BACKGROUND Molecules expressed on the surface of infected erythrocytes (IE) with Plasmodium falciparum play important roles in malaria pathogenesis and immune evasion. Some of these molecules are specific adhesive ligands mediating adhesion of IE to the vascular endothelium. In the current study, the antigens exposed on the surface of IE with different isolates and various binding subpopulation...

OBJECTIVES Infective endocarditis (IE) is a severe complication in Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) and recent guidelines from the BSAC recommend all patients undergo echocardiography. We assessed the use of echocardiography at a major tertiary referral centre and sought to identify those patients most likely to have positive findings. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated all cases of ...

We characterized structural and functional attributes along hills lope gradients in headwater catchments. We endeavored to identify parameters that described significant transitions along the hills lope. On each of four catchments, we installed eight 50 m transects perpendicular to the stream. Structural attributes included woody and herbaceous vegetation; woody debris and forest floor mass, ni...

background:   primary bone lymphoma or non-hodgkin lymphoma of bone is a rare disease. there are only a few case series of stage ie of this condition in medical literature. the aim of this study is to determine the rate of survival   for stage ie after combined modality treatment, the rate of local recurrence, and the results of limb salvage in cases   of local recurrence.     methods:   we col...

Text Categorization (TC) and Information Extraction (IE) are two important goals of Natural Language Processing. While handcrafting rules for both tasks has a long tradition, learning approaches gained much interest in the past. In the present paper we try to provide a solid basis for the application of ILP methods to these learning problems. We propose to introduce three basic types (namely a ...

BACKGROUND The clinical implications of a negative multiplane transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) have not yet been reported. We aim to determine the negative predictive value (NPV) of a negative multiplane TEE in patients with suspected infective endocarditis (IE). METHODS AND RESULTS We identified 83 consecutive patients with suspected IE and negative multiplane TEE from our echocardiogr...

The present work reports on the corrosion inhibition property of compounds isolated from butanolic extract Date Palm leaves for low carbon steel in 15% HCl solution. Six were and purified using a combination column chromatography, thin layer Prep HPLC-MS system. characterized 1H NMR, 13C GC–MS. Their identity was revealed to be mixture fatty alkanes, oleanolic acid (OA), vanillyl alcohol (VA), ...

Purpose In several existing studies of Information Encountering (IE), a recurring sub-phenomenon serendipity arises that indicates the potential for certain unexpected encounters with information to be transformative. The author labels this Transformative (TIE), deriving its definition from an application Education (TE) theory understandings IE. This paper aims discuss librarians and archivists...

This paper presents a framework for implementing novel perfectly matching layer and infinite element (PML+IE) combination boundary condition unbounded elastic wave problems in the time domain. To achieve this, traditional hexahedral finite elements are used to model propagation inner domain IE test functions implemented exterior Two alternative implementations of PML formulation studied: case w...
