Background: Gram-negative Salmonella typhi, a bacterium that causes intestinal diseases, including typhoid fever, as a consequence of ingesting foods and drinks contaminated by this bacterium. Salmonella typhi uses various virulence factors like, cilia and filaments and fibers that are used in th...

Nootropics often known as smart medicines, brain boosters, neuro-stimulants, behavioral stimulators, and intellect enhancers, are medications, nutrients, nutraceuticals, and food supplements that supposedly boost brain abilities like intellect, memory, intelligence, enthusiasm, focus, and concent...

The date palm, Phoenix dactyl lifera is an important fruit crop of the tropics and subtropics. Date palm propagation is offshoot dependent, which needs several environmental factors resemble the natural conditions for achieving successful establishment and long-term productivity. Fertilization is...

The highest degree of fear—dentophobia—can develop in childhood and persist throughout life. Emotional stress experienced during a dental visit leads to changes in physiological and biochemical processes in the body, which may result in psychovegetative disorders such as tachycardia, arterial hyp...
