Genotypes of hepatitis C virus (HCV) present within 104 samples from HCV-infected individuals from Africa, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent and South-East Asia were identified by sequence comparisons in the core and NS-5 regions. Relatively short sequences (such as the 222 bp fragment of NS-...

BACKGROUND: The effect of breathing modification techniques on asthma symptoms and objective disease control is uncertain. METHODS: A prospective, parallel group, single-blind, randomised controlled trial comparing breathing training with asthma education (to control for non-specific effects of clin...

BACKGROUND: Serotype 24F is one of the emerging pneumococcal serotypes after the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV). We aimed to identify lineages driving the increase of serotype 24F in France and place these findings into a global context. METHODS: Whole-genome sequencing was per...

Famines are generally caused by decline in food production in successive years brought about by poor weather, war, or both. The consequent complex interactions between prices, employment, and assets impoverish victims and lead to sharply increased mortality. Government policy is a key determinant as...

. The extent and mechanisms of spread and vaccine-driven changes in fitness and antimicrobial resistance remain largely unquantified. Here using geolocated genome sequences from South Africa (n = 6,910, collected from 2000 to 2014), we developed models to reconstruct spread, pairing detailed human m...

PURPOSE: The Scottish Diabetes Research Network (SDRN)-diabetes research platform was established to combine disparate electronic health record data into research-ready linked datasets for diabetes research in Scotland. The resultant cohort, 'The SDRN-National Diabetes Dataset (SDRN-NDS)', has many ...

The versatility of hot embossing for shaping photonic components on-chip for mid-infrared (IR) integrated optics, using a hard mold, is demonstrated. Hot embossing via fiber-on-glass (FOG), thermally evaporated films, and radio frequency (RF)-sputtered films on glass are described. Mixed approaches ...

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a generalized skin disease that is an infectious, eruptive, occasionally fatal disease of cattle caused by a virus associated with the Neethling poxvirus in the genus Capripoxvirus of the family Poxviridae. LSD was first described in Zambia and occurs in other most Africa...

The national and international requisites for removing hunger in the Third World are discussed. It is virtually impossible for a largely agricultural country to achieve growth of its nonagricultural sector unless the agricultural sector is growing as well. The numbers of people living in absolute po...

The effects of climate change, especially global warming, can greatly affect the production performance and health of animals around the world. The national average temperature has increased by 1°C since 1970. Most livestock owners in the country feel that weather change is affecting farm animal pro...

Mass spectrometry (MS)-based top-down proteomics (TDP) has emerged as a powerful tool for characterizing proteoforms to advance both fundamental and translational research. TDP requires high-efficiency liquid-phase separation, high-resolution MS, and tandem MS. Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE)-M...

One of the best ways to understand the significance of Europe's world position is to play with a globe, a tool much neglected nowadays by geographers. We see how Europe — conventionally and traditionally a continent — comprises in reality a collection of peninsulas, islands and epicontinental seas t...
