drgs and disease staging for reimbursing medicare patients.	beginning october 1, 1983, medicare began reimbursing many hospitals on the basis of a set of fixed fees tied to diagnosis-related groups (drgs). using 1979-1981 maryland data for medicare patients, this paper compares the drg system with the disease staging patient classification system in terms of structure, explanation of resource consumption (length of stay) of hospital patients, and impact on reimbursement by type of hospital. the two systems are conceptually and empirically different in cl ...	2011	3093783

antiimmunoglobulin-treated b cells respond to a b cell differentiation factor for igg1.	we have determined whether b cells previously activated by anti-ig (anti-ig blasts) are responsive to lymphokines that induce isotype switching. culture of anti-ig blasts with a mixture of lymphokines, including bsf-1, resulted in marked secretion of igm and igg1, but not other igg isotypes. the igg1 response of anti-ig blasts to lymphokines was 13-fold greater than was observed with splenic b cells. b cell blasts induced by 8-mercaptoguanosine or dextran sulfate did not secrete high levels of a ...	2011	3088197
differential suppression of testosterone and estradiol in hirsute women with the superactive gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist leuprolide.	to determine the dose of the gnrh agonist leuprolide necessary to maximally suppress ovarian testosterone secretion, 10 moderately to severely hirsute women (5 with idiopathic hirsutism and 5 with polycystic ovarian syndrome) were given gradually increasing leuprolide doses, starting with either 5 or 10 micrograms/kg.day. serum testosterone and estradiol, basal lh, and the lh response to gnrh were measured before and at the end of each treatment period, until maximal suppression of estradiol and ...	2011	3138274
myasthenia gravis in childhood and adolescence. report on 209 patients and review of the literature.	authors review the different theoretical and practical problems of childhood and adolescent myastenia gravis, including the heterogeneous group of congenital myasthenia and the big casuistics of the literature. there are reports on 113 cases with childhood myasthenia gravis and 96 cases of adolescent myasthenia. ratio of these forms ranged 10.76% in childhood myasthenia and 9.14% in adolescent age, resp., 19.9% of the whole patient material. a classification is given concerning juvenile myasthen ...	2011	3077607
[experiences with the preventive use of aminophylline (euphylline) in apnea and periodic respiration in infants].	sleep apnea and periodic breathing in infants are the result of a mild hypoxia and they are the requirement for sids. as a results of the modern medicine each 4.-5. death is the cause of sids during the first year of life. the positive effect of theophylline on apnea of prematurity is known since 1973. we have given theophylline (euphyllin) from 1979 till 1986 to 198 premature infants with a birth weight below 2000 g for apnea prophylaxis orally in a doses of 9 mg/kg body weight per day distribu ...	2011	3043316
dietary resistant and butyrylated starches have different effects on the faecal bacterial flora of azoxymethane-treated rats.	epidemiological studies have suggested that dietary fibre lowers the risk of colorectal cancer, which may be due to increased butyrate production from colonic fermentation of a type of fibre, resistant starch (rs). the present study investigated the effects of dietary rs and butyrylated rs on the faecal microbiota of rats treated with azoxymethane. a total of four groups of nine rats were fed diets containing either standard maize starch (low-amylose maize starch (lams), low rs), lams with 3 % t ...	2011	21255474
application of quantitative real-time pcr for rapid identification of bacteroides fragilis group and related organisms in human wound samples.	our goal was to establish a quantitative real-time pcr (qrt-pcr) method to detect bacteroides fragilis group and related organisms from clinical specimens. compared to conventional anaerobic culture, qrt-pcr can provide accurate and more rapid detection and identification of b.-áfragilis group and similar species. b.-áfragilis group and related organisms are the most frequently isolated anaerobic pathogens from clinical samples. however, culture and phenotypic identification is quite time-consum ...	2011	21439390
design of species-specific oligonucleotide probes for the detection of bacteroides and parabacteroides by fluorescence in situ hybridization and their application to the analysis of mouse caecal bacteroides-parabacteroides microbiota.	aims: to develop species-specific monitoring techniques for rapid detection of bacteroides and parabacteroides inhabiting the mouse intestine by fluorescence in situ hybridization. methods and results: the specificity of oligonucleotide probes was evaluated by fluorescence whole-cell hybridization. oligonucleotide probes specific for each species hybridized only with the target bacteria. using these probes, caecal bacteroides-parabacteroides microbiota of conventional mice and specific pathoge ...	2011	21535330
antimicrobial resistance and prevalence of resistance genes in intestinal bacteroidales strains.	this study examined the antimicrobial resistance profile and the prevalence of resistance genes in bacteroides spp. and parabacteroides distasonis strains isolated from children's intestinal microbiota.	2011	21655744
metabolic labeling of fucosylated glycoproteins in bacteroidales species.	members of the bacteroidales order are among the most abundant gram-negative bacteria of the human colonic microbiota. these species decorate their cell-surface glycoproteins with fucosylated glycans, which are believed to play important roles in host intestinal colonization. currently, there is no method for the enrichment of these glycoproteins for their identification. here, we describe a chemical approach directed toward labeling and detecting fucosylated glycoproteins from cultured bacteroi ...	2011	21676614
Butyrate esterified to starch is released in the human gastrointestinal tract.	Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) maintain human colonic function and may help prevent colonic disease. A study with ileostomists showed that starches acylated with specific SCFAs largely survive passage through the small intestine, but the percentage released in the colon has not been established.	2011	21940597
prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among clinical isolates of bacteroides fragilis group in canada in 2010-2011: canward surveillance study.	clinical isolates of bacteroides fragilis group (n = 387) were collected from patients attending nine canadian hospitals in 2010-2011 and tested for susceptibility to 10 antimicrobial agents using the clinical and laboratory standards institute (clsi) broth microdilution method. b. fragilis (59.9%), bacteroides ovatus (16.3%), and bacteroides thetaiotamicron (12.7%) accounted for ∼90% of isolates collected. overall rates of percent susceptibility were: 99.7%, metronidazole; 99.5%, piperacillin-t ...	2011	22203594
