Catalpa (Catalpa ovata) seed oil (CPO) is a unique oil that contains a high amount of 9trans,11trans,13cis-conjugated linolenic acid. In the present study, we investigated whether dietary administration with CPO affects the development of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in male F344 rats to elucidate its possible cancer chemopreventive efficiency. Also, the effect o...

ANaerobic MEthanotrophic (ANME) archaea remove the greenhouse gas methane from anoxic environments and diminish its flux to the atmosphere. High methane removal efficiencies are well documented in marine environments, whereas anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) was only recently indicated as an important methane sink in freshwater systems. Freshwater AOM-mediating microorganisms lack taxonomic...

Acute otitis media (AOM) is a leading cause of visits to physicians and of antibiotic prescriptions for young children. We systematically reviewed studies on all-cause AOM episodes and physician visits in which impact was attributed to pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, either as efficacy or effectiveness. Of 18 relevant publications found, most used the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (7...

Acute otitis media (AOM) is not only the most common bacterial infection in children in the United States, it is also the most common indication for the prescription of antibiotics. Unfortunately, antibiotic resistance to pathogens (Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis) typically causative of AOM, continues to increase. More than 30% of the beta-lactamase ...

BACKGROUND Acute otitis media (AOM) is the most common bacterial co-infection of viral bronchiolitis. AIMS To evaluate the influence of AOM on the clinical course of bronchiolitis. SUBJECTS 150 children younger than 24 months old, diagnosed with bronchiolitis, hospitalised between December 1997 and May 1999. METHODS Body temperature, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and the need for o...

Microbially mediated anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) moderates the input of methane, an important greenhouse gas, to the atmosphere by consuming methane produced in various marine, terrestrial, and subsurface environments. AOM coupled to sulfate reduction has been most extensively studied because of the abundance of sulfate in marine systems, but electron acceptors otherthan sulfate are mo...

Acute otitis media (AOM) is, by far, the most common indication for antibiotic prescribing to children.‍1 Thus, understanding the epidemiology of AOM is important to optimize clinical outcomes and promote judicious antibiotic use.‍ In this issue of Pediatrics, Kaur et al2 offer a community-based glimpse into 21st century AOM.‍ Notably, the authors summarize the current bacteriology of AOM in th...

a 16-month prospective, descriptive study was conducted on pneumococcal serotype distribution isolated from children with acute otitis media (aom) and invasive infections (inV). eighty-nine children with pneumococcal inV and 324 with a first episode of aom were included. Bacterial pathogens (n = 326) were isolated from the middle-ear fluid of 250 patients. a total of 30 pneumococcal serotypes w...

Agent-oriented methodology (AOM) is a comprehensive and unified agent methodology for agent-oriented software development. Although AOM is claimed to be able to cope with a complex system development, it is still not yet determined up to what extent this may be true. Therefore, it is vital to conduct an investigation to validate this methodology. This paper presents the adoption of AOM in devel...

Selenium (Se) is known to prevent several cancers while the relationship between high iron and the risk of colorectal cancer is controversial. To investigate the effects of Se in colon carcinogenesis, we subjected three different levels of Se and high-iron diet to a mouse model of colon cancer in which animals were treated with three azoxymethane (AOM) injections followed by dextran sodium sulf...
