background and purpose: candida species constitute an important group of opportunistic fungi, which cause various clinical diseases. considering the resistance of some candida species to conventional antifungal agents, treatment of such cases may be challenging and complicated. the purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the antifungal activities of euphorbia macroclada latex and fluc...

background patients with intellectual disabilities may be treated with antipsychotic medications for a variety of diagnoses. use of this category of medication can increase prolactin levels and place the patient at risk for sexual dysfunction and lower bone mineral density. the proposed mechanism of action is affinity for the dopamine receptor. use of bromocriptine, a dopamine receptor antagoni...

administration of apomorphine and amphetamine induces climbing behavior in mice due to stimulation of brain dopamine receptors. in the present study, the effects of adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists on amphetamine-induced climbing have been investigated. intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of different doses of amphetamine (2,4 and 8 mglkg) induced climbing in mice (p

Professor Lancaster’s audacious prediction of a paperless society by the end of the twentieth century is examined from multiple perspectives. Rationales for the prognostication, textual and contextual; reception by the profession; and impact on the literature of library and information science are reviewed. Bibliometric data is introduced in support of the extensive citation links to Lancaster’...

BACKGROUND Tup1 is a general transcriptional repressor of diverse gene families coordinately controlled by glucose repression, mating type, and other mechanisms in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Several functional domains of Tup1 have been identified, each of which has differing effects on transcriptional repression. In this study, we aim to investigate the role of Tup1 and its domains in maltose me...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is routinely used yeast in food fermentations because it combines several key traits, including fermentation efficiency and production of desirable flavors. However, the dominance of S. cerevisiae in industrial fermentations limits the diversity in the aroma profiles of the end products. Hence, there is a growing interest in non-conventional yeast strains that can help ...

background: in current study, chemical composition and antibacterial activity of leaves and flowers essential oils of origanum vulgare ssp. gracile against four food-borne pathogens including  escherichia coli, listeria monocytogenes, salmonella thyphimurium and staphylococcus aureus were examined. methods: the different organs (leaves and flowers) of o. vulgare ssp. gracile were harvested at f...

introduction: the plethora of studies indicated that there is a cross talk relationship between harmaline and serotonergic (5-ht) system on cognitive and non-cognitive behaviors. thus, the purpose of this study is to assess the effects of hippocampal 5-ht4 receptor on memory acquisition deficit induced by harmaline.  methods: harmaline was injected peritoneally, while 5-ht4 receptor agonist (rs...
