telenomus beneficiens is a common egg parasitoid of sugarcane top borer scirpophaga excerptalis; however, in winter time the incidence of the parasitoid on top borer eggs is extremely low. t. beneficiens adults were released at various time durations into sugarcane plots to evaluate the parasitic potentiality of the parasitoid against sugarcane top-borer. the egg parasitoid t. beneficiens of su...

The best treatment schedule for eradication of Helicobacter pylori in Iran is a type of quadruple therapy for a minimum duration of two weeks. Since, clarithromycin and furazolidone based quadruple regimen has the highest eradication rate, it can be considered as the first line therapy. Metronidazole based quadruple therapy may be used as an alternative choice of first line therapy. It is also ...

Background: Helicobacter pylori infection infects approximately 50% of the world’s population, and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. H. pylori infection is associated with large expenditures for diagnostic testing and prescription medication. Summary: The C13-urea breath test remains the non-invasive test with the highest sensitivity and specificity, and is the test-of-cho...

BACKGROUND Metronidazole-containing eradication therapies are less effective for metronidazole resistant Helicobacter pylori. Although early data suggested improvement of the efficacy of bismuth triple therapy after the addition of acid suppressives, these findings were based on studies with small numbers of patients, incomplete post-eradication follow up, or omission of pretreatment susceptibi...

Our main result is an existence and uniqueness theorem for Steiner triple systems which associates to every such system a binary code | called the \carrier" | which depends only on the order of the system and its 2-rank. When the Steiner triple system is of 2-rank less than the number of points of the system, the carrier organizes all the information necessary to construct directly all systems ...

Although triple (omeprazole, amoxicillin, and metronidazole) and quadruple (omeprazole, tetracycline, metronidazole, and bismuth subcitrate) therapeutic regimens for H. pylori eradication has been studied much in the general population, there is a lack of data in renal transplanted patients. So, this study aimed at comparing regimens in these patients who were considered being immunocompromised...

background: the effectiveness of classic standard triple therapy regimen of helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) eradication has decreased to unacceptably low levels, largely related to development of resistance to metronidazole and clarithromycin. thus successful eradication of h. pylori infections remains challenging. therefore alternative treatments with superior effectiveness and safety should b...
