Viruses, Vol. 13, Pages 440: Method Development for Enteric Virus Recovery from Primary Sludge
This study’s objective was to develop and evaluate enteric virus concentration protocols for high solids content samples. Two existing protocols were modified and tested using poliovirus type 1 (PV1) seeded into primary sludge. Method 1 (M1) utilized acid adsorption, followed by 2 or 3 elutions (glycine/sodium chloride and/or threonine/sodium chloride), and skimmed milk flocculation. Method 2 (M2) began with centrifugation. The liquid fraction was filtered through a ViroCap filter and eluted (beef extract/glycine). The solid fraction was eluted (beef extract/disodium hydrogen phosphate/citric acid) and concentrated by sk...

Treatment of cutaneous basal cell carcinoma with combined laser extirpation and methyl aminolevulinic acid: five-year success rates
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that CO2-assisted photodynamic therapy is non-inferior to excision but may offer better functional and cosmetic preservation at a fraction of the direct like for like cost of operative surgery. Investigation of this method by randomised controlled methodology is warranted.PMID:33557701 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2020.7020 (Source: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England)

In vitro and in vivo biological activities of azulene derivatives with potential applications in medicine
AbstractAzulene is an aromatic hydrocarbon that possesses a unique chemical structure and interesting biological properties. Azulene derivatives, including guaiazulene or chamazulene, occur in nature as components of many plants and mushrooms, such asMatricaria chamomilla,Artemisia absinthium,Achillea millefolium, andLactarius indigo. Due to physicochemical properties, azulene and its derivatives have found many potential applications in technology, especially in optoelectronic devices. In medicine, the ingredients of these plants have been widely used for hundreds of years in antiallergic, antibacterial, and anti-inflamma...

Molecules, Vol. 25, Pages 5482: Chemical Characterization and Antibacterial Activity of Essential Oil of Medicinal Plants from Eastern Serbia
The objective of this study was to evaluate wild growing Satureja kitaibelii, Thymus serpyllum, Origanum vulgare, Achillea millefolium and Achillea clypeolata with respect to their essential oil (EO) content, composition and antimicrobial activity. The five species were collected at Mt. Rtanj and the village of Sesalac, Eastern Serbia. The main EO constituents of Lamiaceae plants were p-cymene (24.4%), geraniol (63.4%) and germacrene D (21.5%) in Satureja kitaibelii, Thymus serpyllum and Origanum vulgare ssp. vulgare, respectively. A. millefolium EO had multiple constituents with major ones being camphor (9.8%), caryophyll...

Post-stroke object affordances: An EEG investigation.
Abstract
Rehabilitating upper limb function after stroke is a key therapeutic goal. In healthy brains, objects, especially tools, are said to cause automatic motoric 'affordances'; affecting our preparation to handle objects. For example, the N2 event-related potential has been shown to correlate with the functional properties of objects in healthy adults during passive viewing. We posited that such an affordance effect might also be observed in chronic-stage stroke survivors. With either dominant or non-dominant hand forward, we presented three kinds of stimuli in stereoscopic depth; grasp objects affordi...
