Reactivation of chronic hepatitis B infection related to imatinib mesylate therapy

Imatinib (Gleevec, Novartis), an inhibitor of BCR-ABL, platelet-derived growth factor, and KIT receptor tyrosine kinases, is widely used in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia and gastrointestinal stromal tumors. We describe a case of activation of chronic hepatitis B infection associated with imatinib therapy

IMPLEMENTATION OF USB TO USB BRIDGE FOR COMPUTER INDEPENDENT DATA TRANSFER

ABSTRACT Our paper discusses a modern approach towards the way the data is transferred to and fro in the USB mass storage devices without using a computer. We have achieved this with a system that uses an independent solution for the problem -USB to USB Bridge. This bridge will help the user to select a particular data file from the mass storage device connected to one of the ports and transfers it to the other mass storage device using some controls like explore, list, copy provided on the front panel. The data into the USB mass storage device will be explored using the USB host. The touch screen displays the list of explored files from the mass storage device. The D+ and D-are bidirectional lines, both carrying data in a single direction in TDM manner. The portability and battery operated are the major advantages of this system. It is an embedded solution to a practical problem

Design of the Arizona CoVHORT: A Population-Based COVID-19 Cohort

This study is a prospective, population-based cohort of individuals with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection and those without past infection through multiple recruitment sources. The main study goal is to track health status over time, within the diverse populations of Arizona and to identify the long-term consequences of COVID-19 on health and well-being. A total of 2,881 study participants (16.2% with a confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection) have been enrolled as of December 22, 2020, with a target enrollment of 10,000 participants and a planned follow-up of at least 2 years. This manuscript describes a scalable study design that utilizes a wide range of recruitment sources, leveraging electronic data collection to capture and link longitudinal participant data on the current and emerging issues associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The cohort is built within a collaborative infrastructure that includes new and established partnerships with multiple stakeholders, including the state's public universities, local health departments, tribes, and tribal organizations. Challenges remain for ensuring recruitment of diverse participants and participant retention, although the electronic data management system and timing of participant contact can help to mitigate these problems. © Copyright © 2021 Catalfamo, Heslin, Shilen, Khan, Hunsaker, Austhof, Barraza, Cordova-Marks, Farland, Garcia-Filion, Hoskinson, Jehn, Kohler, Lutrick, Harris, Chen, Klimentidis, Bell, Ernst, Jacobs and Pogreba-Brown.Open access journalThis item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.
