cardiovascular changes during mental stress: correlations with presence of coronary risk factors and cardiovascular disease in physicians and dentists.stress may play a role in the etiology of cardiovascular disease. research showing that mental stress administered in laboratory settings causes great change in cardiovascular and hemodynamic functioning supports this hypothesis. in a small sample of physicians and dentists, those who showed greater cardiovascular reactivity (hot reactors) to stress were more likely to be hyperlipidemic or to have had a myocardial infarction or coronary bypass surgery. in addition, some of the nonreactive group ...20123506622

the spatial distribution of bacteria in grana-cheese during ripening.the microbial composition and its spatial distribution of grana trentino, a hard parmesan-like cheese, was determined, from vat milk to cheese. after cutting along the vertical axis of the cheese wheels, three layers were sampled diagonally across the cheese: under the cheese rind, an intermediate section and the cheese core. after two different ripening periods (9 and 18 months), the cheese samples were analysed using traditional culture dependent and culture independent methods. milk samples w ...201221943677

determinants of mortality in pediatric patients with greater than 70% full-thickness total body surface area thermal injury treated by early total excision and grafting.recent advancements in burn care have improved the survival rates of victims with severe burn injuries. the total mortality rate in a series of 1,057 pediatric patients admitted to shriners burns institute galveston unit between 1982 and 1986 was 2.7%. the burn size resulting in a 50% death rate was 95% of the total body surface area (tbsa). in this study 19 survivors and 13 nonsurvivors with greater than 70% full-thickness tbsa burn injuries were compared. all survivors were adequately resuscit ...20123546714
microcomputer basic program to calculate the probability of graft and patient survival in renal transplantation.a basic program was written for the estimation of the probability of graft and patient survival in renal transplantation on a microcomputer. the program was developed for single-centre statistics in renal transplant units and uses the life table and logrank test method for calculation of survival rates. the program structure is described in detail to make rewriting easy. it is hoped that this report will help transplant centres without access to main-frame computers to develop user-friendly soft ...20123282769
lactic acid bacteria from raw milk as potentially beneficial strains to prevent bovine mastitis.bovine mastitis produces a wide variety of problems in the dairy farm. the treatment of this disease is based on the use of antibiotics which are not always effective. these drugs are also responsible for the presence of residues in the milk and the increase of antibiotic-resistant strains. probiotic products were proposed as a valid alternative to antibiotic therapies and are also useful for the prevention of infectious syndromes. with the aim of designing a probiotic product to prevent bovine ...201222261519

explanation of broca's pupillometer.broca's pupillometer offers a simple and effective means of measuring the diameter of the pupil. however, it is often used without proper attention to the limitations of its optics. errors of measurement may result from uncorrected refractive error, accommodation, spectacle correction, and spherical aberration (sa). a simple means of minimizing these errors is to hold the pinholes (ph's) of the pupillometer as close to the cornea as is feasible.20123414771
combination chemotherapy using adriamycin, dtic, cyclophosphamide, and actinomycin d for advanced soft tissue sarcomas: a randomized comparative trial. a phase iii, southwest oncology group study (7613).the term soft tissue sarcoma refers to a large variety of malignant tumors arising in extraskeletal connective tissues that connect, support, and surround discrete anatomic structures. all visceral organs also contain a connective stroma that can undergo malignant transformation. because of the histological similarities of this group of tumors and their relative rarity, treatment prescriptions for patients that have disseminated disease are most often uniform. in this study, we asked the questio ...20123295129

identification and characterization of lactic acid bacteria isolated from mixed pasture of timothy and orchardgrass, and its badly preserved silage.in order to understand the relationship between lactic acid bacteria (lab) species and silage fermentation, a total of 65 lab strains isolated from mixed pasture of timothy (phleum pratense l.) and orchardgrass (dactylis glomerata l.), and its badly preserved silages were subjected to phenotypic and genetic analysis. according to these analyses, the isolates were divided into 13 groups, including enterococcus gallinarum, lactobacillus acidipiscis, l. coryniformis subsp. coryniformis, l. corynifo ...201122515692

homologues and bioengineered derivatives of ltnj vary in ability to form d-alanine in the lantibiotic lacticin 3147.ltnα and ltnβ are individual components of the two-peptide lantibiotic lacticin 3147 and are unusual in that, although ribosomally synthesized, they contain d-amino acids. these result from the dehydration of l-serine to dehydroalanine by ltnm and subsequent stereospecific hydrogenation to d-alanine by ltnj. homologues of ltnj are rare but have been identified in silico in staphylococcus aureus c55 (sacj), pediococcus pentosaceus fbb61 (penn), and nostoc punctiforme pcc73102 (npnj, previously ca ...201122123251
