ENDOTHELIAL NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISM AND LEFT VENTRICULAR FUNCTION IN EARLY CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE.

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase single nucleotide polymorphism and left ventricular function in early chronic kidney disease.

BackgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with accelerated cardiovascular disease and heart failure.Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) Glu298Asp single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotype has been associated with a worse phenotype amongst patients with established heart failure and in patients with progression of their renal dis

Microbiota and Antibiotic Resistome of Lettuce Leaves and Radishes Grown in Soils Receiving Manure-Based Amendments Derived From Antibiotic-Treated Cows

Cattle are commonly administered antibiotics, resulting in excretion of antibiotics, antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB), and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs).The aim of this study was to determine if the use of dairy manure collected during antibiotic administration influences the bacterial microbiota of lettuce and radishes, including carriage
