PREVALENCE OF P24 ANTIGEN AMONG A COHORT OF HIV ANTIBODY NEGATIVE BLOOD DONORS IN SOKOTO, NORTH WESTERN NIGERIA - THE QUESTION OF SAFETY OF BLOOD TRANSFUSION IN NIGERIA

INTRODUCTION: Blood transfusions remain a substantial source of HIV in SSA particularly among children and pregnant women.Aims and objectives: This aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the prevalence of p24 antigen among HIV antibody seronegative blood donors in Sokoto, North West Nigeria.METHODS: A total of 15,061 HIV antibody negati

As a new type of electronic components, a memristive device is receiving worldwide attention and can enrich the dynamical behaviors of the oscillating system.In this paper, we propose a 3D jerk system by introducing a generalized memristive device.It viqua-f4 is found that the dynamical behaviors of the system are sensitive to the initial condition

Abstract Endoplasmic reticulum exit sites (ERESs) are ER subdomains where coat protein complex II carriers are assembled for ER-to-Golgi transport.We previously proposed a dynamic capture-and-release model of ERESs by Golgi stacks in plants.However, read more how ERESs and Golgi stacks maintain a stable interaction in plant cells with vigorous cyto

An important problem in neuronal computation is to discern how features of stimuli control the timing of action potentials.One aspect of this problem is to determine how an action potential, or spike, can be elicited with the least energy cost, e.g., a minimal amount of applied current.Here we show in the Hodgkin & Huxley model of the action potent
