Introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy has resulted in a significant reduction in morbimortality and significant changes in the causes of death among HIV/AIDS patients. For this reason, it has become essential to monitor survival and causes of death. We constructed a survival curve based on 597 adult patients notified as AIDS cases between 1997 and 2004, at the Hospital das Clínic...

The objectives of this study were to conduct a prevalence survey of trichomoniasis in pregnant women and to evaluate the utility of different methods for its diagnosis. A total of 597 vaginal exudates from pregnant women who were examined at the Hospital de Clinicas in Buenos Aires, Argentina from 1 August 2005 to 31 January 2007, were prospectively and consecutively evaluated. The investigatio...

Este artigo apresenta os resultados isotópicos de U-Pb e Lu-Hf amostras situadas nos limites dos Orógenos Ribeira Araçuai, em ortognaisses na região Espera Feliz (MG). As análises petrográficas indicam paragêneses formadas Opx+Kfs+Pl+Qz+Gn fácies gramulito. Na área próxima da Serra do Caparaó são observados paragnaisses além milonitos protomilinitos que evidenciam as zonas cisalhamento. rochas ...

Since 1990s the bloom of industrialization and urbanization brings the changes of social and economic issue of Vietnam rural areas. During this process, rural households have reduced agricultural land for cultivating. From the status of food producers now they become food consumers. Through surveying 215 households in Bac Ninh province, the study shows that that industrialization and land conve...

Implantation is a complex developmental process that involves an intimate “crosstalk” between the embryo and uterus. Synchronized development of the embryo to the blastocyst stage and differentiation of the uterus to the receptive state are essential to this process.

BACKGROUND India has the largest number of child deaths of any country in the world, and has wide local variation in under-5 mortality. Worldwide achievement of the UN 2015 Millennium Development Goal for under-5 mortality (MDG 4) will depend on progress in the subregions of India. We aimed to estimate neonatal, 1-59 months, and overall under-5 mortality by sex for 597 Indian districts and to a...

Abstract In this study, the monolithic integration of LEDs with different emission colors (wavelengths 543, 573, and 597 nm) directional radiation profiles was demonstrated. InGaN/GaN nanocolumn arrays ordered in a triangular lattice were prepared side by side, changing diameter n-GaN ( D ). The periodic arrangement nanocolumns led to photonic crystal (PC) effect. band edge wavelength λ B ) InG...
