| [shigella serotypes isolated july-october 1983 and their antibiotic sensitivity]. | twenty four strains of shigella were isolated from the stool of patients who had been admitted to the hospital with the complaint of diarrhea. of these, 17 were found to be sh. flexneri, and 7 sh. boydii. antibiotic susceptibility tests indicated that all of the 24 isolates probably had multiple resistance factors. twenty three of 24 strains were found to be resistant to ampicillin. this may be important from a therapeutic point of view. | 1985 | 3892249 |
| [detection of shigella antigens in the feces of patients with acute intestinal diseases using a coagglutination reaction]. | a total of 113 patients with acute intestinal diseases have been examined with the use of the coagglutination test. 84.95% of the patients showed the presence of different shigella antigens. in patients with bacteriologically confirmed dysentery the corresponding shigella antigens were detected in 96.97% of cases in s. sonnei dysentery, in 90% of cases in s. flexneri dysentery, in 75% of cases in s. newcastle dysentery and in 100% of bases in s. boydii dysentery. in 81.6% of patients with acute ... | 1985 | 3892986 |

| voluntary hyperventilation changes recruitment order of parasternal intercostal motor units. | the order of recruitment of single-motor units in parasternal intercostal muscles during inspiration was studied in normal human subjects during quiet breathing and voluntary hyperventilation. electromyograms were recorded from the second and third intercostal spaces by means of bipolar fine wire electrodes. flow at the mouth, volume, end-expired co2, and rib cage and abdominal anterior-posterior diameters were monitored. single-motor units were identified using criteria of amplitude and shape, ... | 1987 | 3558179 |
| mechanism of sbcb-suppression of the recbc-deficiency in postreplication repair in uv-irradiated escherichia coli k-12. | the mechanism by which an sbcb mutation suppresses the deficiency in postreplication repair shown by recb recc mutants of escherichia coli was studied. the presence of an sbcb mutation in uvra recb recc cells increased their resistance to uv radiation. this enhanced resistance was not due to a suppression of the minor deficiency in the repair of dna daughter-strand gaps or to an inhibition of the production of dna double-strand breaks in uv-irradiated uvra recb recc cells; rather, the presence o ... | 1985 | 3911022 |
