introduction: amiodarone is an effective drug for life-threatening arrhythmias like recurrent ventricular fibrillation and atrial fibrillation. amiodarone creates rarely genitourinary side effects are seen. these are epididymitis, testicular dysfunction and impotance. amiodarone aggregates and triggers inflammation in the head of the epididym. case report: we present the case of a patient who d...

AIM The aim of the study was to evaluate the ability of in vitro planktonic and immobilized cell models for determining the antimicrobial efficacy of common antimicrobial wound dressings. METHODS AND RESULTS Five strains of Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus were tested against four antimicrobial wound dressings containing silver, h...

Neutrinos, being the only fermions in Standard Model of Particle Physics that do not possess electromagnetic or color charges, have unique opportunity to communicate with outside through mass mixing. Such Model-singlet are generally referred as “sterile neutrinos”. In this review article, we discuss theoretical and experimental motivation for sterile neutrinos, well their phenomenological conse...

Helix-hairpin-helix (HhH) is a widespread motif involved in non-sequence-specific DNA binding. The majority of HhH motifs function as DNA-binding modules, however, some of them are used to mediate protein-protein interactions or have acquired enzymatic activity by incorporating catalytic residues (DNA glycosylases). From sequence and structural analysis of HhH-containing proteins we conclude th...

the microfiltration 0.2 µm cellulose acetate (ca) membrane was modified by embedding antibacterial silver nano-particles in the membrane pores. this novel technique was developed to enhance the capability of the microfiltration membrane for removing microorganism including bacteria. the prepared membrane was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (sem), energy-dispersive x-ray spectro...
