INTRODUCTION Many tuberculosis (TB) patients have resistance patterns intermediate between multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR). We defined MDR+ as resistance to rifampin (RMP), isoniazid (INH) and at least one more drug other than fluoroquinolone (FQ) and second-line injectable agent (IA); and Pre-XDR as MDR with additional resistance to either FQ or IA. Such patients...

We discuss the use of following greedy algorithms in prediction multivariate time series: Matching Pursuit Algorithm (MPA), Orthogonal (OMP), Relaxed (RMP), Frank–Wolfe (FWA) and Constrained (CMP). The last two are known to be solvers for lasso problem. Some well-known (e.g. OMP), while others less popular RMP). provide a unified presentation all algorithms, evaluate their computational complex...

Rifampin, an antibiotic widely used for the treatment of mycobacterial infections, produceshepatic, renal and bone marrow toxicity in human and animals. In this study, the protectiveeffects of vitamin C and n-acetylcysteine (NAC) on the toxicity of rifampin on HepG2 cellswere investigated.Human hepatoma cells (HepG2) were cultured in 96-well M of rifampin in the presence ofmicroplate and expose...

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-dependent ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase (EC 2.7.7.6) isolated from a rifampin-sensitive strain of Mycobacterium smegmatis was 90% inhibited by 1 mug of rifampin per ml; enzyme from a rifampin-resistant mutant was not affected by this concentration of antibiotic. Inhibition of phenylalanine-1-(14)C incorporation by rifampin in growing cultures was complete about 6...

This work investigates the feasibility of utilizing reactive recycled powder (RP) from construction and demolition (C&D) waste as supplementary cementitious material (SCM) to achieve a ductile strain hardening composites (SHCC). The mortar (RMP) waste, concrete (RCP) brick (RBP) clay were first prepared, micro-properties tensile behavior SHCC containing various types replacement ratios RPs dete...

This report traces the history of India’s centrifuge enrichment program and assesses its current and projected enrichment capacity based on publicly available procurement data and other publicly available information, which were analyzed using specialized software. Our conclusion is that India is currently operating between 2,000 and 3,000 centrifuges at the Rare Materials Project (RMP), India’...

In January 2007, the CHMP adopted the Guideline on influenza vaccines prepared from viruses with the potential to cause a pandemic and intended for use outside of the core dossier context (EMEA/CHMP/VWP/263449/2006). This guideline includes a chapter related to post-approval commitments and risk management planning. It recommends that the following information should be provided in the Risk Man...
