OBJECTIVE To identify serotypes and susceptibility of S. pneumoniae strains from 48 children with invasive infections and 50 carriers. MATERIAL AND METHODS Typing was performed by the Quellung reaction and susceptibility by Kirby-Bauer and Etest according to CLSI standards. RESULTS Of 31 meningeal strains, serotypes 19F, 3, 6B, 14 and 23F were predominant. Resistance to penicillin and STX w...

We investigate the detection of a pseudoscalar φ that couples electromagnetically via an interaction 1 4 gφF F̃ . In particular, we focus on the conversion of pseudoscalars produced in the sun’s interior in the presence of the sun’s external magnetic dipole field and sunspotrelated magnetic fields. We find that the sunspot approach is superior. Measurements by the SXT on the Yohkoh satellite can...

As the causative agent of cholera, the bacterium Vibrio cholerae represents an enormous public health burden, especially in developing countries around the world. Cholera is a self-limiting illness; however, antibiotics are commonly administered as part of the treatment regimen. Here we review the initial identification and subsequent evolution of antibiotic-resistant strains of V. cholerae. An...

Clinical strains of Enterobacter were isolated from Cumana's Central Hospital in Venezuela, and classified as E. cloacae (21), E. aerogenes (7), E. intermedium (1), E. sakazakii (1) and three unclassified. The strains showed high levels of resistance, especially to SXT (58.1%), CRO (48.8%), CAZ (46.6%), PIP (46.4%), CIP (45.2%) and ATM (43.3%). This is the first report for South America of blaV...

(CCFT-SXT). Correlation of these two three-dimensional datasets was performed using fiducial markers visible in both modalities. The Xi was identified in each cell by its strong enrichment in a fluorescently-labeled histone variant, macroH2A-EGFP. We present the overall topology, compaction profile, and volume occupied by the Xi in interphase nuclei. Physical contacts with nucleoli and the nucl...

Kilovoltage (kV) radiotherapy, also called superficial radiotherapy (SXT) or orthovoltage (DXT), is a well-known and effective treatment option for non-melanoma skin cancer some benign musculoskeletal conditions. Given its surface dose delivery, use in radiation oncology beyond cancers generally limited, but it has been shown to be extremely useful specific palliative applications. Here, we des...

Coronal structure of active regions appearing in coronal holes is studied by using the data obtained with the Soft X-Ray Telescope (SXT) aboard Yohkoh from 1991 November to 1993 March. The following characteristics are found; Many of active regions appearing in coronal holes show a structure that looks like a “sea-anemone”. Such active regions are called anemone ARs. About oneforth of all activ...
