A variety of bacteria have been used as agents and vectors for antineoplastic therapy. A series of mechanisms, including native bacterial toxicity, sensitization of the immune system and competition for nutrients, may contribute to antitumor effects. However, the antitumor effects of Proteus species have been minimally studied, and it is not clear if bacteria can alter tumor hypoxia as a compon...

The main feature of this case is a bilateral purulent sterno-clavicular arthritis, which was secondary to umbilical infection. The case is described in view of the rarity of Proteus vulgaris infections of this type. The umbilicus is a frequent site of entrance of pyogenic infection in the neonatal period, and the full development ofsuch an infection may manifest itself in many ways, inchlding j...

This paper explores the use of Proteus, an architecture-independent language suitable for prototyping time-sensitive parallel and distributed programs. Proteus is a high-level imperative notation based on sets and sequences with succinct yet powerful constructs for the parallel composition of processes communicating through shared memory. Several di erent parallel algorithms for N-body simulati...

This paper describes the design, implementation, and a performance evaluation of a Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) system called Proteus which aims to support dynamic node reconfiguration. Proteus allows users to shorten the execution time of their DSM programs by dynamically adding nodes to the system. Furthermore, competition for resource between system users and computer owners can be avoide...

BACKGROUND Proteus syndrome is a very rare condition with less than 100 confirmed cases reported worldwide. We report a case of Proteus syndrome in a two-year-old male who has hemophilia A comorbidity. CASE PRESENTATION A two-year-old male patient was admitted with the chief complaint of severe bleeding in mouth cavity after trauma for two weeks. At admission he was found to have petechiae on...

OBJECTIVES To show molecular similarity between two sequences of Proteus mirabilis (haemolysin--ESRRAL; urease--IRRET) with HLA-DR antigens (EQRRAA) which are associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and type XI collagen (LRREI), respectively; and, in patients with RA, to measure levels of antibody against a 16-mer synthetic peptide containing the ESRRAL sequence, and the haemolysin and urease...

The present study deals with the isolation and identification of intestinal bacteria from Common carp Cyprinus carpio. and its effect on growth performance. Six experimental feeds such as Fl control (without probiotics), F2 (1ml of Proteus spp.), F3 (2ml of Proteus spp.), F4 (3ml Proteus spp.), F5 (4 ml of Proteus spp.), and F6 (1ml of yeast). Where prepared by using fish meal, Ground nut oil c...

ProTeus (PROtein TErminUS) is a web-based tool for the identification of short linear signatures in protein termini. It is based on a position-based search method for revealing short signatures in termini of all proteins. The initial step in ProTeus development was to collect all signature groups (SIGs) based on their relative positions at the termini. The initial set of SIGs went through a seq...
