technical considerations in saphenous vein bypass grafts to the right coronary artery.measurement of the proper length for saphenous vein bypass grafts to the right coronary artery can be complicated by the increase in cardiac volume that takes place when extracorporeal circulation is discontinued. inadequate or excessive allowance for this increase can cause undue tension on the grafts or troublesome kinking. this report describes an improved method of orienting vein bypass grafts to the right coronary artery which eliminates problems of incorrect measurement.2004305767
b- and t-cells and ig-containing blast cells in healthy children.studies on rosette-forming cells and igg, iga, igm and ige-bearing lymphocytes were carried out in 70 healthy children aged 5 to 15 years. furthermore, in 20 of these children, the percentages of igg, iga, igm and ige-containing blast cells after pokeweed mitogen stimulation of peripheral lymphocytes were evaluated. no differences in the percentages of rosette-forming cells, or in ig-bearing and ig-containing cells were found when three different age-groups were compared.2004303435
pseduarthrosis of a tibial plateau fracture: report of a case.in an elderly woman a tibial condylar pseudarthrosis was angulated with disabling pain, significant deformity, and progressive articular deterioration. the treatment of this non-union consisted of arthrotomy, mobilization of the ununited medial condyle, slight over-elevation of the tibial plateau, iliac bone grafting to reconstitute loci of bone loss, and rigid interfragmentary and buttress plate fixation. postoperative management consisted of early knee motion and delayed weight-bearing to faci ...2004535264
hyperactivity, antisocial behavior, and childhood injury: a critical analysis of the literature.studies investigating the relationship between hyperactivity, antisocial behavior, and injury in children are reviewed. most of the studies have reported that these behaviors are important risk factors for injury. however, design problems with these studies are noted. early studies employed inappropriate control groups, or omitted them altogether, whereas more recent studies have used retrospective measures that depend on the recall of mothers and teachers, and which are therefore vulnerable to ...20043323243

stereotypic and specific elements of the human colonic response to entamoeba histolytica and shigella flexneri.the clinical presentations of bacillary dysentery caused by shigella, and amoebic dysentery caused by the protozoan parasite entamoeba histolytica, can be indistinguishable, with both organisms causing colonic mucosal damage and ulceration. however, the two organisms are quite distinct, and have very different pathogenic mechanisms. this raises the fundamental question of whether the similar clinical manifestations reflect a stereotypic response of the human gut to mucosal injury, or whether the ...200415104595
comparative analysis of transcriptional regulatory elements of glutamate-dependent acid-resistance systems of shigella flexneri and escherichia coli o157:h7.the ability to withstand an acid-challenge of ph 2.5 or less by shigella flexneri is a necessary trait for virulence and is generally believed to be restricted to the stationary-phase of growth. earlier reports indicated the glutamate-dependent acid-resistance (gdar) system of s. flexneri is under the regulation of rpos, the gene encoding alternative sigma factor that is induced in the stationary-growth phase. the present study reports that unlike escherichia coli o157:h7, s. flexneri cells when ...200415109732
in vitro adhesion and invasion inhibition of shigella dysenteriae, shigella flexneri and shigella sonnei clinical strains by human milk proteins.shigella is the etiological agent of shigellosis, a disease responsible for more than 500,000 deaths of children per year, in developing countries. these pathogens colonize the intestinal colon, invade, spreading to the other enterocytes. breastfeeding plays a very important role in protecting infants from intestinal infections. amongst milk compounds, glycosylated proteins prevent the adhesion of many enteropathogens in vitro. the aim of this work was to determine the effect of human milk prote ...200415115555
microbial-gut interactions in health and disease. epithelial cell responses.pathogenic bacteria use many strategies to secure their survival within the host. enteropathogens exploit intestinal epithelial cells in many ways, including the manipulation of normal cellular functioning, or of cellular structural components, or by the induction of signalling pathways, such as the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. however, the enterocyte warns the host of impending danger and, in turn, elicits a protective response. pathogens are detected by epithelial cells owing to t ...200415123076
