Introduction: Into the aftermath

Introduction to gene therapy: a clinical aftermath.

Despite three decades of huge progress in molecular genetics, in cloning of disease causative gene as well as technology breakthroughs in viral biotechnology, out of thousands of gene therapy clinical trials that have been initiated, only very few are now reaching regulatory approval. We shall review some of the major hurdles, and based on the current either positive or negative examples, we tr...

Aftermath

fective. For example, we have published work that demonstrates that patient-to-patient transmission is important for colonization acquisition of ESBL-producing Klebsiella spp. and Escherichia coli (5). We believe that a couple of points require clarifi cation. In our article, we looked at risk factors for colonization with ESBL-producing bacteria on admission to an intensive care unit. We did n...

The Pattern of Caspian Sea Water Penetration Into Anzali Wetland: Introduction of a Salt Wedge

Measuring salinity of water at different depths along six transacts at the mouth of the wetland and along five tributaries connecting the wetland to the sea the extent of Caspian Sea penetration into Anzali Wetland was determined. The results demonstrated a depth-dependent salinity gradient extending up to 10 kilometres into the wetland. A pattern of saltwater and freshwater interface is presen...
