Advances in Medicine & Biology: Volume 125

In Chapter One, Olga Chub, MD, Ph.D., and Professor Oleksandr V Bilchenko, MD present a study exploring the occurrence of plasmid-mediated resistance genes in gram-negative uropathogens. Next, Chapter Two by Daniela Baconi, Miriana Stan, and Ana Maria Vlasceanu reviews recent knowledge on hallucinogenic drugs. In Chapter Three, recent advances in ultrasound imaging are presented. Following this, Chapter Four by Jinhua Dong, Ph.D., and Hiroshi Ueda, Ph.D. provides an overview on the modern applications of open sandwich immunoassay detection systems. Khaled Habas, Martin H. Brinkworth, and Diana Anderson review the impact of nonsteroidal oestrogen diethylstilbestrol on genetic reliability of male germ cells in Chapter Five. In Chapter Six, Petr Slama and Chaivat Kittigul discuss the effect of Staphylococcus aureus infections on leukocytes of bovine mammary gland.

Chapter Eight by Seiji Kojima, Tomonobu Kusanom and Yoshiyuki Kamio elaborates on biosynthesis and the function of peptidoglycan-linked cadaverine. Afterwards, Letícia Petersen Schmidt Rosito, MD, Ph.D., Sady Selaimen da Costa, MD, Ph.D., and Daniela Pernigotti DallIgna, MD present research on the pathogenesis of middle ear cholesteatoma to discern potential future treatment methods in Chapter Nine. Finally, Chapter Ten by Natsuko Kakudo, Naoki Morimoto, Takeshi Ogawa, Fangyuan Lai, Masakatsu Hihara, and Kenji Kusumoto examines the in vitro proliferative capacity of adipose-derived stem cells in order to promote the development of culture methodologies.
