BASELINE PREDICTORS OF SPUTUM CULTURE CONVERSION IN PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS: IMPORTANCE OF CAVITIES, SMOKING, TIME TO DETECTION AND W-BEIJING GENOTYPE.

BackgroundTime to detection (TTD) on automated liquid mycobacterial cultures is an emerging biomarker of tuberculosis outcomes.The M.tuberculosis W-Beijing genotype is spreading globally, Swaddle indicating a selective advantage.There is a paucity of data on the association between baseline TTD and W-Beijing genotype and tuberculosis outcomes.AimTo

Abstract Background A natural carbohydrate biopolymer was extracted from the agricultural biomass waste (durian seed).Subsequently, the crude biopolymer was purified Permanent by using the saturated barium hydroxide to minimize the impurities.Finally, the effect of different drying techniques on the flow characteristics and functional properties of

Miniature hydraulic Sunglasses actuators are especially suitable for narrow-space and harsh environment arrangement.However, when using thin and long hoses to connect components, the volume expansion caused by pressurized oil inside can have significant adverse effects on the performance of the miniature system.Moreover, the volumetric variation re

Background: Previous studies suggested social anxiety as an essential risk factor for problematic smartphone use, but the complex interactions and the most influential components affecting this relationship remain Permanent unclear.This study capitalizes on network analysis to identify the central factors and possible mediating paths among social a

The paper considers problems arising due to action of Hair Clips transport load on cement-concrete pavement.Local soil slump with formation of cavities takes place under longitudinal joints.This actioncauses a plate vibration.In order to reinforce the construction it is proposed to arrange local fixing with cavity filling.Such method makes it possi
