Aim : To evaluate the H. pylori eradication rate in both metronidazole‐sensitive and ‐resistant strains following quadruple therapy using single‐triple capsules of bismuth biskalcitrate, metronidazole and tetracycline, given with omeprazole. Methods : One hundred and seventy valid patients with duodenal ulcer, gastric ...

Both methotrexate (MTX) and infliximab (IFX) are effective therapies for active Crohn's disease (CD); however, it is unknown whether the combination is superior to IFX alone. Methods: We conducted a 50-week, double-blind, multicenter, controlled trial that compared combination therapy to IFX alone in patients with active CD. Eligible patients had initiated prednisone induction therapy within 6 weeks. Patients previously treated with IFX and those at risk for MTX or IFX toxicity were excluded. Patients ...

These numbers led to the finding that obesity appears as a major global epidemic, affecting countries in all stages of development. In Brazil, about 13% of the population is now considered obese and estimates suggest that by the year 2025, the country will be fifth in the world in obesity ranking. Although some herbal ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive degenerative disorder affecting motoneurons and the SOD1G93A transgenic mice are widely employed to study disease physiopathology and therapeutic strategies. Despite the cellular and biochemical evidences of an early motor system dysfunction, the conventional behavioral tests do not detect early motor impairments in SOD1 mouse model. We evaluated early changes in motor behavior of ALS mice by doing the analyses of tail elevation, footprint, automatic ...

Problem statement: Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is one of the most widely consumed fresh vegetables in the world; however, its highly perishable nature limits its postharvest life. Major losses in tomato quality and quantity occur between harvest and consumption. Therefore, the application of new technologies to extend the postharvest life of this commodity is needed. The use of edible coatings appears to be a good alternative. Approach: We evaluated the effect of carnauba and mineral oil ...

Metabolic adjustment to low oxygen exposure (hypoxia) in the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei implies a shift to anaerobic metabolism. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is a key enzyme of the anaerobic metabolism described in most organisms. The structure and expression of the LDH gene, as well as the LDH isoenzymes in marine crustacean are not well defined. In the present study we characterized a gene that codes for two LDH subunits, measured their expression and detected the isoenzymes in tissues from ...

Discrete gate sizing has attracted a lot of attention recently as the EDA industry faces the challenge of optimizing large standard cell-based circuits. The discrete nature of the problem, along with complex timing models, stringent design constraints, and ever-increasing circuit sizes, make the problem very difficult to tackle. Lagrangian Relaxation (LR) is an effective technique to handle complex constrained optimization problems and therefore has been successfully applied to solve the gate sizing ...
