In their recent interesting published manuscript, Ahmadi et al. showed that in predialysis patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) doubling the dose of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine from 20mcg to 40mcg was not benefit regarding the seroconvertion rate (1). Although somewhat provocative, the above highlights the complexity of the immune system and the difficulties in interfering effectively ...

Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common and important clinical problem in many different organ systems. Once the blood flow and oxygen supply are reestablished, reperfusion enhances the injury caused by the ischemic period .This phenomenon, known as ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury, impacts directly on liver viability, especially during transplantation and liver surgery. The purpose of th...

Aims: One of the most common cardiac surgeries is valve replacement. All cardiac valve-replaced patients need to use warfarin during their life in order to reduce the risk of valvular thrombosis.There were some reports about various problems of using warfarin by considering care conditions, but there was no comprehensive study based on patients’ experiences. The present study was carried out wi...

Heavy metal contamination of soil, water and air has caused serious environmental hazard in the biosphere due to rapid industrialization and urbanization. A variety of metal binding ligands such as organic acids and amino acids involve in the heavy metal remediation mechanisms by plants. This paper analyses the possible role of amino acid histidine and organic acids, namely, citric, oxalic and ...

[22] Official 1996 olympic web site-home page. In this paper, we have presented a statistical analysis of through-puts of Web transfers. This analysis was performed using a large packet-level trace of traffic at the Web site for the Atlanta Summer Olympic Games. Observed mean throughputs for these transfers vary widely as a function of end-host location and time of day, confirming that a large ...

Recently, the issue of machine condition monitoring and fault diagnosis as a part of maintenance system became global due to the potential advantages to be gained from reduced maintenance costs, improved productivity and increased machine availability. The aim of this work is to investigate the effectiveness of a new fault diagnosis method based on power spectral density (PSD) of vibration sign...

In this paper, parallel distributed detection in wireless sensor network (WSN) is considered where the sensors process the observations to make local decisions and send these decisions to a central device called fusion center. Receiver diversity technique is proposed here for the distributed detection system in order to enhance the system reliability by improving the detection performance. The ...
