Lipooligosaccharides are glycolipids found in the cell wall of many mycobacterial species including the opportunistic pathogen Mycobacterium kansasii. The genome of M. kansasii ATCC12478 contains a cluster with genes orthologous to Mycobacterium marinum LOS biosynthesis genes. To initiate a genetic dissection of this cluster and demonstrate its role in LOS biosynthesis in M. kansasii, we chose ...

BACKGROUND Late-onset sepsis (LOS) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. AIM To determine the incidence, risk factors and etiology of LOS. METHODS LOS was investigated in a multicenter prospective cohort of infants at eight public university neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Inclusion criteria included inborn, 23-33 weeks of gestation...

RESUMEN Antecedentes: se ha planteado la hipótesis de que los pacientes con esquizofrenia emplean la nicotina para reducir los síntomas negativos de su enfermedad y para mejorar su función cognitiva; sin embargo, no existe evidencia concluyente en la literatura sobre el vínculo entre el consumo de nicotina y la disminución de los síntomas negativos de la enfermedad. Objetivo: investigar los efe...

Moraxella catarrhalis is an important cause of otitis media in children and respiratory tract infections in the elderly. Lipooligosaccharide (LOS) is a major surface antigen of the bacterium that elicits bactericidal antibodies. Serological studies show that three major LOS types (A, B, and C) have been identified among clinical isolates. Our previous studies demonstrated that the type A LOS-ba...

PURPOSE Epileptic spasms sometimes begin after the first year of life, and such seizures are recognized as late-onset spasms (LOS). The prognosis of LOS is poor, and a treatment strategy has not been established. This study aimed to assess the short- and long-term effects of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) therapy for LOS. METHODS We investigated the rate of LOS in 22 patients (14 boys and...

BACKGROUND Length of stay (LOS) is considered a key measure of emergency department throughput, and from the perspective of the patient, it is perceived as a measure of healthcare service quality. Prolonged LOS can be caused by various internal and external factors. This study examined LOS in the emergency department and explored the main factors that influence LOS and cause delay in patient ca...

Over the last decade Learning Objects (LOs) have gained a lot of attention as a common format for developing and sharing digital educational content in the field of technology-enhanced learning. The main advantage of LOs is considered to be their potential for component-based reuse in different learning settings supporting different learning activities. However, despite the importance of the co...
