Accurate and timely diagnosis of dengue virus is important for early detection of dengue virus infection. In this study, the usefulness of the dengue NS1 antigen test was evaluated as a routine, rapid diagnostic test for dengue virus infection. A total of 208 sera from patients suspected of having dengue virus infection were collected and tested for dengue antibody, dengue genome and dengue NS1...

INTRODUCTION While several studies have found a link between impaired cognition and social isolation, few have examined the relationship between cognition and loneliness. Loneliness has been thought to increase the risk of development of Alzheimer's dementia. AIM The aims of this study were to explore the relationship between loneliness and cognition and to determine whether specific cognitiv...

This descriptive correlational study aimed to analyze self-care behaviors and their relationship with health indicators represented by glycemic control, lipid profile, Body Mass Index [BMI], waist circumference and body fat percentage in a sample of 98 adults with type 2 diabetes in an area of Nuevo Leon, Mexico (August 2005/May 2006). The results showed a low self-care behaviors index (X = 36....

During an 8-month study, 14 laboratories used automated analytical systems to measure total bilirubin concentrations in lyophilized bovine specimens containing 38, 169, and 253 micromol/L bilirubin (2.2, 9.9, and 14.8 mg/dL, respectively). The measured mean +/- SD (n, range) were: 39 +/- 7 micromol/L (n = 90, 31-53) [2.3 +/- 0.4 mg/dL (1.8-3.1)]; 176 +/- 29 micromol/L (n = 89, 146-222) [10.3 +/...

Aim & Objective: To assess the effectiveness of community change agents on attitude regarding disaster preparedness among women. Methodology: Researcher adopted a quasi experimental research design for study. 414 (experimental-206 control-208) who fulfilled inclusion criteria were selected by using non probability convenient sampling technique. obtained written Informed consent from and cho...

Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSCs) heavily infiltrate in a variety of solid tumors and suppress anti-tumor T-cell activity. Our recent studies have demonstrated the ability of monocytic, Ly6C+ MDSCs to promote glioma growth through the activation of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 pathway, which is responsible for prostaglandin-synthesis. ONO-AE3-208 is an antagonist of the prostaglandin E (EP)-4 ...

The arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction was used to detect single-dose polymorphisms that, in turn, were used to generate a linkage map of a polyploid relative of cultivated sugarcane, Saccharum spontaneum 'SES 208' (2n = 64). The mapping population was composed of 88 progeny from a cross between SES 208 and a diploidized haploid derived from SES 208 by anther culture, ADP 85-0068. Thi...

Increased synthesis of Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) and HDL is believed to provide a new approach to treating atherosclerosis through the stimulation of reverse cholesterol transport. RVX-208 increases the production of ApoA-I in hepatocytes in vitro, and in vivo in monkeys and humans, which results in increased HDL-C, but the molecular target was not previously reported. Using binding assays an...
