Background: Cystinuria is an inborn error of metabolism that manifests with renal stones due to defective renal epithelial cell transport of cystine which resulted from pathogenic variants in the SLC3A1 and/or SLC7A9 genes.Among nephrolithiasis diseases, cystinuria is potentially treatable, and further stone formation may be preventable.We report 2
Globally, rotavirus group A (RVA) remains a major cause of severe childhood diarrhea, despite the use of vaccines in more than 100 countries.RVA sequencing for local outbreaks facilitates Cuticle Creams And Oils investigation into strain composition, origins, spread, and vaccine failure.In 2018, we collected 248 stool samples from children aged les
Beta-defensins consist in a group of cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), widely found throughout vertebrate species, including teleost fish, with antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activities.However, although the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) is one of the most commercially important farmed fish species in the Mediterranean are
The clearing factor lipase (lipoprotein lipase) activities of homogenates of fresh tissue and of acetone-ether powders have been compared in hearts from fed and starved rats.The activity of the enzyme measured in homogenates of acetone-ether powders is generally higher than that in homogenates of the fresh tissue.Activation is due to an effect of t
ABSTRACT For more than a century, diabetic patients have been considered immunosuppressed due to defects in phagocytosis and microbial killing.We confirmed that diabetic mice were hypersusceptible to bacteremia caused by Gram-negative bacteria (GNB), dying at inocula nonlethal to nondiabetic mice.Contrary to the pervasive paradigm that diabetes imp
