Severe asthma is problematic and its pathogenesis poorly understood. Fungal sensitization is common, and many patients with severe asthma with fungal sensitization (SAFS), used to denote this subgroup of asthma, respond to antifungal therapy. We have investigated 325 haplotype-tagging SNPs in 22 candidate genes previously associated with aspergillosis in patients with SAFS, with comparisons in ...

In this paper, a test platform for ethanol port injection plus gasoline direct was built to explore the effects of different ethanol-gasoline ratios (Re), timing (DIT) and ignition (IT) on combustion emissions SI engine. Results clearly show that when total fuel contains more ethanol, corresponding maximum torque is smaller than gasoline. Compared with sole (EPI) mode (GDI) mode, G25 EPI + GDI ...

Abstract Aim The aim is to describe the laparoscopic surgical technique of eTEP with 3 trocars from upper port in a 52-year-old male patient who presented small ventral hernias Material & Methods Recently, hernia repair, Rives-Stoppa e-TEP eventroplasty (eTEP-RS) has been introduced.
