antimicrobial susceptibilities of peptostreptococcus anaerobius and the newly described peptostreptococcus stomatis isolated from various human sources.	peptostreptococcus anaerobius sensu lato, currently including two closely related species, p. anaerobius and p. stomatis, is known to be more resistant than other gram-positive anaerobic cocci. we reidentified potential peptostreptococcus isolates and tested their susceptibilities to eight antimicrobials. notably, p. anaerobius had constantly higher values for the mic at which 50% of the isolates are inhibited (mic(50)) and the mic(90) than p. stomatis.	2007	17403999
in vitro antimicrobial activity of propolis samples from different geographical origins against certain oral pathogens.	propolis is an agent having antimicrobial properties, however, its composition can vary depending on the area where it is collected. in the present study, the antimicrobial activity of five propolis samples, collected from four different regions in turkey and from brazil, against nine anaerobic strains was evaluated. ethanol extracts of propolis (eep) were prepared from propolis samples and we determined minimum inhibitory concentrations (mic) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (mbc) of eep ...	2007	17475517

starvation response and growth in serum of fusobacterium nucleatum, peptostreptococcus anaerobius, prevotella intermedia, and pseudoramibacter alactolyticus.	the microbiota inhabiting the untreated root canal differ markedly from those found in post-treatment disease, yet there is limited information on the microbial characteristics distinguishing the different infections. we hypothesized that starvation survival is a key microbial property in species selection. this study analyzed starvation-survival behavior over 60 days of species representative of the untreated root canal infection: fusobacterium nucleatum, peptostreptococcus anaerobius, prevotel ...	2009	19540450
reticulospinal neurons, locomotor control and the development of tailswimming in xenopus.	the development of early swimming in xenopus occurs early during the embryonic period and within a few hours. between stages 25 and 33 the central nervous system reaches a state of 'critical mass' at which the for swimming necessary body structures have partly developed, thus enabling the embryo to move through the water. the pattern of undulatory body movements is formed within the pattern generators in the central nervous system (cns) involving different types of neurons in the spinal cord and ...	2009	3077003
layer thickness in rotational panoramic radiography: some specific aspects.	it is customary to define the thickness of the image layer in rotational panoramic radiography along the central ray of the x-ray beam. this results in calculated values which overestimate its thickness, especially in regions where the central ray deviates markedly from orthogonality. a supplementary definition is proposed which considers layer thickness in a direction perpendicular to the central plane of the image layer. this provides values which may be more easily related to the thickness of ...	2009	2637877

nuclear morphometry as an important prognostic factor in stage i renal cell carcinoma.	although 60% of stage i renal carcinoma patients die from tumor within 5 years postoperatively, a considerable percentage survive that period. nuclear grading can help to predict the outcome, but many of the patients are grade 2, and the prognosis of this subclass is uncertain. therefore, nuclear morphometry was carried out in 41 patients with stage i renal cell carcinoma. of these, 24 died within 5 years and 17 have survived that period. using a mean nuclear area of 32 micron 2 as the decision ...	2012	3768843

optimal bandpass filters for time-domain analysis of the signal-averaged electrocardiogram.	the optimal bandpass filter for signal averaging of the surface qrs complex to detect late potentials is undefined. a study was conducted in 87 patients; 25 (mean age 34 +/- 10 years) were normal (group i), 29 (60 +/- 20 years) had organic heart disease without ventricular tachycardia (group ii) and 33 (62 +/- 15 years) had sustained ventricular tachycardia (group iii). in all patients signal-averaged electrocardiography (200 beats) was performed using a sharp, bidirectional filter and data anal ...	2012	3318369

coronary artery variation in a native iraqi population.	the variation and distribution of the coronary arteries were studied in 119 hearts of individuals, 4 fetal months to 40 years old, who died from noncardiovascular causes. all individuals included in this study were natives of the mosul area of northern iraq. the coronary arteries were examined by injection-corrosion and unaided dissection. almost all (90%) of the anomalies observed were in the right coronary artery. nine hearts (8% of total sample) possessed ectopic ostia in the right coronary s ...	2012	3815505

the effect of a histamine synthesis inhibitor on the immediate nasal allergic reaction.	we studied the effect of alpha-fluoromethyl histidine, an irreversible histamine synthesis inhibitor, on the immediate nasal reaction to antigen challenge in a double-blind, placebo controlled, randomized, parallel study using 13 subjects. the patients received either active drug 100 mg twice daily or placebo, for 3 weeks. a nasal allergen challenge was performed before and after at weekly intervals. symptoms at challenge were assessed and the levels of histamine, tame-esterase activity and kini ...	2012	3318539

significance of parathyroid hormone (pth) radioimmunoassay in the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism: an experience based on 63 surgically proven cases.	the significance of pth-radioimmunoassay was assessed in 63 surgically proven cases of primary hyperparathyroidism. to detect hyperparathyroidism, an increase in the free serum ca index, [1-(8 x alb + 2 x glb + 3)/100] x ca, has the highest predictive value (100%) for a positive test but a low predictive value (11.8%) for a negative test. it was necessary to improve the criteria to rule out the diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism. we therefore carried out a pth radioimmunoassay employing kits made ...	2013	3622392
