Background: Mycobacterium is a genus of Actinobacteriaceae and the family, including important pathogens, such as tuberculosis (i.e., cause tuberculosis) leprae leprosy). Tuberculosis still major death in human societies. Objectives: The current study aimed to evaluate effect ethanolic extract garlic on isolated from patients Zabol, Iran, investigate presence antibiotic-resistant genes tubercul...

The Black Sholes Merton (BSM) model is one of the fundamental stochastics models in quantitative finance and Jump diffusion (MJ) model. This paper examines how BSM, MJ behave on European pricing based 10 options chosen for Apple Inc, with BSM using RRS, SSE, Historical Volatility, SSE as calibration methods. Then delta-neutral hedging strategy performed historical data collected from concessive...

INTRODUCTION Recently, multi-ethnic reference ranges for spirometry have been created for use worldwide. In comparison, forced oscillation technique (FOT) reference values are limited to specific equipment and study populations, with current FOT reference ranges created in a Caucasian population. We aimed to develop FOT reference ranges for preschool-aged Mexican children and to compare these w...

BACKGROUND The 92 capsular serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae differ greatly in nasopharyngeal carriage prevalence, invasiveness, and disease incidence. There has been some debate, though, regarding whether serotype independently affects the outcome of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). Published studies have shown variable results with regard to case-fatality ratios for specific serotypes...

INTRODUCTION Tracheotomy is widely performed in the intensive care unit after long-term oral intubation. The present study investigates the immediate influence of tracheotomy on respiratory mechanics and blood gases during mechanical ventilation. METHODS Tracheotomy was performed in 32 orally intubated patients for 10.5 +/- 4.66 days (all results are means +/- standard deviations). Airway pre...

Purpose Ocular and systemic measurement and imaging of the macular carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin have been employed extensively as potential biomarkers of AMD risk. In this study, we systematically compare dual wavelength retinal autofluorescence imaging (AFI) of macular pigment with skin resonance Raman spectroscopy (RRS) and serum carotenoid levels in a clinic-based population. Methods ...

This study examines healthcare use in 2011 for communicable diseases among migrant workers compared with Thai workers in Thailand. The relative risks (RRs) of 14 communicable diseases (803,817 cases between ages 18 and 59) were calculated using the National Epidemiological Surveillance System, a nationwide hospital database. Regarding the migrant workers, 71.0% were Burmese and 17.3% were Cambo...

The forced oscillation technique (FOT) is gaining clinical acceptance, facilitated by more commercial devices and clinical data. However, the effects of variations in testing protocols used in FOT data acquisition are unknown. We describe the effect of duration of data acquisition on FOT results in subjects with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and healthy controls. FOT data...

OBJECTIVES We studied the development and fitness cost of 2-deoxystreptamine aminoglycoside resistance of Mycobacterium abscessus. METHODS Spontaneous 2-deoxystreptamine aminoglycoside-resistant mutants were selected and the frequency of their appearance was determined. The 3' part of the rrs gene was sequenced to characterize mutations. Additionally, we determined the MICs of aminoglycoside ...

Rice is one of the most important food crops around world. Remote sensing technology, as an effective and rapidly developing method, has been widely applied to precise rice management. To observe current research status in field remote (RRS), a bibliometric analysis was carried out based on 2680 papers RRS published during 1980–2021, which were collected from core collection Web Science databas...
