| recovery of anaerobic bacteria from 3 patients with infection at a pierced body site. | we describe 3 adolescents who developed infections due to anaerobes at pierced body sites: the nipple, the umbilicus, and the nasal septum. anaerobes (prevotella intermedia and peptostreptococcus anaerobius) were recovered from pure culture of specimens obtained from 1 patient with nipple infection and were mixed with aerobic bacteria in cultures of specimens obtained from 2 patients (streptococcus aureus, peptostreptococcus micros, and prevotella melaninogenica were recovered from a patient wit ... | 2001 | 11389513 |
| proposal of the genera anaerococcus gen. nov., peptoniphilus gen. nov. and gallicola gen. nov. for members of the genus peptostreptococcus. | members of genus peptostreptococcus have previously been found to be distantly related to the type species, peptostreptococcus anaerobius, on the basis of 16s rdna sequence similarities. they were divided into three major phylogenetic groups, and their peptidoglycan structure and biochemical traits differed between groups. the reclassification of the species of these three groups into three new genera, peptoniphilus gen. nov., anaerococcus gen. nov. and gallicola gen. nov., is proposed. the genu ... | 2001 | 11491354 |

| heterogeneity within the gram-positive anaerobic cocci demonstrated by analysis of 16s-23s intergenic ribosomal rna polymorphisms. | peptostreptococci are gram-positive, strictly anaerobic bacteria which, although regarded as members of the commensal human microflora, are also frequently isolated from sites of clinical infection. the study of this diverse group of opportunist pathogens has been hindered by an inadequate taxonomy and the lack of a valid identification scheme. recent re-classification of the peptostreptococcus family into five distinct genus groups has helped to clarify the situation. however, this has been on ... | 2002 | 12448679 |
| development of a pcr assay specific for peptostreptococcus anaerobius. | peptostreptococcus anaerobius is a gram-positive anaerobic coccus that is widely distributed in the normal human flora. the organism has also been implicated as a causative agent of several systemic infections, including endocarditis and infections of the genitourinary and gastrointestinal tracts. its role in oral disease is less well defined, although it has been implicated in periodontal disease, gingivitis and root canal infections. identification of p. anaerobius in clinical samples is curre ... | 2002 | 12466408 |

| comparative studies on the mode of action of proctolin and phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate in their ability to contract the locust mandibular closer muscle. | the role of proctolin has been further investigated in the locust (locusta migratoria) mandibular closer muscles. radioactive calcium uptake measurements were made using protease-dissociated muscle cells. both the phorbol ester, phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate, and proctolin produce tonic contractions which are associated with the influx of extracellular calcium. the thresholds for proctolin and the phorbol ester to contract the muscle were 1-10 nm and 10-100nm, respectively, while their respective thr ... | 2006 | 1360273 |

| external cephalic version and daily post-versional maternal self-assessment of fetal presentation. a prospective study. | external cephalic version (ecv) using tocolysis is a widely recognized low-risk intervention in cases of breech presentation, particularly in areas where resources are scarce and the perinatal mortality is high in vaginal breech deliveries. in such a setting, pregnant women were trained to make regular self-assessments of the presenting fetal part after ecv in order to detect spontaneous reversions to breech presentation. it was found that such maternal involvement could significantly improve th ... | 2006 | 1563651 |
| antigen-receptor complex stimulation triggers protein kinase c-dependent cd11a/cd18-cytoskeleton association in t lymphocytes. | although it is well accepted that intercellular adhesion involving the cd11a/cd18 (lfa-1) complex is critical in a wide array of t cell-dependent processes, recent demonstrations of an lfa-1 high avidity state, induced by triggering the t cell receptor (tcr) complex, has raised questions about the intracellular signals generated and molecular events leading to effective cell coupling, as well as their orderly sequence. in this study, we assessed the effects of t cell activation on the actin-base ... | 2006 | 1346786 |
| sense of coherence, self-esteem, depression and hopelessness as correlates of reattempting suicide. | sense of coherence (soc) has been proposed as a psychological factor that predicts good health and positive adjustment. the three components of soc: manageability, comprehensibility and meaning were assessed together with depression, hopelessness and self-esteem as factors predicting future suicidal ideation and behaviour in parasuicides. one hundred and fifty hospitalized parasuicides were evaluated on these measures and followed up after six months to determine their current level of suicidal ... | 2006 | 1393158 |
| functional analysis of the -300 region of maize zein genes. | a 43 bp fragment containing the -300 region upstream control element common to the endosperm expressed zein genes of zea mays l. has been analyzed by in vivo and in vitro techniques. transient transformation studies with protoplasts from a maize endosperm culture indicate that the element positively affects camv 35s promoter-driven gene expression, and that this effect is both orientation- and position-dependent. band-shift and southwestern blotting experiments demonstrate that the element is sp ... | 2006 | 1538693 |

| the theory-practice gap in nurse education: its causes and possible solutions. findings from an action research study. | kurt lewin, the originator of action research, proposed that it was valuable not only for innovating change, but also the process of change could lead to new insights into the nature of the problem that was being tackled. this action research project developed and evaluated a teaching model that aimed to help rgn (registered general nurse) students to bridge the theory-practice gap. during the course of this work, the possible reasons for a theory-practice gap started to become clear. this paper ... | 2007 | 1939918 |
| aerosol application of interferon-alpha in the treatment of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma. | 10 patients with locally advanced bronchioloalveolar carcinoma were treated with interferon-alpha as an inhaled aerosol. initial doses ranged between 1 and 10 mu daily or thrice weekly and were then increased to 20 mu daily. treatment was continued until disease progression or excessive toxicity occurred, 9 patients were evaluable for toxicity. in 1 case treatment had to be stopped after 2 weeks due to fever, fatigue and progressive dyspnoea. 2 patients developed fever, 1 had malaise, fatigue an ... | 2007 | 2168195 |
| chemotherapy-related hemolytic-uremic syndrome after the treatment of head and neck cancer. a case report. | a 62-year-old woman who was being treated for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck developed a chemotherapy-related hemolytic-uremic syndrome during the second cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy consisting of cisplatin, bleomycin, and methotrexate. though the syndrome was suspected early, attempts at reversing the hematologic and renal abnormalities were unsuccessful. at postmortem examination, the characteristic microvascular lesions of the hemolytic-uremic syndrome were found in the kid ... | 2007 | 2224786 |
