Interspecific small molecule interactions between clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus from adult cystic fibrosis patients.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are the most prevalent pathogens in airway infections of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients.We studied how these pathogens coexist and interact with each other.Clinical isolates of both species were retrieved from adult CF patients.Culture supernatants from 63 P.aeruginosa isolates triggered a wide range
Physical Activity Induces Nucleus Accumbens Genes Expression Changes Preventing Chronic Pain Susceptibility Promoted by High-Fat Diet and Sedentary Behavior in Mice
Recent findings from rodent studies suggest that high-fat diet (HFD) increases hyperalgesia independent of obesity status.Furthermore, weight loss interventions such as voluntary physical activity (PA) for adults with obesity or overweight was reported to promote pain reduction in humans with chronic pain.However, regardless of obesity status, it i
Rainfall Erosion Damage of Residual Soil Slope in Intermittently Frozen Area Based on Discrete Element Method
This study developed a discrete element simulation model based on the 2D particle flow code (PFC2D), of which the mesoscopic parameters were calibrated by the indoor experiments, to investigate the rainfall erosion damage of residual soil slope in the intermittently frozen area.It is to be noted that the runoff scouring action was simulated accordi
