| reduced l-type calcium current in ventricular myocytes from pigs with hyperdynamic septic shock. | to hypothesize that reduced l-type calcium current with consequent shortening of cardiac repolarization is present in a clinically relevant porcine model of hyperdynamic septic shock. myocardial depression is a well-recognized manifestation of sepsis and septic shock. reduction of l-type calcium current was demonstrated to contribute to the myocardial depression in endotoxemic rodents. | 2010 | 20029342 |
| occlusive dressings. does dressing type influence the growth of common bacterial pathogens? | we studied the effect of different occlusive dressings and of air exposure on the growth of four pathogenic bacteria in wounds. partial-thickness wounds on domestic pigs were inoculated with staphylococcus aureus, clostridium perfringens, bacteroides fragilis, or pseudomonas aeruginosa. each wound was covered with three dressings (duoderm, opsite, or vigilon), or left exposed to air. groups of wounds were sampled at 24, 48, and 72 hours. staphylococcus aureus reached high levels beneath all of t ... | 1990 | 2119166 |
