ABSTRACT mtCLIC/CLIC4 (referred to here as mtCLIC) is a p53- and tumor necrosis factor alpha-regulated cytoplasmic mitochondrial protein that belongs the CLIC family of intracellular chloride channels. mtCLIC associates with inner membrane. Dual regulation by two stress response pathways suggested this channel might contribute cellular cytotoxic stimuli. DNA damage or overexpression p53 upregulates induces apoptosis. Overexpression transient transfection reduces membrane potential, releases...

<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Because treatment with third-generation cephalosporins is associated slow clinical improvement and high relapse burden for enteric fever, whereas the fluoroquinolone gatifloxacin rapid fever clearance low burden, we postulated that would be superior to cephalosporin ceftriaxone in treating fever. <h3>Methods</h3> We did an open-label, randomised, controlled, superiority trial at two hospitals Kathmandu valley, Nepal. Eligible participants were children...

Background Fluoroquinolones are the most commonly used group of antimicrobials for treatment enteric fever, but no direct comparison between two fluoroquinolones has been performed in a large randomised trial. An open-label randomized trial was conducted to investigate whether gatifloxacin is more effective than ofloxacin uncomplicated fever caused by nalidixic acid-resistant Salmonella enterica serovars Typhi and Paratyphi A. Methodology Principal Findings Adults children clinically...

Abstract We conducted a prospective hospital based study from February 2009-April 2011 to identify the possible pathogens of central nervous system (CNS) infections in adults admitted tertiary referral (Patan Hospital) Kathmandu, Nepal. The CNS were confirmed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using molecular diagnostics, culture (bacteria) and serology. 87 patients recruited for etiological diagnosis was established 38% (n = 33). bacterial identified Neisseria meningitidis 6); Streptococcus...

Background In many rural areas at risk for enteric fever, there are few data on Salmonella enterica serotypes Typhi (S. Typhi) and Paratyphi Paratyphi) incidence, due to limited laboratory capacity microbiologic culture. Here, we describe an approach that permits recovery of the causative agents fever in such settings. This involves use electricity-free incubator based upon phase-change materials. We compared this against conventional blood culture detection typhoidal Salmonella....

An increase in the number of cases Salmonella enterica serotype Goldcoast infection was observed England during September 2013. A total 38 were reported, with symptom onset dates between 21 June and 6 October Epidemiological, environmental, microbiological food chain evidence all support conclusion that this outbreak associated eating whelks processed by same factory. Whelks are a novel vehicle should be considered when investigating future outbreaks.

Bronchoscopic device closure plays a significant role in the nonsurgical management of bronchopleural fistulae (BPF). Herein, we describe our 10-year experience postoperative BPF using various modalities. This is largest series bronchoscopic being reported from India.This was retrospective analysis data patients who underwent with techniques for BPF. In total, 11 (six males and five females) mean age (±standard deviation) 42.72 ± 14.40 years BPFs were treated interventions closure. We used...

This research focuses on the use of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for prediction microhardness friction stir processed aluminium based metal matrix composite (AA6061+Al2O3). Different specimens were obtained by using rotating speeds 1100, 1210, 1320 and 1430 rpm travelling 36, 48, 60, 72 mm/min. The value (HV) surface each samples was measured data collected from used as learning ANN. Higher rotational speed lower transversal resulted in higher hardness since processing at tool causes high...
