Classification of cancer cells and gene selection based on microarray data using MOPSO algorithm.

Purpose: Microarray information is crucial for the identification and categorisation of malignant tissues. The very limited sample size in the microarray has always been a challenge for classification design in cancer research. As a result, by pre-processing gene selection approaches and genes lacking their information, the microarray data are deleted prior to categorisation.

Clinically significant drug interactions between antiretroviral and co-prescribed drugs in HIV infected patients: retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: There are limited data on human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) infected people in the UAE and the Gulf region. This study aimed at assessing the prevalence and risk factors for potential clinically significant drug interactions (CSDIs) in a cohort of 181 HIV infected people in Dubai.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at the outpatient infectious diseases clinic of Rashid hospital.

Giant benign prostatic hyperplasia: A case report.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is prostate weighting f over 500g and is usually public in men older than fifty years. A case of 78-year-old man was referred to Sina hospital complaining of urinary frequency. His total prostate-specific antigen was 17.

Effects of feeding with broiler litter in pellet-form diet on Qizil fattening lambs' performance, nutrient digestibility, blood metabolites and husbandry economics.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feeding of Qizil fattening lambs with different levels of broiler litter (BL) on their weight gain, dry matter intake (DMI), nutrient digestibility, selected blood metabolites and husbandry economics. During an eight-weeks experimental period, 28 male lambs (an average of 42.21 ± 5.

Effects of N-acetylcysteine on arterial neo-intimal hyperplasia in rat model of arteriovenous fistula.

Introduction:: Arteriovenous fistula is the best choice for vascular access in hemodialysis patients. However, arteriovenous fistula dysfunction is a major clinical issue. The most common cause of arteriovenous fistula failure is intimal hyperplasia.

Effects of persistent luminescence decay on mechanoluminescence phenomena of SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ materials.

This Letter reveals for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, the effects of stress-free persistent luminescence (PL) decay on the mechanoluminescence (ML) phenomena and the effects of stresses and strain rates on the PL decay of SrAl(2)O(4):Eu(2+), Dy(3+) (SAOED) materials. Previous research on ML phenomena in this material has focused on the effects of strain rates and stress variations on ML light intensity. However, experimental evidence provided herein shows that the ML light emission is also related to the PL decay time elapsed until the onset of stressing and the PL decay rate is dependent on the stress, strain rate, and the stress-free PL decay time interval.
