[primary leiomyosarcoma of the pulmonary artery. apropos of a case].	a case of leiomyosarcoma of the pulmonary artery in a 64-year old man without previous cardiovascular disease is reported. the clinical picture, which comprised episodes of paroxysmal dyspnoea associated with acute cor pulmonale, suggested pulmonary embolism. radioisotope perfusion study and pulmonary angiography seemed to confirm this diagnosis, but no improvement was obtained with a prolonged thrombolytic treatment. the presence of a median mass at ct led to exploratory thoracotomy and to the ...	1987	3122693
surgical cannulation of a hepatic vein in dairy cows utilizing diagnostic ultrasound.	use of a diagnostic ultrasonography unit in the placement of hepatic vein catheters is described. diagnostic ultrasound proved to be a safe and rapid means of identifying the hepatic venous circulation. it provided a clear visual guide in an otherwise blind surgical procedure and allowed for a precise determination of catheter placement. thus, the method could be used to advantage in other types of catheterizations. use of ultrasonography reduced the duration of surgery by 50 to 75%, thereby min ...	1987	3294948
insulin-like growth factor i binding in hepatocytes from human liver, human hepatoma, and normal, regenerating, and fetal rat liver.	insulin-like growth factor-i (igf-i) in human hepatoma cells (hep-g2) has, in addition to its effect on cell growth, short-term metabolic effects acting through its own receptor. we have demonstrated that normal human hepatocytes, compared with hep-g2 cells, have virtually no igf-i binding sites. because the rate of growth is the major difference between the hepatoma and the normal liver, we asked if normal liver might express igf-i binding sites under physiologic growth conditions. indeed, wher ...	1988	2832449
ischaemic mouse thigh model for evaluation of pathogenicity of non-clostridial anaerobes.	a mouse thigh model has been devised in which the growing culture of non-clostridial anaerobe in the ischaemic tissue produces inflammatory swelling and death. the swelling of the right thigh served as an index of pathogenicity of the test strain in comparison to the negatively reacting left thigh which received injection of the control strain of bifidobacterium infantis. actinomyces naeslundii exceptionally caused death in all animals within 24 h. mortality and thigh swelling were pronounced (g ...	1989	2914729
intrageneric relationships of members of the genus fusobacterium as determined by reverse transcriptase sequencing of small-subunit rrna.	the phylogenetic interrelationships of 14 members of the genus fusobacterium were investigated by performing a comparative analysis of the 16s rrna sequences of these organisms. the sequence data revealed considerable intrageneric heterogeneity. the four species fusobacterium nucleatum (including f. nucleatum subsp. nucleatum, f. nucleatum subsp. polymorphum, "f. nucleatum subsp. fusiforme," and "f. nucleatum subsp. animalis"), fusobacterium alocis, fusobacterium periodonticum, and fusobacterium ...	1991	1715737
fusobacterial infections in children.	a total of 243 strains of fusobacteria species was recovered from 226 of 1399 (16%) specimens obtained from 213 children. the strains included 65 (27%) fusobacterium sp., 144 (59%) fusobacterium nucleatum, 25 (10%) fusobacterium necrophorum, five (2%) fusobacterium varium, three (1%) fusobacterium mortiferum, and one (0.4%) fusobacterium gonidiaformans. most fusobacteria species were recovered from patients with abscesses (100), aspiration pneumonia (24), paronychia (15), bites (14), chronic sin ...	1994	8034995
non-sporing anaerobes in certain surgical group of patients.	the magnitude of non-sparing anaerobic (nsa) infections has been defined in the postoperative wounds on colorectum in children (57.1%), general surgery (0%), abdominoperineal and uterocervical operations (11-45%) in gynaecologic and obstetrical cases and perforative peritonitis (25.8-32.3%). children below the 6 months age group bear less risk of acquiring nsa infection. under certain situations, metronidazole combats nsa infections in a better way than other antibacterials. the bacteriology of ...	1995	8648152
