Development of antibiotic resistance in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) is a worldwide problem. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of an antibiotic stewardship program (ASP) by carbapenems restriction on gram-negative antimicrobial resistance in ICU. The study was designed in a 21 bedded general ICU of a teaching hospital with two wings (one and two) in Tehran, Iran. Carbapenem pr...

ascorbic acid (vitamin c) supplementation has been documented as a useful tool to improve the performance of laying birds reared under harsh environmental conditions. however, there is limited information on the use of ascorbic acid as a means of ameliorating the stressful conditions imposed by feed restriction. to this effect a 3 × 2 factorial experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect ...

in this study, the effects of late gestational undernutrition (lgu) on plasma concentration of insulin-like growth factor 1 (igf-i), leptin, insulin and glucose in subsequent sucking lambs was investigated. ten twin-bearing ewes were fed either restrictedly (restricted) or adequately (control) during the last six weeks of gestation and were fed ad libitum after parturition. blood samples were t...

Restriction Site Mapping is one of the interesting tasks in Computational Biology. A DNA strand can be thought of as a string on the letters A, T, C, and G. When a particular restriction enzyme is added to a DNA solution, the DNA is cut at particular restriction sites. The goal of the restriction site mapping is to determine the location of every site for a given enzyme. In partial digest metho...
