oxolinic acid for the treatment of chronic gastrointestinal shigella carriers.two patients were long-term gastrointestinal carriers of shigella flexneri for 23 mo and 6 mo, respectively. neither patient responded to oral antibiotics, despite in vitro sensitivity of the bacteria to the antibiotics administered. oral oxolinic acid produced immediate cessation of the carrier state in both patients, with resolution of minor but persistent physical complaints.1978686252
dog bites.dog bites can be prevented by proper education of children, appropriate selection of family pets and the restraint of guard dogs in the community. an unusually high incidence of bites by german shepherds was observed in this study. treatment of injuries inflicted by dogs should include: careful wound toilet, appropriate excision of damaged tissues, careful wound repair with adequate drainage and systematic therapy with selected antibiotics.1977556659
[lupins - a new source of food for andean countries. 5. traditional methods of debittering of lupins by water].the bitter taste of lupin alkaloids can be sensorially detected in water within ppm-range. the strength of the taste diminishes as follows: sparteine, d-lupanin-perchlorate, lupinine, isolupinine and hydroxylupanine. the swelling capacity of lupin seeds presents different characteristics according to the species. the swelling rapidity is in l. albus somehow inferior to that of l. mutabilis. the absorption of water decreases in hot water, and the swelling rapidity increases. for domestic debitter ...2005556411
influence of preoperative left ventricular function on results of homograft replacement of the aortic valve for aortic regurgitation.the effect of preoperative left ventricular function on eraly and late prognosis was assessed in 69 patients with aortic regurgitation who underwent homograft replacement of the aortic valve. patients were divided into two groups: group a (38 patients) had an ejection fraction of 0.46 or more and group b (31 patients) had an ejection fraction of 0.45 or less. clinical data, hemodynamic data, and operative results were compared in the two groups. in group a there was one early death (2.6%) and th ...2005556399
studies on the inhibitory effects of zinc heptanoate on microorganisms.inhibitory effect of zinc heptanoate was observed on different cultures of bacteria and fungi. growth of all the bacteria was inhibited by the compound. greatest inhibition was seen in the case of staphylococcus albus, streptococcus pyogenes, shigella dysenteriae, shigella sonnei, shigella flexneri, salmonella typhi, s. paratyphi a, s. paratyphi b, vibrio cholerae, corynebacterium diphtheriae, and e. coli whereas least inhibition was found in the case of staphylococcus aureus. in triethanolamine ...1979553835

time in chemo-immunotherapy models: an absolute or a relative variable? lessons from the levamisole experience.an analysis is presented of the findings from the available studies in several cancer models, where 2.5-20 mg/kg levamisole was given in combination with different types of cytostatic drugs. it appears that in chemo-immunotherapy experiments it may be preferable to measure time variables (increase in life span, timing of chemotherapy and of immunotherapy) as a per cent of the median survival time of the untreated controls instead of using time as an absolute measure (in days). as regards the stu ...1980551097
morphometric analysis of the loss of chief and parietal cells after partial gastrectomy for duodenal ulcer.relative chief and parietal cell volume densities were estimated morphometrically in the remnant mucosa of 98 male patients ("series"), operated on for duodenal ulcer by the billroth ii, and in the body mucosa of 55 subjects, age and sex matched, from a random series of a finnish population ("controls"). the relative volumes of chief and parietal cells were significantly lower in the series than in the controls. the mean chief cell: parietal cell ratio was significantly higher in the series than ...2005549432
