AIMS To evaluate different hybridisation techniques to detect and type human papillomavirus (HPV) DNAs amplified by consensus primer polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in biopsy and cytological specimens. METHODS A hybrid capture-immunoassay in microtitre wells was performed to detect HPV sequences amplified by PCR and typed by specific oligoprobes. Consensus primers were used to amplify a seque...

Let G be a split connected reductive group over a finite field Fp with algebraic closure k, fix an Iwahori subgroup B ⊂ G(Fp([[t]])) and let F l = G(k((t)))/Bk denote the affine flag variety of G. Let q denote a power of p and fix a prime l 6= p. In [GH], the authors study the Jordan-Hölder series for objects in the Hecke category P q (F l,Ql). This is the category of B-equivariant perverse Wei...

Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain malignancy in humans and has a limited survival (median of 14.6 months). The goal of treatment is supportive rather than curative. Patients with a GBM struggle with uncertainty related to the illness trajectory. This uncertainty is compounded when possible progression is noted on imaging. Pseudoprogression (PsP) is an early treatmen...

We present a method for the analysis of meta-analytic functional imaging data. It is based on Activation Likelihood Estimation (ALE) and subsequent model-based clustering using Gaussian mixture models, expectation-maximization (EM) for model fitting, and the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) for model selection. Our method facilitates the clustering of activation maxima from previously perfo...

Hepatic resection is a commonly performed procedure for a variety of malignant and benign hepatic tumours [1, 2]. Historically, liver resection, irrespective of the indication, was associ‐ ated with a high morbidity and mortality [2-4]. During the last decades however, perioperative outcome after hepatic resection has improved, due to increased knowledge of liver anatomy and function, improveme...

conclusions genotype d was the main genotype detected in romanian patients with chronic hbv infection. genotype d presented both bcp and pc mutations more frequently. results we detected two hbv genotypes; a (8.1%) and d (60.5%), and a mixture of genotypes a and d (31.4%) (p < 0.001). basal core promoter (bcp) a1762t/g1764a and precore (pc) g1896a mutations were detected in these romanian patie...

Material and Methods: In study, plants collected from Iğdır province 2020 were analyzed using direct nested PCR tests, BLASTn, iphyClassifier, Mega 7, pDRAW32 programs used. Results: tests performed, approximately 1.2 kb DNA fragments specific obtained. 16S rRNA nucleotide...

BackgroundWe investigated the impact of baseline tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) density and TIL composition along with clinicopathological factors on pathologic complete response (pCR) rate in patients treated standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy ± targeted therapy for early breast cancer.MethodsA prospective non-interventional study luminal B, HER2+ triple- negative cancer was performed. In...

clostridium perfringens (c. perfringens) is related to gram-positive and anaerobic bacteria. this rod-shaped bacterium produces spores and can cause a wide spectrum of diseases in humans and animals. every of five different bacterium types can lead to different diseases. most of distinct bacterial recognition methods are not completely effective and practical in all condition. the objective of ...
