In this paper, a novel image watermarking method is proposed which is based on discrete wave transformation (DWT), Hessenberg decomposition (HD), and singular value decomposition (SVD).First, in the embedding process, the host image is decomposed into a number of sub-bands through multi-level DWT, and the resulting coefficients of which are then us
BACKGROUND:Fascioliasis is a severe zoonotic disease of worldwide extension caused by liver flukes.In human fascioliasis hyperendemic areas, reinfection and chronicity are the norm and anemia is the main sign.Herein, the profile of the Th1/Th2/Th17/Treg expression levels is analyzed after reinfection, correlating them with their corresponding hemat

Background/AimsTo evaluate the adjuvant effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on first-line sequential therapy (SQT) for Helicobacter pylori infection.Methods : Patients with H.pylori infections were randomly assigned to receive sequential therapy with (SQT+NAC group, n=49) or without (SQT-only group, n=50) NAC.Sequential therapy consisted of rabeprazo
