Background and Aim: Saroglitazar has gained extensive popularity as therapeutic option for management of NAFLD & NASH in India. We aimed to evaluate the effect saroglitazar on liver function test (LFT) fibrosis score (LSM) by FibroScan, patients with real life clinical setup. Methods: The suffering from are prescribed 4mg OD. Those who satisfies study inclusion criteria (n=52, male 67.3%, diabe...

The hepatitis-B virus (HBV) is one of the most common chronic pathogens in the world. More than 2 billions of world population have been exposed to this virus and 350 millions of them (5% of world population) are chronic carriers of HBV. One of the most common routes of transmission of this virus is blood products and transfusion . For this reason blood transfusion organization controls all of ...

It is our pleasure to read the comments sent to the journal by Equinas et al. regarding our article “Combined noninvasive ventilation and mechanical in-exsufflator in the treatment of pediatric acute neuromuscular respiratory failure.” The exciting field of critical care of acute respiratory failure (ARF) in pediatric patients with neuromuscular diseases (NMD) is clearly challenging because of ...

This paper investigates the role of sheathing-to-framing connection ductility in evaluation structural q-behaviour factor for Light-Frame Timber (LFT) buildings, by means Incremental Dynamic Analyses (IDA). approach allows to consider nonlinear cyclic behaviour walls, which cannot be taken into account with sta...

Model validation provides a useful means of assessing the ability of a model to account for a specific experimental observation, and has application to modeling, identification and fault detection. In this paper we consider a new approach to the linear fractional transformation (LFT) model validation problem by deploying quadratic functionals, and more generally nonlinear functionals, to specif...

Under intensive aquaculture conditions, fish are exposed to many pathogens, due to that strengthening their immune system is an alternative significant way to reduce mortality rate and disease-related complications. Probiotics are valuable oral nutrition supplements for this purpose. In the present investigation, there were used Koi fish (n=120) with the characteristics of 10±3 Cm in length and...

For f : [0, 1] → R, we consider Lft , the local time of space-time Brownian motion on the curve f . Let Sα be the class of all functions whose Hölder norm of order α is less than or equal to 1. We show that the supremum of Lf1 over f in Sα is finite is α > 1 2 and infinite if α < 1 2 . Research partially supported by NSF grant DMS-9700721.
