BACKGROUND Overdiagnosis and overtreatment are rarely discussed in the context of NTDs despite their relevance for patients under the care of health services with limited resources where the risks of therapy induced complications are often disproportionate to the benefit. The advantages of cyst staging-based management of patients with cystic echinococcosis (CE) are not yet fully explored. Ques...

OBJECTIVES A myocardial calcium-independent PLA2 has been described that is activated during myocardial ischemia and this enzyme may modulate ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP). The aim of this study was to determine the effect of an inhibitor of this enzyme, a bromoenol lactone, in isolated globally ischemic rat hearts. METHODS Isolated rat hearts were treated for 10 min with 0.3-6 micr...

to evaluate symbiotic effectiveness and salt tolerance of sinorhizobium meliloti strains, 50 rhizobial strains were isolated from root nodules of medicago sativa cultivated in tehran and zanjan fields. under n-free conditions, the symbiotic effectiveness of different sinorhizobium meliloti strains of bami cultivar were evaluated under greenhouse conditions using 50 sinorhizobium meliloti strain...

Direct measurements of the trilinear gauge boson couplings by the CDF and DØ collaborations at Fermilab are reviewed. Limits on the anomalous couplings were obtained at a 95% CL from four diboson production processes: Wγ production with the subsequent W boson decay to eν or μν, WW production with both the W boson decaying to eν or μν, WW/WZ production with one of the gauge bosons decaying lepto...

UNLABELLED Replication of (+)RNA viruses depends on several co-opted host proteins but is also under the control of cell-intrinsic restriction factors (CIRFs). By using tombusviruses, small model viruses of plants, we dissect the mechanism of inhibition of viral replication by cellular WW-domain-containing proteins, which act as CIRFs. By using fusion proteins between the WW domain and the p33 ...

Constructed wetland treatment systems are used to remove selenium (Se) from flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) wastewater (WW). However, direct confirmation of the mechanism responsible for FGD WW Se retention in soil is lacking. A laboratory-based soil column study was performed to develop an evidence-based mechanism of Se retention and to study the behavior and the retention capacity of FGD WW co...

Understanding the suitability of different conversion technologies for types biomass feedstocks is crucial in delivering full valorisation biomasses. This novel research which presents an extensive comparative study on how three thermal (torrefaction, pyrolysis, and semi-continuous hydrothermal conversion) process interdependencies are influenced by (Rapeseed (RS), Whitewood (WW), Seaweed Lamin...

We present recent diboson production measurements from the D0 experiment at Fermilab’s Tevatron collider. The production of ZZ was observed using leptonic final states. Zγ → ννγ was observed and used to set the most stringent limits from a hadron collider on anomalous Zγγ and ZZγ trilinear gauge couplings (TGCs). WW events with leptonic final states and WW +WZ events with semi-leptonic final st...
