conclusions this study found that gbv-c infection has a high frequency among injecting drug users with hiv/hcv coinfection and hcv mono-infection in yunnan, china. in patients with chronic hepatitis c and hiv coinfection, gbv-c rna was associated with significantly lower alt and ast levels, suggesting a beneficial effect of gbv-c infection on chronic hepatitis c. results gbv-c rna was identifie...

Load cell response correction can be used to speed up the process of measurement. This paper investigates the application of analog adaptive techniques in load cell response correction. The load cell is a sensor with an oscillatory output in which the measurand contributes to response parameters. Thus, a compensation filter needs to track variation in measurand whereas a simple, fixed filter is...

BACKGROUND Patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) might continue treatment with a virologically failing regimen. We sought to identify annual change in CD4(+) T-cell count according to levels of viraemia in patients on cART. METHODS A total of 111,371 CD4(+) T-cell counts and viral load measurements in 8,227 patients were analysed. Annual change in CD4(+) T-cell numbers ...

In this paper, a full adder cell based on majority function using Carbon-Nanotube Field-Effect Transistor (CNFET) technology is presented. CNFETs possess considerable features that lead to their wide usage in digital circuits design. For the design of the cell input capacitors and inverters are used. These kinds of design method cause a high degree of regularity and simplicity. The proposed des...
