immunomodulation of low dose streptozocin diabetes in mice reveals that insulitis is not obligatory for b cell destruction.twenty male c57bl/j mice were injected with 50 microliters complete freund's adjuvant (cfa) 1 wk before and 1 wk after induction of diabetes with 45 mg streptozocin (stz)/kg body weight i.p. over 5 d. cfa administration prevented islet infiltration. inflammatory cells were not seen within any of the islets observed. however, islet b cell destruction still occurred. these cells showed evidence of considerable damage, containing swollen mitochondria, contracted nuclei and areas of vacuolation and ...20041304577
semiautomated method for the analysis of formulations of chlorpheniramine maleate and brompheniramine maleate.the determination of chlorpheniramine maleate and brompheniramine maleate in tablets, capsules, injections, and elixirs has been automated. the active ingredient is dissolved in dilute hcl. the dilute acid solution is sampled, made basic with dilute naoh, and extracted with isooctane. the isooctane phase is resampled and the drug is re-extracted into dilute hcl. the absorbance of the acidic aqueous layer is monitored at 265 nm. the method is an automated version of the general usp xix assay for ...2004479076
[weaning from artificial respiration: value of continuous monitoring of mixed venous oxygen saturation].weaning from mechanical ventilation is particularly difficult in patients with combined cardiac and respiratory failure. continuous monitoring of mixed venous blood oxygen saturation (svo2) redefines weaning in terms of tissue oxygenation. a stable svo2 greater than 60% during weaning is a reliable index of weanability. however, further studies are required to establish a tolerance threshold for svo2 during weaning. in the limited experience reported here, an immediate and abrupt fall in svo2, w ...20042633669

experience of a physician-nurse practitioner team in care of patients in skilled nursing facilities.the use of a physician-nurse practitioner team is advocated as an approach to delivering better health care to patients in skilled nursing facilities. the application of this approach in a young community with an inadequate supply of primary physicians and 596 extended care beds is discussed. patients derive benefit from more comprehensive health care delivered with greater attention to individual needs. staffs of skilled nursing facilities enjoy improved communication with the medical team and ...2004404388

effect of primary treatment modality on the metastatic pattern of mammary carcinoma.in animal tumor systems, all three major treatment modalities, surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, may increase the incidence of metastases in the presence of circulating viable tumor cells. in breast cancer patients, selected studies can be found which report an increased incidence of metastases after surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy, but these effects appear to exert little influence on overall survival. caution is advised in using systemic therapy prior to effective primary tumor c ...2004356982

neuropsychological deficits in 'primary' and 'secondary' non-medical drug users.an extensive neuropsychological test battery, specifically designed to investigate brain-behaviour relationships, was administered to two groups of multiple drug users. the 'primary' group consisted of subjects referred fundamentally on account of drug abuse problems. the 'secondary' group were referred principally for neurological reasons, but during history taking they reported drug use. fifty patients, in all, were examined. results showed that people who have received psychiatric care for dr ...20051182648

13-cis retinoic acid enhances in vivo b-lymphocyte differentiation in patients with common variable immunodeficiency.retinoic acid (ra) has been demonstrated to drive both phenotypic and functional in vitro differentiation of b cell hybridomas from patients with common variable immunodeficiency (cvi) who manifest an "intrinsic" defect in terminal b cell differentiation (j exp med 1988;168: 55-71). therefore, we conducted an open trial to determine the effects of oral 13-cis ra (0.5 mg/kg/day; 12 weeks receiving and 12 weeks without drug) on in vivo b cell differentiation in subjects with cvi. at various times ...20051720149

sonography and computed tomography of a gossypiboma and in vitro studies of sponges by ultrasound. case report.a case of retained surgical sponge was imaged by ultrasound and computed tomography (ct). sonography revealed a hypoechoic mass with areas of high echoes and acoustic shadowing. an experiment revealed that the high echoes were attributed partly to the presence of numerous interfaces of sponges. the sonographic detection of a mass with high echoes casting acoustic shadows should alert radiologists to the possibility of retained surgical sponges even if there is no gas or calcification on ct scans ...20051473032

isolation and purification of amyloid protein a by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (hplc) were used consecutively for the isolation of amyloid protein a (protein aa) from amyloid fibrils. highly purified protein aa was obtained and determined by electrophoretic and amino acid analyses. the heterogeneity of protein aa was shown by hplc. the isoforms of protein aa had different hydrophobicities, although they were equal in size and similar in amino acid compositio ...20051564099

pauciconfibula subsolana n. sp. (monogenea: microcotylidae) from morone americana (perciformes: percichthyidae) collected in fresh water in new brunswick, canada.pauciconfibula subsolana n. sp. (monogenea: microcotylidae) is proposed for parasites found on the inner surface of the operculum of morone americana collected in the freshwater reaches of the saint john river, near mactaquac, new brunswick. pauciconfibula subsolana is differentiated from other species in the genus by the 2 posterolateral clamp sclerites, each of which is composed of 2 distinct sections, and by the absence of appendages on the eggs. an amended generic diagnosis is provided for p ...20061779293

low dose prednisone does not affect calcium homeostasis or bone density in postmenopausal women with rheumatoid arthritis.to assess whether low doses of prednisone produce generalized alterations in skeletal homeostasis in rheumatoid arthritis (ra), indices of calcium metabolism and bone mineral density (bmd) were measured in 22 women with ra treated without or with prednisone (6.6 mg daily). ionized and total calcium concentrations, intact parathyroid hormone (pth) and osteocalcin levels were comparable in the 2 groups. bmd measurements in the lumbar spine, and proximal femur sites including the femoral neck, ward ...20061856804

selective gut decontamination reduces nosocomial infections and length of stay but not mortality or organ failure in surgical intensive care unit patients.suppression of the gut luminal aerobic flora to reduce nosocomial infections was tested in a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in patients in a surgical intensive care unit who had persistent hypermetabolism. forty-six patients were randomized to receive either norfloxacin, 500-mg suspension every 8 hours, together with nystatin, 1 million units every 6 hours, or matching placebo solutions administered through a nasogastric tube within 48 hours of surgical ...20061540093
australia's most pressing social problem: nursing vs non-nursing students' views.nursing and non-nursing students (n = 297) were surveyed in 1989 for their opinion of 'australia's most pressing social problem'. significant differences were found between the two groups. although race relations in australia headed the concerns of both groups of students, nursing students consistently chose health-related issues as their choices for 'the most pressing social problem' facing the australian nation. several explanations for this 'focused' interest of nursing students are discussed ...20061538676
