BACKGROUND Before this study, the efficacy and safety of doubling the dosage of fluvastatin from 40 mg/day to 80 mg/day in Chinese patients with primary hypercholesterolemia remained to be determined. METHODS In this open-label, active-controlled randomized 2-center study, patients with primary hypercholesterolemia were randomized to treatment with immediate-release fluvastatin 40 mg/day (n =...

OBJECTIVE AMI-227 is an ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide colloid known to enhance tissue T1 and T2 relaxation rates. Animal studies show that AMI-227 has an estimated blood half-life of more than 200 min. In this study, we evaluated the clinical utility of AMI-227 as an MR contrast agent for detection and characterization of focal hepatic lesions, with MR imaging done while the contrast ...

Introduction. Campylobacter is one of the leading bacterial causes of food-borne disease. The prevalence of Campylobacter species resistant to antimicrobial agents is increasing. This study is intended to determine prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Campylobacter species among under-five children with diarrhea. Methodology. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 227 un...

A simple, rapid and specific reversed phase HPLC method has been developed for the estimation ofWithaferin A in Polyherbalformulation containing Withaferin A and its extract. HPLC analysis was performed on C18 column using mixture of Acetonitrile and Methanol containing 0.05 % Triethylamine as isocratic mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 ml per minute at detection wavelength of 227 nm. The meth...

Methanococcus deltae DLH was grown on H2-CO2 in the presence of various concentrations of furfural. Furfural at higher concentrations, namely, 20 and 25 mM, inhibited growth of this organism. At concentration of 5 and 10 mM, no inhibition of growth was observed. The other methanogens in this study were not inhibited by 10 mM furfural. Among the methanogens tested, M. deltae was capable of trans...

OBJECTIVE To determine the ratio of disproportionate versus proportionate Intra uterine growth retardation among low birth weight babies using the Ponderal index. METHODS This was a retrospective study. Medical records of babies with weight < 2.5kg delivered in the Obstetric Department were reviewed. The ponderal index was calculated to determine disproportionate and proportionate intra uteri...

Brucellosis is a worldwide contagious and zoonotic bacterial infectious disease caused by Brucella. The aim of present study was therefore to establish the seroprevalence of brucellosis in Arapai, Soroti district, Uganda. A structured questionnaire administered to 72 farmers captured farmer characteristics, breed of animals reared, occurrence of abortion, risk of brucellosis infection to herd o...

Sixty-three postlinguistically deaf adults from four English-speaking countries participated in a 17-week field study of performance with a new speech coding strategy, Spectral Peak (SPEAK), and the most widely used strategy, Multipeak (MPEAK), both of which are implemented on wearable speech processors of the Nucleus 22 Channel Cochlear Implant System; MPEAK is a feature-extraction strategy, w...

The structures of micelles of the surfactant polysorbate 80 (Tween 80) in 0-50% aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solutions (pH 7.2, ionic strength 2.44 mM) were investigated by means of small-angle X-ray scattering. At DMSO concentrations of 0-20%, core-shell cylinder micelles formed, and at 30-50% DMSO, core-shell discus micelles formed, that is, changing the hydrophobicity of the DMSO solven...
