s was at the discretion of the groups, but greater reliance was placed on peer-reviewed publications. All relevant scientific literature, as identified by the experts, was considered. A systematic literature search was not carried out. The recommendations from each group were then presented to all the experts and discussed, and a consensus was reached. The ‘Infectious Diseases Society of Americ...

INTRODUCTION Previous studies in Nigeria have documented significant association between maternal education and child immunization. However, little is known about the pathway through which maternal education improves immunization uptake. This study aims to examine whether maternal literacy and socioeconomic status mediates the relationship between maternal education and complete immunization co...

Metadichol ® a novel nano emulsion of lipid alcohols is an Inverse agonist of Vitamin D Receptor (VDR). In this communication, we show that Metadichol is an inverse agonist of the nuclear receptor AHR (Aryl Hydrocarbon receptor) and also an inhibitor of NRF2 (Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2) and is a transcription factor that is ubiquitously expressed at low levels in all human orga...

Utilization of nonfermentable carbon sources by Kluyveromyces lactis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires the Snf1p kinase and the Cat8p transcriptional activator, which binds to carbon source-responsive elements of target genes. We demonstrate that KlSnf1p and KlCat8p from K. lactis interact in a two-hybrid system and that the interaction is stronger with a kinase-dead mutant form of KlSnf1p....

We propose semiparametric tests of misspeci cation of agent's information for games of incomplete information. The tests use the intuition that the opponent's choices should not predict a player's choice conditional on the proposed information available to the player. The tests are designed to check against some commonly used null hypotheses (Bajari et al. (2010), Aradillas-Lopez (2010)). We sh...

Several proteins belonging to the ATP-binding cassette superfamily can affect ion channel function. These include the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, the sulfonylurea receptor, and the multidrug resistance protein P-glycoprotein (MDR1). We measured whole cell swelling-activated Cl- currents ( I Cl,swell) in parental cells and cells expressing wild-type MDR1 or a phosphoryla...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the prevalence and etiology of potassium abnormalities (hypokalemia and hyperkalemia) and management approaches for hospitalized patients. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Over a 4-month period, all hospitalized patients at Hacettepe University Medical Faculty Hospitals who underwent at least one measurement of serum potassium during hospitalization were included. Data o...
