| aeromonas and plesiomonas as possible causes of diarrhoea. | the number of reports on the isolation of aeromonas from patients with diarrhoeal disease is now large and suggests an etiological role of the bacterium. it is well established that strains of aeromonas produce an enterotoxin. this enterotoxin is cytotonic, i.e. it does not damage the membrane, and it does not cross-react immunologically with cholera toxin and escherichia coli heat-labile (lt) toxin. most enterotoxigenic strains also produce a cytotoxic protein (hemolysin), the role of which is ... | 1985 | 3899944 |
| differentiated thyroid cancer in children. | differentiated thyroid cancer in children remains a controversial disease entity. its incidence has markedly declined over the last decade since the use of radiotherapy in the treatment of benign conditions of the head, neck, and thorax was abandoned. other etiologic factors have become relatively more important. the clinical presentation of childhood thyroid cancer is similar to that found in adults, except for a higher frequency of local and distant metastases at the time of initial diagnosis. ... | 2013 | 3908407 |
