the relationship between intracellular and extracellular potassium in normal and malnourished subjects as studied in leukocytes.	leukocyte potassium has been measured in normal subjects and in malnourished children with and without edema both on admission and during recovery. in nonedematous malnourished children the potassium content was low (328 mmol/kg dry solids) and took 2-3 weeks of rehabilitation to return to normal (374 mmol/kg dry solids). leukocytes from edematous children had normal intracellular potassium values. however, 5 days on a maintenance diet reduced the intracellular potassium in the children with kwa ...	1999	99717
implications for adult roles from differential styles of mother-infant bonding: an ethological study.	ethological observations of maternal and infant behaviors of nine vervet monkey pairs (cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus) showed the effects of differential styles of early maternal responsiveness on later infant competence. those infants receiving the least amount of maternal responsiveness and the most time-off the mother in the first 3 months of development were more socially competent at 6 months of age. the results are discussed within current ethological "attachment" theories. the detachment ...	1979	105083
fetal heart rate during a maternal grand mal epileptic seizure.	although maternal ingestion of antiepileptic drugs is strongly suspected of causing congenital defects, particularly oral clefts, the effect of epilepsy itself or a combined effect of drug intake and epilepsy have not been excluded as etiological factors. very little is known about fetal oxygenation during a maternal grand mal epileptic seizure. we describe two cases in which fetal heart rate was recorded during a maternal epileptic seizure during labor. the first fetus became clearly asphyctic ...	1998	106102

variation in epitopes of the b subunit of vibrio cholerae non-o1 and vibrio mimicus cholera toxins.	monoclonal antibodies reacting with the b subunit of vibrio cholerae o1 strain 569b cholera toxin (ct-b) were used to identify unique and common epitopes of v. cholerae non-o1 and vibrio mimicus ct-b. vibrio cholerae non-o1 strains produced ct-b showing three monoclonal antibody reaction patterns (epitypes), which corresponded with epitypes described previously for v. cholerae o1 classical biotype ct-b (ct1), el tor biotype ct-b (ct2), and a unique v. cholerae non-o1 ct-b (ct3), which lacked an ...	1990	1697780
the value of an expert system in performing clinical drug trials.	an expert system has been designed to assist the cardiologist in determining whether patients can be included in clinical trials. this system contains knowledge on inclusion and exclusion criteria for six drug trials, and has been validated in 100 randomly selected patients. in 97 cases, the expert system and the cardiologist made an identical classification; in the remaining three cases, the patient was incorrectly classified by the physician. the system will also optimize the order in which qu ...	2006	1764928
role of vibrio mimicus protease in enterotoxigenicity.	recently, we have purified and characterised a metalloprotease produced by vibrio mimicus. the role of v. mimicus protease (vmp) in fluid accumulation (fa) in rabbit ileal loops (ril) was investigated. although live cells or crude vmp prepared from cell-free culture supernatant showed activity in ril, the purified vmp failed to induce fa in the ril. when vmp in crude preparation was inactivated by preparing the fraction in the presence of egta (ethyleneglycol-bis [beta-aminoethylether]-n, n, n1, ...	1991	1800566
purification and characterization of a hemolysin of vibrio mimicus that relates to the thermostable direct hemolysin of vibrio parahaemolyticus.	a hemolysin (designated vm-rtdh) from vibrio mimicus (aq0915-e13) was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation and successive column chromatography with deae-sephadex a-25, hydroxyapatite, mono q, superose 12 and phenyl-superose. the mr of the subunit was estimated to be about 22,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-slab gel electrophoresis. the isoelectric point of vm-rtdh was approximately ph 4.9. the hemolytic activity of vm-rtdh was stable upon heating at 100 degrees c for 10 min, similar to that ...	1991	1804756
vascular permeability enhancement by vibrio mimicus protease and the mechanisms of action.	vibrio mimicus, a causative agent of gastroenteritis, has also been reported to attribute to extraintestinal infections. recently we have purified a metalloprotease produced by the pathogen: however, the role of the protease in v. mimicus infection has not been documented. the v. mimicus protease (vmp) was found to enhance vascular permeability and form edema when injected into the dorsal skin of guinea pig and rat. the permeability enhancement by vmp was observed in a dose-dependent manner in b ...	1991	1808459
