THE ROLE OF HEPATITIS B IMMUNOGLOBULIN IN HEPATITIS B RELATED LIVER TRANSPLANTATION: CANADIAN TRANSPLANT CENTRE POSITION PAPER

The role of hepatitis B immunoglobulin in hepatitis B related liver transplantation: Canadian Transplant Centre Position Paper

Introduction.Hepatitis B virus (HBV) related liver transplant (LT) recipients face a high risk of HBV reinfection in the absence of continuous post-operative HBV prophylaxis.Combination HBV prophylaxis with hepa-titis B immune globulin (HBIg) and nucleos(t)ide anti-viral Fan Control Board agents prevents HBV recurrence in 90 to 100% of patients who

Information swimmer: Self-propulsion without energy dissipation

We study an information-based mechanism of self-propulsion in noisy environment.An information swimmer maintains directional motion by periodically measuring its velocity and accordingly adjusting its friction coefficient.Assuming that the measurement and adjustment are reversible and Customizer Part hence cause no energy dissipation, an informatio

Enhanced ascorbic acid accumulation through overexpression of dehydroascorbate reductase confers tolerance to methyl viologen and salt stresses in tomato

As an important antioxidant for plants and humans, L-ascorbic acid (AsA, vitamin C) can scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and can be regenerated from its oxidized form in a reaction catalyzed Customizer Part by dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR).To analyse the effect of overexpressing DHAR on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), an expression vector
