BACKGROUND: Two polymorphisms, -260C/T and -651C/T, in the CD14 gene have been implicated in susceptibility to cancer.However, the results remain inconclusive.This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the association between the two polymorphisms and risk of cancer.METHODS: All eligible case-control studies published up to March 2014 were identified
Brazil was the last country in the Americas to abolish transatlantic trade of people, and even today the African descendant suffers from the marginalization of his figure, due to the whitening of his identity and knowledge.This practice, known as epistemological colonialism, affects mainly, but not exclusively, the academic production of Internatio
Intro: Acinetobacter oleivorans is an environmental isolate that has rarely been reported to cause human infections, unlike the more notorious nosocomial pathogen, Acinetobacter baumannii.In this study, two clinical isolates of A.oleivorans from Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah in Terengganu were subjected to whole genome sequencing and the resulting
Ion-selective field effect transistors (ISFETs) exhibit instability, commonly known as drift, in the form of a slow, monotonic, temporal increase in the threshold voltage of the device.A method for counteracting instability inspired by a physical model for threshold voltage drift in pH-sensitive ISFETs is 1969 corvette seat covers presented.This me
