We report the isolation of Fonsecaea pedrosoi from thorns of the plant Mimosa pudica L. at the place of infection identified by one of our patients. Clinical diagnosis of chromoblastomycosis was established by direct microscopic examination and cultures from the patient's lesion. The same species was isolated from the patient and from the plant. Scanning electron microscopy of the surface of th...

Three commercial plant tannin and a yucca extract having different secondary compound profiles were simultaneously evaluated in vitro for their effects on ruminal methane gas production and rumen fermentation patterns of wheat forage. Overall objective was to quantify in vitro, the sources of tannins and dose levels of tannins and yucca extract on rate of gas production, ruminal fermentation, f...

mimosa pudica lin., known as chue mue, is a stout straggling prostrate shrubby plant, with spinous stipules and globose pinkish flower heads, and grows as weed in almost all parts of the country. it is traditionally used for its various properties and hence in the present study, chloroform extract of mimosa pudica leaves has been screened for its hypolipidemic activity. hypolipidemic activity i...

The aim of this paper is to introduce Mimosa: a generic platform for modelling and simulation and to show its applicability to the speci cation of multi-agent simulations based on the AGR (AgentGroup-Role) model. The Mimosa platform allows to describe the appropriate formalisms for the targeted models and then the models themselves. Moreover, it is able to articulate several models for modellin...

In the present study, bark, which is waste part of a tree, was utilized as source tannin for leather tanning after its value addition. The barks Acacia nilotica L. and Eucalyptus globulus, are abundantly available in Pakistan, were selected this study. Different extraction techniques including mechanical, soxhlet, reflux ultrasonic used from barks. medium included aqueous well different solvent...

Organic extracts (ethanol, petroleum ether and chloroform) of two medicinal plants Lawsonia inermis L. and Mimosa pudica L. were proven for antibacterial properties against 15 Gram-positive and Gram-negative human pathogenic bacteria. Among the three types of extracts tested, ethanol extract was found to possess maximum antibacterial activity. The diameter of the zone of inhibition of bacterial...

The research work done on different species of the genus Mimosa have been reviewed with special reference to Chemistry, Biochemistry and Biological activities.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is crucial for in vivo detection and characterization of white matter lesions (WML) in multiple sclerosis. While these lesions have been studied for over two decades using MRI technology, automated segmentation remains challenging. Although the majority of statistical techniques for the automated segmentation of WML are based on a single imaging modality, recent...

In a vaccine trial setting, intracellular cytokine staining assays measure whether individuals respond to a vaccine. They do so by measuring how antigen-specific T–cells respond to antigen stimulation. Antigen-specific T–cells that respond to antigen express one or multiple cytokines (i.e., IFNg, IL2, TNFa, IL4). The strength of response is measured as the fraction of antigen-specific T-cells e...

Twenty-two propolis samples produced by Apis mellifera L. in an area of the Semiarid region the the State of Bahia (Agreste of Alagoinhas), Brazil, were palynologically analyzed and quantified regarding their levels of total phenolic compounds. These samples were processed using the acetolysis technique with the changes suggested for use with propolis. We found 59 pollen types belonging to 19 f...
