Objective: To study SARS-CoV-2 reinfections in health-care workers (HCWs) of the University Health Agency Giuliano-Isontina (ASUGI), covering provinces Trieste and Gorizia (northeastern Italy) routinely screened for via nasopharyngeal swab. Design: Cohort HCWs (N = 8205) followed since start pandemic (1 March 2020) through 31 January 2023. The risk reinfection during Omicron transmission period...

the reaction of barium chloride with 2, 6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid in water led to the formation of a novelpolymeric complex formulated as {[ba2(hpydc)2(pydc)(h20)3].h20.(h2pydc)}.(i). the crystal structure of (i)was characterized by single crystal x-ray diffraction method. the complex was crystallized in the monoclinicsystem with space group p2/c, with four molecule in unit-cell, e.g z=4. the...

The mechanism by which ultraviolet radiation induces melanogenesis in epidermal melanocytes is unknown. Previous observations that in cultured human melanocytes 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol augmented both basal and ultraviolet radiation-induced melanogenesis, suggested that the responses were mediated via protein kinase C. However, paradoxically the phorbol ester TPA was without effect. Therefore,...

Set in the ongoing Kellis-Amberlee pandemic, Mira Grant’s zombie adventure series Newsflesh (2010–2016) conjoins knowledge-power with physical and technological apparatuses of control for a group narratives that place citizens against government. The apocalypse is untenable, as exemplified radically constricted lives most people live efforts to protect themselves from or other mammals who have ...

Introduction: Patients with Cystic Fibrosis have increased risk of malnutrition. Early detection of nutritional deterioration enables prompt intervention and correction. The aims of this project were to: - Define the nutritional status of CF patients in Iran and New Zealand -    Compare and contrast the MacDonald Nutritional Screening tool  with the Australasian guidelines for Nutrition in Cyst...

With the development of recombinant DNA technology and the many analytic techniques based on restriction endonucleases, it has become relatively routine to isolate a segment of genomic DNA carrying a gene of interest, to define the limits of the gene within this DNA segment, and then to determine the gene's complete nucleotide sequence. In this way, a number of structural questions can be direc...
