Δύο Ολλανδοί φοιτητές έχουν αναπτύξει μια μέθοδο μετατροπής των απούλητων πεταμένων φρούτων και λαχανικών σε "φρούτο- δέρμα". Ένα τεχνητό οικολογικό δέρμα το οποίο μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί για την κατασκευή όλων των δερμάτινων προϊόντων, από τσάντες έως έπιπλα, και έχει την ίδια ποιότητα με το ζωικό δέρμα.Η ιδέα ξεκίνησε το 2015 όταν συνειδητοποίησαν την σπατάλη των φυσικών πόρων που αντίκρισαν στην πόλη τους με τα απούλητα φρούτα και λαχανικά που πεταγόντουσαν καθημερινά στις υπαίθριες αγορές και στα...

Early research on orthologous protein sequence comparisons by Margoliash in 1963 discovered the astonishing phenomenon of genetic equidistance, which has inspired the ad hoc interpretation known as the molecular clock. Kimura then developed the neutral theory and claimed the molecular clock as its best evidence. However, subsequent studies over the years have largely invalidated the universal molecular clock. Yet, a watered down version of the molecular clock and the neutral theory still reigns as...

AbstractLittle is known about the effect of human migration on gut microbiome antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) carriage. Using deep shotgun stool metagenomics analysis, we found a rapid increase in gut microbiome ARG richness and abundance in women from two independent ethnic groups relocating from Thailand to the United States.

AbstractBackgroundDetectable serum or plasma cryptococcal antigen (CrAg) precedes symptomatic cryptococcal meningitis. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends CrAg screening for HIV infected people with CD4<100 cells/mcL initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, an increasing proportion of cryptococcosis patients are now ART-experienced. Whether CrAg screening is cost-effective in those with virologic failure is unknown.MethodsWe retrospectively performed nationwide plasma CrAg...

Objectives: The diagnosis of superior canal dehiscence (SCD) is challenging and audiograms play an important role in raising clinical suspicion of SCD. The typical audiometric finding in SCD is the combination of increased air conduction (AC) thresholds and decreased bone conduction thresholds at low frequencies. However, this pattern is not always apparent in audiograms of patients with SCD, and some have hearing thresholds that are within the normal reference range despite subjective reports...

Objectives: Aim was to investigate the innovative method of direct acoustic bone conduction (BC) stimulation applied directly to the otic capsule and measured intraoperatively by promontory displacement in living humans. The objective was to find the best stimulation site that provides the greatest transmission of vibratory energy in a living human and compare it with the results previously obtained in cadavers. Design: The measurements were performed in 4 adult patients referred to our department...

Little is known about the physiological properties of these crossed reflexes. In this study, we sought the properties of crossed SCM responses and through comparison with other cochlear and vestibular myogenic potentials, their likely receptor origin.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to measure the effects of level and vowel contrast on the latencies and amplitudes of acoustic change complex (ACC) in the mature auditory system. This was done to establish how the ACC in healthy young adults is affected by these stimulus parameters that could then be used to inform translation of the ACC into a clinical measure for the pediatric population. Another aim was to demonstrate that a normalized amplitude metric, calculated by dividing...

Bacteria need to deliver large molecules out of the cytosol to the extracellular space or even across membranes of neighboring cells to influence their environment, prevent predation, defeat competitors, or communicate. A variety of protein-secretion systems have evolved to make this process highly regulated and efficient. The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is one of the largest dynamic assemblies in gram-negative bacteria and allows for delivery of toxins into both bacterial and eukaryotic cells....
