The objective: to compare treatment efficacy of pulmonary tuberculosis patients with multiple (MDR) and extensive drug resistance (XDR) using a standard chemotherapy regimen the containing bedaquiline. Subjects Methods. A retrospective study was conducted analyze outcomes in 219 MDR/XDR Mycobacterium (MTB) aged 18-75 years old who were treated in-patient out-patient facilities St. Petersburg from...

AIM In patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutated anaplastic glioma determine the dosimetric benefits of delivering radiation therapy using a PET guided integrated boost IMRT technique (ib-IMRT) compared with standard IMRT (s-IMRT) in reducing dose to normal brain. METHODS Ten patients with anaplastic glioma, identified as a favourable molecular subgroup through presence of IDH muta...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to identify non-invasively the potential impact of pulmonary regurgitation and age at surgical repair on the right ventricular (RV) textural and functional myocardial properties in patients operated on for tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). METHODS We assessed the average intensity (Int.(1B)) and the cyclic variation (CV(IB)) of the echocardiographic backscatter c...

Objective(s): Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) causes pulmonary toxicity. Infliximab (Ib) is a potent inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). We aimed to investigate whether Ib has a protective effect on CCl4 induced lung injury. Materials and Methods:Rats were divided into control, CCl4, and CCl4+Ib groups. A single dose of 2 ml/kg CCI4 was administered to CCI4 group and a single dose of...

A bstract We consider the possibility that dark matter is stabilised by a discrete Z 2 symmetry which arises from subgroup of U(1)′ gauge symmetry, spontaneously broken integer charged scalars, and under chiral quarks leptons do not carry any charges. fermion χ with half-integer charge odd preserved , hence becomes stable candidate, being produced through couplings to right-handed neutrinos vec...

in this paper, the concept of fuzzy convex subgroup (resp. fuzzy convex lattice-ordered subgroup) of an ordered group (resp. lattice-ordered group) is introduced and some properties, characterizations and related results are given. also, the fuzzy convex subgroup (resp. fuzzy convex lattice-ordered subgroup) generated by a fuzzy subgroup (resp. fuzzy subsemigroup) is characterized. furthermore,...

in this paper, we study the notion of solvable $l$-subgroup of an $l$-group and provide its level subset characterization and this justifies the suitability of this extension. throughout this work, we have used normality of an $l$-subgroup of an $l$-group in the sense of wu rather than liu.

The rapid development of Internet and electronic businesses have stimulated the banking sector towards encouraging customers to internet banking (IB), However, the evidence indicates a lack of interest in the use of IB services. Therefore, this paper aims to identify affecting factors on customer adoption from IB and measure the influence of each factor on IB adoption. Based on an explorative l...
