Increasing the area of arable oilseed land, particularly rapeseed, and the important role of potassium in yield and oil content, especially in calcareous and high pH soils, need to more knowledge about plant nutrition requirement. In this study, the effect of sources and different levels of potassium fertilizers on some quality and quantity characteristics on canola yield were assessed by combi...

The capsule of Cryptococcus neoformans can undergo dramatic enlargement, a phenomenon associated with virulence. A prior study that used Ab to the capsule as a marker for older capsular material concluded that capsule growth involved the intermixing of new and old capsular material with displacement of older capsular polysaccharide towards the surface. Here we have revisited that question using...

The paper presents an overview of endoscopic capsules with particular emphasis on technical aspects. It indicates common problems in capsule endoscopy such as: (1) limited wireless communication (2) the use of capsule endoscopy in the case of partial patency of the gastrointestinal tract, (3) limited imaging area, (4) external capsule control limitations. It also presents the prospects of capsu...

The pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans is distinguished by an extensive polysaccharide capsule, which impedes host defences and is absolutely required for fungal virulence. Despite the biological importance of the capsule, nothing is known about how it is assembled. Substantial capsule growth occurs in two distinct situations relevant to cryptococcal pathogenesis: formation of new buds an...

The article summarizes guidelines for endoscopic examinations in children with Crohn’s disease (CD). may be useful endoscopists, pediatric gastroenterologists, pediatricians, pathologists, surgeons. Issues of and monitoring CD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy, ileocolonoscopy, video capsule endoscopy, panintestinal capsule) are considered.

Trypan blue is common in visualizing the anterior capsule during cataract surgery. Inadvertent staining of the posterior capsule during phacoemulsification is a rare complication and there are few reports in the literature. The proposed mechanism of posterior capsule staining in previous reports includes a compromised zonular apparatus or iris retractors facilitating the posterior flow of trypa...

Kanamycin belongs to the aminoglycoside class of bacteriostatic antibiotics that inhibits protein synthesis. Previous studies have shown that treatment with sublethal levels of kanamycin causes the extracellular polysaccharide capsule in E. coli B23 to increase in size, and potentially confers the bacterium with kanamycin resistance. This study attempted to confirm this by establishing that inc...
