conclusion our results showed that obtained protein patterns of the isolated strains were more reliable than serotyping results for typing purposes. our findings indicated that pap adhesion–encoding operon has an important role in the development and severity of uti. many cases of serious urogenital diseases are caused by a limited number of uropathogenic e.coli strains that generally possess s...

Objective(s) Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important cause of nosocomial and community infections. Biofilm formation, mediated by a polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA) and encoded by the ica operon, is considered to be an important virulence factor in both S. epidermidis and S. aureus. However, the clinical impact of the ica locus and PIA production is less w...

Abstract Objective This study examined the effects of two evidence-based practice (EBP) educational programs for postgraduate medical residents on their attitude, behavior, knowledge, outcome, and competencies in EBP. Results Forty-five thirty-five were recruited active passive intervention groups, respectively. Among those, 39 30 participants included final analysis. The group received 12 h EB...

In an effort to identify protein factors that play a regulatory role in the differentiation of adipocytes, we have isolated two genes that encode polypeptides related to CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP; hereafter termed C/EBP alpha). The proteins encoded by these C/EBP-related genes, termed C/EBP beta and C/EBP delta, exhibit similar DNA-binding specificities and affinities compared with ...

Frequent blood pressure monitoring is the key to diagnosis and treatments of many severe diseases. However, conventional ambulatory methods require patients carry a (BP) device for 24 h conduct measurement every 10--15 min. Despite their extensive usage, wearing wrist/arm-based BP long time has significant impact on users' daily activities. To address problem, we developed eBP measure from insi...

Introduction: Evidence based practice (EBP) education isessential in promoting of clinical care, but an effective educationalstrategy for teaching EBP in nursing faculties is not available.The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of nursingstudents of EBP Education according to Rogers’ Diffusion ofInnovation Model.Methods: This qualitative study was carried out using a directedconte...

New Public Management (NPM) and Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) are two fundamental concepts within welfare professions. Both NPM EBP central to many debates welfare, often criticised as posing simplified or positivist approaches management knowledge utilization. Epistemologically, both manifestations of modernity, with its emphases on standardization, control, simple causality measurability. The...

recently, use of research, theory, evidence-based practice (ebp), and quality improvement (qi) has increased dramatically in the professional manuscripts and discourses of the health related literature. however, inadequate knowledge and inability to recognize the differences between these processes have led to uncertainty in some of these practices. elucidation of such processes is of paramount...

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a condition caused by spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage, resulting in orthostatic headache as the main symptom, but other symptoms such memory loss, nausea, and tinnitus may also be present. Various imaging techniques are used to diagnose SIH, with magnetic resonance myelography being an important tool for detecting leakage site of CSF. ...
