Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMembrane Binding Activity with Virus in White Spot Syndrome Virus-Infected Fenneropenaeus chinensisLiu Qing-hui, Huang Jie, Chen Ting, Yang BingProblem statement: White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) is one of the most disastrous pathogens in shrimp culture, having caused high mortality in many cultured shrimp species. It is well known that the most important step of viral infection is cell attachment. Approach:Therefore determining the binding activity of shrimp cells to WSSV is an important to evaluate anti-infection ability and understanding … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,496 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Severity of Mitral Valvular Regurgitation with Doppler Echocardiography Using Proximal Flow Convergence MethodPinjari Abdul Khayum, M.N. Giriprasad, P.V. SrideviProblem statement: Valvular regurgitation is recognized as the central cause of morbidity and mortality. Even though the clinician can detect the presence of regurgitation by mere physical examination; diagnostic methods become inevitable while estimating the severity of valvular regurgitation and in the transformation of cardiac chambers as in reaction to the volume overload condition. Lately, a promising new technology, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,220 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Stress Analysis of the Arterial Wall Utilizing Physiological Pressure WaveformsM.M. Khani, M. Tafazzoli-Shadpour, S. Delavarpour et al.Arterial diseases, promoted by alterations in arterial wall properties, are among the main causes of mortality. Mechanical stresses of the arterial wall caused by pulsatile luminal pressure define arterial function in normal and pathological conditions. This study aims to determine dynamic stress distribution in the arterial wall subjected to physiological pressure waveforms. Finite element models of a typical artery are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAT1-IR-beta Association: A New Mechanism for the Inhibition of Insulin Receptor Function in Breast CancerLakshmi Pulakat, Ravindra Kolhe, Nara GaviniEpidemiological evidence show that increased mortality in breast cancer is linked to hypertension and insulin resistance. Because Angiotensin II (Ang II), a hormone implicated in hypertension and insulin resistance, is a normal mitogen for breast tissue and elevated expression of the Ang II receptor AT1 is seen in breast cancer, we analyzed the effects of Ang II exposure on the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,016 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCurrent Approaches for the Prevention of Surgical Site InfectionsSander Florman, Ronald Lee NicholsSurgical site infections (SSIs) are the most common type of nosocomial infection among surgical patients and are commonly caused by the patients’ own microbial flora. The prevalence of SSI is a major concern because of the associated increase in the incidence of morbidity and mortality, length of hospitalization and cost of care for postoperative patients. Key factors that determine whether … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,824 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) from Mediterranean to Sub-Saharan AreasRosa Chillemi, Andrea Angius, Ivana Persico et al.There are differences in the allele frequency of MTHFR polymorphism between Western and African population. The aim of this study is to determinate the prevalence of MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms in young and old people living in different areas from Mediterranean to sub-Saharan areas. The observed vs expected genotype frequencies of 677T were in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, with the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,590 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Case-Control Study of Effect of Opium Addiction on Myocardial InfarctionBehzad Azimzade-Sarwar, Gholamreza Yousefzade, Shahin NarooeyIschemic Heart Disease (IHD) and Myocardial Infarction (MI) are one of the most important disease which cause mortality and morbidity. Opioid peptides and exogenous opioid such as morphine are known to exert an important cardiovascular effect. To study effect of opium addiction to incidence of MI. A Case-Control study was designed in Kerman university. 150 patients with MI was admitted … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 7,208 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncreased Production of Nitric Oxide Contributes to Renal Oxidative Stress in Endotoxemic RatBahar Tunçtan, Belma Korkmaz, Hatice Yıldırım et al.Overproduction of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species leads to oxidative stress and decreased total antioxidant capacity, which is responsible for high mortality from several diseases such as endotoxic shock. Nitric oxide (NO) produced by inducible NO synthase (iNOS) during endotoxemia is the major cause of vascular hyporeactivity, hypotension and multiple organ failure. In this study, we investigated whether increased production … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 8,638 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReview of Pasteurella Multocida Infections over a Twelve-Year Period in a Tertiary Care HospitalAthanasia Christidou, Sofia Maraki, Zoe Gitti, Yiannis TselentisThe aim of this study was to present the epidemiological, clinical and microbiological data, as well as the management and the outcome of 13 patients with documented Pasteurella multocida infections, diagnosed in the University hospital of Crete, Greece, between 1993 and 2004. Most patients (62%) were >70 years of age. Respiratory tract infections were most commonly encountered (61.5%), followed by … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,996 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractERCP Related SepsisIffet Palabıyıkoglu, Emin Tekelı, Derya Aysev et al.Endoscopic procedures performed worldwide have increased considerably in recent years. In addition to diagnosis, many cases previously necessitating surgery now often can be carried out by endoscopic techniques. However, endoscopy has introduced its own infection risk. Most reports of gastrointestinal endoscopy-associated infection describe sepsis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with biliary tract obstruction. During this study, which was … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,016 accessesView PDFCite
