abstract background: hyperthermia (also called thermal therapy or thermotherapy) is a type of cancer treatment in which body tissue is exposed to high temperatures (up to 113°f). research has shown that high temperatures can damage and kill cancer cells, usually with minimal injury to normal tissues.  for many years, biologists have investigated cancer by using monolayer cell culture. it is bec...

A PCR-based study of the incidence of enteropathogenic campylobacter infection in humans was done on the basis of a detection and identification algorithm consisting of screening PCRs and species identification by PCR-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. This was applied to DNA extracted from 3,738 fecal samples from patients with sporadic cases of acute gastroenteritis, submitted by seven region...

balb/c mice are highly susceptible to infection with the protozoan parasite leishmania major. this susceptibility has been attributed in part to the expansion of th2 cells and production of their cytokines, il-4 and il-10 and down-regulation of th1 cytokine, inf-γ. the inability of susceptible hosts to mount the immune response necessary to activate macrophage and destroy the parasites can be d...

The present study is focused on biodesulfurization of natural gas in a batch culture using active microorganisms. The microorganisms used for the removal of hydrogen sulfide were obtained from a hot spring. The experiments were conducted with mixed gas at operating temperatures of 25 to 45°C with a time interval of 5h. Two kinetic models included Logistic and Monod models in a batch culture wer...
