The introduction of ribavirin to hepatitis C combination therapy with pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN)-α2a has improved sustained responses, but it has been accompanied by an increased incidence of cutaneous side effects. Most cases of drug eruption caused by ribavirin and PEG-IFN-α2 or IFN-α combination therapy were not severe and we progressed without discontinuation of the antiviral treatment....

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) is the causative agent of johne's disease whose immunopathology mainly depends on cell mediated immuneresponse. Genome sequencing revealed various PPE (Proline-Proline-Glutamic acid) protein family of Map which are immunologically importance candidate genes In present study we have developed a bicistrionic construct pIR PPE/IFN containing a 34.9...

We performed a combined approach to identify suspected allergy to knee arthroplasty (TKR): patch test (PT), lymphocyte transformation test (LTT), histopathology (overall grading; T- and B-lymphocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils), and semiquantitative Real-time-PCR-based periprosthetic inflammatory mediator analysis (IFNγ, TNFα, IL1-β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL17, and TGFβ). We analyzed 25 T...

As Beowulf clusters have grown in size and complexity, the task of monitoring the performance, status, and health of such clusters has become increasingly more difficult but also more important. Consequently, tools such as Ganglia and Supermon have emerged in recent years to provide the robust support needed for scalable cluster monitoring. However, the scalability comes at the expense of accur...

We undertake a detailed high-resolution diffraction study of novel plain band insulator, La$_2$MgO$_4$, which may be viewed as structural surrogate system the undoped end-member high-T$_c$ superconductors, La$_{2-x-y}$A$^{2+}_x$RE$^{3+}_y$CuO$_{4}$ (A = Ba, Sr, RE= Rare Earth). find that La$_2$MgO$_4$ exhibits infamous low-temperature orthorhombic (LTO) to tetragonal (LTT) phase transition has ...

JWST will be able to observe the atmospheres of rocky planets transiting nearby M dwarfs. The dwarf triple star system LTT 1445, at a distance 6.86 pc, hosts some nearest terrestrial planets. These most likely orbit 3.5V 1445A. During 28.6 ksec Chandra ACIS-S3 observation we have i) spatially resolved and detected all three stars in 1445 system, ii) measured X-ray luminosity individual stars, i...

Context. Optical secondary eclipse measurements of small planets can provide a wealth information about the reflective properties these worlds, but are particularly challenging to attain because their relatively shallow depth. If such signals be detected and modeled, however, they planetary albedos, thermal characteristics, on absorbers in upper atmosphere. Aims. We aim detect characterize opti...
