BACKGROUND The etiology and outcomes of blood-stream infections (BSI) among paediatric patients is not well described in resource-limited countries including Georgia. METHODOLOGY Patients with positive blood cultures at the largest paediatric hospital in the country of Georgia were identified by review of the medical and laboratory records of patients who had blood for cultures drawn between ...

ხელნაწერი თბილისი A-249 X საუკუნეში პალესტინის გარემოში გადაწერილი საუცხოო კოლექციის დღეს არათანმიმდევრულად აკინ- ძული ფრაგმენტის სახითაა შემორჩენილი. ჩვენამდე მოღწეული ტექ- სტები სირიულიდან არაბულის გავლითაა ნათარგმნი (რაც, უკანასკ- ნელი მათგანისთვის ჯერ კიდევ დასადგენია). ხელნაწერის ერთადერთ გამოქვეყნებულ აღ- წერილობად დღემდე რჩება 1903 წელს დასტამბული თ. ჟორდანიას ნაშრომი.1 ეს თავის დროზე გა...

Within research, normative base and structure existing services related were studied evaluated. A cross-sectional conducted participation 120 who received outpati...

There are different approaches to teaching the history of medicine in different countries. Teaching the history of medicine in Georgia is bound to its traditional medicine. Georgian medicine originated at the crossroads of the East and West and thus integrates the principles of both medical traditions. The Research Department of the History of Georgian Medicine and Traditional Medicine at Exper...

We consider the unification of gauge, Higgs as well as the matter fields in a 6D N= 2 supersymmetric SU(8) gauge theory. The gauge symmetry SU(8) is broken down to SU(4)× SU(2)L × SU(2)R × U(1) in 4D through T 2/Z6 orbifold compactification, and the theory is reduced to 4D N = 1 supersymmetric Pati-Salam model. The electroweak Higgs fields as well as the third family of fermions are unified in ...

The lysis of bacteria by bacteriophage was independently discovered by Frederick Twort 1 and Felix d’Herelle 2 but it was d’Herelle who proposed that bacteriophage might be applied to the control of bacterial diseases. Within the former Soviet Union (FSU), bacteriophage therapy was researched and applied extensively for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. In the West, however...

Radiation hardness studies of KURARAY SCSF-78M scintillating fibers and clear fibers from KURARAY and pol.hi.tech. performed under different dose rate conditions in proton and electron beams are summarized. For high dose rates in-situ measurements of the fiber light output were done. During several months after irradiation all fibers were measured concerning light emission and transparency. Fib...

The axion solution to the strong CP problem makes use of a global Peccei–Quinn U(1) symmetry which is susceptible to violations from quantum gravitational effects. We show how discrete gauge symmetries can protect the axion from such violations. PQ symmetry emerges as an approximate global symmetry from discrete gauge symmetries. Simple models based on ZN symmetries with N = 11, 12, etc are pre...
