BACKGROUND Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are an important public health concern because of their impact on reproductive and other health problems. Initiating treatment at an early stage for both index patients and their partners reduces the risk of reinfections and prevents serious short- or long-term complications for the infected individuals. Sexual partner tracing is one of the mean...

Background: Recognition of HIV/STI co infection has tremendous contribution for targeted intervention. Sexually transmitted infections have far reaching health, social and economic consequences. Sexually transmitted infections are very important because of their potential complication and interaction with HIV/AIDS. By evaluating the HIV/STI co infection it will be a signal to know the affected ...

Human sexual networks exhibit a heterogeneous structure where few individuals have many partners and many individuals have few partners. Network theory predicts that the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STI) on such networks should exhibit striking properties (e.g. rapid spread). However, these properties cannot be found in epidemiological data. Current network models typically assume...

Prevalence rates of many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are highest among adolescents. If nonviral STIs are detected early, they can be treated, transmission to others can be eliminated, and sequelae can be averted. The US Preventive Services Task Force and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have published chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis screening guidelines that recommen...

Post-anthesis drought stress is the most important problem affecting wheat production in dryland fields, specially in Mediterranean regions. The main objective of this research was to evaluate drought tolerance indices in dryland wheat genotypes under post-anthesis drought stress. The research was including two different experiments. In each experiment, twenty dryland bread wheat genotypes were...

This study aimed to investigate the reliability of ultrasound two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI) for the evaluation of myocardial ischemia in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) patients. We recruited 28 patients clinically diagnosed with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) and subjected them to 2D-STI, gated transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTDE), and 99Tcm-met...
