Last November I was called in to see an adult male Hindu patient who had been bedridden from diabetes and under the treatment of local Ayurvedic practitioners tor three months. 1 found" him with a subcutaneous abscess of the left leg extending from the hip joint to the knee, discharging pus through an open sinus. The amount of pus discharged daily through this opening was some 16 to 20 ozs. In ...

Uterine and umbilical uptakes of alanine (Ala) were measured in 10 ewes before (control) and during intravenous infusion of Ala, which increased maternal arterial Ala concentration from 115 ± 14 to 629 ± 78 μM ( P < 0.001). In 8 of these ewes, placental Ala fluxes were traced by constant intravenous infusion ofl-[3,3,3-2H3]Ala in the mother andl-[1-13C]Ala in the fetus. Rates are reported as mi...

introduction: the administration of crystalloid fluids is considered as the first line treatment in management of trauma patients. infusion of intravenous fluids leads to various changes in hemodynamic, metabolic and coagulation profiles of these patients. the present study attempted to survey some of these changes in patients with mild severity trauma following normal saline infusion. methods:...

In June, 2006, a 29-year-old woman, fl ying back to England after a 2-week holiday in Cyprus, started to feel unwell and feverish. The day after landing, she saw her general practitioner—who sent her to us, since she had a 13-year history of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), manifesting as rash, joint pains, lymphopenia, and feeling tired and unwell. She had no other medical history of note, ...

Awell-established numerical approach to solve the Navier–Stokes equations for incompressible žuids is Chorin’s projection method [1], whereby the žuid velocity is explicitly updated, and then an elliptic problem for the pressure is solved, which is used to orthogonally project the velocity eld to maintain the incompressibility constraint. In this paper, we develop a mathematical correspondence...

diazinon (dzn) is a synthetic organophosphorus (ops) insecticide widely used in agricultural and household applications. ops, particularly dzn, are highly lipid soluble liquids. intravenous lipid emulsion (ile) has been shown to reduce toxicity caused by some lipid soluble agents. we evaluated the antidote effect of ile on acute toxicity of dzn. twenty-four sprague-dawley female rats weighting ...

neonatal hypoglycemia is common and its prompt ‎management is important to reduce neurological sequelae. to determine the effect of two different glucose concentrations of intravenous (iv) fluid ‎therapy in the incidence of hypoglycemia in sick premature infants, 200 preterm infants ‎weighing 1500-2500 g were selected and randomly assigned into two groups. ‎group 1 received 10% dextrose in wate...

This study investigated the feasibility of targeting the free, unbound forms of prostate-specific antigen (fPSA) for in vivo imaging of prostate adenocarcinomas (PCa), as PSA is produced and secreted at abundance during every clinical stage and grade of PCa, including castration-resistant disease. We injected (125)I-labeled monoclonal antibody PSA30 (specific for an epitope uniquely accessible ...
