the effect of nitrous oxide on in vitro fertilization success rate.	the authors studied the effect of nitrous oxide on success rates for in vitro fertilization and pregnancy in women undergoing laparoscopy for oocyte retrieval. ninety-eight patients in an in vitro fertilization program were randomly assigned to an anesthetic regimen including either 0.7% (end-tidal) isoflurane with 60% nitrous oxide in oxygen, or 1.4% (end-tidal) isoflurane in oxygen. success rates for fertilization and pregnancy in 44 additional patients who declined randomization were also stu ...	2013	3605734
elevated temperature method for recovery of vibrio cholerae from oysters (crassostrea gigas).	of 222 vibrio cholerae isolates from diverse clinical and environmental sources, 219 produced visible growth in alkaline peptone broth when incubated overnight at 42 degrees c. in field trials conducted to compare enrichment at incubation temperatures of 42 and 35 degrees c, significantly higher rates of isolation (p less than 0.05) and recovery (p less than 0.01) of v. cholerae from oysters were observed at 42 degrees c.	1987	3606095
evaluation of the multitest medium for rapid presumptive identification of vibrio cholerae from environmental sources.	the multitest v. cholerae medium (vc medium) for rapid presumptive identification of vibrio cholerae was evaluated. on the basis of reactions in the vc medium, 379 strains recovered during a yearlong ecological study in calcutta were presumptively identified as v. cholerae. further phenotypic characterization of these strains revealed that the reactions of 371 (97.9%) isolates were consistent with that of v. cholerae. false-positive reactions were exhibited by eight (2.1%) strains, three of whic ...	1987	3606096
incidence of vibrio cholerae from estuaries of the united states west coast.	the incidence of vibrio cholerae in shellfish, sediment, and waters of california, oregon, and washington was determined during the summer of 1984. samples from 24 distinct estuaries were analyzed qualitatively. v. cholerae non-o1 was found in 23 estuaries and in 44.6% of the 529 samples examined. v. cholerae o1 inaba was isolated from water samples in morro bay, calif. vibrio mimicus was found in 2.3% of the samples. cholera enterotoxin was not found in cell-free filtrates of the 100 isolates t ...	1987	3606111
inherited retinal venous beading.	four generations of a family with an unusual pattern of ocular vascular abnormalities were studied. two male and three female members in two affected generations demonstrated prominent retinal venous segmental beading. various individuals demonstrated areas of focal retinal infarction, surface retinal neovascularization, vitreous hemorrhage, microaneurysm formation, altered vascular permeability with lipid exudation, and focal edema. several members demonstrated abnormalities of distribution of ...	2013	3606455
macromolecular interaction and the electrophoretic mobility of esterase-5 from drosophila pseudoobscura.	esterase-5 is one of the most polymorphic loci in drosophila pseudoobscura. some variants reportedly produce a dimeric enzyme, while a few produce a monomeric form. this paper reports the finding that during electrophoresis esterase-5 exists in a dynamic equilibrium between monomers and dimers, an equilibrium that is dependent on the running temperature of the gels. this is shown by a series of analytical electrophoresis experiments in which the apparent molecular weights of several variants are ...	2013	3606564
plasmid-mediated trimethoprim-resistance in staphylococcus aureus. characterization of the first gram-positive plasmid dihydrofolate reductase (type s1).	the trimethoprim-resistance gene located on plasmid psk1, originally identified in a multi-resistant staphylococcus aureus from australia, encodes the production of a dihydrofolate reductase (type s1), which confers a high degree of resistance to its host and is quite unlike any plasmid-encoded dihydrofolate reductase hitherto described. it has a low mr (19,700) and has a higher specific activity than the constitutive gram-negative plasmid dihydrofolate reductases. the type s1 enzyme is heat-sta ...	1987	3606580
[assay of thermolabile enterotoxins of escherichia coli and vibrio cholerae by inhibition of erythroadsorption on the gm1 ganglioside].	a gm1 erythroassay (gerydo) for heat-labile escherichia coli enterotoxin (lt) and cholera toxin (ct) is described. this assay was developed for use in poorly equipped laboratories in developing countries. it uses gm1-coated polystyrene plates and is based on the competition between the toxin to be assayed and ct covalently bound to sheep red blood cells. gerydo can detect 0.9 or 0.5 ng of ct per ml depending on the method of sensitization of erythrocytes. good quantitative and qualitative correl ...	1987	3606879
