...WHO) and confirmed by Chemiluminescence Immunoassays (CLIA). Of total 387 respondents, 149 subjects tested positive for syphilis (38.5%), whereas 37 tested positive for HIV (9.6%). Syphilis co-infection was found in 22 of the HIV infected subjects (59.5%; odd ratio 2.53; p=0.008). Co-infection was most prevalent among HSW group (90.9%; OR 8.67; P=0.005) followed by FSW group (20%) and IDUs (14.3%). There is a pressing need for HIV prevention plan that should e...

The novel Schiff bases 4a and 4b have been synthesized by the reaction of 2-[(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)sulfanyl]-N-[4-(hydrazinecarbonyl)phenyl]acetamide with 3-nitro and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde. Characterization of the synthesized compounds was done by using various spectroscopic techniques namely FTIR, proton and carbon-13 NMR, Mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The results were in great con...

The patient age ranged from 1 to 30 years were with mean age of 7.9±4.5 years. Among 1,440 patients, 44 patients were positive for HBV (3.05%) while 295 were positive for HCV (20.4%). This study showed that β-thalassaemia patients are at a higher risk of contracting HBV and HCV infections. Although the...

...n of the released female milu (Père David’s deer, Elaphurus davidianus) population at Dongting Lake, China, we estimated home range size using the 95% minimum convex polygon method. A maximum flooded time index was calculated and the overlay analysis with seasonal home range data was employed. The results showed: (1) in seasons, the home range size of winter was the largest while it was the smallest in summer. It was also found that home range of ...

Based on average percentages of nematode reduction, P. fluorescens (Pf) achieved (89.0%) followed by the combined treatments of Pf+Bs (88.5%) and Pf + Bs + Bp (86.3%) as compared to untreated positive and negative controls. As for cowpea vegetative growth, the highest plant growth increase (69.0%) was observed in combined treatment of Bs+Bp follow...

...text-align: justify;">Chemiluminescent immunoassay (CIA) has been suggested as a screening test for syphilis. The potential clinical value of the false positive result of obstetric CIA screening has not been elucidated. Our study aims to investigate the possible association between CIA false-positivity for syphilis and pregnancy outcome, which may provide information for obstetric clinical management. We retrospectively investigated the singleton pregnant wome...

A total of 24 people (23.04%) were affected by thyroid dysfunction, with 7 (17.5%) men and 17 (26.5%) women suffering from clinical and subclinical forms of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, respectively. The occurrence of subclinical hypothyroidism was found to be the highest, with 10 cases (9.6%) recorded, followed by subclinical hyperthyr...

With physiological conditioning of the lipolytic activities, comparative production of thermostable lipase by the selected isolates was carried using submerged fermentation and electro-fermentation methods. An optimum lipase yield of 95.1± 0.003 U/ ml, 128± 0.001 U/ ml, 110.7± 0.003 U/ ml and 122.7± 0.002 U/ ml was produced by B. licheniformis S1S2...

The ethyl acetate extracts of all bacterial isolates were rich in phenolics, flavonoids, and hydrocarbons such as pentacosane, eicosane, hexadecane, heneicosane, pentadecane, and tetracosane. The extracts expressed an anti-inflammatory potential against the inhibition of protein denaturation by 77–95 % at 100 µg/ ml. Moreover, these extracts dis...
