Background and Objective: Urinary tract infection (UTIs) is one of the most common diagnosed infectious diseases. In order to determine the spectrum of bacterial etiology and antibiotic resistance pattern of the uropathogens that cause community acquired UTI, a retrospective study was performed in Research Center of Reference laboratories of Iran on urine samples of referred patients during ...

In the title compound, [KGd(C(10)H(2)O(8))(H(2)O)(2)](n), the Gd(3+) ion is nine-coordinated by eight O atoms from five individual benzene-1,2,4,5-tetra-carboxyl-ate (btec) ligands and one water mol-ecule, and the K(+) ion is eight-coordinated by six O atoms from five individual btec ligands and two water mol-ecules. In the crystal, the btec half-mol-ecules are completed by crystallographic inv...

Well-characterized solid-state laser materials are evaluated for performance in radiation balanced laser systems. New figures-of-merit are developed and applied to ytterbium doped materials. Superior performance is predicted for high cross section tungstate materials. Photothermal deflection experiments on samples of Yb doped KGd(WO4)2 confirm anti-Stokes fluorescence cooling. Observations of o...

In KGd(1-x)Lu(x)(WO(4))(2):Yb(3+) channel waveguides grown onto KY(WO(4))(2) substrates by liquid phase epitaxy and microstructured by Ar+ beam etching, we produced 418 mW of continuous-wave output power at 1023 nm with a slope efficiency of 71% and a threshold of 40 mW of launched pump power at 981 nm. The degree of output coupling was 70%. By grating tuning in an extended cavity and pumping a...

Athermal lasers dispose of their waste heat in the form of spontaneous fluorescence (i.e., by laser cooling) to avoid warming the medium. The thermodynamics of this process is discussed both qualitatively and quantitatively from the point of view of the first and second laws. The steady-state optical dynamics of an ytterbium-doped KGd(WO4)2 fiber is analyzed as a model radiation-balanced solid-...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Ketogenic diet (KGD) is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat and average protein dietary formulation, which has been reported with the ability to ameliorate several metabolic diseases, especially those under the direct influence of hormonal disruptions. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) had been found to induce uterine fibroids in laboratory animals through alterations to hormones, l...
