| [diagnosis, incidence and clinical significance of premature lh rise/peak in patients of an in vitro fertilization and gamete transfer program]. | in this study we analysed the prevalence and the clinical relevance of premature (related to the day of ovulation induction with hcg) lh rise (lh greater than or equal to 180%, but less than 300% of the mean of all previous values) or peak (lh greater than or equal to 300% of the mean of all previous values): 12% (2/16) of the conception cycles showed a premature lh peak, 44% (7/16) a premature lh rise and 44% (7/17) showed neither a premature lh rise nor a premature lh peak. the pregnancy rate ... | 2007 | 2376305 |
| onchocerciasis infection in children born during 14 years of simulium control in west africa. | the incidence of onchocerciasis infection in children born since the start of vector control is one of the indicators used in the epidemiological evaluation of the onchocerciasis control programme in west africa (ocp). though initially of littel value, after a decade of control it has become a sensitive indicator of residual transmission. the results of 14 years of control are reported. in 179 villages parasitological surveys were undertaken at intervals of 3-4 years. 15,286 children were examin ... | 2007 | 1949145 |
| acute hypersensitivity to ingested processed pollen. | ingestion of commercially processed honeybee-collected pollen produced potentially fatal consequences in a 19 year old asthmatic male. symptoms of sore throat, facial itch and swelling, difficulty in breathing and stridor lasted for approximately two hours and was followed by clinical respiratory distress with widespread wheeze on auscultation of his chest. rast and skin test data suggest that these complications appear to be mediated by ige antibodies directed against the processed pollen, but ... | 2007 | 3864427 |

| dna methylation pattern during the encystment of physarum flavicomum. | in physarum flavicomum berk., haploid myxamoebae convert to dormant microcysts under conditions of nutrient imbalance. exogenous adenine increases the intracellular content of s-adenosylmethionine (sam) and inhibits this process. however, treatments that reduce the intracellular sam levels relieve the inhibition of encystment induced by adenine. sam plays a major metabolic role in cellular transmethylation reactions. in this study, we compared the dna methylation patterns of growing cells, encys ... | 2007 | 2168719 |
| facilitatory and inhibitory transmitters modulate calcium influx during action potentials in aplysia sensory neurons. | serotonin (5-ht) produces presynaptic facilitation and fmrfamide produces presynaptic inhibition in aplysia sensory neurons. these effects may involve the modulation of ca2+ influx into sensory neuron terminals during action potentials. here, we have used the ca2+ indicator dye fura-2 to monitor directly the effects of 5-ht and fmrfamide on internal ca2+ concentration ([ca2+]i). 5-ht caused a 50% increase in the transient rise in [ca2+]i in response to action potentials, whereas fmrfamide decrea ... | 2007 | 1976321 |
| mechanical cardiac valve thrombosis. is thrombectomy justified? | to determine the incidence and results of the treatment offered to acute thrombotic obstructions of mechanical valvular prostheses, we have reviewed a series of 3,637 consecutive hospital survivors who, between january 1970 and september 1990, underwent single mitral or aortic and double mitroaortic valve replacements (mvr, avr, and dvr, respectively). the cumulative follow-up in these patients was 22,783 years (mean, 7.2 years; range, 0.6-19 years). sixty-five patients (24 mvr, 13 avr, and 28 d ... | 2007 | 1934445 |

| [excision of a splenic cyst using a surgical stapler in partial splenectomy]. | the authors extirpated the splenic cyst of a young girl with the use of stapler in such a way that the distal part of the spleen was preserved. during this case the types of splenic preservative operations and the question of fulminant sepsis found in the patients went under splenectomy were surveyed. according to us the advantage of using stapler in partial splenectomy than the others is that firstly it is technically simple, less time consuming, and the haemostasis is safe. this is thought to ... | 2007 | 2377359 |
