The unique chemistry of oxygen has been both a resource and threat for life on Earth at least the last 2.4 billion years. Reduction to water allows extraction more metabolic energy from organic fuels than is possible through anaerobic glycolysis. On other hand, partially reduced can react indiscriminately with biomolecules cause genetic damage, disease, even death. Organisms in all three superkingdoms have developed elaborate mechanisms protect against such oxidative damage exploit reactive...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a considerable burden to health care systems, with the public community largely in consensus that AMR will be major cause of death worldwide coming decades. Humans carry antibiotic microbes live and on us, collectively known as human microbiome.
ABSTRACT: Selenium (Se) is essential for sperm function and male fertility, but high Se intake has been associated with impaired semen quality. We reported previously a decrease in motility men fed high‐Se foods, we could not rule out the influence of other environmental dietary factors. now report on randomized, controlled study potential adverse effects supplementation quality 42 free‐living administered (300 μg/d) as yeast 48 weeks. Semen analysis was performed 4 times before treatment...
Higher diet quality has been associated with lower risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease, but associations between and gastrointestinal (GI) inflammation in healthy adults prior to disease onset are understudied. The purpose this project was examine reported dietary intake markers GI a human adult cohort. In cross-sectional observational trial 358 adults, participants completed up 3 unannounced 24-hour (24h) recalls using the Automated Self-Administered Dietary Assessment Tool® Block...
Shoulder and neck dysfunctions resulting from spinal accessory nerve injury impair quality of life. This study aims to investigate the effects manual therapy in combination with standard physiotherapy on mechanical properties muscle, shoulder function, pain, life head cancer patients. Prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial. Department Otorhinolaryngology Head Neck Surgery a university hospital. A total 26 participants were randomized into two groups. The control...
Abstract Background Idiopathic chronic diarrhea (ICD) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality among juvenile rhesus macaques. Characterized by inflammation the colon repeated bouts diarrhea, ICD largely unresponsive to medical interventions, including corticosteroid, antiparasitic, antibiotic treatments. Although accompanied large disruptions in composition commensal gut microbiome, no single pathogen has been concretely identified as responsible for onset continuation disease. Results...
ABSTRACT. Leishman ia isolates from 57 cases of human cutaneous (CL), visceral (VL), and canine (CVL) leishmaniasis in Turkey were grouped by multi‐site DNA polymorphism analyses into five genotypes. The initial grouping was based on heterogeneity the faster‐evolving mitochondrion (kinetoplast) minicircles intergenic regions two nuclear repetitive genes. Taxonomic affiliation phylogenetic relationships genotypes inferred comparing them with reference species for sequence a ∼1.4 kb conserved...
Objective To describe the frequency of sulcus vocalis in a population and to establish its histopathological properties. Study Design A cadaver study. Setting Istanbul Training Research Hospital Ministry Justice National Forensic Institute. Subjects Methods One hundred (21 women, 79 men) fresh larynges were examined. Two vocal folds coronally sectioned examined by light microscopy. Sulcus types, depths, degree fibrosis Reinke space, basement membrane thickness, perisulcus degeneration...
The anticancer activity of selenium (Se) has been demonstrated in myriad animal and vitro studies, yet the mechanisms remain obscure. main form Se tissues is selenocysteine selenoproteins, but relative importance selenoproteins versus smaller compounds cancer protection unresolved. Selenoprotein W (SEPW1) a highly conserved protein ubiquitously expressed animals, bacteria, archaea. SEPW1 depletion causes delay cell cycle progression at G1/S transition breast prostate epithelial cells. Tumor...
Polyphenols are dietary bioactive compounds, many of which have anti-inflammatory properties. However, information on the intake polyphenols at class and compound levels their associations with gastrointestinal (GI) systemic inflammation is lacking. Estimate polyphenol in healthy adults examine its relationship GI markers. Healthy (n = 350) completed United States Department Agriculture Nutritional Phenotyping Study, an observational, cross-sectional study balanced for age, sex, body mass...
BACKGROUND: Scapular muscle endurance and core reportedly influence shoulder injury risk. The exact relationship between scapular endurance, how they impact one another in the healthy subjects remain unclear. O
Objective The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical properties septal cartilage (SC) and costal (CC) grafts harvested from different ribs find at which level CC has characteristics closest SC. Study Design Experimental cadaver study. Setting Istanbul Training Research Hospital. Material Method Cartilage were 6th, 7th, 8th SC 10 fresh cadavers. Shaped subjected a bending test. Results measured, force‐deflection curve plotted. Flexural strength (σ f ) flexural modulus elasticity...
To determine the biomechanical characteristics of septal cartilage (SC) and costal (CC) taken from fresh cadavers using tensile testing to establish CC graft material a suitable thickness (ie, with closest those SC).Grafts varying were harvested central part seventh-rib SC 18 cadavers. Tensile was performed 0.5-kilonewton load calibrated at 7 mm/min. The results shown as force-elongation curve.No significant difference according force observed between group 1.0-mm 1.5-mm groups (P = .09 P...
