AIM To describe ocular manifestations in newly diagnosed borderline lepromatous (BL) and lepromatous leprosy (LL) patients in India. METHODS Ocular complications, at enrolment, occurring in all new borderline lepromatous and lepromatous leprosy patients detected by active case finding within the geographically defined leprosy endemic area of the Gudiyattam Taluk in India from 1991 to 1997 who...

BACKGROUND: American College of Chest Physicians’ (CHEST) new Living Guidelines Model will not only provide clinicians with guidance based on the most clinically relevant and current science but will also allow expert-informed guidance to fi ll in any gaps in the existing evidence. Th ese guidance documents will be updated, as necessary, using one or more of three processes: (1) evidence-based ...

Nowadays specialists on optimization observe the persistent demands from the world of applications to create an effective apparatus for finding just a global solution to nonconvex problems in which there may exist local solutions located very far from a global one even up to the values of goal function. As well-known, the conspicuous limitation of convex optimization methods applied to nonconve...

Estuaries in the tropical Gulf of Carpentaria (GOC) Australia are under increasing pressure from catchment water development, potentially affecting productivity. We examined potential effect changes freshwater inputs on primary productivity three estuaries (Flinders, Gilbert and Mitchell Rivers). The addition nutrients stimulated mudflat production all at multiple sampling times, suggesting chr...

Observations from the 2004 North American Monsoon Experiment (NAME) have been used to identify an atmospheric internal bore that occurred over the Gulf of California (GoC) on 31 July 2004. This bore disturbance was identified at Bahia Kino along the northwest coast of Mexico during the late evening of 31 July. It was hypothesized to have originated from the interaction of a gravity current from...

COVID-19 is an acute respiratory illness in humans caused by a coronavirus, capable of producing severe symptoms and, some cases, death, especially older people and those with underlying health conditions. It was originally identified China 2019 became pandemic 2020. On 6 March 2020, Cameroon recorded its first cases infection COVID-19. The Government (GOC) took 13 barrier measures on 18 1 May ...

In this study, nano graphene oxide (NGO) was synthesized by modified Hummer's method, the functionalization surface of amino acid (methionine, cysteine) covalent NGO with group using microwave 20% power (140 W) and characterization Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), field emission scanning electronic microscopy (FESEM). The calculated par...

Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is considered an odontogenic cyst of developmental origin, which because of its histological features had been termed sialo-odontogenic cyst. Although clinically and radiologically they bear similarity to relatively innocuous periapical lesions, their biological behavior is comparable to aggressive tumor-like conditions-like keratocystic odontogenic tumors. Thei...

Fourteen different agroresidues were screened for alpha amylase production using Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ATCC 23842. Among them, wheat bran (WB) and groundnut oil cake (GOC) in mass ratio of 1:1 was proved as the best substrate source. Supplementation with 0.01 M KH2PO4 and 1 % soluble starch enhanced the enzyme yield considerably. Maximum enzyme recovery from the solid mass was obtained whe...
