AIM:To compare the effectiveness of triple, standard quadruple and ampicillin-sulbactam-based quadruple therapies for H pylori eradication in a comparative threearmed randomized clinical trial. METHODS:A total of 360 H pylori -positive patients suffering from dyspepsia and aging 24-79 years with a median age of 42 years were enrolled in the study and randomly allocated into the following three groups: group A (n = 120) received a standard 1-wk triple therapy ( Chi-square test with the consideration of P < 0.05 as significant was used to compare the eradication rates by intention-to-treat and per-protocol analyses in the three groups. RESULTS:The per-protocol eradication rate was 91.81% (101 patients from a total of 110) in group A, 85.84% (97 patients from a total of 113) in group B, and 92.85% (104 patients from a total of 112) in group C. The intentionto-treat eradication rate was 84.17% in group A, 80.83% in group B, and 86.67% in group C. The new protocol yielded the highest eradication rates by both per-protocol and intention-to-treat analyses followed by the standard triple and quadruple regimens, respectively. However, the differences were not statistically significant between the three groups. CONCLUSION:The results of this study provide further support for the equivalence of triple and quadruple therapies in terms of effectiveness, compliance and sideeffect profile when administered as first-line treatment for H pylori infection. Moreover, the new protocol using ampicillin-sulbactam instead of amoxicillin in the quadruple regimen is a suitable first-line alternative to be
A model of a fuzzy-firing neuron, called "fuzzioid," is proposed. It is a generalization (the fuzzification) of the bina.ry (on or off) model of a neuron. The model is based on a new concept that the firing action in a neuron is fuzzy-there is an intensity (or a degree) of firing. A fuzzy connectionist system as a network of fuzzily interconnected neurons, where each connecting link (axon/dendrite synapse) is modelled by an elastic device called fuzzistor, is also developed. The system's knowledge of its external world is stored as fuzzistances (connection strengths) among the neurons.
Agricultural sector is one of the economic sectors that always had a considerable impact on the country's export. The garden between products and facilities due to capacity and the relative advantage in the production always plays an important role in the non-oil export. The aim of these studies of economic issues, is to analyze the major marketing dried fruit (pistachio, almond rock, walnuts, and walnut) in Fars province. In this study, information and statistics needed were collected through interviews with experts and Agriculture Organization of Fars province. For this purpose the method used in this study is commonly used in economic texts and retail margins and wholesale agents and share marketing costs with the market ratio. The results of this study indicate that factor market costs for pistachio, almonds, walnuts and Mghzgrdv are 30.340, 21.167, 16.794 and 17.061.
Purpose:The main purpose of this article is the effect of exchange rate fluctuations, oil prices, and stock market index on the financial instability index using the Markov switching rotation mode in 2009-2018 in the form of monthly data. Design/Methodology/Approach: In this research, the Toolbox-Violet wavelet transform model has been used to extract the exchange rate fluctuations, oil prices, and stock market indices. Findings: The results indicated that the effect of exchange rate fluctuations in various regimes and periods is different. Exchange rate fluctuations in the high regime of the financial instability index and the short term have a different effect compared to other periods. Oil price fluctuations have a positive and significant effect in the medium and long term, regardless of the financial instability regime, which will be more substantial in the long run. Moreover, stock market fluctuations have a negative and significant effect only in the short term when the financial instability index in the regime is low. Practical implications: According to results of this article, fluctuations have different effects depending on the period and the level of financial instability. Therefore, the management of foreign exchange and stock markets in the country should be performed based on the level of financial instability and the period of fluctuations. Originality/value: This research provides a new perspective on understanding the impact and transmission or fluctuations between markets and their impact on each other in recent decades.
Purpose:The purpose of writing this study is to evaluate the efficiency of the country`s banking network about the number of changes in the asset market, including the stock market and the foreign exchange market. Design/Methodology/Approach: This paper uses the Markov rotation model for the period 2008:3-2018:3 quarterly. The Hodrick Prescott filter was used to extract exchange rate fluctuations, stock market indicators, and commercial cycles. Findings: The results indicated that commercial cycles have a negative and significant effect on all banking network efficiency regimes. Exchange rate fluctuations had a negative and significant effect on the high regime of banking network efficiency and a positive and significant effect on the low regime of banking network efficiency. Fluctuations in the stock index had no significant effect on the high regime of efficiency, but they had a positive and significant effect on the banking network efficiency in its low regime. The results showed that the probability of a banking network being in a low-efficiency regime is increasing in the coming years. Practical Implications: These findings provide a better understanding of how business cycles affect banking network performance regimes. Originality/Value: The results of this study remind the Exchange and Stock Markets Organization in the country that their management should be carried out based on the level and efficiency regime of the banking network.
