Objective: The incidence of imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (IRPA) continues increasing rapidly. Sensitive approaches for detecting IRPA infection are warranted to improve the ability to select appropriate antibiotic treatment. Methods: In this study, we optimized a rapid DNA-based diagnostic technique, the visual loopmediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique for detecting of...

Enterprise and public Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are known to be incomplete. Methods for automatic completion, sometimes by rule learning, scale well. While previous rule-based methods learn closed (non-existential) rules, we introduce Open Path (OP) rules that constrained existential rules. We present a novel algorithm, OPRL, learning OP Closed complete KG answering queries of unclear origin, usua...

Background: A most common opportunistic pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is present in both humans and animals and responsible for various nosocomial infections and healthcare settings related infections. Different virulence genes like; oprL (membrane lipoprotein L) and toxA (exotoxin A i.e. ETA) in P. aeruginosa, assist in its pathogenicity, toxicity and contribute to high antibiotic resistanc...

background and objectives: pseudomonas aeruginosa possesses a variety of virulence factors that may contribute to its pathogenicity. the aim of this study was to evaluate opri , oprl and toxa genes for pcr identification of clinical p. aeruginosa . in order to find out any relation between special virulence factors and special manifestation of p. aeruginosa infections, we detected virulence fac...

We consider the asymptotics of zeros of OPRL and POPUC as n -7 00, focusing on the structure on a scale in x of order lin. We discuss three recent results (on Poisson behavior in the random case, clock on the a.c. case, and .a-distribution in between) and open questions and speculations.

We consider OPRL and OPUC with measures regular in the sense of Ullman–Stahl–Totik and prove consequences on the Jacobi parameters or Verblunsky coefficients. For example, regularity on [−2, 2] implies lim N →∞ N −1 [ N n=1 (a n −1) 2 +b 2 n ] = 0.

We identified and investigated the changes in expression of two gill Na(+), K(+)-ATPase α-subunit isoforms (α-1a and α-1b) in relationship with salinity acclimation in a cichlid fish, Mozambique tilapia. Transfer of freshwater (FW)-acclimated fish to seawater (SW) resulted in a marked reduction in α-1a expression within 24 h and a significant increase in α-1b expression with maximum levels atta...

In previous studies we have shown that 125I-labeled prolactin is taken up by a receptor-dependent process and concentrated in an intact form in Golgi elements from female rat liver (J. Biol. Chem., 1979, 254:209-214). In this study we have examined the effect of colchicine on this uptake process into Golgi elements. Colchicine [25 mumol (10 mg)/100 gm body wt] was injected intraperitoneally in ...
