Here, we report the complete genome sequence of the AK-0 strain, which has a 3,969,429 bp circular chromosome with 3808 genes and a G+C content of 46.5%. The genome sequence of AK-0 provides a greater understanding of the Bacillus species, which displays biocontrol activity via secondary metabolites. The genome has eight potential secondary…[Read more]

Wearable electronics are becoming increasingly important for medical applications as they have revolutionized the way physiological parameters are monitored. Ferroelectric materials show spontaneous polarization below the Curie temperature, which changes with electric field, temperature, and mechanical deformation. Therefore, they have been widely…[Read more]

Bariatric medical tourism (BMT) is a rapidly expanding industry, with over 650 million people with obesity worldwide and total number rising by over 300% between 2003 and 2014. The overall health tourism industry is worth over $400 billion/year.

International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) conducted a…[Read more]

Urmia Lake is the largest lake in the Middle East which has greatly decreased in recent years. It has had a great impact on the environmental properties of areas around the lake. This study aimed to identify the relationship among dust storms in the eastern part of Urmia Lake and the surrounding vegetation due to the annual and long-term…[Read more]

001), AMD diagnosis (p = 0.005), VF-14 (p < 0.001), and LHS (p < 0.001). The new AMD classification was a good predictor of visual HRQoL and had an excellent association with visual acuity in the best eye.

This article shows that visual impairment is associated with lower HRQoL and with an increased handicap. It also suggests that a visu…[Read more]

Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) inhalation is one of the industrial accidents. It causes serious damage, although it is quickly recognized. Since hydrofluoric acid leaks are under surveillance by the alarm system, and low concentrations of gas also have a distinctive smell, most accidents occur from exposure in a short period to a large amount of HF. Thus,…[Read more]

Protein content, carotenoid, and cell viability decreased during high antibiotic concentrations (more than 20 to 30 mg L-1). This study revealed that the use of Chaetoceros muelleri is an appealing solution to remove certain antibiotics from wastewater.

Crohn’s disease (CD) is characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract…[Read more]
