basic equipment requirements for hemodynamic monitoring.hemodynamic monitoring in the critically ill patient requires the use of sophisticated electronic devices. to use this equipment one should have a general understanding of the principles involved and the requirements of a reliable system. this communication serves to explain the requirements of the various components of a hemodynamic monitoring system and to demonstrate how they interact to produce accurate and safe electronic signals from mechanical wave forms obtained from the patient.1982497978
metabolic aspects of intermittent work with specific regard to ice hockey.the focus of this presentation was to examine the metabolic alterations that occur in muscle during ice hockey performance. an attempt was made to describe the significance of several factors that determine the nature and extent of energy producing processes during work and to relate these specifically to the ice hockey situation. the review concludes with an analysis of potential fatigue mechanisms that might occur with recommendations for their control.1983498397
investigation of pregnancy-related changes in red cell 2,3-diphosphoglycerate.significant gestational changes in red cell 2,3-dpg were found. no significant correlation was found between these pregnancy-related changes and alterations in the parameters of iron metabolism or red cell enzymes during the same gestational period. possible reasons for the high concentration found at 21--24 weeks gestation are discussed.1983498536
use of metrizamide in coronary arteriography.in the investigation of the arteriae coronariae by means of angiography, a comparative study has been done of two contrast media in the same patients, by injecting these media in a randomized order. the contrast media are sodium methylglucamine diatrizoate (10:66) and metrizamide, both used in a concentration of 370 mg i/ml. the reaction of the heart was registered in different ways with which also the influence on the blood pressure was measured. the quality of the films was judged by persons w ...1984498916
characterization of different forms of the androgen receptor.three forms of the androgen receptor have been characterized at high ionic strength in partially purified cytosol and nuclear fractions of rat ventral prostate, epididymis, testis, and seminal vesicle by ion exchange chromatography on phosphocellulose, gel filtration in sephadex g-200, and sedimentation in sucrose gradients. the three forms have the following properties, respectively: elution from phosphocellulose at 0.15--0.20, 0.3--0.5, and 0.20--0.32 m kcl; gel filtration radii of 53, 36, and ...1979499078
microorganisms seen by scanning and transmission electron microscopy in legionnaires' disease from human lung.in addition to several anomalous structures, other general forms of definitely rod-shaped microorganisms have been found by scanning and transmission electron microscopy in the lung tissue taken at autopsy from a patient who succumbed to confirmed legionnaires' disease with extensive necrotizing lobar pneumonia. the microorganisms were greatly varied in size and shape. they were micrographed in the act of fission. these forms have been found to some extent throughout the tissue. no nickel was de ...1979499405

[serological reactivity of healthy and ill people in relation to antigens from bacteroides-serotypes (author's transl)].we investigated sera of healthy and ill people with different diagnoses to their reactivity against antigens isolated from six serotypes a--e2 (subspecies) of bacteroides fragilis in indirect hemagglutination tests. these investigations were conducted partly in poland and partly in the netherlands. - in many cases antibodies towards several serotypes of bacteroides fragilis were present in the healthy. in the netherlands we found antibodies towards serotypes c and e2; in poland serotypes d and e ...1979506560
in vitro activity of ly127935.the activity of ly127935, a beta-lactam antibiotic of novel structure, was studied in vitro against facultative gram-negative bacilli, staphylococcus aureus, and bacteroides fragilis. the strains were recent clinical isolates, many of which were relatively resistant to other antibiotics. ly127935 exhibited striking activity against escherichia coli, klebsiella pneumoniae, enterobacter sp., proteus sp., serratia marcescens, and b. fragilis with median minimum inhibitory concentrations of less tha ...1979507785
ly127935, a novel oxa-beta-lactam: an in vitro comparison with other beta-lactam antibiotics.the in vitro activities of ly127935 (ly) were compared with those of other beta-lactam antibiotics. ly was highly active (minimal inhibitory concentration [mic] range 0.06 to 0.25 micrograms/ml) against the common enterobacteriaceae (including providencia stuartiia, enterobacter, and serrati marcescens), 8 to 16 times more active than cefoxitin, cefuroxime, or cefazolin, and from one-half to one-eighth as active as cefotaxime (hr756). the activity of ly against pseudomonas aeruginosa (with mics ...1979507788
