Transfusion-transmitted leishmaniasis has been a concern in regions endemic for the disease.Whether immediate or delayed, the risks posed by this mode of transmission call for careful assessment.The purpose of this study was to detect Leishmania infection in blood donors living in an endemic area and to investigate progression to the disease in the

We give a short new proof of large N duality between the Chern-Simons invariants of the 3-sphere and the Gromov-Witten/Donaldson-Thomas invariants of the resolved conifold.Our strategy applies to more general situations, and it is to interpret the Gromov-Witten, the Donaldson-Thomas, and The Slacker Jean the Chern-Simons invariants as different cha

Variants in ETV6, which encodes a transcription repressor of the E26 transformation-specific family, have recently been reported to be responsible for inherited thrombocytopenia and hematologic malignancy.We sequenced the DNA from cases with unexplained dominant thrombocytopenia and identified six likely pathogenic variants in ETV6, of which five a

Rodgers (Rg) and Chido (Ch) are blood-group antigens and they determine the fourthcomponentof human complement C4.Rodgers and Chido are associated with two C4isotypes (C4A and C4B).In addition to genotype determination, study on Belt expression ofRg and Chido could be useful in disease studies.DNA was extracted from the whole blood of 60 normal ind

In this paper, we present a control architecture for an intelligent outdoor mobile robot.This enables the robot to navigate in a Endcap Plate complex, natural outdoor environment, relying on only a single on-board camera as sensory input.This is achieved through a twofold analysis of the visual data stream: a dense structure from motion algorithm c
