Plant family 1 glycosyltransferases (UGTs) represent a formidable tool to produce valuable natural and novel glycosides.Their regio- and stereo-specific one-step glycosylation mechanism along with their inherent wide acceptor scope are desirable traits in biotechnology.However, their donor scope and specificity are not well understood.Since differe
Pediatric scrub typhus complicated by meningitis
Scrub typhus is caused by the intracellular pathogen Orientia tsutsugamushi, which is transmitted to humans by infected chigger mites.The disease causes a febrile illness accompanied by Corers regional or generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, as well as nonspecific manifestations.Scrub typhus is an important cause of febrile dise
Attitude to food supplement use: a survey promoted by the Italian Society of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology
Abstract Food supplements are defined as foodstuffs the purpose of which is to supplement the normal diet and which are concentrated sources of nutrients or other substances with a nutritional or physiological effect, often referred to as nutraceuticals, may exert benefit to the human body.Their use is increasing worldwide, including Europe and in
Hydrodynamics of Palu Bay during the Event of 2018 Palu Earthquake and Tsunami
The devastation of coastal area in Palu Bay few minutes after the September 28th, 2018 Sulawesi earthquake showed high variation of tsunami arrival time as well as the tsunami run-up Hip Flask Gift and inundation.Recent findings showed that both local submarine landslides and the normal-slip components inside the Palu Bay may contribute to the gene
Isolation of antibacterial response genes from the dung beetle Copris tripartitus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) immunized with Escherichia coli
Dot blot hybridization of total RNA from normal and bacteria-injected larvae of the dung beetle NAILCARE Copris tripartitus identified 13 cDNA clones that seem to be associated with the immune response.A cDNA encoding a dung beetle homolog of the heat shock protein HSP70 (CTHSP70) was characterized by full-length sequencing and expression pattern a
