was measured in 290 children [38]. This is the largest study to date showing no significant benefit of prednisone over placebo in preventing persistent renal disease [38]. That said, there could still be a role for early use of corticosteroids in patients with severe extrarenal symptoms such ...
For example, when environmental factors (e.g. acid rain) attempt to alter the soil and water pH, the soil pH was more affected than water system due to due to the strong buffering capacity of the soil. In addition, the types of microorganisms in soil and water also vary, which may ...
The human body is not just made up of our own cells and genetic material. Microbes, which include bacteria, fungi, archaea, and viruses, inhabit our body and form complex ecosystems in areas such as our skin, mouth, and gut....
Constraint-based metabolic models have been used for decades to predict the phenotype of microorganisms in different environments. However, quantitative predictions are limited unless labor-intensive measurements of media uptake fluxes are performed. We show how hybrid neural-mechanistic models can serve as...
The substances that could partially replace fungicides in potato production include microbiological preparations, weed extracts, seaweed extracts, and Rhizobium biofertilizers [9,10,11,12]. The microbial preparations are a mixture of naturally occurring microorganisms (mainly lactic acid bacteria, yeast, ...
Microorganisms, climate change, and the Sustainable Development Goals: progress and challenges The forthcoming UN summit marks the halfway point to 2030 and presents an important milestone in global efforts to address various challenges, including those related to climate change and environmental preserva...
Insect guts harbour many microorganisms across the three primary regions; foregut, midgut and hindgut (Chapman and Chapman, 1998). These microorganisms have various host functions that include aiding nutrient extraction from foods (Engel and Moran, 2013), detoxification of harmful compounds (Ceja-Navar...
Parallel identification experiments were conducted on approximately 50 strains of microorganisms isolated in daily testing using existing and unconfirmed methods. Differences in identification results can be determined using arbitration methods. 采用现有方法和待确认方法对日常检验中分离的微生物约50株进行平行鉴定...
2. Direct modulation of probiotics homeostasis The population of microorganisms that inhabit the gastrointestinal (GI) tract (i.e., the gut microbiota) is now recognized as a significant factor in determining host health and enhancing host metabolic capacity. Alterations in diet, age, antibiotic use...
