Surgical site infection risk continues to increase due to lack of efficacy in current standard of care drugs.New methods to treat or prevent antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections are needed.Multivalent Adhesion Molecules (MAM) are bacterial adhesins required for virulence.We developed a bacterial adhesion inhibitor using recombinant MAM fragmen

Abstract Several definitions and criteria of the first-flush are being used to assess and control the nonpoint source (diffuse) pollution.The Pterostilbene common consensus is that the first-flush is generally noticed in the small catchments (e.g.10 ha) without on-site monitoring being conducted.However, it is also recommended to come up with a sim

In situ photosynthetic fluorescence of the zooxanthellate Mediterranean coral Cladocora caespitosa (L.) was measured seasonally on colonies from 5 to 27 m depth using an INF-300 Integrating Natural Fluorometer (Biospherical Instrument Inc.).This oceanographic instrument, used to measure the in vivo phytoplankton chlorophyll a (Chl a) fluorescence,

Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the mammalian NAD+ biosynthesis of a salvage pathway and exists in 2 known forms, intracellular Nampt (iNampt) and a secreted form, extracellular Nampt (eNampt).eNampt can generate an intermediate product, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), which has been reported to suppor

Renal cancer (RC) can spread to different organs, metastatic damage of the pancreas is quite rare.But, in contrast of primary and other metastatic malignant tumors, pancreatic RC metastases can be resectable in 80 % of cases with nearly 90 % 5-year survival rate.Pancreatic oncologic surgery includes 3 different types of resection: Cocktail Mixer di
