UNLABELLED Fungal exposure measurements in indoor environments require accurate and precise monitoring methods. Such techniques may be based on monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and here we report the cross-reactivity patterns of Mabs produced against Aspergillus versicolor. Balb/c mice were immunized with the particulate fraction of homogenized spores ...

BACKGROUND Exposure to microbes and their components may affect the maturation of the immune system. We examined the association of house dust microbial content with cytokine-producing capacity at birth and at the age of 1 year. METHODS Production of TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-5, IL-8 and IL-10 at birth (n = 228) and at the age of 1 year (n = 200) following 24- and 48-hour whole-blood stimulation with ...

Background. Posaconazole has a broad spectrum antifungal activity and it may be useful for salvage antifungal treatment for invasive fungal infection (IFI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of posaconazole salvage treatment (ST) in patients with IFI who were intolerant or refractory to other antifungal therapy with utilization of posaconazole oral suspension (os) ...

let $g$ be a finite $p$-soluble group‎, ‎and $p$ a sylow $p$-sub-group of $g$‎. ‎it is proved‎ ‎that if all elements of $p$ of order $p$ (or of order ${}leq 4$ for $p=2$) are‎ ‎contained in the $k$-th term of the upper central series of $p$‎, ‎then the $p$-length of‎ ‎$g$ is at most $2m+1$‎, ‎where $m$ is the greatest integer such that‎ $p^m-p^{m-1}leq k$‎, ‎and the exponent of the image of $p$...

Let K be a totally real number field and consider Fermat-type equation A p + B b q = C c r $Aa^p+Bb^q=Cc^r$ over K. We call the triple of exponents ( , ) $(p,q,r)$ signature equation. prove various results concerning solutions to Fermat with 2 $(p,p,2)$ 3 $(p,p,3)$ using method involving modularity, level lowering image inertia comparison. These generalize extend recent work I?ik, Kara Özman. F...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the microbiological and chemical contamination in settled dust at poultry farms. The scope of research included evaluating the contributions of the various granulometric fractions in settled dust samples, assessing microbial contamination using culture methods, concentrations of secondary metabolites in dust and their cytotoxicity against hepatocyte chicken ...

In this paper, we establish a lower bound on the number of inducing simple n-gons in grid-like arrangements of lines. We also show that the complexity associated with counting the number of inducing n-gons in an arrangement of collinear segments is #P-complete.
