ANIMAL PRODUCTS, DISEASES AND DRUGS: A PLEA FOR BETTER INTEGRATION BETWEEN AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, HUMAN NUTRITION AND HUMAN PHARMACOLOGY

Animal products, diseases and drugs: a plea for better integration between agricultural sciences, human nutrition and human pharmacology

Abstract Eicosanoids are major players in the pathogenesis of several common diseases, with either overproduction or imbalance (e.g.between Handles/Braces thromboxanes and prostacyclins) often leading to worsening of disease symptoms.Both the total rate of eicosanoid production and the balance between eicosanoids with opposite effects are strongly

Four temporin-derived peptides exhibit antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Temporin-GHa (GHa) was cloned from Hylarana guentheri, showing a weak antimicrobial activity.In order to improve its bactericidal efficacy, GHaR6R, GHaR7R, GHaR8R and GHaR9W were designed and synthesized.Compared to the parent peptide, the GHa-derived peptides show potent antimicrobial activities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Households with unimproved water sources in Ethiopia: spatial variation and point-of-use treatment based on 2016 Demographic and Health Survey

Abstract Background Improved water sources are not equally available in all geographical regions.Populations dependent on unsafe water sources are recommended to treat their water at point-of-use using adequate methods to reduce associated health problems.In Ethiopia, the spatial distribution of households using unimproved water sources have been i
