Speech Profile of Myasthenia Gravis: Case Study
Abstract: Complex coordination in muscles of articulation was supported by number of separate neural events which is large and with an amazing degree of neural integration in motor system [1]. If any point along the pathway from the cerebrum to the muscle gets damage, then the motor system which controls the speech production may be spotted [1]. Difficulty in controlling the muscles responsible for speech is called Dysarthria. Mixed dysarthria, is …

Characterization of Laccase Enzyme from Dye Degrading Bacterial Strains Isolated from Natural Sources
Abstract: The continuous growth in globalization and industrialization has increased the environmental pollution and one such major contaminant is various types of synthetic dyes. Microbial decolorization and degradation of these dyes through secretion of various extracellular enzymes is gaining importance owing to their eco-friendly nature. One such enzyme is laccase, a multicopper oxidase enzyme which has the ability to oxidize both phenolic and non-phenolic compounds through reduction of molecular oxygen to …

Evaluation of Cholesterol Reduction in Probiotic Strain Lactobacillus brevis isolated from Human Fecal Sample by Using Surface Response Methodology
Abstract: Lactobacillus brevis, isolated from human feces was assessed for its in vitro cholesterol reduction ability. The effects of bile salts, inoculum size and contact time in simulated intestinal juice were studied. Central composite design model was utilised to determine the effects of interactions of significant variables on cholesterol reduction. By developing a linear regression model, as a function of growth associated variables in vitro cholesterol reduction was assessed. The results …
