Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesLow-Birth Weight and Pre-Term Delivery in Relation to Lopinavir/Ritonavir Use in PregnancyJorge Senise, Reisson Cruz, Ricardo Palacios et al.The toxic potential of nevirapine in pregnant women with CD4 count over 250 cells mm-3 and the unsatisfactory efficacy of nelfinavir in patients with baseline Viral Load (VL) over 100,000 copies mL-1 has prompted the use of Lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) in selected situations. This study aims to assess safety of LPV/r in pregnancy. Medical records from pregnant women receiving LPV/r were … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,957 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesOn a Problem Connected with Navier-stokes Equations in Non Cylindrical DomainsJ. Limaco, S. B. de Menezes, C. Vaz, J. F. MontenegroIn this study we showed the existence of weak solutions of equations that represent flows of a non-homogeneous viscous incompressible fluids in a non cylindrical domain in R3 . The classical Navier-stokes equation is a particular case of the equations here considered. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,615 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesProsthetic Knee Mechanism Using a Double Locking System as a Safety MeasureEicarl Saynes Vazquez, Esther Lugo GonzálezThe design of a four-link knee prosthesis mechanism with two locking systems activated during the flexion/extension phase is presented. The first is geometric, totally mechanical and activated by the user's weight. The second is variable and is activated automatically when walking on irregular or special surfaces is required. The links' dimensions were selected using the differential evolutionary optimization algorithm to … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2024 · 5,706 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesTime-Driven Activity-Based Costing in the Public Sector. The Case of Greek General Chemical State Laboratory under the Greek CrisisAthanasios Vazakidis, Eleftheria KyriakidouThe international globalized environment and the financial crisis have generated new demands with internals (citizens-users) and externals (creditors) pressuring the governments to control public spending and improve efficiency in the supply of public goods/services. The control of the public sector costs seems more important now, in the context of the financial and fiscal crisis of 2008. Activity Based Costing (ABC) … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 4 Mar 2020 · 7,954 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesOverview of Klebsiella Pneumoniae as a Nosocomial Pathogen and ESBL Producing Strains in IranFariba Akrami, Amirmorteza Ebrahimzadeh Namvar, Iman Vazife SirzariKlebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most important human bacterial pathogens with an extensive range of community and hospital acquired infections that may lead to morbidity and mortality. Evaluating the prevalence and epidemic sources of infections and the pathogenicity mechanism of bacteria can be investigated by various typing methods. The emergence of multi-drug resistant strains and extended-spectrum ß-lactamase (ESBL) producing … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 11 Mar 2019 · 7,893 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the author namesComparison of Green Roof Model Predictions with Experimental DataSergio Quezada-García, Manuela Azucena Escobedo-Izquierdo, Juan José Ambriz-García et al.In this study, the results of a green roof model are presented and compared with experimental data. Good agreement between simulation and experiment were found for different experimental conditions that were carried out in a controlled environment laboratory. The study of green roof heat transfer processes is important because it allows a better thermal design in buildings; the use of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 14 Jul 2015 · 7,228 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesCirculation of Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) and Extensively Drug-Resistant (XDR) Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Strains in MexicoCarlos A. Vazquez-Chacon, Armando Martinez-Guarneros, Susana Balandrano Campos et al.Emergence of Extensively Drug-Resistant (XDR) Tuberculosis (TB) is an important public health problem worldwide. In Mexico, the extent of circulation of XDR-TB strains is unknown. Here, the drug-resistance patterns of TB isolates collected in Mexico between 2006 and 2008 were analyzed. Among 137 TB isolates, (58%) were classified as MDR exclusively, (33%) were Pre-XDR and (9%) were assigned as XDR. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 7 Jan 2015 · 7,424 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesHeat Transfer Numerical Analysis of a Thermochemical Solar ReactorA. Vázquez-Rodríguez, J. R. Varela-Ham, R. Avalos-Zuñiga et al.In this study a 2D transient temperature distribution in a one-dimensional thermochemical solar reactor of gas-particles is presented. The gas-particles medium is contained in a reactor where an endothermic chemical reaction of some oxide-metal at high temperature is expected to be occurred. The reactor receives the concentrated solar power on the reactor walls, or directly to the gas-particles medium. As … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 6 Jan 2015 · 6,809 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesANTIOBESITY EFFECTS OF HUMAN SOLUBLE LEPTIN IN MICE NOURISHED WITH A HIGH-FAT/HIGH FRUCTOSE DIETB. Chimal-Vega, N. Paniagua-Castro, J. C. Perez-Rebollar et al.Leptin is a hormone that regulates energy balance. Since its discovery two decades ago, several efforts have been made to fully understand its role in metabolic regulation of feeding behavior, reproduction, glucose homeostasis, immune function, bone formation, lipid metabolism, among others. Its use as a therapeutic option in obese patients is still limited due to the syndrome known as Leptin … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 9 Jul 2014 · 7,388 accessesView PDFCite
