In Brief Block of the sciatic nerve at midfemoral level is usually performed using stimulation techniques. We investigated efficacy ultrasound, combined with stimulation, to locate and block lateral compared alone. Sixty-one patients scheduled for foot ankle surgery were enrolled in this prospective, randomized study. Thirty underwent a guided by ultrasound (group US) 31 received without ES). Once an adequate motor response was obtained 35 mL ropivacaine 0.5% administered. The main...
The genus Komagataeibacter harbours bacteria presenting the ability to produce increased levels of crystalline nanocellulose, as well strains used in industrial production fermented products and beverages. Still, most studies this biotechnologically relevant were conducted based on limited phenotypic methodologies taxonomical classifications. In work, a detailed analysis currently described was phylogenomic analysis, unveiling relationships within allowing phylogenetic important genes such...
ABSTRACT The hemolytic ability, the presence of cyl genes, and diagnostic accuracy cytolysin molecular detection were investigated in genus Enterococcus by using 164 strains from 20 different species (26 reference strains, 42 clinical isolates human veterinary origin, 96 ewe cheese milk). Hemolysis was assayed with sheep horse erythrocytes under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. Screening genes ( cylL L , S cylM cylB cylA ) performed new specific primers assay beta-hemolysis used as “gold...
DNA metabarcoding provides great potential for species identification in complex samples such as food supplements and traditional medicines. Such a method would aid Convention on International Trade Endangered Species of Wild Fauna Flora (CITES) enforcement officers to combat wildlife crime by preventing illegal trade endangered plant animal species. The objective this research was develop multi-locus forensic evaluate the applicability reproducibility approach across different laboratories....
Microalgae are important members of the soil and plant microbiomes, playing key roles in maintenance health as well promotion growth. However, not much is understood regarding potential different microalgae strains augmenting growth, or mechanisms involved such activities. In this work, functional genomic characterization strain NFX-FRZ, a eukaryotic microalga belonging to Micractinium genus that was isolated from rhizosphere growing natural environment Portugal, presented analyzed. The...
Ibuprofen (IBU) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that becoming increasingly recognized as an important micropollutant to be monitored in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), since it has been detected effluents at the µg L−1 level. The IBU metabolites from biological degradation are not completely understood and can represent threat natural aquatic systems. P. medicamentivorans was previously isolated WWTP sludge found capable of degradation. aerobic biodegradation ibuprofen by this...
Hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DESs), a recent class of green solvents, offer 100% atom economy, low cost, potential biodegradability, negligible toxicity and promising bioactivities. In this work, novel aroma-based therapeutic hydrophobic DESs were prepared dispersed in aqueous media as nanoemulsions to potentiate biomedical applications, where polar is encountered. A reusable microengineered stainless-steel isoporous membrane was fabricated by laser drilling technique. Three DESs,...
