ISSN 2330-4456 Abstract Objectives: Neonatal sepsis with extended-spectrum betalactamase (ESBL) producing microorganisms is recognized increasingly in recent years. ESBL can be produced by various bacterial strains. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of ESBL producing pathogens in neonatal sepsis and its impact on clinical outcome. Materials and Methods: A study was carried ou...

We have utilized a number of well-defined, simple, synthetic promoters (upstream factor binding sites and TATA elements) to analyze the activation mechanisms of the human cytomegalovirus immediate-early (IE) proteins. We found that the 86-kDa IE protein (known as IEP86, IE2(559aa), or ppUL122a) can recognize and activate a variety of simple promoters, in agreement with the observation that it i...

Structured Query Language (PROC SQL) is a database language found in the base-SAS software. It enables access to data stored in SAS data sets or tables using a powerful assortment of statements, clauses, options, functions, and other language features.

Background Axial spondylarthritis (axSpA) is an immune-mediated systemic chronic inflammatory arthritis involving the axial skeleton that may involve peripheral joints. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are first line therapy in management of axSpA, however for many patients NSAID monotherapy not sufficient to induce disease remission. Given known efficacy biologics spondyloarthritis and het...

WE WRITE TO RETRACT AN INTERPRETATION IN our Report, “Contribution of human αdefensin 1, 2, and 3 to the anti–HIV-1 activity of CD8 antiviral factor” (1), wherein we demonstrated that human α-defensin 1, 2, and 3 account for much of the anti–HIV-1 activity of the CD8 antiviral factor (CAF) that is not attributable to β-chemokines. Although the antiviral activity of human αdefensin has not been ...
