Ototoxicity Monitoring using Automated Extended High-Frequency Audiometry and the Sensitive Range of Ototoxicity in Patients with MDR-TB
… emergence of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Some of the medications used to treat MDR-TB are damaging to the cochlea and auditory nerve (ototoxic) and can lead to permanent hearing loss and/or balance disorders. Ototoxicity monitoring aims to reduce this burden by preventing or …

Prevalence of multi-drug resistance tuberculosis MDR-TB and associated risk factors among patients in Vhembe Region of Limpopo. South Africa
… emergence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) strains and co-infection of TB with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have become major challenge in eradicating TB especially in low- and middle-income countries. Approximately half a million cases of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis were …

Genetic and pharmacokinetics factors associated with susceptibility to kanamycin induced cochleotoxicity in a cohort of patients undergoing MDR/RR-TB treatment
… incidence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and rifampicin resistance tuberculosis (RR-TB). The standard MDR/RR-TB regimen prescribed in South Africa, at the time of the present study included Kanamycin, an aminoglycoside with a known cochleotoxic effect. Although kanamycin has …

Mechanisms of multidrug resistance in bladder cancer: the role of the nuclear membrane
Multidrug resistance (MDR) describes the phenomenon whereby cancer cells<br/>exposed to a single cytotoxic drug develop cross resistance to numerous other<br/>structurally unrelated chemotherapeutics. The development of MDR is a major<br/>cause of cancer chemotherapy treatment failure in all types …

Genomic Association Screening Methodology for High-Dimensional and Complex Data Structures: Detecting n-Order Interactions
… Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction (MB-MDR) to detect epistatic interactions for different types of traits. MB-MDR enables the fast identification of gene-gene interactions among 1000nds of SNPs, without the need to make restrictive assumptions about the genetic modes of inheritance. …

Towards A Mobile Damping Robot For Vibration Reduction of Power Lines
… shortcomings, we propose a mobile damping robot (MDR) that integrates inspection robots' mobility and FTMDs WIV vibration control to help maintain power lines. In this effort, we model the conductor and the MDR by using Hamilton's principle and we consider the two-way nonlinear interaction between …

Study on interactions of new anticancer drugs and their utilization for modulation of multidrug resistance in solid tumors
… vysoké úmrtnosti je způsobena multirezistencí (MDR). Tento jev byl pozorován u různých typů nádorů, včetně nemalobuněčného karcinomu plic (NSCLC). Důležitou roli při vzniku MDR u pacientů s NSCLC hrají farmakokinetické mechanismy, jako jsou ABC (ATP-binding cassette) efluxní transportéry a …

A pharmacometric approach to optimal use of second line drugs for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis
… treatment regimens for multidrug resistant TB (MDR-TB) were long and toxic. Consequently, only approximately half of MDRTB patients completed their treatment. TB dosing guidelines have historically been unrefined with little consideration for pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationships. Large …

Subcellular Localization and Activity of the Multidrug Resistance Protein 1
<p>Multi-drug resistance or MDR is a major impediment to the successful administration of chemotherapy. Broadly defined, the term MDR applies to any mechanism the cell uses to counter the effects of chemotherapeutic agents, protecting the cell at once against the toxicity of many, structurally …

Investigation of a Mobile Damping Robot for Electric Transmission Lines
… fixed absorbers. A mobile damping robot (MDR) can overcome the limitations of these fixed absorbers by actively transporting them to locations of highest amplitude on the cable; i.e., antinodes. These antinodes are where the absorbers can most efficiently remove energy from the system. …

Drug resistance mechanisms and drug design strategies for human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis c virus proteases
… inhibition against the multi-drug resistant (MDR) HIV-1 protease, which is supported by the co-crystal structures of the MDR protease-darunavir complex and the MDR protease-tipranavir complex. The MDR HIV-1 protease not only decreases the susceptibility to drugs but also impedes the formation …
