There is paucity of information on MRSA in developing nations including the carriage by … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,100 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPriority and Random Selection for Dynamic Window Secured Implicit Geographic Routing in Wireless Sensor NetworkZurina Mohd Hanapi, Mahmod Ismail, Kasmiran JumariProblem statement: Sensor nodes are easily exposed to many attacks since it were deployed in unattended adversarial environment with no global addressing and used for critical applications such as battlefield surveillance and emergency response. While the sensor also needs to act as a router to relay a message to a required recipient, then this increased the vulnerabilities to a network … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,652 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhytoplankton Community of Elechi Creek, Niger Delta, Nigeria-A Nutrient-Polluted Tropical CreekO. A. Davies, J. F.N. Abowei, C. C. TawariProblem statement: Elechi Creek of the Upper Bonny Estuary in the Niger Delta contributes to the Rivers State Fish resources. It is a sink receiving organic anthropogenic wastes from Diobu, Eagle Island and waterfront dwellers of Diobu areas. Fishing, car washing, bathing, swimming and other human activities are constantly going on within and around this creek. Based on these activities, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,968 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of a 4th Generation-Cephalosporin Introduction upon the Incidence of Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria in a Non-Teaching HospitalGuilherme Henrique Campos Furtado, Luciana Baria Perdiz, Eduardo Alexandrino Servolo MedeirosProblem statement: Antimicrobial resistance is a worrisome situation in hospitals around the world and the misuse of certain classes of antimicrobials has contributed for this situation. Approach: We performed a prospective surveillance study on the incidence of multi-drug resistant bacteria before (phase 1) and after (phase 2) the introduction of a 4th-generation cephalosporin in a non-teaching hospital. Results: There was … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Chlamydophila abortus in Sheep (Ovis aries) in MexicoJuan Manuel Jiménez-Estrada, Marcos R. Escobedo-Guerra, Gabriel Arteaga-Troncoso et al.Chlamydophila abortus is one of the pathogens which induce abortion in small ruminants; this pathogen has a tropism for ruminant placenta and causes the disease commonly referred to as Ovine Enzootic Abortion (OEA). In Europe are estimated economic losses of around 20 million pounds a year by OEA. In the American Continent the disease has been reported only in Canada, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,887 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesizing Behavioral Model of Event-Based RequirementsSeyyed M. BabamirProblem Statement: in the software engineering field, satisfaction of user's requirements by software has been a matter of concern. Therefore, monitoring software behavior against user's high-level requirements has already received a considerable and significant attention. However, the gap between low-level software behavior and high-level requirements has put an obstacle in the way of monitoring. Approach: to overcome the obstacle, we … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,667 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of a Serum/Protein-Free Medium for the Growth of Mammalian Cell Lines and High Level Production of Classical, Variant and Very Virulent Strain of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV)Ane Franciele Tapparo, Paloma Oliveira Tonietti, Maria CecÍlia R. Luvizotto, Tereza C. CardosoThe aim of this study was to verify the capacity of IBDV strains, Lukert, F52/70 and very virulent Brazilian genotype (G11) to infect and replicate on cell culture maintained without serum or protein supplementation. BHK21 and CER cells were directed adapted to growth under absence of protein and/or fetal bovine serum with addition of 5 µg mL-1 of insulin-like growth … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,656 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Value of Serologic Tests for Diagnosis and Follow up of Patients having BrucellosisNidia E. Lucero, Sandra M. Ayala, Gabriela I. Escobar, N R. JacobThough diagnosis of human brucellosis is accurate when the causal agent is isolated, this procedure is not always successful and the most of patients are diagnosed on the basis of rising titres of antibodies in serum. The classical tests used for detection of antibodies to S-Brucella sp., include Rose Bengal (RBT), buffered plate antigen (BPAT), serum agglutination (SAT), 2-mercapto-ethanol (2MET) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,446 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Changing Pathology of NeuroAIDS Associated with Drug Abuse in the Era of HAARTE Bell Jeanne, C. Anthony Iain, Simmonds PeterCompliance with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) arrests HIV induced immune collapse and reduces the prevalence of severe central nervous system (CNS) complications, including HIV associated dementia and encephalitis. However minor cognitive disorders remain common and recent autopsy studies have demonstrated the presence of subtle neuropathological abnormalities in HAART treated individuals, including persistent neuroinflammation and enhanced deposition in the brain … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,872 accessesView PDFCite
