Background: Cervical samples of patients with human papillomavirus (HPV) infections show positive results in HPV DNA testing. infection can alter cervical squamous epithelial cells (CSECs) to be abnormal. Epigenetically, CSECs that change abnormal are affected by Fas-promoter-670 gene polymorphism. High-risk (hr-HPV) infected other microbes, for example, Candida species (Candida sp.). The prese...

About 8% of the adult population is taking angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors to treat cardiovascular disease including hypertension, myocardial infarction and heart failure. These drugs decrease mortality by up to one-fifth in these patients. We and others have reported previously that endogenous inhibitory substances suppress serum ACE activity, in vivo, similarly to the ACE inhib...

Clustering of (Ga,Mn)As is studied with the supercell density-functional calculations using the projector augmentedwave method. We find large binding energies for a single substitutional Mn atom to existing dimers and trimers giving rise to trimer and tetramer formation. For larger clusters this binding energy drops. In all cases studied, ferromagnetic alignment is found to be energetically mor...

PURPOSE Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an established approach to treat symptomatic non-permanent atrial fibrillation (AF). Detecting AF recurrence after PVI is important, if discontinuation of oral anticoagulation after ablation is considered. METHODS Patients with symptomatic paroxysmal AF were enrolled in the prospective randomized mesh ablator vs. cryoballoon pulmonary vein (PV) ablati...

purpose: to compare repeated intravitreal injections of bevacizumab (ivb) with triamcinolone acetonide (ivt) for treatment of acute branch retinal vein occlusion (brvo). methods: this randomized clinical trial included, 86 eyes with recent onset (less than 12 weeks) brvo. participants were randomly assigned to two treatment groups: the ivb group (43 eyes) consisted of patients who received mont...

The objective of this paper is to present a general strategy for design optimization of flattop interleavers, and dispersion compensation for the interleavers, in order to achieve superior optical performance. The interleaver is formed by two multi-cavity Gire-Tournois etalons (MC-GTE) in a Michelson Interferometer (MI). An interleaver that has m cavities in one etalon and n cavities in the oth...

Various refined potentials describing the intraand inter-molecular force fields of water molcculcs arc used to calculate the properties of the gas-phase water dimer. The intra-molecular parts have been taken from spectroscopic or quantum-chemical sources. The minimum energy structure was found iteratively using the first derivatives of the potential; the force-constant matrix was con­ structed ...

We present a combined theoretical and experimental study of the ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As which explains the remarkably large changes observed on low-temperature annealing. Careful control of the annealing conditions allows us to obtain samples with ferromagnetic transition temperatures up to 159 K. Ab initio calculations, in situ Auger spectroscopy, and resistivity measurements dur...

in order to study the effect of different levels of the manure and foliar application of zn and mn fertilizers on the quantitative and qualitative yield of soybeans (var. williams), a factorial experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2012. treatments involved three levels of fertilizer: manure (zero as control; six and 12 t/ha), two levels of mn...
