| pulsatile flow changes in the anterior cerebral arteries in infants with patent ductus arteriosus: measured with doppler technique. | cerebral hemodynamics were measured, using the doppler ultrasound technique (directed toward anterior cerebral artery through the anterior fontanel), in 6 patent ductus arteriosus (pda) patients with large left to right shunt and in 32 neonates before and just following functional closure of ductus arteriosus. pda was confirmed by color echocardiogram and doppler flow study. all 6 sick babies had prominent retrograde flow in the descending aorta during diastole. the value of pulsatility index (p ... | 2009 | 2700277 |
| [cataract surgery 220 years ago]. | the author reports on the first 14 cataract extractions performed by karl kaspar von siebold, a würzburg surgeon, in 1766/67. he used daviel's method. at that time there was no anesthesia, no sterility or even antisepsis, and no optical correction of aphakia for his patients. four eyes were lost due to infection and another four had much poorer vision after surgery due to irregular corneal scarring. in six cases both patient and physician were satisfied with the result. siebold's case reports ex ... | 2009 | 2689768 |

| new findings in anxiety. a synthesis for clinical practice in 1985. | antidepressant therapy for panic attacks, exposure therapy for stimulus-dependent anxieties, and, to a lesser extent, clomipramine therapy for obsessive-compulsive symptoms have transformed the treatment of anxiety disorders and ushered in an era of rapid progress in research on anxiety and anxiety disorders. in most cases, these symptomatic treatments should be recommended first. after these approaches have produced maximal benefit, other treatments can be considered if indicated. | 2009 | 2859578 |

| Atypical Shigella boydii 13 encodes virulence factors seen in attaching and effacing Escherichia coli. | Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) is a foodborne pathogen that causes watery diarrhea and hemorrhagic colitis. In this study, we identified StcE, a secreted zinc metalloprotease that contributes to intimate adherence of EHEC to host cells, in culture supernatants of atypical Shigella boydii 13 (Shigella B13) strains. Further examination of the Shigella B13 strains revealed that this cluster of pathogens does not invade but forms pedestals on HEp-2 cells similar to EHEC and enteropathogenic E. col ... | 2011 | 22126649 |

| a unique arabinose 5-phosphate isomerase found within a genomic island associated with the uropathogenicity of escherichia coli cft073. | previous studies showed that deletion of genes c3405 to c3410 from pai-metv, a genomic island from escherichia coli cft073, results in a strain that fails to compete with wild-type cft073 after a transurethral cochallenge in mice and is deficient in the ability to independently colonize the mouse kidney. our analysis of c3405 to c3410 suggests that these genes constitute an operon with a role in the internalization and utilization of an unknown carbohydrate. this operon is not found in e. coli k ... | 2011 | 21498648 |

| biphasic radiation-sensitivity of the transplantation immunity for rejection of an allogeneic ascites tumor. | transplantation immunity for second-set rejection of an allogeneic ascites tumor was induced by sensitizing mice with h-2-identical allogeneic spleen cells, and radiation-sensitivity of this immunity was studied. the immunity was not severely affected by 400 rads whole-body x-ray irradiation given at one day before the initial antigenic stimulation. in contrast, it was totally inactivated by 300-400 rads irradiation that was given one day before tumor challenge. an adoptive cell transfer experim ... | 2011 | 3042613 |
