Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInsertion of poly (ethylene glycol)-lipid reduces the liposome-encapsulated hemoglobininduced thrombocytopenic reactionVibhudutta Awasthi, Beth Goins, William T. PhillipsInteraction with platelets has been recognized as a concern in the development of liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin as an oxygen carrier. This reaction causes a significant drop in circulating platelets in a rapid and transient fashion. We studied the effect of lipid bilayer charge on the magnitude of drop in circulating platelets. We also investigated the effect of post-inserted PEG-lipid on this … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,377 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSensitization of Photohemolysis by a New Extraction from Flowers and Aerial Parts of Cichorium Pumilum Jacq: Effects of Inulin and Hydrogen PeroxideM-Ali H. Al-Akhras, Amr Amin, Karima Mohammad et al.Addition of inulin and hydrogen peroxide to new photosensitizers extracted from the flowers and aerial parts of the chicory (Cichorium Pumilum Jacq) have been investigated. Some of the isolated photosensitizers remain unidentified compounds. Chicory extracts are found to be dependent on light and temperature. Higher photohemolysis rate was noticed under the influence of light as compared to temperature. The effect … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,716 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMAEST :Multi-Agent Environment for Software TestingRamdane Maamri, Zaidi SahnounThe test is a significant aspect of software development and plays a considerable role in detecting errors in the implementation phase. As the software becomes more pervasive and more often employed to achieve critical tasks, it will be increasingly required to be of high quality. Significant reductions in the cost of software development and software maintenance could be achieved if … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,180 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation of Aorta Artery Aneurysms Using Active Electronic CircuitKamran Hassani, Mahdi Navidbakhsh, Mostafa RostamiThe fusiform and saccular aneurysms in different aorta artery sections were studied using an electronic circuit of cardiovascular system. The geometrical model of each artery section including thoracic and abdominal were generated in accordance with original anatomical data. By increasing the rate of aneurysm in each studied section, the pressure drop were calculated using CFD method, furthermore the compliance variations … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,235 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Acute-phase Reactants, Immunologic Markers and other Clinical and Laboratory Parameters in Patients with Pneumonia and Non-pneumonic Lower Respiratory Tract InfectionsJulio Collazos, María del Mar Martínez, Fernando IzquierdoMore efficacious tools to distinguish pneumonia from other acute lower respiratory tract infections (OALRTI) in facilities where radiologic studies are not easily or rapidly available are desirable to select the patients who should undergo chest radiographs, to avoid unnecessary visits to the emergency wards of hospitals and to optimize health resources. To this end we analyzed the relevance of many … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,083 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 abstractSuccessful Treatment of Both Mother and Infant in Pregnancy-Associated Group A Streptococcal Toxic Shock SyndromeTakayuki Tanaka, Kousaku Matsubara, Yumiko Umemoto et al.All perinatal cases of group A streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) previously documented in English literature have been fatal for the mother, the fetus or both. We present the first report of successful treatment of a mother-infant pair with perinatal STSS. A pregnant woman developed STSS at 34 weeks’ gestation 3 h after delivery, following a 25-h history of fever … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,089 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Issues in Jordan, Solutions and RecommendationsNidal A. Hadadin, Zeyad S. TarawnehJordan’s natural resources are limited to support population in a sustainable manner. However, its environment is exposed to a number of threats. In order to best explain Jordan’s environmental difficulties, it would be prudent to focus individually on each of these major concerns: water shortages, agriculture/land and air pollution. This study focuses on the environmental problems in Jordan and has … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 10,104 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards an Exclusion Mutual Tolerant Algorithm to FailuresM. Senouci, A. Liazid, D. BenhamamouchThe distributed algorithmic is widely used in various economic and industrial fields as finance, medical, industry, telecommunication. New technologies are increasing rapidly. From now on, applications must associate two conditions: auto-execution on heterogeneous grid computers, on the one hand and on the other hand, satisfaction of the temporal and safety constraints. Hence this paper deals with performing an algorithm based … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 6,726 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplications of Real-time Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction in Clinical Virology Laboratories for the Diagnosis of Human DiseasesR. Manojkumar, V. MrudulaEarly diagnosis that prevents further expansion of the causative agent and thereby aids control and eradication of infectious agents is critical for countries trying to obtain a particular disease free status. In these diagnostics speed is paramount, including the assay’s applicability, sensitivity, specificity, cost effectiveness and patentability. Real-time Reverse Transcription PCR (rRT-PCR) has revolutionized the field of molecular biology and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,553 accessesView PDFCite
