Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a dangerous pathogen and a leading cause of both nosocomial and community acquired bacterial infection worldwide. However, on the other hand, we are all exposed to this bacterium, often within the first hours of life, and usually manage to establish equilibrium and coexist with it. What does the adaptive immune system contribute toward lifelong control of S....

BACKGROUND Iron-deficiency anaemia (IDA) is a major worldwide public health problem. Children and women of reproductive age are especially vulnerable to IDA, and it has been reported that these patients are more prone to infection. This study was done to evaluate alteration of lymphocyte subgroups in IDA. METHODS In this prospective study, we investigated lymphocyte subsets in pre-menopausal ...

Alterations of absolute number or percentage of circulating white blood cell (WBC) subsets are associated with psychological and physical stress. Gender effects on the changes of circulating WBC subsets following surgical treatment have not been determined. Therefore, the current study aimed to determine whether circulating neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio...

The adult cerebellum is functionally compartmentalized into clusters along the mediolateral axis (M-L clusters), and a variety of molecular makers are expressed in specific subsets of M-L clusters. These M-L clusters appear to be the basic structure in which cerebellar functions are performed, but the mechanisms by which cerebellar mediolateral compartmentalization is established are still uncl...

For every natural number n ≥ 2 and every finite sequence L of natural numbers, we consider the set UDn(L) of all uniquely decodable codes over an n-letter alphabet with the sequence L as the sequence of code word lengths, as well as its subsets PRn(L) and FDn(L) consisting of, respectively, the prefix codes and the codes with finite delay. We derive the estimation for the quotient |UDn(L)|/|PRn...

We define a class of L-convex-concave subsets of RP n , where L is a projective sub-space of dimension l in RP n. These are sets whose sections by any (l+1)-dimensional space L ′ containing L are convex and concavely depend on L ′. We introduce an L-duality for these sets, and prove that the L-dual to an L-convex-concave set is an L *-convex-concave subset of (RP n) *. We discuss a version of A...

Human brucellosis is a major health problem in developing countries. A number of patients with human brucellosis do not recover from the acute stage of the disease and pass into the chronic form. Since the pathophysiology of this change is not well understood, we studied the T-cell subsets during the acute, subacute and chronic forms of human brucellosis. In this study we found alterations...

In this article, we present characterizations of the concavity property minimal $$L^2$$ integrals degenerating to linearity in case products analytic subsets on open Riemann surfaces. As applications, obtain holding equality optimal jets extension problem from surfaces, which implies product versions parts Suita conjecture and extended conjecture, a Ohsawa for

Let I be a non-empty family of a-subsets of an n-element set and 1 a non-empty family of b-subsets satisfying A A B# 0 for all A ES/, BEG. Suppose that n>a+b, baa. It is proved that in this case ~~~+~.4Y~<(~)-(" ;L1)+l holds. Various extensions of this result are proved. Two new proofs of the Hilton-Milner theorem on non-trivial intersection families are given as well.
