxidase-labelled Lactobacillus group E antibody an...

RATIONALE We describe a novel negative chemically activated fragmentation/positive chemically activated fragmentation (CAF-/CAF+) technique for protein identification. The technique was used to investigate Lactobacillus brevis adaptation to nutrient deprivation. METHODS The CAF-/CAF+ method enables de novo sequencing of derivate peptides with negative and positive ion mode matrix-assisted las...

The activity of the membrane-bound H+-ATPase of the beer spoilage bacterium Lactobacillus brevis ABBC45 increased upon adaptation to bacteriostatic hop compounds. The ATPase activity was optimal around pH 5.6 and increased up to fourfold when L. brevis was exposed to 666 microM hop compounds. The extent of activation depended on the concentration of hop compounds and was maximal at the highest ...
