BACKGROUND It is generally accepted that gastric carcinomas are preceded by a sequential multistage process that includes chronic gastritis, gastric atrophy, usually with intestinal metaplasia (IM), and dysplasia. This series of changes in gastric carcinogenesis is often initiated by Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection. The aim of the present study was determination of gastric histopatholo...

this study investigated the status of mechanized power and self-propelled rice cultivation machinery in guilan province in northern iran. the raw data was obtained from 2013 statistics of the agricultural jihad organization of guilan province. power per unit of area, mechanization level, area per unit of self-propelled machinery, and mechanization requirement were calculated for eastern, wester...

BackgroundLao People’s Democratic Republic has frequent outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPD). This study aimed to determine susceptibility and exposure VPD in Saravan, a rural province with high ethnic diversity some the poorest health indicators nationwide.MethodsPatients from three district hospitals one provincial hospital were enrolled. Serum was tested by ELISA for IgG against h...

Won{Gil Park [Won{Gil Park, J. Math. Anal. Appl., 376 (1) (2011) 193{202] proved the Hyers{Ulam stability of the Cauchy functional equation, the Jensen functional equation and the quadraticfunctional equation in 2{Banach spaces. One can easily see that all results of this paper are incorrect.Hence the control functions in all theorems of this paper are not correct. In this paper, we correctthes...

AIM To study the patients with low gradient ascites in hospitals of Guilan Province (northern Iran). METHODS Patients admitted in hospitals of Guilan Province with low gradient ascites from 1993 to 2000 were enrolled in the study. Serum and ascitic fluid albumin levels were determined by biochemical reactions. The serum-ascitic albumin gradient (SAAG) less than 1.1 g/dL was considered low. St...

American trypanosomiasis is a common zoonosis in Colombia and Trypanosoma cruzi presents a wide distribution throughout the country. Although some studies based on enzyme electrophoresis profiles have described the population structure of the parasite, very few molecular analyses of genotipic markers have been conducted using Colombian strains. In this study, we amplified the non-transcribed sp...

We review our progress in high-performance model checking. Our multi-core model checker is based on a scalable hash-table design and parallel random-walk traversal. Our symbolic model checker is based on Multiway Decision Diagrams and the saturation strategy. The LTSmin tool is based on the PINS architecture, decoupling model checking algorithms from the input specification language. Consequent...
