short-chain fatty acid transport in the intestine of a herbivorous teleost.	short-chain fatty acid (scfa) concentrations of intestinal contents from the herbivorous tilapia, oreochromis mossambicus, were analysed by gas and high-performance liquid chromatography. concentrations of acetate ranging from 3 to 18 mmol l-1 were found along the full length of the intestinal tract, as were trace amounts of propionate. characteristics of [3h]acetate transport by the intestinal brush-border membrane were analysed in isolated brush-border membrane vesicles (bbmv). influx of [3h]a ...	2009	2836545

the androgenicity of progestational agents.	androgenic potency of the progestational component in oral contraceptives (ocs) is difficult to assess. all the 19-nor testosterone progestogens in oc formulations basically have similar potencies and androgenic activities with the exception of norgestrel (ng). ng is the most potent and androgenic of these agents. it is five to ten times as potent as norethindrone (net); levonorgestrel (1-ng), one of the two isomers of ng and the one responsible for its potency, is ten to 20 times more potent th ...	2009	2908040

anomalous origin of right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta.	anomalous origin of one pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta without associated intracardiac defects is a rare congenital malformation. about 60 anatomic and surgical descriptions have been reported in the literature. up to 1974, 22 of the 50 reported cases underwent surgical correction with a 40% mortality rate. the natural history without surgery is poor with a very high mortality during the first year of life. successful anatomic correction of anomalous origin of right pulmonary artery f ...	2009	2777879
the grading and prevalence of macular degeneration in chesapeake bay watermen.	a new grading scheme was developed to classify the fundus features of macular degeneration. this scheme identifies the earliest fundus changes associated with macular degeneration, as well as specific drusen characteristics felt to be associated with an increased risk of developing the exudative forms of this disease. agreement between two graders using this scheme indicated good interobserver reliability. using this scheme, fundus photographs of 777 participants were graded in a population-base ...	2009	2786408

weakness in patients with hemiparesis.	clinical and experimental results are reviewed concerning muscle weakness in patients with hemiparesis after a stroke. the discussion includes the important role that alterations in the physiology of motor units, notably changes in firing rates and muscle fiber atrophy, play in the manifestation of muscle weakness. this role is compared with the lesser role that spasticity (defined as hyperactive stretch reflexes) of the antagonist muscle group appears to play in determining the weakness of agon ...	2009	2655457
organization of positional information in the axolotl limb.	we have used the phenomenon of position-dependent growth stimulation, brought about by the confrontation of cells with dissimilar positional values, to reveal the organization of positional information in the center of the upper and lower arms of axolotls. when either humerus or radius was transplanted into either dorsal or posterior positions, extra growth leading to the formation of supernumerary digits occurred following amputation through the graft. however, transplants of humerus or radius ...	2009	2769199

vibrio vulnificus genome suggests two distinct ecotypes.	the genus vibrio contains several of the most important pathogens known. one member of this group, vibrio vulnificus, is an estuarine bacterium which is the causative agent of both food-borne disease and wound infection. vibrio vulnificus is ubiquitous in estuarine waters and occurs in molluscan shellfish in high numbers. however, the incidence of disease is relatively low and it has been suggested that not all strains of v. vulnificus are equally virulent. we have previously shown that there is ...	2010	23766007

rapid in situ detection of virulent vibrio vulnificus strains in raw oyster matrices using real-time pcr.	vibrio vulnificus is a gram-negative bacterial pathogen responsible for the vast majority of bacterially mediated fatalities from the consumption of raw or undercooked seafood in the usa. vibrio vulnificus-associated septicaemia can occur rapidly (< 24 h); however, methods for the isolation and confirmation of v. vulnificus from seafood samples typically require several days. a real-time pcr assay was developed for v. vulnificus biotype 1 that provides a rapid means of identifying a gene fragmen ...	2010	23766001
necrotising fasciitis with vibrio vulnificus: a limb threatening dermatologic complication following exposure to marine life.	vibrio vulnificus is a rare cause of necrotising fasciitis. the organism can be found in warm, shallow coastal waters, as well as on shellfish, such as crab, and also filter-feeding molluscs, such as oysters, clams, and scallops. in the usa, it is the leading cause of shellfish related deaths. in individuals with major underlying illnesses, such as liver disease, diabetes mellitus, malignancy, alcoholism, haemochromatosis or chronic renal disease, the organism can lead to a fulminant course with ...	2010	22736735

thiol peroxyl radical formation from the reaction of cysteine thiyl radical with molecular oxygen: an esr investigation.	using electron spin resonance (esr) spectroscopy, we have identified the cysteine thiol peroxyl radical (cyssoo.) at low temperatures in two aqueous glasses. this radical shows a typical peroxyl radical esr spectrum, but unlike carbon-based peroxyl radicals has a violet color (lambda max = 540 nm) and forms a new radical showing a singlet esr spectrum when photobleached with visible light. the cysteine peroxyl radical reacts to form the cysteine sulfinyl radical (cysso.) in the glass which allow ...	2010	2843184
evaluation of guar biscuits for use in the management of diabetes: tests of physiological effects and palatability in non-diabetic volunteers.	a guar-shortbread biscuit has been successfully developed and tested for possible use in the dietary management of diabetes. a dose-response study was undertaken to estimate the amount of guar gum needed in the biscuit recipe to reduce postprandial glycaemia and insulinaemia. a control biscuit and three types of guar biscuit corresponding to a low, medium and high dose of guar (2.9, 6.0 and 9.1 g of guar respectively) were given to 8 non-diabetic subjects, and blood glucose and plasma insulin le ...	2010	2840279

treatment of mooren's ulcer with cyclosporin a: report of three cases.	three patients with severe, bilateral, progressive mooren's ulcers, unresponsive to medical and surgical therapy, were treated with cyclosporin a. all three responded rapidly to the drug and there has been no recurrence of the mooren's ulcers since (average follow-up 14 months). peripheral blood t lymphocyte subsets were estimated prior to and during treatment. no significant abnormalities were found initially. suppressor cells increased on treatment, and a corresponding drop of the helper/suppr ...	2010	2949775
anti-idiotypic antibodies: a new generation of vaccines against infectious agents.	anti-idiotypic antibodies have been suggested recently as candidates for potential vaccines against numerous infectious organisms. these antibody-based vaccines might represent a new generation of vaccines for inducing protective immunity in susceptible hosts.	2010	3153167

the craniofacial morphology in persons with maxillonasal dysplasia (binder syndrome). a longitudinal cephalometric study of orthodontically treated children.	the aim of this investigation was to study the influence of orthodontic treatment on facial growth in subjects with maxillonasal dysplasia. the subjects were followed longitudinally from early childhood until growth was completed or almost completed. fifteen patients, 9 boys and 6 girls, were orthodontically treated by conventional methods. they were compared with (1) another longitudinal group consisting of 13 orthodontically untreated children, 7 boys and 6 girls with the same syndrome, and (2 ...	2010	2916471
