Manuka honey is known for its unique antibacterial activity, which is due to methylglyoxal (MGO).After establishing BLACK PEPPER a suitable assay for measuring the bacteriostatic effect in a liquid culture with a time dependent and continuous measurement of the optical density, we were able to show that honey differs in its growth retardingeffect o
The following article presents a series of hypotheses to analyze the possible transitions between protest and civil war and their relation to inequality.To do so, the article presents an analysis on the emergence of protests and its relation with the increase in inequality across the world.This increase in inequality can in fact lead to social unre
Statins inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis, and are the cornerstone of lipid-lowering treatment.They significantly reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.However, musculoskeletal symptoms are observed in 7 to 29 percent of all users.The mechanism underlying these complaints has become increasingly cl
Neural networks with memristors are promising candidates to overcome the limitations of traditional von Neumann machines via the implementation of novel analog and parallel computation schemes based on the in-memory computing principle.Of special importance are neural networks with generic or extended memristor models that are suited to accurately
Objective: Oligohydramnios is associated with increased perinatal morbidity and mortality.It may be due to a variety of conditions, including rupture of membranes, fetal urinary tract abnormalities such as megacystis caused by posterior urethral valve, and prerenal abnormalities involving uteroplacental insufficiency possibly due to hypertension, a
