this paper will discuss some new implications of whitehead’s philosophy for environmental thought.[i] they fall under three headings: 1. the interrelations between three ways of thinking about the environment: bioregionalism, land ethics, and the philosophy of organism.  2.  the implications of whitehead’s philosophy of organism for environmental aesthetics.  3.  the implications of whitehead’s...

Micro-organisms commonly produce biofilm, a polymeric matrix that is adherent to inert or living substances and frequently forms on environmental surfaces, medical devices, and traumatized or compromised living and nonviable necrotic tissues such as wounds. The micro-organisms in a biofilm interact with each other and their environment. They are refractory to conventional therapy and resist con...

Introduction: Hand washing and the use of alcohol based hand-rub are two effective hand-hygiene procedures. Though compliance to hand was relatively low, COVID-19 pandemic situation has drastically increased sanitizers. Thus, many sanitizer brands have entered market this study taken up assess microbial efficacy different types sanitizers available in Thimphu. Methods: Ten gel ten liquid were c...

Background: C –Reactive Elevation occurs in various diseases but, the case of corona, I observed that crop protein was raised and it is above average value .patient died because C-Reactive Raised It para particular type produced by liver; when micro-organism enters body central organ body, which liver produces CRP to fight against microorganism c reactive also increases inflamed chronic jaundic...

abstract introduction: diabetes increase salvia sugar and change its bacterial flora these changes destroy periodon-tal tissues. there are contravercies about affect of diabetes on periodontal tissues. in this study cpitn index that show intensity of periodontal damage was compared in insulin depended with healthy individual. methods and materials: in this study 132 cpitn index measured in 132 ...

Fifty eight patients (aged 8-59 years, mean 27) treated for prosthetic valve endocarditis from January 1966 to January 1985 were studied retrospectively by review of case notes. There were 12 cases of early and 46 cases of late prosthetic valve endocarditis. These developed in 28 patients with an isolated aortic valve, in 26 with an isolated mitral valve, and in four with both aortic and mitral...

Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is an established rapid whole-organism fingerprinting method that generates metabolic fingerprints from bacteria that reflect the phenotype of the microorganism under investigation. However, whilst FT-IR spectroscopy is fast (typically 10 s to 1 min per sample), the approaches for microbial sample preparation can be time consuming as plate culture...

OBJECTIVES To determine whether a novel marine micro-organism with anticancer properties, H31, the metabolic product of Bacillus SW31, has anti-tumor effects on head and neck cancer, and potential for apoptotic-enhancing anti-cancer treatment of affected patients. METHODS The cell viability and apoptosis assays were performed. Changes in the signal pathway related to apoptosis were investigat...

AIMS The aim of this study was to isolate a thermotolerant micro-organism that produces polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) composed of medium-chain-length (mcl) HA units from a biodiesel fuel (BDF) by-product as a carbon source. METHODS AND RESULTS We successfully isolated a thermotolerant micro-organism, strain SG4502, capable to accumulate mcl-PHA from a BDF by-product as a carbon source at a cul...

Aim To comparatively evaluate the efficacy of disinfecting ability of garlic oil, neem oil, clove oil, and tulsi oil with autoclaving on endodontic K files tested against Enterococcus faecalis. Materials and methods Fifty endodontic K files were exposed to the test micro-organism and checked for its disinfecting ability using three different methods. Result Garlic oil, clove oil, tulsi oil ...
