Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Mutations mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are becoming increasingly common in various diseases. This study aims to investigate mutations the cytochrome-b (CYB) and adenosine triphosphatase-6 (ATPase-6) genes mtDNA COVID-19 patients. The association between clinical outcomes investigated here. In present study, CYB ATPase-6 were (+) (n = 65) (-) patients 65). First, we...

A comprehensive understanding of the risk factors related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which can cause various severe clinical pictures, is vital for predicting progression and administering appropriate treatment prevent adverse outcomes. Therefore, this study aimed predict presence COVID-19 identify possible patients using CatBoost machine learning (ML) technique. was used classify COVID-19. The model results were evaluated sensitivity (Sen), specificity (Spe), negative...

Random sampling method used sample selection. Each participating student had sign a patient's consent form, before samples taken using...

Trigonella foenum-graecum L. (TF) is known to the public as a chest emollient, mucous expectorant, laxative and used prevent maturation of boils diabetes since ancient times. In this study, we aimed determine amebicidal effects against Acanthamoeba cysts. Plant extracts were prepared at concentrations 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 mg/ml placed in hemocytometer with cell counts 22 × 106 cell/ml. The fatty acid profiles TF seeds determined. Standard cysts added incubated 25°C. viability parasite was...

Background: Demodex species are ectoparasites living in the hair follicles and sebaceous glands human. Only two species, folliculorum D. brevis were identified While is settling infundibular part of mostly, settles into ducts, which deeper. These parasites live preferentially on face glands, although they have also been reported to reside seborrheic parts human body. The highest rate has thesignificant number sebum production skin. However, infestation increases with age healthy Objectives:...

Pathogenic Acanthamoeba species often cause infection known as keratitis among people who use contact lenses. It is a type of that can result in corneal ulceration, visual loss or even blindness, if not treated. There are various therapeutic options available the treatment infections but they usually tough treatments with limited efficacy. For instance, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) commonly used lens disinfectant which effective against it toxic to cornea. these reasons, new and more efficacious...

Toxoplasmosis is generally asymptomatic in immunocompetent subjects, however serious manifestations of the disease may develop immunocompromised patients and pregnant women. The mean Toxoplasma gondii seroprevalence which approximately 40% Turkish population, indicates high risk for development acute toxoplasmosis those cases. One transmission ways T.gondii consumption contaminated water. aim this study was to detect presence environmental drinking water samples by using standard polymerase...

In the present study, volatile composition of Ulva rigida (U. rigida) was elucidated by two different methods. As a result identification process components using GC/MS-FID instrument, 31 compounds were identified hydrodistillation (HD) method, and 15 solid-phase microextraction (SPME) elucidating structure 99.86 % 92.65 %, respectively. The most abundant in essential oil U. n-hexadecanoic acid pentadecanal, while compound according to SPME analysis heptadecyne, hydrocarbon compound. next...
