Despite the poor prognosis of ovarian cancer and the importance of early diagnosis, there are no reliable noninvasive biomarkers for detection in the early stages of disease. Therefore, to identify novel ovarian cancer markers with potential utility in early-stage screening protocols, we have undertaken an unbiased and comprehensive analysis of gene expression in primary ovarian tumors and norm...

Phytomanagement uses plants and soil conditioners to create value on contaminated land while minimizing environmental risk. This work was carried out a metal(loid)-contaminated site aimed at assessing the suitability of Salvia sclarea L. (sage) Coriandrum sativum (coriander) combined with an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) inoculant immobilize metal(loid)s produce essential oils (EO). The e...

background: deodorant products prevent the growth and activity of the degrading apocrine gland bacteria living in the armpit. common antibacterial agents in the market like triclosan and aluminum salts, in spite of their suitable antibacterial eff ects, increase the risk of alzheimer’s disease, breast and prostate cancers or induce contact dermatitis. th erefore, plant extracts possessing ant...

Recent studies suggest that nitrogen can have significant effects on microbial activity and carbon storage by causing shifts in fungal:bacterial activity such that bacterial degradation pathways become dominant under high nitrogen conditions. If true, changes in fungal:bacterial (F:B) ratios could have a major impact on carbon storage in urban pollution affected soils that receive high amounts ...

This study examines 1211 cases of coincident ozone profiles derived from 1164 Umkehrs and 928 SAGE II profiles within 1000 km and 12 hours between October 1984 and April 1989 to study the stratospheric-aerosol effect on Umkehr ozone profiles. Because of the close correspondence of stratospheric aerosol optical depth at the SAGE II-measured 0.525 micron wavelength and the extrapolated 0.32 Umkeh...

INTRODUCTION The spreading of bacterial antibiotic resistance among clinical strains of pathogenic bacteria has made investigators to search for other active antibacterial agents which could provide a valuable complement to the existing therapies. AIM To determine the antibacterial activity of clary sage oil (Salvia sclarea L.) against Staphylococcus clinical strains which were isolated from ...
