On some generalizations of the properties of the multidimensional generalized Erdélyi-Kober operators and their applications

In this paper we investigate the composition of a multidimensional generalized Erdélyi-Kober operator with differential operators of high order. In particular, with powers of the differential Bessel operator. Applications of proved properties to solving the Cauchy problem for a multidimensional polycaloric equation with a Bessel operator are show

Fractional Bessel integrals and derivatives on semi-axes

In this paper we study fractional powers of the Bessel differential operator. The fractional powers are defined explicitly in the integral form without use of integral transforms in its definitions. Some general properties of the fractional powers of the Bessel differential operator are proved and some are listed. Among them are different variations of definitions, relations with the Mellin and Hankel transforms, group property, evaluation of resolvent integral operator in terms of the Wright or generalized Mittag-Leffler function

Long-term respiratory follow-up of H1N1 infection

Background: The first case of 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus infection was documented in our Hospital on 10th August 2009. Metdods and findings: Real-time reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR) testing was used to confirm the diagnosis. All patients were treated with oseltamivir from the first day of hospitalization. Upon admission 12/44 had local patchy shadowing in their chest x-ray and additionally antibiotic regimen was added to these patients as pneumonia was suspected based on clinical evidence. In total 44 patients were hospitalized 15/ 44 had asthma, 6/44 COPD, 5/44 leukemia. Lung function was evaluated with forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 sec and diffused carbon monoxide upon discharge and every 3 months, until 6 months of observation was completed after discharge. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate whether influenza A (H1N1) had an impact on the respiratory capacity of the infected patients. Conclusions: An improvement of pulmonary function tests was observed between the first two measurements, implicating an inflammatory pathogenesis of influenza A (H1N1) to the respiratory tract. This inflammation was not associated with the severity or clinical outcome of the patients. All patients had a mild clinical course and their respiratory capacity was stable between the second and third measurement, suggesting that the duration of respiratory inflammation was two months. Early treatment with antiviral agents and vaccination represent the mainstay of management
