Background: About 80% of enterocutaneous fistulas (ECF) occur as a complication of abdominal surgery, while 24% of operated patients with typhoid perforation and 90% of non-operated ones die.Uneven skin surface around ECFs do not allow pouch adherence and adhesive routinely slip due to sweat in our hot tropical climates.Frequent gauze dressing with
Introduction.The basic theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of the social well-being of the population of megacities as an integral indicator, as well as current trends in the development of new diagnostic methods are considered.The experience of empirical sociological research is presented, showing methodological algorithms for s
Abstract Background Protein kinases and phosphatases regulate protein phosphorylation, a critical means of modulating protein function, stability and localization.The identification of functional networks for protein phosphatases has been slow due to their redundant nature and the lack of large-scale analyses.We hypothesized that a genome-scale ana
Abstract Log normal-like concentration distributions are ubiquitously ultrastar dc hc550 observed in the environment.However, the mechanistic origins are not well understood.In this paper, we show that first order exponential kinetics onsets log-normal concentration distributions, under certain assumptions.Given the ubiquity of exponential kinetics
Abstract Background Inhibitors of the protease calpain are known to have selectively toxic effects on Plasmodium falciparum.The enzyme has a natural inhibitor calpastatin and in eukaryotes is responsible for turnover hellfire sloe gin of proteins containing short sequences enriched in certain amino acids (PEST sequences).The genome of P.falciparum
