We investigated prevalence of lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) among men who have sex with men who were tested for chlamydia at 12 clinics in the United Kingdom during 10 weeks in 2012. Of 713 men positive for Chlamydia trachomatis, 66 (9%) had LGV serovars; 15 (27%) of 55 for whom data were available were asymptomatic.

Recent studies have shown that cyclosporin A (CsA) may affect ricin A-chain immunotoxin (RTA-IT) therapy. In this study, we evaluated the ability of CsA and its nonirnmunosuppressive analog. SDZ PSC 833, to enhance anti-CD5 T l O l RTA-ITS in vitro. Both 4 pmol/L CsA and 4 pmol/L SDZ PSC 833 significantly and specifically enhanced the cytotoxic activity of T101 RTA-IT on the human lymphoblastic...

We describe the epidemiology of Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) among San Francisco County Jail inmates using APTIMA TV analyte-specific reagents on remnant urine. We detected TV in 15/713 (2.1%) men and 95/297 (32.0%) women. Among women, increased age was significantly associated with TV. The benefits of TV screening should be determined.

cryptosporidium is an ubiqutous enteric protozoan parasite that infects a wide range of vertebrate hosts. in humans and many other mammals, cryptosporidium is recognized as a significant pathogen primarily as a cause of acute, severe diarrheal illness. at this investigation animal samples (stool) were collected from 708 heads of lambs (in the beginning of the birth to three months) and 713 head...

The prognostic features of T1N0M0 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in Asian patients have not been well explored in large sample studies. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the records of 713 patients undergoing nephrectomy for T1N0M0 RCC between 1991 and 2009 in three Asian hospitals. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to identify the independent predictive factors for T1N0M...

This paper is focused on microstructure of protective layers created by co-deposition of Al and Si on nickel base superalloys INCO 713 LC and INCO 738 LC after thermal and thermal-stress exposition and on microstructure of basic materials (substrates). The contribution also shows creep tests results for both superalloys with and without a protective layer.
