Today, chronic viral hepatitis is considered as a public health problem in the world. Totally, 5% of the world population, especially in Asia and Africa suffer from this problem. The prevalence of acute hepatitis in America is 0.1-0.2 percent, 50% of those with hepatitis C (HCV) and 5-10% of them with hepatitis B (HCV) develop chronic hepatitis. Determining HBV and HCV genotypes is important to...

In the late 1990s, when the human genome project was beginning to look like a realistic endeavour, only to be challenged by the competing bid from entrepreneur and shotgun sequencing pioneer Craig Venter, the competition between a publicly funded sequencing effort and a private one raised the issue of who would own the genome data, and whether parts of it would be protected by patents. As genom...

When cardiac pacing is performed in the bipolar configuration, both the cathode (negatively charged electrode) and the anode (positively charged electrode) are in contact with the myocardium. Myocardial stimulation by the pacing stimulus typically occurs only at the interface with the cathode. This is because (i) given equal sized electrodes, anodal stimulation has a higher threshold compared t...

SJ. Effect of blood transfusion on long-term survival after cardiac operation. Transfusion in coronary artery bypass grafting is associated with reduced long-term survival. Schönberger JPAM et al. Transfusion of red blood cells: the impact on short-term and long-term survival after coronary artery bypass grafting, a ten-year follow-up.

The dependence of microlensing time scale frequency distributions and optical depth toward the galactic center on galactic model parameters is explored in detail for a distribution of stars consisting of the Zhao (1996) bar and nucleus and the Bahcall and Soneira (1980) double exponential disk. The high sensitivity of these two microlensing measures to the circular velocity model, velocity disp...

Recently the mean birth weight (MBW) of Japan is on the decrease. This phenomenon started in 1976 and continues up to the present as of 1988. Various factors accounting for this phenomenon have been considered and discussed by several researchers. They were interested in social, cultural and economic factors as well as factors influencing community health status. Although the above factors seem...
