OBJECTIVES To develop a population model to describe the pharmacokinetics (PK) of intravenous meropenem in adult patients with severe burns and investigate potential relationships between dosage regimens and antimicrobial efficacy. PATIENTS AND METHODS A dose of 1 g every 8 h was administered to adult patients with total body surface area burns of ≥15%. Doses for subsequent courses were deter...

and Applied Analysis 3 Now we present some lemmas to be used later for the proof of the convergence theorem. Consider a right continuous process YΔ l = {YΔ (t), t ∈ [−γ, T]}. YΔ l is called a discrete-time numerical approximationwithmaximum step size Δ l , if it is obtained by using a time discretization t Δ l , and the random variable YΔ l tn is F tn -measurable for n ∈ {1, . . . , N}. Further...

plantlets grown in conventional tissue culture systems usually encounter physiological and anatomical abnormalities including inability to photosynthesize, low chlorophyll content, open stomata, lack of a cuticle layer in the leaf, abnormal xylem parenchyma etc. photoautotrophic and photomixotrophic systems could diminish these problems. the purpose of this study was to increase the chlorophyll...

Thyroid hormones (T3, T4) have marked effect on body metabolism and in controlling osmoregulation activity in fish. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of water salinity changes on thyroid hormones level and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) of grass carp. For this purpose 120 grass carp were divided randomly in to four groups (10 fish in each group and three...
