CAPILLARY ELECTROPHORETIC ANALYSIS OF EXHALED BREATH CONDENSATE IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE

Capillary Electrophoretic Analysis of Exhaled Breath Condensate in the Diagnosis of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

In this work, capillary electrophoresis with contactless conductometric detection (CCD) was used for the analysis of the ionic content of exhaled Goal Neck breath condensate (EBC) to differentiate between healthy individuals and patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).The exhaled breath condensate was collected using a miniature sample

Comparison of Antibiofilm Activity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Phages on Isolates from Wounds of Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Patients

The persistence of organisms as biofilms and the increase in antimicrobial resistance has raised the need for alternative strategies.The study objective was to compare the ability of isolated bacteriophages to remove in vitro biofilms formed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from the environment with those isolated from diabetic and non-diabetic w

Overproduction of the cyanobacterial hydrogenase and selection of a mutant thriving on urea, as a possible step towards the future production of hydrogen coupled with water treatment.

Using a combination of various types of genetic manipulations (promoter replacement and gene cloning in replicating plasmid expression vector), we have overproduced the complex hydrogenase enzyme in the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC6803.This new strain overproduces all twelve following proteins: HoxEFUYH (hydrogen production), HoxW (matura
