Purpose: To evaluate the effect of carvacrol against Salmonella saintpaul biofilms on stainless steel surface. Methods: The effect of carvacrol on planktonic cells of S saintpaul was evaluated by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC). The action of carvacrol on S. saintpaul biofilms on stainless steel surface was evaluated on establi...

<b>Aims:</b> Tobacco use is involved in endothelial dysfunction, a key marker of cardiovascular diseases. The contribution tobacco their development assessed by dysfunction-related biomarkers smokers and non-smokers.<br /> <b>Methods:</b> 138 83 non-smokers were recruited. Parameters reflecting the function, lipid profile oxidative inflammatory status, quantified. ...

background: silicosis is considered an oxidative stress related disease that can lead to the development of lung cancer. in this study, our purpose was to analysis of volatile organic compounds (vocs) in the exhaled breath of workers exposed to silica containing dust and compare peak area of these compounds with silicosis patients and healthy volunteers (smokers and nonsmokers) groups. methods ...

Heart failure (HF) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have a synergistic effect on cardiovascular (CV) morbidity mortality in patients with established CV disease (CVD). The aim of this review is to summarize the knowledge regarding discriminative abilities conventional novel biomarkers T2DM HF or at higher risk developing HF. While biomarkers, such as natriuretic peptides high-sensitivity tro...

Serum ceruloplasmin (CP), a marker relevant to copper metabolism, is one of famous inflammation markers with a reduction in Wilson's disease, whereas serum ferritin is a marker relevant to iron metabolism. Recently, ferritin is pointed out to be related with oxidative stress. However, there is still no population research which showed the relation of CP and ferritin. Therefore, we investigated ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinically relevant arrhythmia, but the methods available for treating AF and its complications (of which the most important is thrombogenesis), as well as for assessing AF risk and underlying pathophysiology, are largely limited. Emerging evidence suggests a significant role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of AF. That evidence includes elevated s...

BACKGROUND Kindler Syndrome (KS) is an autosomal recessive skin disorder characterized by skin blistering, photosensitivity, premature aging, and propensity to skin cancer. In spite of the knowledge underlying cause of this disease involving mutations of FERMT1 (fermitin family member 1), and efforts to characterize genotype-phenotype correlations, the clinical variability of this genodermatosi...
