13c nmr studies of carboxylate inhibitor binding to cobalt(ii) carboxypeptidase a.	both 13c nmr and electronic absorption spectral studies on cobalt(ii) carboxypeptidase a in the presence of acetate and phenylacetate provide evidence for two binding sites for each of these agents. the transverse relaxation rate t2-1 for the 13c-enriched carboxyl groups of the inhibitors is significantly increased when bound to the paramagnetic cobalt carboxypeptidase as compared to the diamagnetic zinc enzyme. the acetate concentration dependence of t2p-1 shows two inflections indicative of se ...	2012	3346659
transient heart block associated with head trauma.	atrioventricular nodal block is a rare consequence of head trauma. we report a case of a 63-year-old male with coronary artery disease who sustained a skull fracture. twelve hours later the cardiac monitor recorded an episode of high-grade atrioventricular block with a ventricular escape rhythm. subsequent electrophysiologic evaluation revealed no abnormality of atrioventricular nodal conduction nor of intraventricular conduction. atrioventricular block after head trauma may be caused by enhance ...	2011	3346929

diagnosis of right ventricular involvement in chronic inferior myocardial infarction by means of body surface qrs changes.	st segment elevation in right precordial leads is thought to be good predictor of right ventricular involvement in patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction. this view, however, is rapidly disappearing. therefore, using qrs changes in body surface potential maps in the chronic phase, we have attempted to differentiate patients with or without right ventricular involvement. thirty patients with chronic inferior myocardial infarction (2 or more months after onset) were studied, in whom 87 ...	2012	3370768
lactational response to soybean meal, heated soybean meal, and extruded soybeans with ruminally protected methionine.	seventy-three high producing holstein cows were arranged in a 3 x 2 factorial to evaluate three protein supplements (soybean meal, heat-treated soybean meal, and extruded blend of soybeans and soybean meal) without or with 15 g/head/d of ruminally protected dl-methionine during wk 4 through 16 postpartum. total mixed diets contained (dm basis) 30% corn silage, 15% alfalfa hay, and 55% of the respective concentrate mix. milk production was higher when cows were fed either heated soybean product i ...	1988	3372801
skull development during anuran metamorphosis: i. early development of the first three bones to form--the exoccipital, the parasphenoid, and the frontoparietal.	in anuran amphibians, cranial bones typically first form at metamorphosis when they rapidly invest or replace the cartilaginous larval skull. we describe early development of the first three bones to form in the oriental fire-bellied toad, bombina orientalis--the parasphenoid, the frontoparietal, and the exoccipital--based on examination of serial sections. each of these bones is fully differentiated by gosner stage 31 (hindlimb in paddle stage) during premetamorphosis. this is at least six gosn ...	2012	3379643

disappearance and effects of exogenous lipid transfer activity in rats.	these studies were performed to determine the role of plasma lipid transfer activity in the regulation of plasma total and lipoprotein cholesterol in vivo. partially purified human lipid transfer activity was injected into rats at a level similar to that of normal rabbit plasma, d greater than 1.21. the disappearance of exogenous lipid transfer activity from rat plasma was biphasic, with a 70% loss within 6 h. the remaining 30% was lost with a half-time of about 14 h. in the rat, short-term expo ...	1986	3768397
antibacterial interaction of cefuroxime and serum from uraemic patients.	a strain of proteus rettgeri was exposed to combinations of subinhibitory concentrations of cefuroxime and serum from normal subjects and from uraemic patients (on conservative and on haemodialysis treatment) and the antibacterial activity of these was determined. cefuroxime and normal serum gave a synergistic effect. compared with controls, the combination of cefuroxime and uraemic serum from patients on conservative treatment showed a reduced inhibitory effect. the antibacterial activity of th ...	1986	3771426
[frequency of isolation and drug resistance of bacterial strains from urine samples tested in the bacteriology and virology laboratory of the u.s.l. 10/d in florence].	two thousand five hundred and sixty-eight positive monomicrobic urine samples (from general practice and hospital wards) were examined and isolated strains were tested against various antimicrobial drugs. our findings showed that urinary-tract infections caused by escherichia coli were the most common in females, whereas those by pseudomonas aeruginosa, proteus rettgeri, enterobacter species, other difficult gram-negative rods and streptococcus faecalis were in total the most common in males. if ...	1986	3786667

synovial osteochondromatosis.	synovial osteochondromatosis is a benign disorder in which cartilaginous loose bodies develop about the large joints, usually the knee. it is caused by synovial metaplasia of unknown etiology. symptoms are due either to mechanical problems caused by the loose bodies or to the degenerative arthritis that usually follows in several years. surgical or arthroscopic removal of the loose bodies appears to be the only effective treatment. loose bodies may recur, necessitating synovectomy.	2013	3812170
fine needle aspiration biopsy in the diagnosis of thyroid cancer and thyroid disease.	fine needle aspiration biopsy (fnab) performed for diffuse and nodular goiter in the past 5 years, was evaluated in 1399 cases. surgery was performed on the basis of fnab cytologic diagnosis that was positive or suggestive of malignancy and/or a suggestive clinical history. surgery also was performed in cases of cold nodules with negative fnab results that did not respond to 6 months of suppressive thyroxine therapy. a correlation of cytologic findings with histologic findings was possible in 41 ...	2008	3815295

powerline frequency electric and magnetic fields: a pilot study of risk perception.	the perception of the potential risk arising from human exposure to 50/60 hz electric and magnetic fields was studied with a quasi-random sample of 116 well-educated, opinion leaders using the risk perception framework previously developed by slovic, fischhoff, and lichtenstein. these individuals rated exposure to fields from transmission lines and electric blankets on a variety of scales that have been found useful in characterizing people's risk attitudes and perceptions. these judgments allow ...	1985	3843677

ceftriaxone against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria: bactericidal and post-antibiotic effect.	the effect of ceftriaxone against gram-negative and gram-positive strains of different clinical isolates has been compared to that of other cephalosporins such as cefuroxime, cefoxitin and cefotaxime. cefotaxime and ceftriaxone have a notably higher activity against enterobacteriaceae than cefuroxime and cefoxitin. if ceftriaxone activity is compared to cefotaxime activity, it may be seen that the former shows a stronger action against pseudomonas, proteus rettgeri, enterobacter and serratia. ag ...	1985	3875430
