Should HLA-B*5701 screening be performed in every ethnic group before starting abacavir?
Human leukocyte antigen allele (HLA)-B*5701 is associated with abacavir hypersensitivity. However, the carriage rate of HLA-B*5701 has rarely been studied in Asians. In 534 Korean patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection, HLA-B*5701 status was determined by polymerase chain reaction with HLA-B*5701-specific primers. No patients had the HLA-B*5701 allele (95% confidence interval, 0%-...

Monitoring is usually planned under the assumption that it must be carried out at fixed intervals in time, typically annually, before the harvest quota is set. However, monitoring can be very expensive, and we should weigh the cost of monitoring against the...
متن کاملDental Implants, What Should Be Known before Starting an in Vitro Study
Dental implant–abutment systems are used as anchors to support single or multi-unit prostheses for partially or fully edentulous patients.
