BACKGROUND Intramuscular benzathine penicillin G (BPG) is widely used for the treatment of syphilis. However, BPG is not available in some countries. This study examined the effectiveness and safety of high-dose oral amoxicillin plus probenecid for the treatment of syphilis in patients with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). METHODS This retrospective observational study included 28...

Complexes of the type [Co(pic)(2)(NN)], where pic = picolinate, NN = dipyrido[3,2-d:2',3'-f]quinoxaline (dpq) (4) and 4b,5,7,7a-tetrahydro-4b,7a-epiminomethanoimino-6H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]-phenanthroline-6,13-dione (bipyridyl-glycoluril) (bpg) (6) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-vis, NMR and ESI-MS spectroscopy and thermogravimetic analysis (TGA). Their phy...

Bypass with saphenous vein graft (SVG) is considered the standard of care in all patients chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), including diabetes mellitus (DM). However, when an autogenous not available, options are bypass a prosthetic (BPG) or endovascular therapy (ET). In present study, we aimed to compare midterm outcomes BPG ET DM using data from Vascular Quality Initiative Medicare-Li...

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) promotes osteoblast recruitment and osteogenic activity. However, no evidence suggests that CGRP could affect the differentiation of stem cells toward osteoblasts. In this study, we genetically modified adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) by introducing the CGRP gene through adenoviral vector transduction and investigated on cellular proliferation and osteo...

Hierarchical PCE is a standard architecture for multi-domain path computation. However, the mechanism to feed the Traffic Engineering Database of the Parent PCE is still under debate. This work validates the use of BGP-LS to build the Parent PCE TEDB and compares two H-PCE algorithms that use different amount of information. Introduction The International Engineering Task Force (IETF) has defin...

This paper proposes a novel Non-Local Attention Optimized Deep Image Compression (NLAIC) framework, which is built on top of the popular variational auto-encoder (VAE) structure. Our NLAIC framework embeds non-local operations in encoders and decoders for both image latent feature probability information (known as hyperprior) to capture local global correlations, apply attention mechanism gener...
