Background and AimsBile acid malabsorption (BAM) is a debilitating disease characterized by loose stools high stool frequency. The pathophysiology of BAM not well-understood. We investigated postprandial enterohepatic gluco-metabolic physiology, as well gut microbiome composition fecal bile content in patients with BAM.MethodsTwelve participants selenium-75 homocholic taurine test–verified 12 h...

The fabrication of bio-composite-derived bovine amniotic membrane (BAM) with hydroxyapatite (HAp) is an approach to combining organic and inorganic bio-material improve the properties both materials. This research aims combine, fabricate characterise bio-composite BAM–HA. combination made from BAM HAp in a ratio 30:70, 35:65, 40:60. Dried immersed saline then blended until it forms slurry jelly...

In this study, Penicillium digitatum, the causes of green mould disease of orange fruits, were isolated from infected fruit in Bam city. Antifungal activity of three different plant essential oils Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Zataria multiflora, Myrtus communis at 50, 100, 150 and 200 ppm concentration, have been evaluated. MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) and growth inhibi...

Bile Acid Induced Diarrhoea Pathophysiological and Clinical Aspects Antal Bajor Department of Internal Medicine Institute of Medicine at Sahlgrenska Academy University of Gothenburg Sweden A common cause for referral to gastroenterologists is chronic watery diarrhoea. Approximately 40% of these patients have idiopathic bile acid malabsorption (BAM) – a condition with unknown aetiology. The SeHC...

Motivation: The reference CRAM file format implementation is in Java. We present “Scramble”: a new C implementation of SAM, BAM and CRAM file I/O. Results: The C API for CRAM is 1.5–1.7x slower than BAM at decoding, but 1.8–2.6x faster at encoding. We see file size savings of 40–50%. Availability: Source code is available from http://sourceforge.net/ projects/staden/files/io lib/ Contact: jkb@s...

Rainbow trout and round goby were exposed for 30 days to waterborne and dietary Ni in combination at two waterborne concentration ranges (6.2-12 μmol/L, 68-86 μmol/L), the lower of which is typical of contaminated environments. The prey (black worms; Lumbriculus variegatus) were exposed for 48 h in the effluent of the fish exposure tanks before being fed to the fish (ration=2% body weight/day)....

Ovarian tumors are formed either in the absence of Bam (bag-of-marbles) in germ-line cells or the overexpression of Dpp (decapentaplegic) in ovarian somatic cells. These tumor cells contain spectrosomes characteristic of ovarian germ-line stem cells and the immediate descendents called cystoblasts. We show that pole cells can successfully populate the gonad after transplantation to the dorsal m...

Previous research has shown that Bidirectional Associative Memories (BAM), a special type of artificial neural network, can perform various types of associations that human beings are able to perform with little effort. However, considering a simple association problem, such as associating faces with names, iterative type BAM networks usually take hundreds and sometimes thousands of learning tr...

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has led the life sciences into the big data era. Today, sequencing genomes takes little time and cost, but yields terabytes of data to be stored and analyzed. Biologists are often exposed to excessively time consuming and error-prone data management and analysis hurdles. In this paper, we propose a database management system (DBMS) based approach to a...

We investigate computer vision methods to monitor Intensive Care Units (ICU) and assist in sedation delivery and accident prevention. We propose the use of a Bed Aligned Map (BAM) to analyze the patient’s body. We use a depth camera to localize the bed, estimate its surface and divide it into 10 cm× 10 cm cells. Here, the BAM represents the average cell height over the mattress. This depth-base...
