Patients diagnosed late in the course of HIV infection are at an increased risk of negative health outcomes and are more likely to transmit HIV to others. Using the CDC's definition for AIDS, we analyzed case report data from persons diagnosed with AIDS within 12 months of an HIV diagnosis ("late-to-test") in Riverside County, CA, between 2009 and 2014. Of 1385 HIV cases, 422 (30.5%) were late-...

Automatic sequencing of yeast enolase and of its chemically and enzymatically produced peptide fragments has established the sequence of 416 of the 436 residues in the enolase subunits. The missing segments have been provided from results from sequencing the DNA of the yeast enolase genes (Holland, M. J., Holland, J. P., Thill, G. P., and Jackson, K. A. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 1385-1395). Th...

Şerefeddin Sabuncuoğlu (1385-1468?), the author of Cerrahiyetü'l-Haniyye (Imperial Surgery), was a distinguished Ottoman Turkish surgeon. The first illustrated Turkish surgical textbook, Cerrahiyetü'l-Haniyye consisted of three chapters (ie, cauterisation treatments, surgical procedures and fractures and dislocations). Although the main source of the book was Al-Tasrif (Textbook of Surgery) by ...

Background: We evaluated the number of ear, nose, throat, phlegm, and wound-site culture samples sent to Medical Microbiological Laboratory at a University Hospital in Turkey before during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.Materials Methods: In this study, 2662 cultures 2019, 2020, 2021 were evaluated. The categorised by type year, changes over time assessed.Results: Of patients, 127...

Fermilab E781 plans measurements of γ-Sigma and γ-pion interactions using a 600 GeV beam of Sigmas and pions, and a virtual photon target. Pion polarizabilities and radiative transitions will be measured in this experiment. The former can test a precise prediction of chiral symmetry; the latter for a1(1260)→ πγ is important for understanding the polarizability. The experiment also measures pola...

We evaluate the antikaon and hyperon spectral functions in a self-consistent and covariant many-body approach. The computation is based on coupled-channel dynamics derived from the chiral SU(3) Lagrangian. A novel subtraction scheme is developed that avoids kinematical singularities and medium-induced power divergencies all together. Scalar and vector mean fields are used to model nuclear bindi...

Recent developments are summarised concerning low-energy K̄N interactions as they relate to the possible existence of antikaon-nuclear quasibound states. An exploratory study of antikaons bound to finite nuclei is performed, with emphasis on the evolution of such states from light to heavy nuclei (A = 16 208). The energy dependent, driving attractive K̄N interactions are constructed using the s-w...

The charged current antikaon production off nucleons induced by antineutrinos is studied at low and intermediate energies. We extend here our previous calculation on kaon production induced by neutrinos. We have developed a microscopic model that starts from the SU(3) chiral Lagrangians and includes background terms and the resonant mechanisms associated to the lowest lying resonance in the cha...
