I am surprised by the published conclusions of Hung et al 1 in a recent issue of CHEST (August 2013). The authors’ stated meth ods are not adequate to support their conclusion that hyperimmune IV immunoglobulin (H-IVIG) ben efi ts mortality if given within 5 days to patients with severe 2009 infl uenza A(H1N1) infection. The primary outcome analysis of 34 patients presented in Table 1 of the st...

in this paper, we extend the construction of a fuzzy subgroup generated by a fuzzy subset to $l$-setting. this construction is illustrated by an example. we also prove that for an $l$-subset of a group, the subgroup generated by its level subset is the level subset of the subgroup generated by that $l$-subset provided the given $l$-subset possesses sup-property.

let $g$ be a finite group‎. ‎a subgroup‎ ‎$h$ of $g$ is called an $mathcal h $ -subgroup in‎ ‎$g$ if $n_g (h)cap h^gleq h$ for all $gin‎ ‎g$. a subgroup $h$ of $g$ is called a weakly‎ $mathcal h^ast $-subgroup in $g$ if there exists a‎ ‎subgroup $k$ of $g$ such that $g=hk$ and $hcap‎ ‎k$ is an $mathcal h$-subgroup in $g$. we‎ ‎investigate the structure of the finite group $g$ under the‎ ‎assump...

intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (icam-1) lys469glu (k469e) polymorphism and gly 241arg (g241r) polymorphism might play important roles in cancer development and progression. however, the results of previous studies are inconsistent. the aim of this study was to evaluate the association between icam-1 k469e and g241r polymorphisms and the risk of cancer by meta-analysis.a comprehensive literat...

a subgroup $h$ is said to be $nc$-supplemented in a group $g$ if there exists a subgroup $kleq g$ such that $hklhd g$ and $hcap k$ is contained in $h_{g}$, the core of $h$ in $g$. we characterize the supersolubility of finite groups $g$ with that every maximal subgroup of the sylow subgroups is $nc$-supplemented in $g$.
