Background: The use of Lactobacillus probiotics may confer beneficial effects on an individual’s health, such as the ability to act against fungi of the genus Candida. There are about 200 species of those yeasts, and they can develop candidiasis infections, which affect about 75% of adult women. Objective: This study aimed to raise articles that investigated the potential action of several Lactobacillus strains in front of Candida spec Read More

Different compounds with bioactive constituents can be applied as biostimulants to increase plant growth and development under both normal and stressful conditions. Biostimulant utilization can be considered a sustainable and beneficial nutritional crop management, and may decrease the negative impacts of excessive chemical fertilization.

Background: Levothyroxine Sodium is a thyroid hormone replacement therapy for Hypothyroidism. Levothyroxine Sodium is approved to treat Hypothyroidisim, to suppress thyroid hormone release from cancerous thyroid nodules, and to prevent the growth of goiters. In addition, it is also used to treat conditions such as myxedema, cretinism, and obesity. Objective: This assessment highlights the overview of the recent pat Read More

Despite an ever-increasing need for newer, safer, more effective, and more affordable therapies to treat a multitude of diseases and conditions, drug development takes too long, costs too much, and is too uncertain to be undertaken without the conferment of exclusionary rights or entry barriers to motivate and sustain investment in it. These entry barriers take the form of patents that protect intellectual property and ma Read More

Background: As global awareness regarding climate change and environmental pollution outcomes arise, eco-friendly and negative emission technologies emerge. Methods: In this scenario, polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-accumulating microorganisms play an important role in the transition from the petrochemical-based non-biodegradable polymer to renewable, eco-friendly, and biocompatible materials. More specifically, C Read More

Background: Artemia is considered an indispensable live food for rearing many fish and crustacean larvae and can be used in toxicity tests as a safe, practical, and economical method. It is straightforward to create and manipulate; however, many cysts do not hatch as expected. Methods: A new device was used to hatch Artemia salina. The device includes a tubularshaped reservoir, lid with a central hole, heater with a therm Read More
