social class and preschool language skill: v. cognitive and semantic mastery of number.	this study was done to test the validity of two hypotheses of why children, and especially black children, of families of the poverty sector commonly fail in school. sociologists deny for them either a cognitive or a linguistic deficit, and blame their failures on having to master the unfamiliar dialect of standard english while learning to read. the authors, on the other hand, blame the failures on inadequacies of early preschool experience that result in such deficits as one in semantic master ...	2005	1175915
outbreaks of contaminated broncho-alveolar lavage related to intrinsically defective bronchoscopes.	from 5 march 2001 to 19 october 2001, outbreaks of broncho-alveolar lavage (bal) contamination with enterobacteraceae were detected in our 700-bed institution. we report the investigation of these outbreaks. a case was defined as the occurrence of pairs of specific enterobacteraceae in bal specimens among any patients who underwent bronchoscopy in the respiratory unit during the period of the outbreak. contamination was identified in 117 bal samples during three outbreaks among 418 patients, and ...	2005	15893850

[evaluation of vitek 2 performance for identifying extended spectrum beta-lactamases in enterobacteriaceae "other than escherichia coli, proteus mirabilis and klebsiella spp"].	production of beta-lactamases is the main resistance mechanism of gram-negative bacteria against beta-lactam antibiotics. extended spectrum beta-lactamases (esbls) have the ability to hydrolyze a broader spectrum of beta-lactam drugs. hence rapid, accurate detection of this resistance mechanism is extremely important to guide proper patient antimicrobial therapy. these enzymes are most commonly produced by klebsiella spp. and escherichia coli, but may also occur widely in other gram-negative bac ...	2006	17380089

central nervous system infection caused by morganella morganii.	central nervous system (cns) infection with morganella morganii is very rare. we describe a 38-year-old female patient with frontal brain abscess caused by m morganii who was unsuccessfully treated. we also review all reported cases of morganella cns infections with an emphasis on treatment modalities and outcomes. aggressive surgical management and appropriate antimicrobial therapy can lead to cure, but the mortality rate for these infections remains high.	2006	16415665
detection of bacterial strains producing sulbactam- or tazobactam-sensitive beta-lactamases by the use of disks containing the inhibitors alone instead of combining them with antibiotics.	the author demonstrated that disks containing beta-lactamase inhibitors sulbactam or tazobactam combined with ampicillin (sam) and piperacillin (tzp) are not suitable for performing the double-disk synergy test (ddst) with the aim of determining the sensitivity of beta-lactamases to these inhibitors. the presence of antibiotics (especially of piperacillin) is so disturbing that the results of testing are not specific. in contrast, the use of disks containing sulbactam or tazobactam alone yields ...	2006	16499654

coronary vasospasm as a potential cause of myocardial infarction and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in a relatively young woman.	vasospasm-related myocardial infarction in young women with normal coronary arteries has infrequently been reported and vasospasm-related paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (paf) has rarely been described. we present a 33-year-old woman with old inferior myocardial infarction and postinfarction angina at rest; the angina was accompanied by paf and electrocardiographic st-segment elevation in the inferior leads. coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries and intracoronary acetylcholine pr ...	2007	1914277
residual effectiveness of insecticides for control of german cockroaches (dictyoptera: blattellidae) in food-handling establishments.	residual effectiveness of insecticides was compared for two treatment methods at various sites within two commercial kitchens. for all sites and insecticides, german cockroach, blattella germanica (l.), mortality was greatest for treatments of cracks and crevices than for treatments of exposed surfaces. mortality at the dishwashing site was lower than at all other sites. we attributed reduced mortality at the dishwashing site to a higher vapor pressure deficit. mortality and the amount of insect ...	2007	2258513

primary carcinoma of the upper urinary tract. effect of primary and secondary therapy on survival.	the pathologic material and medical records of 76 patients with primary upper urinary tract carcinomas were reviewed to identify the role of grade and stage in predicting survival; to determine any differences in survival between ureteral and renal pelvic carcinoma; to understand the role of local therapy in low grade, low stage tumors; and to establish the usefulness of adjuvant therapies in metastatic disease. kaplan-meier survival curves with cox-mantel analysis for statistical significance r ...	2007	2224787

a novel creatine kinase cdna whose transcript shows enhanced testicular expression.	a cdna (tck1) encoding a creatine kinase (ck) subunit has been isolated from a cdna library prepared from rainbow trout testis poly(a) + rna. the predicted amino acid sequence for this ck subunit showed a novel amino-terminal coding region. northern blot analyses demonstrated preferential expression of this ck subunit in testis relative to other ck containing organs. southern blot analysis suggested a single copy number for this ck gene.	2007	2223887

design of a clinical laboratory computer system.	a clinical laboratory is a dynamic organization that suffers when constrained to a static environment. its approach to information management must be predicated on an ability to deal comfortably with change whenever necessary. it is important to view an information system as a dynamic process rather than a static object to be used for some time and then discarded for a newer model.	2007	2040151
[systemic thrombolysis in acute myocardial infarct. the physiopathological bases, current status, problems and prospects].	thrombolytic therapy of acute myocardial infarction has been demonstrated to recognize occluded coronary arteries, reduce infarct size and left ventricular dysfunction, and improve the survival. intravenous thrombolysis is now accepted as the best way, with the same results but less organisational problems in comparison with the intracoronary treatment. in these present study a particular reading of the thrombolytic method is proposed, based on the knowledge of the patho physiology of coronary a ...	2007	2151431
[status of the venous part of the portal system in infectious-toxic shock in infants with acute pneumonia].	as many as 38 children aged 2 to 12 months suffering from acute pneumonia complicated by infectious-toxic shock manifested dilatation of the veins of portal circulation and deposition of a considerable blood volume, which was revealed by ultrasonic examination. the hemodynamic disorders were shown to play the leading part in the genesis of hepatomegaly, followed by hypoxic derangement of the hepatocyte. in infants, who are in a state of infectious-toxic shock, vascular decompensation of the live ...	2007	2075039
