Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating disease of the central nervous system. Usually, long-term MS medications are injected intramuscularly or subcutaneously, making them intolerable for many MS patients. Objectives: In the present study, the rate and the causes of non-adherence to MS disease-modifying drugs (DMDs) were assessed in patients with MS. Materials and Methods: Two ...

Location of the double-bond position of monounsaturated fatty acids in Campylobacter cryaerophila was accomplished with combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) derivatives. The monoenoic fatty acids from whole bacterial cells were converted to methyl esters and then to DMDS adducts and analyzed by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The ma...

Position is an extremely important parameter for each node in most of applications using wireless sensor work (WSN). In this paper, a new distributed localization (DMDS-GC) algorithm is proposed based on the multidimensional scaling (MDS) technique and the geometric correction technique. In DMDS-GC, the entire network is split into several localization clusters (LCs) with sufficient common node...

Location of the double-bond position of monounsaturated fatty acids of Aerococcus viridans was accomplished by combined gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry analysis of dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) derivatives. The monoenoic fatty acids from whole bacterial cells were converted to methyl esters and then to DMDS adducts and analyzed by capillary GC-mass spectrometry. The mass spectra of DMDS a...

Organosulfur compounds (OSCs) are naturally emitted via various processes involving phytoplankton and algae in marine regions, from animal metabolism, and from biomass decomposition inland. These compounds are malodorant and reactive. Their oxidation to methanesulfonic and sulfuric acids leads to the formation and growth of atmospheric particles, which are known to influence clouds and climate,...

background: disease-modifying drugs (dmds) are a significant expenditure for treating multiple sclerosis (ms). however, there is limited report on assessment of the cost-utility of dmds compared with symptom management in the presence of long-term data. this study aimed to assess the lifetime cost-utility from the iranian healthcare perspectives of 4dmds relative to symptom management alone in ...

The prevention and control of root-knot nematode disease is a worldwide challenge there are not many varieties pesticides for control. To meet the huge market demand, development new nematicides urgently needed. lethal effects soil fumigant dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) mixed with chemical compounds copper sulfate (CuSO4) ammonium bicarbonate (NH4HCO3) on Meloidogyne incognita were tested using imm...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) has a profound impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), a comprehensive subjective measure of the patient's health status. Assessment of HRQoL informs on the potential advantages and disadvantages of disease-modifying drugs (DMDs) beyond their effects on observer-based disability and magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities. This article reviews published data f...

The treatment of sulfur odorous compounds in mixture, Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) and ethanethiol (EtSH), by biofiltration was examined. A significant effort was focused on the impact of nutrients supply, without forgetting the effect of other parameters such as the pH, on the process performances. Removal efficiencies of three biofilters packed with pine bark and composte...
