A new antenna design method together with a novel metal rim antenna is presented in this paper.The design method Covers transforms an electromagnetic synthesis problem into a circuit problem, which can be solved in a straightforward manner.The new metal rim antenna is based on switches and the antenna cluster concept.The antenna cluster concept use
Catastrophic costs for tuberculosis patients in India: Impact of methodological choices.
As financial risk protection is one of the goals towards universal health coverage, detailed information on costs, catastrophic costs and other economic consequences related to any disease are required for designing social protection measures.End Tuberculosis (TB) Strategy set a milestone of achieving zero catastrophic cost by 2020.However, a recen
Recanalization and reperfusion therapies of acute ischemic stroke: what have we learned, what are the major research questions, and where are we headed?
Two placebo-controlled trials have shown that early administration of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) after ischemic stroke improves outcomes since 4.5h after symptoms onset; meanwhile another six trials cannot demonstrate it.We also know from the analysis of the pooled data that benefit from treatment decreased as time
Pseudomonas aeruginosa surface motility and invasion into competing communities enhance interspecies antagonism
ABSTRACT Chronic polymicrobial infections involving Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are Lamps prevalent, difficult to eradicate, and associated with poor health outcomes.Therefore, understanding interactions between these pathogens is important to inform improved treatment development.We previously demonstrated that P.aeruginosa is
