Quantifying impact of the low-cost SERS substrate on SERS signal

Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) allows structural detection of molecules absorbed on rough noble metal surfaces by amplifying a normally weak Raman signal. It can be applied in forensic science, biosensing, food safety, and medical diagnostics [1]. Although costly gold and silver films are used as SERS substrates, AuNPs (gold nanoparticles) on aluminum foil can become a low-cost alternative

Diabetes Mellitus Type 2: A New Sour-Milk Product for Prevention and Treatment

Based on camel milk, a new multicomponent, specialized fermented dairy bio-product "Inulakt-Fito" was developed for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Its expressed hypoglycemic, antioxidant effect was established in experimental alloxan diabetes

Draft genome sequence of Lactobacillus rhamnosus CLS17

The human gut microbiome is an organ that provides primary barrier protection against foreign agents. Most of the microorganisms are different strains of commensal bacteria that are colonized in the gut. Gut flora influence food metabolism and have an antagonistic effect on different pathogens and immunomodulatory properties (1). One of the main species of gut flora is in the genus Lactobacillus...This work was supported by grant 0113PK00783 from the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan

2 nd International conference "Personalized medicine and Global Health"

Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is one of the leading causes of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Intrauterine continuous amnioinfusion via a subcutaneously implanted port system for PPROM is an attempt to improve the perinatal outcomes

Genetic, social, and behavioral risk factors for tuberculosis: preliminary results from a matched case-control study in Kazakhstan

We designed a case-control study to examine demographic, clinical, social and cultural factors associated with tuberculosis in four regions of Kazakhstan. Cases included persons identified by the national tuberculosis program as having primary pulmonary tuberculosis, and controls were healthy household members and randomly selected community residents
