Malassezia furfur, an opportunistic and lipophilic yeast, is etiologic agent of pityriasis versicolor and characterized by hypo or hyperpigmented scaly patches which appear principally in the trunk. Regarding the lipophilic characteristic of the yeast, this study was done to evaluate that dose hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia affect on incidence of pityriasis versicolor (P.V) or no...

The exchange interaction between identical qubits in a quantum-information processor gives rise to unitary two-qubit errors. It is shown here that decoherence-free subspaces ~DFSs! for collective decoherence undergo Pauli errors under exchange, which, however, do not take the decoherence-free states outside of the DFS. In order to protect DFSs against these errors it is sufficient to employ a r...

Abstract Background With this study, we aim to determine the associations of different categories body mass index (BMI) with activities daily living (ADL) and cognitive performance in two populations community; Colombian South Korean older adults. Methods We performed a cross-sectional analysis surveys separately; The Survey on Health, Well-Being, Aging Colombia (SABE) ( n = 23,343) Longitudina...

beta-l-Dioxolane-cytidine (l-OddC, BCH-4556, Troxacitabine) is a novel unnatural stereochemical nucleoside analog that is under phase II clinical study for cancer treatment. This nucleoside analog could be phosphorylated and subsequently incorporated into the 3' terminus of DNA. The cytotoxicity of l-OddC was correlated with the amount of l-OddCMP in DNA, which depends on the incorporation by D...
