Background: Imbalances in cellular energy homeostasis can lead to diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. The heart, which has to contract incessantly, is very sensitive to nutritional changes and requires optimal energy to fuel adjustment [1]. N-acetylaspartate (NAA) is one of the most abundant metabolites in brain [2] with yet unknown function. NAA is synthesized ...

With 59 Recent species, Bursidae, known as «frog shells», are a small but widely distributed group of tropical and subtropical gastropods that most diverse in the Indo-West Pacific. The present study is aimed at reconstructing phylogenetic relationships bursid based on extensive representative taxon sampling. Five genetic markers (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (cox1), 16 s 12 rRNA mitochondria...

The purpose of this study was to explore the effect gender, age, socioeconomic status, and early childhood parental attachment on vocational identity. Participants included 309 college students who completed a demographic questionnaire, Adult Scale Parental Attachment-Short Form (ASPA-SF; Michael & Snow, 2019), My Vocational Situation (MVS; Holland, Gottfredson, Power, 1980). Responses were...

Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) systems have been reported previously for multiple food- and food animal-associated Campylobacter species (e.g., C. jejuni, C. coli, C. lari, and C. fetus) to both differentiate strains and identify clonal lineages. These MLST methods focused primarily on campylobacters of human clinical (e.g., C. jejuni) or veterinary (e.g., C. fetus) relevance. However, other...

Case presentation: In the present work, we analyze case of a child, daughter consanguineous parents, without acquisition developmental milestones and already at 4 months cephalic control. With hypotonia in first life, could sit with support, lost this milestone age three. There is no social interaction, severe delay language significant dysphagia need for Gastrostomy an increase head circumfere...

• Antarctic environments and biodiversity are vulnerable to climate change. protected areas can help promote resilience change impacts. Climate is little considered in ATS area guidelines agreements. Existing management plans consider International efforts enhance protection should be supported. Antarctica increasingly impacts, with the continent predicted warm by ∼4 °C 2100 under a ‘business a...

A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) system has been reported previously for Campylobacter jejuni to both differentiate strains and identify clonal lineages. However, sequence variation at the MLST loci prevents its use for closely related Campylobacter species. We describe herein an expanded MLST method to include three clinically relevant Campylobacter species, C. coli, C. lari, and C. upsalie...

Polar areas are among the regions where climate change occurs faster than on most of other Earth. To study effects vegetation, there is a need for knowledge its current status and properties. Both classic field observation methods remote sensing based manned aircraft or satellite image analysis have limitations. These include high logistic operation costs, limited research areas, safety risks, ...

The pathogenic bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes can cause an array of diseases in humans, including moderate infections such as pharyngitis (strep throat) as well as life threatening conditions such as necrotizing fasciitis and puerperal fever. The antigen I/II family proteins are cell wall anchored adhesin proteins found on the surfaces of most oral streptococci and are involved in host coloniz...
