Background: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an iatrogenic complication that occurs in the luteal phase of an induced hormonal cycle. The aim of this study is to assess the association of herbal regimes and OHSS. Materials and Methods: This is a clinical trial study. 110 married patients were referred to Dr. Rasekh clinic from Aug 2011 to Nov 2012. All patients had a vaginal ultrasou...

The Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte-binding antigen 175 (EBA-175) is a ligand for merozoite invasion into human erythrocytes that binds to glycophorin A in a sialic acid-dependent manner. P. falciparum strain W2mef depends on sialic acid for invasion of erythrocytes, whereas 3D7 is sialic acid-independent. We generated parasites that lack expression or express truncated forms of EBA-175 in W2...

We examined the activity of CB-181963, a novel cephalosporin, against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (n = 200), methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) (n = 50), glycopeptide-intermediate Staphylococcus species (GISS) (n = 47), and VRSA (n = 2) isolates. CB-181963 exhibited MIC profiles similar to those of linezolid against MRSA and GISS; however, activity against MSSA was ...

Automotive is requesting engine control IC to operate in 145°C ambient. Power Gold technology can allow ICs to operate hotter. Since more power dissipates from molded package and across FR4 board with ICs at 175°C Tj-max instead of at present 125°C or 150°C, Power Au technology enhances power product. Continuous, reliable 175°C Tjmax operation is achieved with Power Au. Top silicon metallizatio...

In his classic book The Hidden Persuaders, Vance Packard claimed that large corporations manipulated consumers, using advertising techniques. John Kenneth Galbraith and others have repeated a similar view. Against this, Gary Becker and George Stigler have claimed that advertising is essentially informative rather than manipulative. In contrast, it is argued here that both of these opposed accou...
