Intestinal tuberculosis as a cause of chronic diarrhoea among patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection: report of two cases.
2001
In Western countries human immunodeficiency virus infection is considered the main risk factor of tuberculous disease, its incidence being 500 times higher in HIV-infected patients than in the general population. Despite the disease frequently present in these patients with extraintestinal manifestations, intestinal localization is rarely observed and often as a consequence of complications such as acute gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation. The diagnosis of intestinal tuberculosis is difficult and is often delayed due to the lack of specific signs and symptoms as well as the low sensitivity of routine methods. A review of the literature is made and personal experience in the diagnosis …
Skulls, Tree Bark, Fossils
2021
AbstractStudies of material objects in the field of memory studies have followed diverse epistemological and disciplinary trajectories, but their shared characteristic has been the questioning of philosophical assumptions concerning human relations with inanimate things and lower-level organic objects, such as plants, within the Aristotelian hierarchy of beings. Rather than accept at face value their categorizations as passive or deficient in comparison to the human subject, critical scholarship has reformulated the place and role of nonhuman entities in culture. This essay examines the nexus of materiality and memory in the work of the French philosopher and art historian Georges Didi-Hube…
Vegetable and Fruit Intakes Are Associated with hs-CRP Levels in Pre-Pubertal Girls
2017
The influence of diet on inflammation in children remains unclear. We aimed to analyze the influence of diet on high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in a pre-pubertal population free of other influences that may affect hs-CRP levels. We determined hs-CRP levels in 571 six- to eight-year-old children using an hs-CRP ELISA kit. Information on food and nutrient intake was obtained through a food-frequency questionnaire. Overall dietary quality was assessed using the Healthy Eating Index (HEI). We found that girls in the highest tertile of hs-CRP levels had a higher intake of saturated fatty acid, and lower intakes of fiber and vitamin E and a lower HEI score when compared to tho…
Genetic and aromatic diversity of the Burgundy truffle
2013
Truffles are ectomycorrhizal Ascomycota fungi belonging to the Tuberaceae family and more specifically to the Tuber genus. More than thirty Tuber species are currently described in Europe. In this thesis, we specifically focused on the Tuber aestivum-uncinatum model. This truffle is commonly called "Burgundy Truffle" and has a gastronomic and cultural interest.The first part of this thesis focused on the taxonomic status of the Burgundy truffle (Tuber uncinatum). For this, we used a multi-marker approach combining several genetic markers commonly used at the interspecific scale. Our analyses showed that the two taxa, Tuber aestivum (summer truffle) and Tuber uncinatum are conspecific.In the…
Konteineru tehnoloģijas izmantošana programmatūras izstrādē
2019
Pēdējo gadu laikā, kopš Docker parādīšanās, strauji ir pieaugusi konteineru tehnoloģijas izmantošana programmatūras izstrādē, tādēļ bakalaura darba mērķis ir izpētīt šo tehnoloģiju, apskatīt tās pamatus, uzbūvi, realizācijas veidus un kā to var pielietot programmatūras izstrādē, kā arī praktiski izmēģināt kādu no apskatītajām tehnoloģijas implementācijām.
Servisu pārcelšana uz Kubernetes infrastruktūru
2022
Servisu pārvaldīšana un attīstība nestāv uz vietas, bet visu laiku iet uz priekšu. Jaunākais veids servisu pārvaldīšanai, uzturēšanai un sekošanai ir tās uzstādīšana uz Kubernetes (k8s) tehnoloģijas. Kubernetes tehnoloģijas ietver sevī jaunus risinājumus, kā stabila darbība, datu drošība, rezerves kopijas pārvalde, tās veikšanas plānošana un efektīvāka resursu pielietošana. Jaunas tehnoloģijas kopā ar jaunam iekārtam nodrošina lielāku veiktspēju jauniem servisiem un sistēmām iestādē.
Brīvu mākoņresursu pieejamība datu analīzei
2021
Mākoņresursi ir ļoti izplatīti un paliek ar vien populārāki un uztur ļoti lielu daļu internetā pieejamo resursu, kā rezultāta tiek veidotas lielas infrastruktūras šīs informācijas nodrošināšanai. Liela daļa resursu no šīm infrastruktūrām netiek pilnībā izmantoti. Tas liecina, ka ir daudz brīvi pieejamu resursu, kurus var potenciāli izmantot datu analīzei. Tādēļ bakalaura darba izstrādes gaitā tiks meklēts un izstrādāts risinājums, ar kuru palīdzību veicot liela apjoma datu apstrādi paralēli citiem procesiem, tie neietekmē galveno procesu veiktspēju. Risinājums tiek balstīts uz to, ka brīvu mākoņresursu pieejamais daudzums ir aptuveni 70% un tie ir potenciāli izmantojami datu analīzei, veido…
Nuclear modification of forward Drell-Yan production at the LHC
2017
Forward Drell-Yan production at high energy can provide important constraints on gluon densities at small $x$, in the saturation regime. In this work we focus on the nuclear modification of this process, which could be measured at the LHC in the near future. For this we employ the color dipole approach, using the optical Glauber model to relate the dipole cross section of a nucleus to the one of a proton. Combining these results with our earlier results for forward $J/\psi$ production, we compute the ratio of the nuclear modification factors of these two processes. This observable was recently suggested as a way to distinguish between initial and final state effects in forward particle prod…
Forward rapidity isolated photon production in proton-nucleus collisions
2018
We calculate isolated photon production at forward rapidities in proton-nucleus collisions in the Color Glass Condensate framework. Our calculation uses dipole cross sections solved from the running coupling Balitsky-Kovchegov equation with an initial condition fit to deep inelastic scattering data and extended to nuclei with an optical Glauber procedure that introduces no additional parameters beyond the basic nuclear geometry. We present predictions for future forward RHIC and LHC measurements. The predictions are also compared to updated results for the nuclear modification factors for pion production, Drell-Yan dileptons and $J/\psi$ mesons in the same forward kinematics, consistently c…
Determination of isoniazid and pyridoxine in plasma sample of tuberculosis patients by micellar liquid chromatography
2021
It is no doubt Isoniazid is a powerful tuberculosis drug, but it might give rise to Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) deficiency. In this case, a usual treatment is the combined administration of Isoniazid and Pyridoxine. An easy-to-conduct procedure based on Micellar Liquid Chromatography has been developed to quantify Isoniazid and Pyridoxine in plasma from Tuberculosis patients. The sample was diluted in mobile phase, filtered and directly injected, thus avoiding extraction or purification steps. Both drugs were adequately resolved from the matrix and endogenous compounds using a mobile phase made up of 0.15 M sodium dodecyl sulfate – 8%(v/v) 1-butanol – 0.01 M phosphate buffer at pH 3, running at…
