| child abuse and deprivation: soul murder. | soul murder involves the deliberate traumatization or deprivation by an authority (parent) of his charge (child). the victim is robbed of his identity and of the ability to maintain authentic feelings. soul murder remains effective if the capacity to think and to know has been sufficiently interfered with--by way of brainwashing. questions are raised about pathogenesis. some suggestions are made about treatment of those whose pathogenic fantasy life has been so influenced by traumatic reality. t ... | 2004 | 512287 |
| the lipid composition of rat brain aggregating cell cultures during development. | the lipid and fatty acid composition of rat brain was studied during its development both in vivo and in an aggregating cell culture system. although the amount of lipid present in the cultures was very low, the increase in glycolipid content corresponded closely to the period of intense myelin formation. very long chain fatty acids (hydroxylated and unsubstituted) were present in 41-day cultures. in comparison to the in vivo situation, myelination was delayed in vitro and, after 40 days in cult ... | 1979 | 514541 |

| [bacteroides fragilis bacteremias: clinical and evolutive features about 33 cases (author's transl)]. | the frequency of non soil dwelling anaerobic infections is increasing. the authors report 33 cases of bacteroides fragilis bacteremias, and study the responsabilities of different factors of prognosis (especially age and underlying conditions). nitroimidazoles are very active against all bacteroides fragilis. this therapy is the drug of choice for such infections. | 1978 | 673771 |
| metronidazole treatment of liver abscess due to bacteroides fragilis. | a 67-year-old woman with a liver abscess due to bacteroides fragilis was treated with metronidazole 0.4 g orally every 8 h for 6 weeks. there was a rapid clinical improvement even though no surgical drainage was performed. by the indirect immunofluorescence technique using the patient's own strain as an antigen the antibody titer declined from 5120 to 80 in 6 months, suggesting eradication of the infecting agent. | 1978 | 675165 |

| in vitro studies of piperacilin, a new semisynthetic penicillin. | piperacillin, a new semisynthetic penicillin, was compared with other semisynthetic penicillins, cephalosporins, and aminoglycosides by the agar dilution method against 3,600 isolates of facultative gram-negative bacilli, bacteroides fragilis, and enterococci. at 64 mug/ml, piperacillin inhibited 90% of the isolates in each group of organisms tested except for escherichia coli (83% inhibited by 64 mug/ml). compared with carbenicillin, piperacillin had a 16-fold increase in activity by weight aga ... | 1978 | 677861 |
| antibiotic therapy of endometritis following cesarean section. treatment successes and failures. | a prospective clinical and microbiologic study was carried out on 413 indigent patients undergoing cesarean section. operative site infection developed in 160 (38.5%). initial treatment with penicillin and kanamycin was successful in 125 of these 160 infections (78%). thirty-five patients (22%) failed to respond to penicillin and kanamycin and were treated with clindamycin or chloramphenicol. twenty-eight of the 35 responded promptly to the additional antibiotic therapy. the remaining 7 patients ... | 1978 | 683627 |

| in vitro activity and beta-lactamase stability of bl-s786 compared with those of other cephalosporins. | in vitro activity of bl-s786, a new parenterally semisynthetic cephalosporin, was investigated against 570 bacterial isolates. bl-s786 inhibited most escherichia coli, klebsiella pneumoniae, proteus mirabilis, and salmonella. it inhibited some enterobacter and indole-positive proteus, but it was less active against these later species than was cefamandole, cefuroxime, or cefoxitin. it was not active against serratia marcescens, pseudomonas aeruginosa, or bacteroides fragilis. bl-s786 was the lea ... | 1978 | 686701 |
| veterans administration cooperative study on bowel preparation for elective colorectal operations: impact of oral antibiotic regimen on colonic flora, wound irrigation cultures and bacteriology of septic complications. | a ten hospital cooperative study comparing prophylactic oral neomycin and erythromycin base versus placebo demonstrated clinical efficacy of the antibiotics in preventing septic complications following elective colon operations. the present report concerns microbiological studies accomplished during this trial. cultures of colon contents during surgery showed the antibiotic prep reduced concentrations of both aerobes and anaerobes by approximately 10(5) bacteria/ml. virtually all major bacterial ... | 1978 | 686893 |
| in vitro activity of tiamulin (81.723 hfu), a new pleuromulin derivative, against clinically significant anaerobes. | the susceptibility of more than 40 strains of gram-negative and gram-positive anaerobes to tiamulin (sandoz 81.723 hfu), a new pleuromulin (pleuromutilin) derivative, was determined by broth dilution and agar dilution tests. the influences of density of the inoculum upon mics was studied by a specially designed pour plate-technique. bacteroides fragilis, b. vulgatus, b. splanchnicus, b. oralis, b. asaccharolyticus, b. melaninogenicus, fusobacterium fusiforme (f. nucleatum), sphaerophorus necroph ... | 1978 | 690009 |
