New extended-spectrum beta-lactamase GES-11 was detected in Acinetobacter baumannii BM4674. The enzyme conferred resistance to beta-lactams, including aztreonam, and reduced susceptibility to carbapenems. The structural gene was part of a class 1 integron borne by self-transferable plasmid pIP847. GES-type beta-lactamases have not been reported previously in A. baumannii.

The objectives of the present work are to evaluate long-term benefit of nonexcitatory gastric electrical stimulation (GES) by the DIAMOND(®) device on glycemic control and body weight in patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with oral agents and to determine the magnitude of the modulating effects of fasting plasma triglyceride (FTG) levels on these effects of GES. Sixty one pat...

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS The understanding of lactose intolerance (LI) is limited in some professional settings. Sociedad Española de Patología Digestiva (SEPD) and Sociedad Española de Medicina General (SEMG) have developed a survey in order to: a) Analyze primary care physicians (PCPs) knowledge and clinical management; and b) to compare results with those of a previous survey of Spanish gastroe...

Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and Generalized Estimates System (GES) data are most commonly used datasets to examine motor vehicle occupant injury severity in the United States (US). The FARS dataset focuses exclusively on fatal crashes, but provides detailed information on the continuum of fatality (a spectrum ranging from a death occurring within thirty days of the crash up to ins...

In the paper the approach based on considerable non-uniformity of electric properties of lithosphere both by depth and by area is developed. Geoelectric sections (GES) of various types of continental lithosphere (rift hollows, crystalline massif, permafrost) to large depths are examined. The substantiation of models of the lithosphere electric conductivity in seismically active and stable areas...

Introduction: The limitation of the 2 order diffusion tensor model in the representation of voxels containing more than one dominant fiber direction have led to the development of more advanced representations. Here the focus is especially on higher order diffusion tensor models [1,2]. These more advanced diffusion models require datasets which provide diffusion information for a larger number ...

The mechanical force relationships that distinguish normal from chronic reflux at sphincter opening are poorly understood and difficult to measure in vivo. Our aim was to apply physics-based computer simulations to determine mechanical pathogenesis of gastroesophageal reflux. A mathematical model of the gastroesophageal segment (GES) was developed, incorporating the primary anatomical and physi...

Bioassay tests were carried out to investigate the susceptibility status of two (3rd and 4th) instar larvae of Culex quenquifasciatus Say populations of Dhaka city against two organophosphate (malathion and chloropyrifos) and two pyrithroid (cypermethrin and lambdacyhalothrin) insecticides. The LC50 values of malathion, chloropyrifos, cypermetrin and lambdacyhalothrin against the 3rd instar lar...
