چکیده
Objective: To determine end treatment and sustained virological response to conventional interferons and ribavirin. Methodology: This descriptive study was conducted from January 2009 to September 2011 at DHQ hospital Dir, KPK, Pakistan. Three hundred and forty-seven patients of chronic hepatitis C aged 18 to 60 years were given conventional Interferons alpha 2a and Ribavirin for six months under Prime Minister Program for control of hepatitis. Results: Out of three hundred and forty seven patients three hundred and thirty nine patients completed the therapy. End treatment response was achieved in 229(67.5%) patients and sustained virological response was seen in 210(61.94%) patients. Conclusion: Combination of conventional interferon and ribavirin has a high sustained virological response with fewer side effects in our study. In resource depleted countries like Pakistan, conventional interferon alpha 2a and ribavirin combination therapy can be used as the first line treatment for non affording chronic hepatitis C patients.

متن کاملImage Matching Using Distance Transform
Image matching is an important task. There are many available methods for occluded image matching, e.g. Hausdorff distance, Distance Transformi and wavelet decomposition based methods. We proposed Modified Chamfer Matching Algorithm (MCMA) [16], a new simple distance transform based image matching algorithm. Here we propose few more matching measures and compare them. Basic concepts relating to...
متن کاملModified Chamfer Matching Algorithm
Image matching is an important task. There are many available methods for occluded image matching. In this paper we propose new simple image-matching algorithm, modified chamfer matching algorithm (MCMA). Distance transform and conventional chamfer matching algorithm are explained. Examples to demonstrate the algorithm and necessary results are also included. Proposed MCMA is robust, and to an ...
متن کاملOn the variable sum exdeg index and cut edges of graphs
The variable sum exdeg index of a graph G is defined as $SEI_a(G)=sum_{uin V(G)}d_G(u)a^{d_G(u)}$, where $aneq 1$ is a positive real number, du(u) is the degree of a vertex u ∈ V (G). In this paper, we characterize the graphs with the extremum variable sum exdeg index among all the graphs having a fixed number of vertices and cut edges, for every a>1.

The burden of life on the earth is the source of biological contamination in water. Nanotechnology has promising contributions in control of microbial contaminations and medicinal plants further increase these properties. Presently, copper acetate and nickel oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using 1mM solution of each with Ziziphus mauritiana leaves extract as reducing agent. Nanoparticles w...
