| coagulant, fibrinolytic, and aggregating activity in ascitic fluid. | ascitic fluid samples from 14 subjects with liver cirrhosis and from 13 patients with malignancy were investigated. activated fx was present in ascitic fluid in small quantities with a mean value of 8.7 10(-3) iu/ml. the mean thrombin activity was 70.8 10(-3) iu/ml and the mean plasmin activity was 449.6 10(-3) cu/ml. high levels of fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products (mean 75.4 micrograms/ml) and of antithrombin iii (mean 43.4%) were found. no statistically significant differences between va ... | 2013 | 3706262 |
| effect of fusaric acid (a dopamine beta-hydroxylase inhibitor) on phaeochromocytoma. | fusaric acid, an inhibitor of dopamine beta-hydroxylase, which converts dopamine to noradrenaline, lowered the blood pressure and induced a subjective improvement in patients with phaeochromocytoma. these effects may be due either to an impairment of catecholamine biosynthesis or to a direct action on the blood vessels. the use of this drug in the treatment of patients with inoperable malignant phaeochromocytoma or neuroblastoma may improve symptoms and prolong survival. | 2013 | 3987067 |
| blood transfusion and survival following nephrectomy for carcinoma of kidney. | blood transfusion has been reported adversely to affect survival following surgery for a number of malignancies. we have examined retrospectively the records of 126 patients undergoing nephrectomy for renal carcinoma and established that 80 (63%) were transfused. comparison of the two groups of patients, after controlling for differences in age, sex, tumour stage and haemoglobin level, showed that the transfused patients did not necessarily have poorer survival. in this study, peri-operative tra ... | 2013 | 3690202 |

| renal disease and hypertension: the erythrocytosis factor. | for some unknown reason, the blood hematocrit will become elevated 50 percent or more in some cases of renal disease where hypertension is a factor. in the absence of other identifiable causes of erythrocytosis, this is believed to result from the formation of erythropoietin stimulating factor (esf) by the kidney in response to some intrarenal hypoxic stimulus. in this study it could be demonstrated with the help of computer simulations, that the hypertension was caused by excess fluid being ret ... | 2013 | 3635662 |
