Abstract Background Chagas disease (CD) is a neglected parasitic that affects >6 million people in the Americas, including >200,000 United States (US). Medical provider knowledge of CD key to decreasing morbidity and transmission; however, few studies have assessed diagnostic practices US health systems serving at-risk patients. Our study aimed describe existing approaches diagnos...

We have devised a complementation assay in yeast to clone mammalian transcriptional activators and have used it to identify a human basic leucine-zipper transcription factor that we have designated Nrf1 for NF-E2-related factor 1. Nrf1 potentially encodes a 742-aa protein and displays marked homology to the mouse and human NF-E2 transcription factors. Nrf1 activates transcription via NF-E2 bind...

Since the 1970s great progress has been made to develop transit systems which provide service considerably better than buses can offer in mixed traffic, but which require significantly lower investment than metro systems with exclusive ways. This “semirapid transit” category of modes, using mostly partially separated ways, has been introduced extensively in medium-sized cities, as well as suppl...

Super–inflation driven by dilaton/moduli kinetic energy is naturally realized in compactified string theory. Discussed are selected topics of recent development in string inflationary cosmology: kinematics of super-inflation, graceful exit triggered by quantum back reaction, and classical and quantum power spectra of density and metric perturbations. † Invited Talk given at 7th Asian-Pacific Re...

IJEMHHR • Vol. 18, No. 2 • 2016 742 BACKGROUND Falls in hospital are relevant adverse events, due to their frequency and potential consequences, for both patients and healthcare facilities (Saccomano & Ferrara, 2015; Cattelani et al., 2015). In literature, their incidence ranges between 10 and 17 for 1,000 patient bed days, with physical consequences in 30% of the cases (Hill et al., 2015). Fur...

Based on a pair of primers developed initially for differentiating the anginosus group from other viridans streptococci, the PCR reported here can also differentiate between members of the anginosus group and Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis among beta-hemolytic group C and G streptococci. The resulting 742-bp PCR product was specific for members of the anginosus group, although a ...
