The large Sima de los Huesos sample provides for the first time the opportunity of performing a paleopathological study of a Middle Pleistocene population. A high frequency of bilateral temporomandibular arthropathy has been observed. We found an ear hyperostosis in Cranium 4, that probably caused deafness that we consider to be of infectious origin. Three osteomata were found in the cranial co...

Figure 1. Preoperative at 22 months old. Asymmetry of the cranium noted in which the cranium is growing superiorly and laterally on the left side of the patient's head due to a fused right lambdoid suture. Figure 2. Preoperative photograph showing a superior view demonstrating asymmetrical cranial growth of the left side of the patient's head due to a fused lambdoid suture on the right.

background: the present work was planned to evaluate the antihyperglycemic, lipid‑lowering, and antioxidant effect of lactobacillus casei and bifidobacterium bifidum in streptozotocin (stz)‑induced diabetic rats. methods: single daily dose of 1 × 107 cfu/ml of l. casei and b. bifidum alone and in combination of both was given to wistar rats orally by gavaging for 28 days. glucose tolerance test...

Recent advances in gut microbial flora research have shown the health benefits of probiotic bacterial strains on small and large intestines. These strains, particularly Bifidobacterium, offer advantages, including obesity, atopic diseases, inflammatory bowel intestinal cancers human body. However, food components, additives, processing-related factors can an impact survival. As a result, adding...

The Upper Pleistocene localities of Aduma and Bouri have yielded hominid fossils and extensive Middle Stone Age (MSA) archaeological assemblages. The vertebrate fossils recovered include parts of four hominid crania from Aduma and a complete right parietal from Bouri. Archaeological associations and radiometric techniques suggest an Upper Pleistocene age for these hominids. The more complete cr...

Objectives: Development of synbiotic yoghurt using non-fat milk and by incorporating oat flour probiotic strain Bifidobacterium bifidum, evaluating the product for its physico-chemical, rheological sensory characteristics checking viability bifidum in final during storage period. Methods: In current study was prepared skim incorporating, (NCDC 255) oats as prebiotic at two different level (T1-1...

INTRODUCTION Probiotics have demonstrated potential to reduce duration of diarrhoea and frequency of watery stools. Probiotics such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum (Infloran(®)) are usually maintained at a storage temperature of 4°C which is generally not feasible in tropical or sub-tropical countries. AIM The efficacy of Infloran(®) for treatment of acute diarrhoea w...

The presence of the genes engBF (endo-alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase) and afcA (1,2-alpha-L-fucosidase) was detected in several intestinal Bifidobacterium isolates. Two strains of Bifidobacterium bifidum contained both genes, and they were able to degrade high-molecular weight porcine mucin in vitro. The expression of both genes was highly induced in the presence of mucin.

The jaw function of Smilodon fatalis has long been a source of debate. Although modern-day lions subdue large prey through the use of a suffocating throat bite, the dramatically elongated maxillary canines of S. fatalis suggest an alternative bite mechanism. The current literature favors a "canine shear-bite," in which the depression of the cranium by the ventral neck flexors assists the mandib...
