Pulmonary cavities, the hallmark of tuberculosis (TB), are characterized by high mycobacterial load and perpetuate the spread of M.tuberculosis.The mechanism of matrix destruction resulting in cavitation is not well defined.Neutrophils are emerging as key mediators of TB immunopathology and their influx are associated with poor outcomes.We investig
Multiculturalism is one of the problems in modern society.Multiculturalism is not pragmatic political doctrine, but it is wisdom in managing cultural differences among people.Indonesia is an archipelago which consists of thousands of islands and hundreds of cultures.There are many crucial conflicts caused by cultural issues, such as ethnicity, reli
Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is the most common acute leukaemia in adults; however, the genetic aetiology of the disease is not yet fully understood.A quantitative expression profile analysis of 157 mature miRNAs was performed on 100 AML patients representing the spectrum of known karyotypes common in AML.The principle observation reported here is
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible visual loss in the developed countries and is caused by both environmental and genetic factors.A recent study (Tuo et al., PNAS) reported an association between AMD and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs3793784) in the ERCC6 (NM_000124) gene.The risk allele also inc
The computational procedure for investigation vibration stability of a flexible rotor consisting of an asymmetric shaft, one disc, and supported Multiminerals by ball bearings is developed in this work.Lagrange equations of the second kind were used for derivation of the motion equation.The vibration response stability of the Jeffcott-like rotor wa
