| treatment of localized neuroblastoma. | the treatment of neuroblastoma must take into account the prognosis as determined at the time of diagnosis. the stage is an important prognostic factor. in evans's stage i neuroblastoma, surgery is curative in itself and adjuvant treatment is not needed. in evans' stage ii, it is our opinion that the presence of involved lymph nodes worsens the prognosis. therefore, we suggest that patients with stage ii should be divided into stage iia (without lymph node involvement) and stage iib (with lymph ... | 2011 | 3766913 |
| the place of exercise in the long-term treatment of hypertension. | the antihypertensive effects of exercise have been examined in 2 randomized studies of multiple levels of activity. in 12 normal subjects, 1 month's exercise 3 times weekly lowered blood pressure (bp) and vascular resistance. there was only a slightly greater effect after 7 times/week exercise. in most subjects there was a marked reduction in noradrenaline spillover rate, a measure of sympathetic activity. exercise also improved glucose utilization and lowered plasma cholesterol. thirteen previo ... | 2011 | 3122065 |
| aggressive combination therapy in the successful management of life-threatening intracranial hemorrhage in a patient with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. | we describe acute therapy for a 13-year-old female from panama with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura (itp) refractory to steroids, splenectomy, vinca alkaloids, and azathioprine. she presented with neurologic deterioration from a posterior fossa intracranial hemorrhage (ich). this followed a 3-month history of severe dysfunctional uterine bleeding, progressive from menarche, which had required multiple red cell transfusions. steroid and vinblastine therapy and transfusion of 40 u of p ... | 2011 | 3766911 |

| conversion of serine to glycerate in intact spinach leaf peroxisomes: role of malate dehydrogenase. | in photorespiration, leaf peroxisomes convert serine to glycerate via serine-glyoxylate aminotransferase and nadh-hydroxypyruvate reductase. we isolated intact spinach leaf peroxisomes in 0.25 m sucrose, and characterized their enzymatic conversion of serine to glycerate using physiological concentrations of substrates and coenzymes. in the presence of glycolate (glyoxylate), and nadh and nad alone or together in physiological proportions, the rate of serine-to-glycerate conversion was enhanced ... | 2011 | 3080957 |
