Molecular cloning and characterization of taurocyamine kinase from Clonorchis sinensis: a candidate chemotherapeutic target.

BACKGROUND: Adult Clonorchis sinensis lives in the bile duct and causes endemic clonorchiasis in East Asian countries.Phosphagen kinases (PK) constitute a highly conserved family of enzymes, which play a role in ATP buffering in cells, and are potential targets for chemotherapeutic agents, since variants of PK are found only in invertebrate animals

Global Optimization of Nonlinear Blend-Scheduling Problems

The scheduling of gasoline-blending operations is an important problem in the oil refining industry.This problem not only exhibits the combinatorial nature that is intrinsic to scheduling problems, but also non-convex nonlinear behavior, due to the blending of various materials with different quality properties.In this work, a global optimization a

Imaging Findings of Inferior Vena Cava Web Associated with Primary Budd Chiari Syndrome- A Case Report in Elderly Male

ABSTRACT Budd Chiari Syndrome (BCS) is characterised by obstruction of hepatic venous outflow and Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) causing portal hypertension.The gold standard imaging for such a case is Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT).The conventional treatment of BCS involves systemic thrombolysis, surgical shunt (transjugular intrahepatic p
