A giant star has a substantially larger radius and luminosity than a main-sequence (or dwarf) star of the same surface temperature. [1] They lie above the main sequence (luminosity class V in the Yerkes spectral classification) on the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram and correspond to luminosity classes II and III. [2]
Rifampicin, also known as rifampin, is an ansamycin antibiotic used to treat several types of bacterial infections, including tuberculosis (TB), Mycobacterium avium complex, leprosy, and Legionnaires' disease. [3]
During the 2002 Red Nova, the star's radius may have increased up to 3,190 R ☉. [82] Pistol Star (V4647 Sagittarii) 420 [83] L/T eff: One of the most luminous stars known. La Superba (Y Canum Venaticorum) 344 [84] L/T eff: Mira (ο Ceti A) 332–402 [85] AD Prototype of the Mira variables. Orbit of Mars: 322 – 323.1 [10] [b] Reported for ...

This is a list of the nearest giant stars (luminosity class III or II) to the Earth, located at a distance of up to 100 light-years (31 pc). List. Name
Alpha Lupi (α Lupi, α Lup), also named Uridim, [11] is a blue giant star, and the brightest star in the southern constellation of Lupus.According to the Bortle Dark-Sky Scale, its apparent visual magnitude of 2.3 [2] makes it readily visible to the naked eye even from highly light-polluted locales.
The hope of a fixed-dose combination pill is to increase the likelihood that people will take all of three medications. [5] Also, if people forget to take one or two of their drugs, they might not then develop resistance to the remaining drugs.
Rifampin rapidly kills fast-dividing bacilli strains as well as "persisters" cells, which remain biologically inactive for long periods of time that allow them to evade antibiotic activity. [7] In addition, rifabutin and rifapentine have both been used against tuberculosis acquired in HIV-positive patients.
