Rhino Cerebral Mucormycosis - A Case Report
Rhino cerebral Mucormycosis is an opportunistic infection caused by a saprophytic fungus which is found in soil, decaying fruits and vegetables. Usually predisposing factors for this infection are poorly controlled diabetes, ketoacidosis, leukemia ...

A time scales approach to coinfection by opportunistic diseases [PDF]
Traditional biomedical approaches treat diseases in isolation, but the importance of synergistic disease interactions is now recognized. As a first step we present and analyze a simple coinfection model for two diseases affecting simultaneously a population.

Disseminated Nocardiosis in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Report of 2 Cases
Nocardiosis is a rare, life-threatening opportunistic infection caused by bacteria in the environment that predominantly affects immunocompromised patients. Nocardiosis most commonly involves the lungs but can disseminate to other organs.

Opportunistic DF-AF Selection Relaying with Optimal Relay Selection in Nakagami-m Fading Environments [PDF]
An opportunistic DF-AF selection relaying scheme with maximal received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the destination is investigated in this paper. The outage probability of the opportunistic DF-AF selection relaying scheme over Nakagami-m fading channels is analyzed, and a closed-form solution is obtained. We perform asymptotic analysis of the outage

Abstract Maribavir, an orally bioavailable antiviral, has shown superior activity against posttransplant cytomegalovirus infection compared with conventional antivirals. It is primarily metabolized in the liver. This open‐label, single‐center study evaluated the effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of maribavir in nontransplant ...

"Opportunist" mycobacterial infections [PDF]
We were greatly impressed by the Joint Tuberculosis Committee guidelines on the management of opportunist mycobacterial infections.1 We do, however, wonder why the word “opportunist” has been used to describe the mycobacteria, other than the M tuberculosis complex, that cause human disease.

Late presentation of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia after renal transplant: A case report
The highest risk of opportunistic infections is from 1 to 6 months post-transplant. We report a rare case of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in a renal transplant recipient only on maintenance immunosuppression eleven years after transplant without ...

Heterogeneous epidemic model for assessing data dissemination in opportunistic networks [PDF]
In this paper we investigate a susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) epidemic model describing data dissemination in opportunistic networks with heterogeneous setting of transmission parameters. We obtained the estimation of the final epidemic size assuming that amount of data transferred between network nodes possesses a Pareto distribution, implying
