Abstract Purpose Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6), Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7 (IIQ-7) and The International Consultation on (ICIQ-SF) Short Form are used to diagnose individuals with urinary incontinence (UI) assess the impact of dysfunction patient quality life. While ICIQ-SF has fixed cutoff values—UDI-6 IIQ-7 do not. We aimed find scores for UDI-6 in women UI. Methods study involved 205 aged between 31 83 years—155 with, 50 without UI symptoms. All participants completed...

Analysis of pollen material obtained from the Hirst-type apparatus, which is a tedious and labor-intensive process, usually performed by hand under microscope specialists in palynology. This research evaluated automatic analysis based on digital microscopic photos. A deep neural network called YOLO was used to analyze images containing reference grains three taxa typical Central Eastern Europe. networks perform recognition detection; hence, there no need segment image before classification....

Of 105 rhizobial isolates obtained from nodules of commonly cultivated legumes, we selected 19 strains on the basis a high rate symbiotic plant growth promotion. Individual within species Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii , R. viciae and etli displayed variation not only in plasmid sizes numbers but also chromosomal 16S–23S internal transcribed spacer. The were tagged with gusA gene their competitiveness was examined relation to an indigenous population rhizobia under greenhouse...

Rhizobia are able to establish symbiosis with leguminous plants and usually occupy highly complex soil habitats. The large size complexity of their genomes considered advantageous, possibly enhancing metabolic adaptive potential and, in consequence, competitiveness. A population Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii organisms recovered from nodules several clover growing each other's vicinity the was examined regarding possible relationships between metabolic-physiological properties...

The present study investigated the pattern of birch atmospheric pollen seasons in Lublin period 2001-2010. Pollen monitoring was conducted using a Lanzoni VPPS 2000 sampler. were determined with 98% method. Regression analysis used to determine correlations between meteorological conditions and season. On average, season started on 12 April, ended 13 May, lasted 32 days. peak value Seasonal Index showed greatest variation particular years. All right-skewed. During years, trend found towards...

The effects of culture conditions on exopolysaccharides (EPS) production by a probiotic Lb. rhamnosus E/N have been studied using the Plackett-Burman design. Process optimization was performed in stationary cultures to maximize EPS. In order verify optimal conditions, an analysis EPS fermentation culture. Batch carried out at working volume 2.51. temperature, pH, carbon source, and nitrogen source were 37 degrees C, pH 5.0, galactose, yeast extract, respectively. improved 210.28 mg/l...

Response surface methodology was used to optimize media components such as carbon and nitrogen (simple complex) sources, mineral agents growth factors (B vitamins, amino acids) for enhancing the biomass production of Lactobacillus rhamnosus PEN. For screening experiment following sources were selected: glucose, glucose+pyruvate, glucose+citrate, glucose+lactate, galactose, fructose, lactose, sucrose, maltose, lactulose, fructooligosaccharides, maltodextrins DP 4-7 13-17. Nitrogen yeast...

Soil bacteria from the genus Rhizobium are characterized by a complex genomic architecture comprising chromosome and large plasmids. Genes responsible for symbiotic interactions with legumes usually located on one of plasmids, named plasmid (pSym). The plasmids have great impact not only metabolic potential rhizobia but also underlie genome rearrangements plasticity.Here, we analyzed distribution sequence variability markers chromosomes extrachromosomal replicons leguminosarum bv. trifolii...

Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii (Rlt) are soil bacteria inducing nodules on clover, where they fix nitrogen. Genome organization analyses of 22 Rlt clover nodule isolates showed that contained 3-6 plasmids and majority them possessed large (>1 Mb), chromid-like replicon with exception four strains. The Biolog phenotypic profiling comprising utilization C, N, P, S sources tolerance to osmolytes pH revealed metabolic versatility the Statistical our results a clear bias toward specific...

The risk of pollen-induced allergies can be determined and predicted based on data derived from pollen monitoring. Hirst-type samplers are sensors that allow airborne grains to detected their number determined. Airborne deposited adhesive-coated tape, slides then prepared, which require further analysis by specialized personnel. Deep learning used recognize taxa microscopic images. This paper presents a method for recognizing taxon images grains, allowing the monitoring process automated. In...

During the spring period, Betula pollen is main cause of inhalant allergies in Poland and therefore it important to monitor forecast airborne concentrations this taxon. This study conducted a comparative analysis basic characteristics seasons at regional scale. The was carried out from 2001 2016 five cities Poland: Lublin, Warsaw, Cracow, Sosnowiec, Szczecin. To find attributes birch that mostly differentiated individual cities, general discriminant (GDA) performed, while principal component...

The timings of Fraxinus and Betula flowering pollen release overlap, which may cause increased allergic reactions in sensitive people. aim the present study was to characterize seasons Lublin (central-eastern Poland) identify meteorological factors that most determine occurrence airborne this taxon, as well obtain forecast models for basic characteristics season.The conducted during period 2001-2016, employing volumetric method. were compared by PCA (Principal Component Analysis). To...

To elucidate the light-dependent gene expression in Cerrena unicolor FCL139, transcriptomes of fungus growing white, blue, green, and red lighting conditions darkness were analysed. Among 10,413 all-unigenes detected C. unicolor, 7762 found to be expressed all tested conditions. Transcripts encoding putative fungal photoreceptors transcriptome identified. The number transcripts uniquely produced by ranged from 20 during its growth 112 green We identified numerous genes whose differed...

Multivariate statistical analysis was used to select potential starter cultures produce fermented curly kale juice. The technological and functional properties of juices using 10 autochthonous lactic acid bacteria isolated from spontaneously were examined based on their capability fast acidification while maintaining high numbers viable cells, antioxidant activity, antimicrobial effects against Gram positive negative bacteria. outcome the these parameters as input data for a principal...

Abstract Introduction Oral and ocular dryness are the most common symptoms reported during ophthalmological dental examinations. It is becoming a serious growing problem due to huge variety of affecting factors with population aging. Objectives The purpose was demonstrate an application Schirmer test for xerostomia. Subsequently, compare correlate results achieved from lacrimal salivary in non-Sjögren patients. Methods Study group consisted 642 patients with/without subjective or/and...

Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to study the effects of various medium components on biomass production by Lactobacillus rhamnosus E/N.
