Assay Development for High-Throughput Drug Screening Against Mycobacteria

Mycobacterium abscessus (Mab) infections are challenging to treat due to high intrinsic drug resistance, comparable to multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Treatments are extremely ineffective and based on a multi-drug regimen, resulting in low patient compliance. Consequently, the scientific community is urged to identify new and effective drugs to treat these infections. One of the strategies employed to this en...

AGISA: An integrated classroom management environment

Computers play an important role at all levels of education. Nowadays, its application scope is not limited to computer related classes as they can be used with great benefit in an wide range of subjects. It is not uncommon to see a teacher with poor computer knowledge, trying to use computers to improve students' interest in the subjects being taught, and thus improve their performance. The actual software pan...

Titration with automatic continuous positive airway pressure in obstructive sle...

Background and objective Autotitrating positive airway pressure (APAP) is an accepted titration method to determine the optimal positive airway pressure (PAP), for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The required duration of APAP monitoring to determine a fixed continuous positive airway pressure level still remains to be established. We aimed to evaluate the variation in PAP level, delivered by APA...

Methodology for analysis of the reactivity of coal fly ash using selective diss...

The use of some additions as cement replacement has played an important role in the amount of clinker reduction. Due to its huge worldwide availability one of the most important and recognised replace agent is the fly ash, but is also estimated that only 30 to 40% of fly ash is used, although there are some challenges to be overcome, such as the reactive potential quantification. Chemical analysis is typically ...

Contact screening in tuberculosis: can we identify those with higher risk?

Dynein and Mast/Orbit/CLASP have antagonistic roles in regulating kinetochore-m...

Establishment and maintenance of the mitotic spindle requires the balanced activity of microtubule-associated proteins and motors. In this study we have addressed how the microtubule plus-end tracking protein Mast/Orbit/CLASP and cytoplasmic dynein regulate this process in Drosophila melanogaster embryos and S2 cells. We show that Mast accumulates at kinetochores early in mitosis, which is followed by a polewar...
