| isolation and characterization of a newly identified haemophilus species from cats: "haemophilus felis". | a gram-negative coccobacillus was isolated from the lower respiratory tract of a cat with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. the isolate required co2 and v factor for growth and was initially identified as haemophilus paraphrophilus on the basis of its nutritional requirements, colony morphology, and some biochemical tests. because of the host specificity of haemophilus species and discrepancies in catalase, oxidase, and hemolytic activities, additional testing was done. extensive biochemica ... | 1992 | 1500518 |
| recent studies on regulation of gastric motility in turkeys. | recent studies have been aimed at determining how gastroduodenal contractions are initiated and at regulation of the stomach during the intestinal phase of gastric regulation. intrinsic, myogenic, electrical slow waves, the principal regulators of motility in the mammalian gut, have not been found in the avian gut. instead, contractions appear to be initiated by a neurogenic pacemaker located between the gastric isthmus and the pylorus. pacemaker impulses travel over the myenteric plexus to the ... | 2006 | 1539009 |
| protein kinase c activity affects glucose-induced oscillations in cytoplasmic free ca2+ in the pancreatic b-cell. | acute stimulation of protein kinase c (pkc) inhibited glucose-induced slow oscillations in cytoplasmic free ca(2+)-concentration, [ca2+]i, in mouse pancreatic b-cells. in pkc-depleted cells glucose induced rapid transients in [ca2+]i, lasting for approximately 10 s, superimposed on the slow oscillations in [ca2+]i. it was demonstrated that the transients did not occur in the absence of extracellular ca2+. each transient typically was preceded by a slow increase in [ca2+]i, representing the risin ... | 1992 | 1592121 |
| transforming growth factor beta induces myoblast differentiation in the presence of mitogens. | transforming growth factor beta 1 (tgf-beta 1) added to l6e9 rat skeletal myoblasts in mitogen-rich medium induces a rapid decrease in c-myc expression and delays progression through the g1 phase of the cell cycle. this growth inhibitory response is followed by cell commitment to terminal differentiation with elevated expression of myogenin muscle determination genes, induction of muscle-specific proteins, and formation of multinucleated myotubes. these results suggest that tgf-beta 1 may act as ... | 1992 | 1594628 |
| ventriculopleural shunting used as a temporary diversion. | due to the limited absorptive capacity of the pleural cavity, infants and young children are not generally ideal candidates for ventriculopleural shunts. we report using chest cavities as alternate for temporary diversion of csf in a young child. venous access to the cervical region could not be utilized because of scarring from previous procedures, while peritoneal access was contraindicated due to repeated pseudocyst formation. pleural effusions were removed by thoracentesis when necessary, an ... | 2006 | 1595400 |
| retinal vein occlusion. | retinal vein occlusion is a common form of retinal vascular disease, especially in middle-aged and older individuals. the diagnosis is based on the funduscopic finding of retinal vein dilatation in association with retinal hemorrhages and cotton-wool spots. the pathology can involve the entire venous system or can be limited to a branch of the central retinal vein. retinal vein occlusion can be distinguished clinically from diabetic retinopathy and other retinal diseases. treatment for the acute ... | 2006 | 1595515 |
