BACKGROUND Approximately half of the world's population is infected with Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori), a bacterium shown to be linked with a series of gastrointestinal diseases. A growing number of systematic reviews (SRs) have been published comparing the effectiveness of different treatments for H.pylori infection but have not reached a consistent conclusion. The objective of this study is ...

background: the prevalence of hip dysplasia is 1 in 1000. several pelvic osteotomy methods have been developed to prevent early osteoarthritis, such as triple osteotomy. in this study we are going to introduce our new technique that was done on 4 patients with favorable short-term results.   methods: four patients underwent triple osteotomy and fixation using a reconstruction plate and early we...

purpose: to assess the results of combined penetrating keratoplasty and cataract extraction by extracapsular extraction versus phacoemulsification and to compare outcomes and complications. methods: in this interventional retrospective study, 76 eyes that had undergone triple surgery were included. cataract surgery was done in two different methods of extracapsular extraction and phacoemulsific...

helicobacter pylori is the main cause of gastric ulcer, adenocarcinoma and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (malt) lymphoma. up to now, different regimens have been used for helicobacter pylori (h.pylori) eradication to find the most potent and cost-effective regimen with less side effects. the aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of standard triple therapy versus quadruple therap...

Summary of Trial Design.Lengthy exposure to quinolone-containing triple therapy in Helicobacter pylori eradication leads to the development of drug resistance. Sequential therapy with a quinolone and metronidazole -containing regimen appears to be an effective treatment option. This randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the efficacy of 5-plus 5 days' levofloxacin and metronidazole-contai...

background although effective strategies have been presented for preventing the spread of antibiotic resistance in iran, recent reports have revealed increasing antibiotic resistance among children and adults. objectives in the present study, we tried to provide a clear view of the antibiotic resistance status of aerobic organism as the most prevalent organism in patients with rhinosinusitis in...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the ability of triple antibiotic paste (TAP) to calcium hydroxide (CH) in disinfecting dentinal tubules. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty root blocks were obtained from extracted single-rooted human teeth. The root canals were enlarged with Gates-Glidden drills up to size 3 and were contaminated with Enterococcus. faecalis (E. faecalis)...

Triple arrays are considered in which 10 symbols each appear 3 times in a 5 × 6 arrangement of symbols. These triple arrays fall into seven isomorphism classes. The orders of the automorphism groups of the arrays in these classes are 60, 12, 12, 6, 4, 3 and 3, respectively. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

This research paper describes key information technology (IT) project management activities in terms of project scope, time, and cost management, namely the triple constraint. The authors contend that the ability to properly manage and execute these activities are the quintessential components that oftentimes drives whether projects succeed or fail. The literature shows that IT projects have a ...

BACKGROUND Blastocystis species are common human enteric parasites. Carriage has been linked to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Treatment of Blastocystis spp. with antimicrobials is problematic and insensitive diagnostic methods and re-infection complicate assessment of eradication. We investigated whether triple antibiotic therapy comprising diloxanide furoate, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole an...
