BACKGROUND In HIV-infected children, viral diversity tends to increase with age in the absence of antiretroviral treatment (ART). We measured HIV diversity in African children (ages 6-36 months) enrolled in a randomized clinical trial comparing two ART regimens (Cohort I of the P1060 trial). Children in this cohort were exposed to single dose nevirapine (sdNVP) at birth. METHODS HIV diversity...

High-resolution manometry (HRM) is the primary method used to evaluate esophageal motor function. Displayed and interpreted by esophageal pressure topography (EPT), HRM/ EPT provides a detailed assessment of esophageal function that is useful in the evaluation of patients with nonobstructive dysphagia and before foregut surgery. Esophageal motility diagnoses are determined systematically by app...

Describe the three levels of strategy formulation and comment on the links between business strategy and human resource management. 3. Explain the two models of strategic HRM, the matching model and the resourcebased model. 4. Comment on the various strategic HRM themes of re-engineering, workpla...

This paper presents the need of an organization like educational institution to redefine its strategy to address the HRM changes due to globalization. The HRM practices in the said organization were discussed and the different challenges/problems with each functions. The factors to be considered before adoption to e-HRM were discussed to determine the level of implementation to this technology....

this study aims at providing an explanation of electronic human resource management (e-hrm) and introducing its activities and tools. furthermore, we investigate the effect of various independent variables such as job satisfaction, professional commitment, organizational commitment… on the effectiveness of hrm as a dependent variable. for this purpose, by cluster sampling from iranian hr manage...

Recent theoretical and empirical analysis in the field of economic organisation has focussed almost exclusively on identifying organisational practices and complementarities between such practices, invariant to the type of activity in question. However, this paper takes its point of departure in the observation from organisational theory that more knowledgeintensive production activities often ...

BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer is the third most common form of cancer and hypermethylation has been shown to increase the risk of developing this disease. DNA hypermethylation in the A kinase anchor protein 12 (AKAP12/Gravin) promoter region and the accompanied underexpression of it has been noted in a variety of human cancers. METHODS We applied methylation-specific high resolution melting (M...

BACKGROUND Molecular methods for the detection of drug-resistant tuberculosis are potentially more rapid than conventional culture-based drug susceptibility testing, facilitating the commencement of appropriate treatment for patients with drug resistant tuberculosis. We aimed to develop and evaluate high-resolution melting (HRM) assays for the detection of mutations within gyrA, rpsL, and rrs, ...

The substitution of low-cost or adulterated herbal products for high-priced herbs makes it important to be able to identify and trace herbal plant species and their processed products in the drug supply chain. PCR-based methods play an increasing role in monitoring the safety of herbal medicines by detecting adulteration. Recent studies have shown the potential of DNA barcoding combined with hi...
