Criteria to facilitate the implementation of woman-centred care in childbirth units of Limpopo Province, South Africa (Part 2)
(OASIS OpenJournals, 2013)
Background: Facilitation of mutual participation, respectful and egalitarian relationship between the mother and the midwife during childbirth is a critical aspect. This article delineated the criteria that would facilitate ...
Cardioprotective and anti-hypertensive effects of Prosopis glandulosa in rat models of pre-diabetes
(Clinics Cardive Publishing, 2013)
AIM: Obesity and type 2 diabetes present with two debilitating complications, namely, hypertension and heart disease. The dried and ground pods of Prosopis glandulosa (commonly known as the Honey mesquite tree) which is ...
Understanding human coronavirus HCoV-NL63
(Bentham Science, 2010)
Even though coronavirus infection of humans is not normally associated with severe diseases, the identification
of the coronavirus responsible for the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome showed that highly ...
Expression, purification and preliminary crystallographic analysis of recombinant human DEAD-box polypeptide 5
(International Union of Crystallography, 2010)
The DEAD-box RNA helicase DDX5 is involved in many aspects of RNA
processing and has been implicated in a number of cellular processes involving
alteration of RNA secondary structure. The N-terminal region of DDX5, ...
Oral colonization of Gram-negative anaerobes as a risk factor for preterm birth
(Landes Bioscience, 2011)
Preterm birth significantly impacts on neonatal
morbidity and mortality and is apparently increasing worldwide.
Several studies have attempted to define a causative role
for periodontal disease in adverse pregnancy ...
Examination of maternal gingival crevicular fluid for the presence of selected periodontopathogens implicated in the pre-term delivery of low birthweight infants
(Landes Bioscience, 2010)
Background: Reports show that more than 20 million infants world-wide are born prematurely with 95% of all pre-term
births occurring in developing countries. Oral colonization of Gram-negative anaerobes has been implicated ...
Multi-drug resistant (MDR) oral Candida species isolated from HIV-positive patients in South Africa and Cameroon
(Elsevier, 2014)
Candida species are a common cause of infection in immune-compromised HIV-positive individuals, who are usually treated with the antifungal drug, fluconazole in public hospitals in Africa. However, information about the ...
Human coronavirus NL63 open reading frame 3 encodes a virion-incorporated N-glycosylated membrane protein
(BioMed Central, 2010)
Background: Human pathogenic coronavirus NL63 (hCoV-NL63) is a group 1 (alpha) coronavirus commonly
associated with respiratory tract infections. In addition to known non-structural and structural proteins all
coronaviruses ...
The role of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)-Coronavirus Accessory Proteins in Virus Pathogenesis
(MDPI, 2012)
A respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus, termed the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), was first reported in China in late 2002. The subsequent efficient human-to-human transmission of ...
The variable N-terminal region of DDX5 contains structural elements and auto-inhibits its interaction with NS5B of hepatitis C virus
(Portland Press, 2012)
RNA helicases of the DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp)-box family of
proteins are involved in many aspects of RNA metabolism from
transcription to RNA decay, but most of them have also been
shown to be multifunctional. The DEAD-box ...
