BACKGROUND The purposes of this study were to investigate the clinical outcomes of enterococcal bacteriuria and to determine whether current management is adherent to Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines. METHODS We conducted a retrospective medical record review of patients from 2 academic teaching hospitals for 3 months (September 1 through November 30, 2009). Patients were cla...

Immunosuppressant peptide immunocortin for the first time was described in 1993. It corresponds to residues 11-20 of human Ig heavy chain (conserved motif of VH domain). There are no data about production of immunocortin by proteolysis of Ig in vivo. Synthetic immunocortin in concentration ~ 10-9 M suppresses phagocytosis in peritoneal macrophages, ConA-dependent blast transformation of rat lym...

Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 is essential for the defense against infection with gram-negative pathogens, but reduced TLR4 expression has not been linked to altered disease susceptibility in humans. In mice, Tlr4 controls the mucosal response to Escherichia coli urinary tract infections. Inactivation of mouse Tlr4 causes an asymptomatic carrier state resembling asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU). The...

Ruang lingkup ushul fiqh menurut al-Ghazali dan al-Syatibi, tidak terlalu banyak berbeda. Terkecuali hanya kajian maqashid al-syari’ah ringkasan dalil-dalil syari’ah (al-adillah al-Syari’iyyah) oleh asy-Syatibi. Namun demikian, ada kemungkinan asy-Syatibi merupakan penjabaran konsep ishtishlah al-Ghazali. Yakni, syari’at itu diturunkan dengan tujuan untuk melindungi agama, jiwa, akal, keluarga ...

It has been recently pointed out by Arkani-Hamed and Dimopoulos that if the universe is a landscape of vacua, and if therefore fine-tuning is not a valid guidance principle for searching for physics beyond the standard model, supersymmetric unification only requires the fermionic superpartners. We argue that in that landscape scenario, the fermionic superpartners are not needed for unification,...

Petrological and geochemical examination of Upper Cretaceous chalks from the Abu Roash area and Bahariya Oasis (Egypt) provide insights into factors which control porosity development in fine-grained calcitic carbonates. Petrological studies indicate that primary skeletal fabrics of coccoliths and foraminifera in micrites of Abu Roash are well preserved. In contrast, primary skeletal fabrics of...
