THE PREVALENCE OF TOXIN SHOCK SYNDROME OXIN ( TSST-1) PRODUCING CLINICAL ISOLATES OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS STRAINSISOLATED FROM SHOHADA HOSPITAL IN TABRIZ, IRAN

The Prevalence of Toxin Shock Syndrome oxin ( TSST-1) Producing Clinical Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus StrainsIsolated from Shohada Hospital in Tabriz, Iran

Abstract Background and objectives: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most important etiological agents of hospital and community acquired infections.The enterotoxins and toxin GOJI BERRIES shock syndrome toxin (TSST-1) are among the most common virulent determinants of this bacterium.They are also well-known for their super-antigenic properties.

Early diagnosis of airway closure from pigtail signature capnogram and its management in intubated small infants undergoing general anaesthesia for surgery

Spontaneous glottis closure during expiration in infants is a 151 normal protective reflex that helps prevent alveolar and small airway collapse (due to compliant chest wall) and thereby maintains functional residual capacity.Endotracheal intubation eliminates this protective mechanism and puts the infant into the risk of hypoxaemia and hypercarbia

Array-Based Underwater Acoustic Target Classification with Spectrum Reconstruction Based on Joint Sparsity and Frequency Shift Invariant Feature

The target spectrum, which is commonly used in feature extraction Fuse for underwater acoustic target classification, can be improperly recovered via conventional beamformer (CBF) owing to its frequency-variant spatial response and lead to degraded classification performance.In this paper, we propose a target spectrum reconstruction method under a

Case Report: Paradoxical acrodermatitis of Hallopeau-like eruption following anti-IL-17 therapy [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease.Up to 40% of patients with psoriasis may develop psoriatic arthritis.Currently, interleukin (IL)-17/IL-23 pathways are identified as key factors in the immunopathogenesis of both conditions.Here we describe the case of a patient who developed psoriasiform skin lesions 10 months after the i
