BACKGROUND In low-incidence countries, most tuberculosis (TB) cases occur among migrants and are caused by reactivation of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) acquired in the country of origin. Diagnosis and treatment of LTBI are rarely implemented to reduce the burden of TB in immigrants, partly because the cost-effectiveness profile of this intervention is uncertain. The objective of this re...

Members of a superfamily of proteins could result from divergent evolution of homologues with insignificant similarity in the amino acid sequences. A superfamily relationship is detected commonly after the three-dimensional structures of the proteins concerned are determined using X-ray analysis or NMR. The SUPFAM database described here relates two homologous protein families in a multiple seq...

The success of tuberculosis treatment depends on the patient's knowledge and support from family. There is no self-effort or motivation family who does not provide for complete treatment. It will affect patient adherence to taking drug. A study was conducted find out whether there a relationship between recovery process.

BACKGROUND The Ethiopian epidemic is currently on the wane. However, the situation for infected children is in some ways lagging behind due to low treatment coverage and deficient prevention of mother-to-child transmission. Too few studies have examined HIV infected children presenting to care in low-income countries in general. Considering the presence of local variations in the nature of the ...

Death from injury has increased by 20% over the last decade and accounts for more death than malaria, tubercolosis, and HIV combined. Hemorrhage requiring massive transfusion secondary to trauma and major surgery remains a major cause of potentially preventable deaths, and development of coagulopathy further substantiallyincreases the mortality rates of hemorrhaging patients. Classically, massi...

BACKGROUND Heart transplantation is limited by a severe donor organ shortage. Potential donors with brain death (BD) and left ventricular dysfunction due to neurogenic stunning are currently excluded from donation--although such abnormalities can be reversible with aggressive treatment including Hormonal Treatment (HT) and deferred organ retrieval. AIM To assess the recovery of left ventricul...
