high serum progesterone in hyperthyroid men with graves' disease.we measured serum progesterone in five men with hyperthyroidism due to graves' disease. all had elevated serum progesterone levels before treatment with an antithyroid drug, and their serum progesterone levels declined concomitantly with their serum thyroid levels during treatment. progesterone enhances estrogen's stimulation of mammary gland growth, and our findings suggest that progesterone may play a role in the gynecomastia that occurs in men with hyperthyroidism.20113335607
analbuminaemia: a natural model of metabolic compensatory systems.important clinical signs are usually not present in analbuminaemia, a congenital condition inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, but several biochemical alterations in proteins, cholesterol, phospholipids and plasma beta lipoproteins have been observed. we studied two sibs, r.u. and r.r., with this disease and observed a striking increase in the variables mentioned above as well as a high ldl fraction with concomitant increase in apo b; increases in hdl3 and apo a-i and a-ii levels were als ...20113126352
Genus-wide physicochemical evidence of extracellular crystalline silver nanoparticles biosynthesis by Morganella spp.This study was performed to determine whether extracellular silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) production is a genus-wide phenotype associated with all the members of genus Morganella, or only Morganella morganii RP-42 isolate is able to synthesize extracellular Ag nanoparticles.

databases in molecular biology: a codata task group at work.a certain concern exists that the exponential growth of nucleic acid and protein sequence data will saturate the channels of data acquisition, distribution and utilization on the one hand and, on the other hand, that even the actual resources are still not fully and easily accessible to any bench scientist. despite the stake of the scientific community at large in the fundamental data collected in this field, there has been in past years only a modest effort to discuss the common problems at an ...20123447161

[demonstration of anti-laminin antibodies in the serum of healthy subjects].antibodies directed against laminin, a glycoprotein of basement membranes, have been sought for in the sera of 347 healthy subjects by a method relying on the agglutination of laminin-coated latex particles. fifty-five subjects (15.9%) hae been found to be positive, 37 with a titre of 2, 14 with a titre of 4 and 4 with a titer of 8. applied to 106 patients whose a renal biopsy had been examined by immunofluorescence, the test yielded positive results in 91% of patients with linear deposits as co ...20123304440

pharmacokinetics of fentanyl in the elderly.the pharmacokinetics of fentanyl were determined in seven elderly (71-82 yr) and seven younger adults (18-41 yr) anaesthetized with thiopentone, nitrous oxide in oxygen and morphine. fentanyl was administered as a 2-min i.v. infusion at doses of 15 micrograms kg-1 for elderly patients and 20 micrograms kg-1 for the younger patients. plasma samples were obtained for 4 h and fentanyl concentrations determined by radioimmunoassay. fentanyl concentration, per microgram kg-1 administered, was higher ...20123377944
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 ...20123370768
