AbstractBackground: Exposed to antipsychotic drugs (APDs), older individuals with dementing illness are at risk of cerebrovascular adverse effects (CVAE), including sudden death.Transient microvascular dysfunctions are known to occur in younger persons exposed to APDs, however they seldom progresses to CVAE, suggesting that APDs alone are insuffici
The Influence of Silicateins on the Shape and Crystalline Habit of Silica Carbonate Biomorphs of Alkaline Earth Metals (Ca, Ba, Sr)
This contribution presents the effect of two ortholog enzymes from marine sponges called silicateins on the formation of silica carbonate biomorphs of alkaline metals (Ca, Ba, Sr).In vivo, these enzymes participate in the polymerization of silica.Silicateins from Tethya aurantia and Suberitis domuncula were produced recombinantly and presented diff
Nonionizing Electromagnetic Field: A Promising Alternative for Growing Control Yeast
In the food industry, some fungi are considered to be common spoilage microorganisms which reduce the shelf life of products.To avoid this outcome, different technologies are being developed to control their growth.Electromagnetic fields (EMF) have been used to combat bacterial growth, but there are few studies on yeasts Wall Art and their possible
Retrospective Serology Study of Respiratory Virus Infections in Captive Great Apes
Great apes are extremely sensitive to infections with human respiratory viruses.In this study, we retrospectively analyzed sera from captive chimpanzees, gorillas and orang-utans.More than 1000 sera (403 chimpanzee, 77 WiiU gorilla, and 535 orang-utan sera) were analyzed for antibodies to the human respiratory viruses RSV (respiratory syncytial vir
