Newest firstEndochitinase Chit33 has shown great potential in converting chitin, a recalcitrant waste, into bioactive chitooligosaccharides (COS). This study evaluates how cellulose-binding domain (CBD) and chitin-binding domain (ChBD) affect the hydrolytic activity and product specificity of Chit33. Recombinant proteins were produced and isolated with a simple yeast extracellular medium concentration. The domain functionalit…
Open article record in new tab ↗IntroductionThe prevalence of epilepsy in sub-Saharan Africa varies considerably, and the exact estimate in Ghana is unknown, with few data available from peri-urban areas. More community-based studies are required to understand the tangible burden of epilepsy in these areas and the difficulties in healthcare access. ObjectiveTo validate a household survey epilepsy-screening instrument in Shai-Osudoku and Ningo-Pr…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Atypical parkinsonism (AP) often presents with Parkinson's symptoms but has a much worse long-term prognosis. The diagnosis is presently based on clinical criteria, but a cerebral positron emission tomography (PET) scan with [18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-2-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) may assist in the diagnosis of AP such as multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration (…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundSolid pancreatic lesions are crucial to identify because of their high incidence rate and their poor survival rate. Surgical biopsy, ultrasonography, computed tomography, MRI, and PET-CT are examples of diagnostic tools. Although common, endoscopic ultrasonography guided biopsy carries a risk of needle track seeding. A more effective and affordable method for determining the differential diagnosis of sol…
BackgroundClinicians and people of reproductive age would benefit from a reliable way to identify who is, or is not, likely to become pregnant in the next year, to direct health advice. The 14-item Desire to Avoid Pregnancy (DAP) Scale is predictive of pregnancy; this paper compares it with other ways of assessing pregnancy preferences to shortlist options for clinical implementation. MethodsA cohort of 994 UK wom…
Open article record in new tab ↗The objective of this observational study was to assess the validity of the new dengue classification proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2009 and to develop pragmatic guidelines for case triage and management. This retrospective study involved 357 laboratory-confirmed cases of dengue infection diagnosed at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia over a 4-year period from 2014 to 20…
