resection of a massive arteriovenous malformation of the head and neck.we report a patient with a massive arteriovenous malformation of the head and neck treated by surgical extirpation of the lesion. arteriography, hypotensive hypothermic anesthesia, and the intraoperative use of the doppler flowmeter were most helpful in this case.2003154679
properties of trna-specific antibodies from nzb/nzw mice.antibodies that bind trna are produced spontaneously in new zealand black/new zealand white (nzb/nzw) f1 hybrid female mice. an assay for the detection of these antibodies has been developed by using gel filtration and radioactive trna. this assay was found superior to the widely used ammonium sulfate precipitation assay because of the nature of the interaction between the protein and the trna. the ant-bodies bound native trna preferentially to trna denatured by cross-linking with formaldehyde. ...1977321680
[long-term follow-up after thyroidectomy: incidence of recurrent goiter and functional results].we analyzed the postoperative longterm results after strumectomy for sporadic goiter in 26 patients. the follow-up time was 25.1 +/- 14.7 (7-58) years (x +/- sd, extremes). actual goiter recurrence without need for surgery was observed and sonographically confirmed in 3 patients, and 1 patient without actual recurrence had had a second strumectomy for goiter recurrence in the past. hence the overall frequency of goiter recurrence in this study is 15% (4/26 patients). the patients with a present ...20061448680

a transposon-like sequence adjacent to the acci restriction-modification operon.we have cloned and sequenced the accirm genes from weeksella zoohelcum (the original identification of this strain as acinetobacter calcoaceticus was incorrect). our sequence differs in the coding regions from a previously published sequence by the addition of three nucleotides near the 3' end of the dna methyltransferase-encoding gene (accim). we have sequenced approx. 3 kb beyond this operon. two genes were found, convergently transcribed with the r-m operon. the first of these genes encodes a ...19957607529
riemerella anatipestifer gen. nov., comb. nov., the causative agent of septicemia anserum exsudativa, and its phylogenetic affiliation within the flavobacterium-cytophaga rrna homology group.the phylogenetic position of the causative agent of septicemia anserum exsudativa, now most often referred to as [moraxella] anatipestifer (brackets indicate a generically misnamed taxon) or "[pasteurella] anatipestifer," was established by performing rrna cistron similarity studies. [moraxella] anatipestifer belongs to rrna superfamily v, together with the genera flavobacterium, cytophaga, flexibacter, weeksella, capnocytophaga, and sphingobacterium. the detailed structure of rrna superfamily v ...19938240957
[uncommon site of bergeyella zoohelcum. apropos of a case].bergeyella zoohelcum is a gram negative bacillus which can be found in several pathological localizations in man: leg abscesses, septicemia, meningitis. we observed a case of community-acquired pneumonia caused by bergeyella zoohelcum. on history taking it was found that the patient was exposed to a dog which may have been the carrier of the gram negative bacilli. the clinical course was long, one year, with persistent excavation.19969033932
phylogenetic position of riemerella anatipestifer based on 16s rrna gene sequences.riemerella anatipestifer, the causative agent of septicemia anserum exsudativa (also called new duckling disease), belongs to the family flavobacteriaceae of gram-negative bacteria. we determined the dna sequences of the rrs genes encoding the 16s rrnas of four r. anatipestifer strains by directly sequencing pcr-amplified rrs genes. a sequence similarity analysis confirmed the phylogenetic position of r. anatipestifer in the family flavobacteriaceae in rrna superfamily v and allowed fine mapping ...19979103649

usefulness of the microseq 500 16s ribosomal dna-based bacterial identification system for identification of clinically significant bacterial isolates with ambiguous biochemical profiles.due to the inadequate automation in the amplification and sequencing procedures, the use of 16s rrna gene sequence-based methods in clinical microbiology laboratories is largely limited to identification of strains that are difficult to identify by phenotypic methods. in this study, using conventional full-sequence 16s rrna gene sequencing as the "gold standard," we evaluated the usefulness of the microseq 500 16s ribosomal dna (rdna)-based bacterial identification system, which involves amplifi ...200312734240
isolation of a fastidious bergeyella species associated with cellulitis after a cat bite and a phylogenetic comparison with bergeyella zoohelcum strains.bergeyella zoohelcum is an uncommon zoonotic pathogen typically associated with cat or dog bites. previously, only five cases of b. zoohelcum infection have been reported. we report the isolation and characterization of a fastidious bergeyella species from acute cellulitis in the upper extremity of a 60-year-old woman. the organism was too fastidious for identification and susceptibility testing with traditional culture methods. the isolate was characterized further by pcr amplification and sequ ...200414715767
proposal to transfer 'aegyptianella ranarum', an intracellular bacterium of frog red blood cells, to the family flavobacteriaceae as 'candidatus hemobacterium ranarum' comb. nov.'aegyptianella ranarum' (order rickettsiales), an ultrastructurally defined small, gram-negative rod, is known to replicate in the red blood cells of frogs. heretofore, this bacterium has not been characterized genetically. we cloned and sequenced the 16s rrna (1310 bp) and gyrb (718 bp) genes of 'a. ranarum' from a canadian frog blood specimen. in situ hybridization (with an 'a. ranarum' 16s rrna gene polymerase chain reaction product as probe) and electron microscopy confirmed that 'a. ranarum ...200415142244
['in vitro' activity of different antimicrobial agents on gram-negative nonfermentative bacilli, excluding pseudomonas aeruginosa and acinetobacter spp].gram-negative nonfermentative bacilli (nfb) are widely spread in the environment. besides of difficulties for identification, they often have a marked multiresistance to antimicrobial agents, including those active against pseudomonas aeruginosa. the objective of this study was to evaluate the 'in vitro' activity of different antimicrobial agents on 177 gram-negative nonfermentative bacilli isolates (excluding pseudomonas aeruginosa and acinetobacter spp.) isolated from clinical specimens. minim ...200515991478
