Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGene Expression of FADS2 mRNA Linked to Intelligence in Exclusively Breast Milk Fed PretermsNaglaa F. Alhusseini, Amal Idris Ali, Azza M.A. Abul-Fadl et al.Breastfeeding is important for brain development and was shown by many studies to result in higher scores Intelligent Quotient (IQ). However, the exact mechanism whereby Breastfeeding influences cognitive development remains unclear. This study aimed to study the expression of genetic code FADS2 linked to the cognitive function in relation to the mode of feeding. The study comprised 30 preterm infants … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 25 Nov 2014 · 6,857 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUTILITY OF A COMBINATION ANTIBIOGRAM FOR TREATING PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSALindsay Thurman, Nathan Fewel, Michael Rose, Eileen StockEmpiric combination antibiotic therapy is often used to treat severe P. aeruginosa infections. Combination antibiograms have been employed to assist clinicians in selecting the most effective two-drug antibiotic regimens. The objectives of this study were to develop a combination antibiogram in order to compare beta-lactam monotherapy versus dual-therapy with a fluoroquinolone or aminoglycoside, identify optimal combination regimens, describe the differences … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 16 Jun 2014 · 8,970 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMODELING AND SIMULATION OF FUZZY BASED AUTOMATIC INSULIN DELIVERY SYSTEMSunithaKarnam Anantha, Senthil Kumar Natarajan, Subransu Sekar DashThe aim is to design a complete online, automatic, intelligent and independent insulin delivery system. The proposed system calculates the amount of insulin by formulation based upon two linguistic factors i.e. weight and blood glucose levels. These factors have been used to develop a rule based fuzzy system in LabVIEW. The fuzziness brings a better regulation into the regime than … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 6 Aug 2013 · 6,623 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Extended-Spectrum β Lactamases and AmpC β-Lactamase Production in Escherichia coli Causing Urinary Tract Infection among HIV and Non-HIV PatientsPadmavathy Kesavaram, Padma Krishnan, Rajasekaran SikhamaniProblem statement: Opportunistic infections have been documented as a leading cause of morbidity among HIV patients. Gram negative pathogens that elaborate beta-lactamases have been reported to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality, especially amongst immunocompromised patients on intensive care and high-dependency units. The most common mechanism of β-lactam drug resistance in Escherichia coli include ESBL, AmpC production. Approach: In … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 18 Aug 2011 · 7,834 accessesView PDF Cite
