High vaginal swabs (HVS) obtained from 500 volunteers in Edo State, Nigeria which comprised 394 contraceptive users and 106 non-contraceptive users were screened for the prevalence of Candida species using standard procedures. Results revealed the isolation of Candida species in 246 of volunteers. These included Candida albicans 174 (38.4%), Candida pseudotropicalis 20 (4%), Candida stellatoide...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to investigate 394 subjects. Images were obtained in the three spatial orthogonal planes and evaluated by two expert radiologists. The state of meniscal and cruciate ligaments was recorded and statistical analysis was carried out by bivariate analysis. Out of twenty four of 394 subjects, 24 had Baker’s cysts (6.2%). Meniscal lesions were observed in 200...

HOC-I ovarian cancer cells express the single-chain form of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and cathepsin B (calli B) on their cell surface. The significance of the expression of cell surface uPA/ cath B activity to the invasive potential was examined by preincubating with uPA/cath B-modulating agents in in vitro invasion assay. The antiuPA monoclonal antibody 394 effectively inh...

Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a human pathogen that was first identified from a foodborne outbreak in 1982, and in the 25 years that followed, many new strains were identified and emerged in numerous outbreaks of human disease. Extensive research has been conducted to identify virulence factor genes involved in the pathogenesis of E. coli O157:H7 and many genome sequences of E. coli O157:H7 strai...

NM394 is a new 6-fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent with a tricyclic structure which has a bridge that connects the N-1 and C-2 positions of the quinolone. The antibacterial activity of NM394 against clinical isolates of staphylococci, streptococci, enterococci, members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was equal to or one-half that of ciprofloxacin. NM394 was as act...
