| endotoxemia and cholestasis. | endotoxemia has been incriminated as a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with obstructive jaundice. it has been postulated that absence of gastrointestinal bile salt flow in cholestasis enhances portal absorption of bacterial endotoxin from the intestine, thereby predisposing the host to endotoxemia and its complications. this study re-evaluates this pathologic mechanism, using new quantitative chromogenic and conventional qualitative limulus techniques for the detection of bact ... | 1988 | 3413650 |
| technique of transanal endoscopic microsurgery. | sessile adenomas are predominantly localized in the rectum and lower sigma. surgical removal is indicated but often implies an invasive surgical procedure. using conventional transanal surgical techniques, only the lower rectum can be reached and there are high rates of recurrence. the new technique combines an endoscopic view of the rectum under gas insufflation via a stereoscopic telescope with conventional surgical preparation and suturing. adenomas can be excised using the mucosectomy techni ... | 2012 | 3413659 |
| a clot-inducing wound covering with high vapor permeability: enhancing effects on epidermal wound healing in partial-thickness wounds in guinea pigs. | although the use of an occlusive wound covering accelerates the reepithelialization of a partial-thickness wound, it has the disadvantage of leading to wound exudate accumulation. the effect of an experimental polyetherurethane (peu) wound covering with a high vapor permeability was compared with an occlusive wound covering (opsite covering) and air exposure with respect to the rate of reepithelialization, eventual epidermal thickness, and scab thickness in 122 partial-thickness wounds in guinea ... | 1988 | 3413682 |
| meridional anisotropies of orientation discrimination for sine wave gratings. | the difference limen for perceived stimulus orientation was measured for thin lines, and for sine wave gratings between 2.5 and 20.0 c/deg. all observers exhibited a marked meridional anisotropy on this task with both the thin line and grating test targets. for the sine wave gratings orientation discrimination was not found to depend on their spatial frequency. contrast threshold measurements with the same set of stimuli confirmed earlier reports that the meridional anisotropy for contrast detec ... | 2012 | 3414021 |
