background and objectives: loop-mediated isothermal amplification is a novel nucleic acid amplification assay providing as a simple diagnostic tool for rapid identification of microbial diseases in developing countries. in this study, a lamp assay was established for yersinia enterocolitica , a leading cause of acute enterocolitis in young children. materials and methods: lamp assay was establi...

objective(s): haemostasis prevents blood loss following vascular injury. it depends on the unique concert of events involving platelets and specific blood proteins, known as coagulation factors. the clotting system requires precise regulation and coordinated reactions to maintain the integrity of the vasculature. clotting insufficiency mostly occurs due to genetically inherited coagulation fact...

this study aimed to gain an insight into whether computer-mediated communication (cmc) in the form of a digital forum can reflect gendered discursive practices. a great deal of research has now established that computer-mediated interactions embody gendered differences in the use of emoticons, but few studies have examined the potential effect of the gender of the emoticon-receiver on the frequ...

The neurotoxic agent lindane was tested for its ability to alter the rate of ultrasonic isolation calls of suckling rats. Doses that did not produce any sign of convulsant activity significantly increased the number of calls and the cumulative time of calling in male pups. At days 10-13 of age after a single dose of 20 mg/kg lindane, animals showed more than twice the control call values. After...

results there was a significant difference in follow-up rates at the due date between the intervention group (50.7%, 34of 67 participants) and the control group (17.5%, 11 of 63 participants) (or = 4.871, 95% ci = 2.172 to 10.924, p < 0.0001). in the control group, the call interviews significantly increased the follow-up rate from 17.5% to 66.7 % (42 of 63 participants) (p < 0.0001), although ...

This paper examines the old question of the relationship between ISWIM and the &calculus, using the distinction between call-by-value and call-by-name. It is held that the relationship should be mediated by a standardisation theorem. :3ince this leads to difficulties, a new &calcu%~s is introduced whose standardisation theorem gives a good correspondence with ISWIM a-; given by the SECT machine...
