In this study, new compounds of Schiff bases were prepared (1-6), from the reaction sulfamethoxazole with benzaldehyde derivatives. (1-6) converted to 1,3-Oxazepine-4,7-dione and 1,3-Benzooxazepine-4,7-dione derivatives (7-18) through maleic anhydride as well phthalic using crushing, grinding microwave irradiation method. The structures all have been identified by (I.R) technique, also some (1H...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES To determine the possible role of cockroaches in dissemination of medically important microorganisms, a study was carried out in public hospitals and residential areas of Hamadan city, west of Iran. Bacteria, fungi and parasites of medical importance were isolated and identified. The total number of Blattella germanica collected from hospitals were 133 as the case group....

AIM To assess the incidence of sepsis in selected intensive care units (ICUs) in Croatia, isolates from blood cultures, and sepsis outcomes, and to compare the results with those from other European countries. METHODS In the pilot phase of the national comparative clinical database project, we included 24 ICUs--general, specialized, neonatal, pediatric, and adult--18 from university hospitals...

With the advent of high-throughput DNA sequencing, the number of identified cardiomyopathy-causing mutations has increased tremendously. As the majority of these mutations affect myofilament proteins, there is a need to understand their functional consequence on contraction. Permeabilized myofilament preparations coupled with protein exchange protocols are a common method for examining into con...

The spread of food spoilage microflora and food borne pathogenic bacteria are threat for food security and human health. The prolonged use of antibiotics or chemical preservatives to eradicate this microflora is disadvantageous because of the occurrence of resistant microbial strains. Bacteriocins from probiotic lactic acid bacteria currently appear as one of the best alternatives. Palm wine ha...

The confounding consequences of Helicobacter bilis infection in experimental mice populations are well recognized, but the role of this bacterium in human diseases is less known. Limited data are available on virulence determinants of this species. In Helicobacter pylori, γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (γGT) contributes to the colonization of the gastric mucosa and to the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer...

The problem of treatment and prevention infectious-inflammatory post extraction complications in modern surgical dentistry are still challenging, despite the great advances this field. Many etiological factors identified as contributing to development such complications, but at present scientists paying much attention infectious factor, which is associated with microflora tooth socket after rem...
