Every year, tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) causes severe central nervous system infection in 10 000 to 15 000 people in Europe and Asia. TBEV is maintained in the environment by an enzootic cycle that requires a tick vector and a vertebrate host, and the adaptation of TBEV to vertebrate and invertebrate environments is essential for TBEV persistence in nature. This adaptation is facilitat...

These notes are written as supplements to the textbook, “Numerical Linear Algebra” by Lloyd Trefethen and David Bau, for CAAM 454/554 students. Those who are preparing for the CAAM Ph.D Qualifying exam on Numerical Analysis should do the exercises provided in these notes. We will mostly follow the notation of the book. For instance, unless otherwise specified, the norm ‖ · ‖ refers to the Eucli...

purpose : to assess the results of brachytherapy in patients with recurrent or incomplete excised conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma (scc) and malignant melanoma. methods : three patients underwent brachytherapy of one eye and one patient underwent brachytherapy of both eyes with ruthenium-106 (ru-106) plaques, all of them had a history of incomplete resection or recurrence of the tumor after...

We refer to the recent publication by Nakano and co-workers in Disease Models & Mechanisms (Nakano et al., 2016). This report claims that the Helicobacter pylori vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA) is the crucial factor inducing the activation of the host cell kinase for translocated CagA, Src, via a mechanism involving the receptor phosphatase RPTP-α using the human duodenum carcinoma cell line AZ-52...

The effects of ceftizoxime (CZX), piperacillin (PIP), and PIP-tazobactam (PT) concentrations on the antibacterial activity and selection of resistant mutants of Bacteroides fragilis and Enterobacter cloacae were investigated in vitro in a mixed-culture anaerobic time-kill study and in vivo in a mixed-infection abscess model. Mixed cultures were incubated for 24 h with 0.125 to 512 micro g of CZ...

Abstract Introduction Due to the COVID-19, there has been a decrease in patient access flexible cystoscopy within urology and an increase telemedicine assist with contact care. It is pertinent consider impact of pandemic on experience, satisfaction, awareness services alongside clinical delays. Aim The aim was assess degree satisfaction across East Kent University Hospital Trust illicit prevale...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The goal of this study was to assess the first multifrequency transcranial Doppler system specially developed for online automatic detection of cerebral microemboli. METHODS The multifrequency Doppler instrumentation insonates simultaneously with 2.0- and 2.5-MHz frequencies. The detection threshold for embolus detection used in this study was a relative Doppler energy ...

In the first half of the course, we covered topics from probability theory. The difference between statistics and probability theory is the following: In probability theory, we know everything about the underlying process that generates random variables. We then try to infer characteristics of these random variables. In statistics, however, we do not know the underlying process at all. To the c...
