8. This vulnerability is primarily attributed to the dual negative impact of air pollution, stemming from inefficient transportation modes, substandard heating systems, increased energy and fossil fuel consumption, as well as the
We found a high prevalence of HR among clinical carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii isolates; most evolved into a resistant phenotype following colistin exposure and withdrawal. In patients treated with colistin, evolution of HR A. baumannii into full resistance could lead to higher rates of treatment...
The isomerization of trans-astaxanthin to cis-isomers has been investigated in various organic solvents [99]. All-trans natural astaxanthin is readily isomerized to cis-trans mixtures, especially the 9-cis and 13-cis isomers. Increased temperature, exposure to light, or the presence of acids can...
Information has been gained at more realistic exposure levels mainly on Cd, Zn, Ni, As, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and herbicides with less on other contaminants. A main goal is a better understanding, at the physiological, biochemical, and molecular levels, of mechanisms and their ...
The extreme diversity of this interaction is genetically determined, having evolved in the ever-changing environment of pathogen exposure. Diversity of KIR and HLA genes is further facilitated by their independent segregation on separate chromosomes. That fetal implantation relies on many of the same ...
