Prolonged exposure to low doses can cause several pathologies including nephropathies, cancers, liver damage, hemorrhagic syndromes, and immunological and neurological disorders. Material, Methods and Results: In this work, the contamination of Moroccan foodstuffs with mycotoxins was studied. A total of 22 samples: 13 samples of spices, 7 samples of coffee, 1 sample of tea and 1 sample of chocolate, were purchased from different popular markets of Rabat. Mycological study of 22 of these samples showed a large number of fungal contaminants resulting in a 100% contamination of all our samples Among them, it indicates the presence of the principal genus implicated in the production of mycotoxins: Aspergillus spp (77% Penicillium spp (18%), and Mucor (90%). Detection of mycotoxins is performed by LC-MSMS. The results showed a variation in levelsof aflatoxin B1 and ochratoxin A, without exceeding the maximum limits set by Moroccan regulations. Conclusion: The prevention of contamination of raw materials and the development of molds implies respect for good farming practices and storage conditions for food products. Risk management is the responsibility of governments and require total respect of international recommendations to reduce the impact on the economy and health population.","PeriodicalId":92322,"journal":{"name":"Advances in bioscience and clinical medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44166705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Method: Transabdominal ultrasound was carried out on 220 women attending obstetric sonography in their second and third trimesters between September and December, 2020 in Cross River State, Nigeria. Each patient was scanned in a supine position, Bi-parietal diameter (BPD) measurements were taken from the outer edge of the closer temporoparietal bone to the inner edge of the farther temporoparietal bone. The occipito-frontal (OF) measurements were taken from the occipital bone to the frontal bone, and the cephalic index determined using the formula CI = BPD/OF *100. Results: Mean values of cephalic index and standard deviation was calculated for the fetuses at different gestational ages. The results showed that the mean cephalic index was 76.48±11.87. Male fetuses had cephalic index of 78.18±4.11 while female had cephalic index of 74.34±16.52. There was significant difference in the cephalic index between male and female fetuses (p<0.002). Conclusion: The present study shows the cephalic index of fetuses of cross river state population remained mesaticephalic from 13 weeks of gestation to full term. This may be attributed to the ethnicity and race of this group of people.","PeriodicalId":92322,"journal":{"name":"Advances in bioscience and clinical medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49516972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, there is no ideal diagnostic or prognostic biomarker for SA at the moment. By virtue of their lack of specificity and accuracy, traditional inflammatory biomarkers are often ineffective in distinguishing SA from infectious joint disease. The present hypothesis wishes to explore the discriminatory power of unique inflammatory biomarkers in liquid biopsy samples of bacteria induced mice and SA patient samples by means of genome wide analysis in which includes epigenetic, genomics and transcriptome expression pattern. Investigation on gene expression by RNA sequencing and DNA methylation studies provides the best possible target genes of differentially expressed both RNA and DNA marker genes. The aim is to find a meaningful positive or negative association between gene expression in RNA sequencing data and DNA methylation status. Validation of differentially expressed genes and differentially methylated genes by functional mechanistic studies to determine the best predictive and prognostic marker for SA for regular therapeutic use by comparison with established reference genes. With respect to bacterial mediated mice vs SA patient gene contrast, the predicted results clarifies the in-depth understanding of pathophysiology, disease development, and SA status.","PeriodicalId":92322,"journal":{"name":"Advances in bioscience and clinical medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45379784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During telophase, dysfunctional micronuclear envelope reassembly leaves the micronuclear envelope highly unstable and rupture-prone. Following rupture, micronuclei attempt to repair membrane gaps, but the process is typically unsuccessful and may promote the invasion of ER tubules into the interior of micronuclei. These abnormalities cause ruptured micronuclei to accumulate significant DNA damage in the form of both single-stranded DNA and double-stranded breaks. Because micronuclei are capable of promoting genome instability, it is essential to understand the sources of DNA damage and the mechanism through which it arises in these structures. In this review, I will explore the causes and consequences of micronuclear envelope rupture, beginning with the processes surrounding improper micronuclear envelope reassembly. I will then discuss micronuclear envelope rupture, attempted micronuclear envelope repair and its consequences, and the proposed causes of micronuclear DNA damage.","PeriodicalId":92322,"journal":{"name":"Advances in bioscience and clinical medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43261722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal of this review is to highlight the most commonly used cancer models as well as their role in tumor biology. Although each model has inherent powers and limitations in faithfully mirroring the complexity of tumorigenesis, there is no perfect single model for cancer. Main body: Oncologists can learn about the tumor microenvironment, gene mutations, and complex physiological systems using model organisms for cancer research. The widespread use of model organisms in cancer research has greatly improved understanding of how mutations in humans lead to cancer. Human cancer cell lines, drosophila, yeast, and mice are among the model organisms used to study cancer. However, these model organisms have flaws that can cause the tumor microenvironment to be falsified and restrict the defined targets in translational studies. Conclusion: The overwhelming message from various animal models allows us to better understand the state of the disease and develop new cancer treatments. Mice are a good substitute and surrogate for patients in the evaluation of diagnosis and prognosis among the various model organisms used in cancer research.","PeriodicalId":92322,"journal":{"name":"Advances in bioscience and clinical medicine","volume":"9 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46745506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
