[nonocclusive ischemic enteropathy--a rare cause of ileus].the cause for a nonocclusive ischemic enteropathy seems to be a low cardiac output syndrome. there are often signs of a paralytic intestinal obstruction. parameters of the blood chemistry offer no conclusive data. the angiogram of the mesenteric vessels demonstrates extensive arterial vasoconstriction as well as an obstructed venous outflow. experimental findings disclose that this venous obstruction may be a result of an ischemic contracture in the course of a low flow state. this rigor initiat ...20133840557

protein loss of bovine dental enamel during in-vitro subsurface demineralization.a chemical system based on the dialysis principle was used to study protein loss of dental enamel during demineralization with an acetic-acid buffer solution containing calcium and phosphate, in which the fluoride-ion activity was kept constant. this resulted in a subsurface lesion, with a depth of about 130 microns. after demineralization, protein material was isolated from the demineralization solution. u.v. spectra of the protein showed strong absorbance between 240 and 300 nm. amino-acid com ...19853865639
role of the posterior capsule in the prevention of postoperative bacterial endophthalmitis: experimental primate studies and clinical implications.the posterior capsule has an important effect on the risk of postoperative bacterial endophthalmitis. in order to investigate whether the posterior capsule inhibited the spread of infection into the vitreous we performed extracapsular cataract extraction in both eyes of 10 primates. in one eye of each primate the posterior capsule was left intact and in the other eye a large posterior capsulectomy was performed. when the anterior chambers were challenged with equivalent inocula of staphylococcus ...19853877524
addition of three new serotypes of shigella boydii to the shigella schema.no new serotypes have been added to the shigella schema since 1958, although several provisional serotypes have been described. we conducted biochemical and serological studies on three provisional shigella boydii serotypes. four strains of serotype 2710-54 from four widely separated countries, 7 strains of serotype 3615-53 from three different countries, and 31 strains of serotype 1344-78 (e10163) from six different countries were included. reactions of all three serotypes were consistent with ...19853881469
cranial ultrasound and clinical studies in preterm infants.serial ultrasound imaging of the brain was used to determine the ventricular index (vi), and the ratio (vr) of the vi to the cranial hemidiameter during the nursery course and first year post-term in preterm infants of less than 33 weeks gestation. twenty-nine of the infant survivors with no intracranial hemorrhage or major medical complication during their nursery course composed group 1. twenty-two survivors with intracranial hemorrhage unassociated with early ventricular dilation composed gro ...20133881581
plaque formation by virulent shigella flexneri.an in vitro tissue culture plaque assay was developed to investigate the intracellular replication and intercellular spread of virulent shigellae. shigella plaques were formed in hela cell monolayers in the presence of an agarose overlay containing tissue culture medium and gentamicin, which eliminated extracellular bacterial growth. microscopically, the plaques were characterized by a central area of dead host cells surrounded by cells infected with shigellae. cells further away from the plaque ...19853884506
studies of metabolites in diarrheal stool specimens containing shigella species by frequency-pulsed electron capture gas-liquid chromatography.eleven diarrheal stool specimens and 10 control stool specimens from cairo, egypt, were studied by frequency-pulsed electron capture gas-liquid chromatography (fpec-glc). four cases involving shigella sonnei, three cases involving shigella boydii, and four cases involving shigella flexneri were studied. the aqueous stools were centrifuged, extracted with organic solvents, and derivatized to form specific electron-capturing derivatives of carboxylic acids, alcohols, hydroxy acids, and amines. ana ...19853886695
[shigella serotypes isolated july-october 1983 and their antibiotic sensitivity].twenty four strains of shigella were isolated from the stool of patients who had been admitted to the hospital with the complaint of diarrhea. of these, 17 were found to be sh. flexneri, and 7 sh. boydii. antibiotic susceptibility tests indicated that all of the 24 isolates probably had multiple resistance factors. twenty three of 24 strains were found to be resistant to ampicillin. this may be important from a therapeutic point of view.19853892249
[detection of shigella antigens in the feces of patients with acute intestinal diseases using a coagglutination reaction].a total of 113 patients with acute intestinal diseases have been examined with the use of the coagglutination test. 84.95% of the patients showed the presence of different shigella antigens. in patients with bacteriologically confirmed dysentery the corresponding shigella antigens were detected in 96.97% of cases in s. sonnei dysentery, in 90% of cases in s. flexneri dysentery, in 75% of cases in s. newcastle dysentery and in 100% of bases in s. boydii dysentery. in 81.6% of patients with acute ...19853892986
