Evaluation of Fluorescein Diacetate Viability Staining during Treatment Follow-up Examinations of Smear Positive Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients

Background: Assessment of treatment response to pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is currently done by follow-up cultures since smear microscopy cannot distinguish viable from nonviable bacilli.This delays the therapeutic decision and increases the work load on the TB laboratories.This study evaluated the utility of fluorescein diacetate (FDA) viability

The Hippo Signaling Pathway Manipulates Cellular Senescence

The Hippo pathway, a kinase cascade, coordinates with many intracellular signals and mediates the regulation of the activities of various downstream transcription factors and their coactivators to maintain homeostasis.Therefore, the aberrant activation of the Hippo pathway and its associated molecules imposes significant stress on tissues and cells

Predictors of Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Failure in Preterm Infants With Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Respiratory support in Fridge Door Stopper Bush infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) plays an important role in the reduction of mortality and complications, but the treatment fails in some infants.This study aimed to identify the predictors of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) failure in preterm infants with RDS.This cross-sec
