PURPOSE To determine minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of various anti-tuberculosis drugs for Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) strains isolated from clinical samples. METHODS Forty-nine human isolates of MAC were tested for susceptibility to nine chemotherapeutic agents. All isolates were from Indian patients suffering from chronic pulmonary mycobacteriosis. Drug susceptibility was perf...

MAС-therapy in recent years has become widely used psychological practices counseling. purpose article theoretical MAC-therapy by relying on categorical-systemic methodology using categorical pendulum method. Materials and methods. In course s...

This paper proposed a neural network model algorithm control (NNMAC) method for the path tracking control of differentially steered wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) subject to nonholonomic constraints. The model algorithm control (MAC) is a one-step-ahead predictive controller, in which the control law is obtained by minimizing the output error. The MAC method needs the well known model of the cont...

Digital Signal Processors play an unavoidable portion in modern-day communication. The Multiply Accumulate (MAC) is a crucial component of modern signal processors that performace rely on speed, power, and area. In this paper, One such promising option the Vedic multiplier based modified sum-product method proposed. MAC unit was built utilizing outdated mathematical technique.The effectiveness ...

The exponential growth of wireless network in recent years has brought some major research issues that include a fair share of the available bandwidth, quality of service (QoS) and control of misbehaving traffic nodes/sources. However, in wireless networks, including cellular, Ad Hoc, and sensor networks, that are based on a shared medium and often contention-oriented protocols, these issues ha...

BACKGROUND Among patients with pulmonary disease due to Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) seen recently at our center, a substantial number have had extensive calcified mediastinal, hilar, and peribronchial lymphadenopathy, a finding historically inconsistent with pulmonary MAC disease. METHOD We retrospectively studied the frequency of calcified lymphadenopathy in the chest and prevalence of...

OBJECTIVES Clarithromycin is the key drug in the various treatment regimens of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) diseases, and is the only drug for which drug susceptibility has been shown to correlate with clinical response in these diseases. A point mutation at either positions 2058 or 2059 of the 23S rRNA gene has been reported to occur in high-level clarithromycin-resistant isolates. In thi...
