| pulmonary aspergillosis in immunosuppressed patients with haematological malignancies. | invasive pulmonary aspergillosis as a cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with haematological malignancies is becoming more common. predisposing factors are powerful immunosuppressive chemotherapy, neutropenia and synergistic combinations of antibiotics of great potency and wide spectrum of activity. clinical and radiological signs are heterogeneous, sometimes misleading and often absent. treatment is often empirical on suspicion alone. amphotericin b is the only effective drug but it h ... | 2009 | 3749452 |
| introduction to immunocytochemistry. | immunocytochemistry has opened a new era in research and diagnosis. the development of immunocytochemical methods has made it possible to identify in situ normal and pathological tissue constituents, which it has not been possible to detect using ordinary histological methods. however, immunocytochemical techniques involve several pitfalls, which without proper control protocols can easily lead to incorrect findings. when interpreting the results obtained, account must always be taken of the mor ... | 2009 | 2664772 |
| sonographic and pathological staging of patients with clinically localized prostate cancer. | we evaluated 64 patients with clinically localized prostate cancer (on the basis of rectal examination, serum acid phosphatase, bone scan and pelvic computerized tomography scan) by transrectal sonography before radical prostatectomy. of the 48 patients with histologically proved localized prostate cancer sonography overstaged the disease in 5 (10%) and correctly staged it in 43 (90%). all overstaged cancer patients were scanned after either prostatic biopsy (4) or transurethral prostatectomy (1 ... | 2009 | 2681836 |
| regulation of plasminogen activators and their inhibitors in rheumatic diseases: new understanding and the potential for new directions. | over the past several years there has been a rapid expansion in our understanding of the fibrinolytic system. this includes knowledge of the components, availability of recombinant reagents and a better understanding of the regulation of fibrinolysis in health and disease. disturbances in the regulation of the balance between fibrin deposition and removal have been implicated in a number of inflammatory diseases including certain rheumatic diseases. this overview summarizes our knowledge of the ... | 2009 | 2681762 |
