In this article we present our conception of dtathesls alternations and how they intervene m the definmon of a model of lexlcal entnes We consider that dmthesls alternations are the syntactic realizations of opposmons of a more general semantic nature We will see how they interact with other components such as event structure and how different semannc classes of pre&cates at~se from that intera...

salmonella enterica serotypes are one of the most important food borne pathogens and significant public health concerns around the world in humans and other animal species. a total of eighty three epidemiologically unrelated clinical isolates of salmonella enterica serovars were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing. eleven isolates (13.1%) which were resistant to at least 4 groups ...

heart failure (hf) is a condition due to a problem with the structure or function of the heart impairs its ability to supply sufficient blood flow to meet the body's needs. in developing countries, around 2% of adults suffer from heart failure, but in people over the age of 65, this rate increases to 6-10%. in iran, around 3.3% of adults suffer from heart failure. the health belief model (hbm) ...

tigecycline is a new glycylcycline antibiotic structurally similar to minocycline antibiotic. it has broad spectrum activity, including staphylococcus aureus infections. this is the first study that evaluated the activity of tigecycline against staphylococcus aureus isolated from biological samples in iran. in vitro activity of tigecycline against 160 staphylococcus aureus including 99 methicil...

the aim of this study was to investigate the possible influence of interferon-gamma (ifn- γ) gene polymorphism +874 (a/t) (rs2430561) in the susceptibility and renal complications of patients with henoch-schonlein purpura (hsp). we also studied the effects of ifn-γ allelic variation on serum levels of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines in hsp patients. the  study  population  comprised  97  pa...

susceptibility pattern of organisms causing urinary tract infection (uti) in neonate would potentially improve the clinical management by enabling clinicians to choose most reasonable first line empirical antibiotics. this study aimed to this end by studying isolated organisms from neonates with uti in an inpatient setting.current retrospective study has recruited all cases of neonatal uti diag...

background in recent decades, multidrug-resistant non-fermenting gram-negative pathogens, particularly acinetobacter baumannii and pseudomonas aeruginosa, have been recognized as a major cause of healthcare-associated and nosocomial infections and outbreaks. conclusions the majority of a. baumannii and p. aeruginosa isolates were found to be resistant to commonly recommended antibiotics. theref...

conclusions silver nanoparticles were observed to have additive effects with essential oil against staphylococcus epidermidis and s. aureus. the obtained results suggest the need for further investigations of the antibacterial effects of the combination of silver nanoparticles with other plant extracts and essential oils. results the results of the experiment showed that the mic and minimal bac...

background methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) continues to be a major cause of nosocomial infections. methicillin resistance in s. aureus is caused by the acquisition of the meca gene, located on a mobile genetic element called the staphylococcal cassette chromosome (scc). objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of the predominant sccmec type present among ...

background diarrhea is the most frequent health problem among children in developing countries. defining the etiology of acute diarrhea is critical to disease therapy and prevention. some anaerobic bacteria such as enterotoxigenic bacteroides fragilis (etbf) strains cause diarrheal disease by production of enterotoxin in children less than 5 years old. objectives this study aimed to evaluate th...
