Comparison of Horizontal blaCTX-M Gene Transfer via Conjugation among Extended Spectrum β-Lactamases Producing Escherichia coli Isolates from Patients with Urinary Tract Infection, Their Animals and Environment

The dissemination of the extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) producing E. coli poses a significant public health problem. Understanding the efficiency and frequency of horizontal gene transfer via conjugation of ESBL producing E. coli is imperative towards devising prevention and control measures. This study compared the frequencies and efficiencies of horizontal blaCTX-M gene transfer via conjugation among Escherichia coli isolates from urine and gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of patients with urinary tract infection (UTI), their animals and environment.

Allelic Variants on SLC6A3 Neurotransmitter Gene and Their Relationship with Personality Traits Scales in Egyptian Athletes

Ayman S. EL-Seedy, Mariam H. Botros, Guylène Page, Veronique Ladeveze

Human dopamine transporter gene (SLC6A3) is one of the neurotransmission genes that plays an important role in controlling the behavior and psychological reactions toward various physical activities. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the associations between SLC6A3 3’-UTR VNTR (3’VNTR) genotypes and eight personality traits in Egyptian athletes. One hundred athletes (50 males and 50 females) and one hundred non-athletes participated in this investigation either in individual or team games.

The Risk Factors Associated with the Incidence of Genital Warts in Iran

Sara Talebipour Nikoo, Ali Lotfi

Objective: Prevention of sexually transmitted diseases is an essential factor in managing diseases in the human population and increasing individuals’ and society’s health levels. Thus to increase our insufficient knowledge about proper prevention methods, we performed this study to assess the risk factors of the incidence of genital warts (GW).

Bioconjugation of AuNPs with HPV 16/18 E6 Antibody through Physical Adsorption Technique

HPV 16/18 E6 oncoprotein has been evaluated as a useful biomarker with prognostic abilities as it can detect pre-cancer and cancerous states of cervical cancer progression. A positive E6 assay indicates a high correlation to the cervical cancerous phenotype, not the potential for cervical cancer, thus high specificity in triaging patients during screening. E6 levels of expression associate directly with the severity of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) lesions and the risk of

In the Mind of the US Olympic Athletes; Longevity Advantage and Its Relation to Nervous System Disorders and Mental Illness

In a recent study of 8124 US Olympic athletes, Antero et al. [1] found that the US Olympic athletes live 5 years longer than their general counterparts.

Coronary Artery Disease in Athletes-Insights from Cardiac CT

Exercise is widely recognized for its cardiovascular benefits, including reduced mortality and a lower risk of cardiovascular events. However, recent studies suggest that athletes may exhibit a paradoxical increase in coronary artery calcium (CAC) and high-risk plaque morphology. Additionally, there is considerable conflicting evidence and numerous gaps in current research on this topic. With the growing population of athletes, particularly “Master Athletes’, understanding the implications of coronary atherosclerosis in this group is increasingly important.
