hyperresponsiveness to water immersion in sodium retaining cirrhotics: the role of atrial natriuretic factor.cirrhotics do not respond uniformly to head-out water immersion (hwi). some cirrhotics have an exaggerated natriuresis while others are unresponsive. we studied the humoral and urinary responses to hwi in 5 cirrhotics and compared this to 5 normals on the same 20 mm sodium intake. these cirrhotics had a documented tendency to salt and water retention but had minimal or no evidence of significant ascites. plasma levels of atrial natriuretic factor (anf) increased during immersion in both groups. ...20102976331

the versatility of hydroxyapatite blocks in maxillofacial surgery.there is considerable interest at present in the potential role of calcium hydroxyapatite as a biomaterial for bone augmentation in oral and maxillofacial surgery. most of the published work has been on the particulate form, mainly in alveolar ridge procedures. however, hydroxyapatite is also available as solid or porous blocks. the blocks are more predictable in their use than are the particles, and are adaptable and versatile. this paper reviews the biological behaviour of the material and dis ...20102825758
separation and function of neutrophil karyogranuloplasts and comparison with cytoplasts and intact cells.since neutrophil cytoplasts lacking nucleus and granules were first prepared by centrifuging neutrophils over a discontinuous ficoll gradient containing cytochalasin b, several functional deficits have been reported in these cytoplasts. although these functional deficits have been considered to originate from the absence of organelles, cell damage during preparation could not be excluded. therefore, in the following experiments the ficoll gradient was modified to isolate both cytoplasts and kary ...20102820878

uses and limitations of the balance technique.classical balance techniques are a powerful, sensitive, and usually accurate technique for assessing the nutritional or metabolic response to changes in nutritional intake or to metabolic or physiological perturbations. balances are particularly sensitive for examining transient or short-term responses to nutritional or metabolic stimuli. a major factor responsible for the precision and sensitivity of this technique is the precise control of the activities and environment of an individual during ...20113312697

the conus with no great artery.in three patients with complex cyanotic congenital heart disease, the conus was found to have no arterial outlet. the semilunar valves were at similar, caudad levels, and there was malposition of the great arteries. the aorta was related to the body--not the outflow portion--of the right ventricle in two patients with transposition and to the body of the left ventricle in one child with single ventricle. these cases confirm the independent embryological segregation of the conus and the truncus. ...20113207481
clinical experience with the use of charcoal haemoperfusion: is prostacyclin required?twenty patients have undergone a total of 47 charcoal haemoperfusions without the use of prostacyclin. a fall in platelet numbers and evidence of platelet activation have been found during haemoperfusion but few clinical complications have been observed. therefore, we believe that the clinical value of the addition of prostacyclin during charcoal haemoperfusion has not been proven. nevertheless, its apparent protective effect on platelet numbers and activation indicates that further controlled t ...20113894813

biomarkers of aging: immunological events.certain immune functions decline in a gradual way over the life span. to the extent that these changes are well characterized and are phylogenetically observed, they may be considered excellent biomarkers of aging. many of these age-related changes, however, are significantly influenced by age-associated phenomena such as certain diseases or psychosocial factors. immunologic factors, therefore, should be considered as markers of physiologic aging only under very careful experimental conditions.20113058494
