Three consecutive doses of 75 mg of cefoxitin per kg were given intravenously every 6 h (225 mg/kg), in addition to penicillin or ampicillin, to 24 patients on days 4 and 5 and 9 and 10 of therapy for meningitis. Haemophilus influenzae b was isolated from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 21 patients, Streptococcus pneumoniae from 2 patients, and Neisseria meningitidis from 1 patient. The median min...

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is one of the most pathogenic microorganisms affecting amphibians in both captivity and in nature. The establishment of B. dendrobatidis free, stable, amphibian captive breeding colonies is one of the emergency measures that is being taken to save threatened amphibian species from extinction. For this purpose, in vitro antifungal susceptibility testing and the dev...

BACKGROUND Renal replacement therapy (RRT) has been implemented extensively in people to facilitate recovery from acute renal failure (ARF). RRT has not been explored in horses, but might provide a further treatment option in horses with ARF. OBJECTIVE To investigate efficacy and safety of RRT in horses. ANIMALS Five healthy adult horses. METHODS A prospective study was performed on horse...

Codling moth Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is the main pest of apple all over world. Besides usage broad spectrum insecticides being control for C. pomonella, also there a potential entomapathogen nematodes(EPN) same control. In this study, efficacies four entomopathogenic nematode species [Steinernema carpocapsae (Tokat Bakisli05), S. feltiae (Tokat-Emir), Heterorhabditis bac...

Abstract. Naibaho NM, Salusu HD, Rudito, Saragih B, Kusuma IW, Fatriasari W, Arung ET. 2023. Sensory evaluation and antibacterial activity of bee pollen extracts isolated from several stingless bees in two drying methods. Biodiversitas 24: 2682-2688. This study aims to determine six extracts' sensory characteristics activity. The samples were dried using a chiller method at 4°C (14-22 days) 40°...

BACKGROUND Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal has been proposed to achieve protective ventilation in patients at risk for ventilator-induced lung injury. In an acute study, the authors previously described an extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal technique enhanced by regional extracorporeal blood acidification. The current study evaluates efficacy and feasibility of such technology applied ...

Invasive pituitary adenomas are usually refractory to routine neurosurgery, radiosurgery or medications, and alternative therapies are needed. The effects of temozolomide (TMZ) on the inhibition of gonadotroph adenoma cell viability and hormone secretion were evaluated. Cell viability and IC50 values were evaluated after αT3-1 cells were treated with TMZ (31.25-1000 µM) or vehicle for 0-72 h. C...

We investigate the mechanism of talc pleurodesis (TP) in 20 patients with recurrent malignant pleural effusion and 10 patients with nonmalignant pleural effusions. We measured IL-8 levels before and 6 h after TP and find a significant threefold increase (2.26 ng/mL ± 0.7 to 6.5 ng/mL 0.1), which explains the recruitment of inflammatory cells in these patients. We hypothesize that TP is enable b...

In this prospective controlled study, the pharmacokinetic profiles of alpha-interferon 2b (alphaIFN-2b) were determined by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method in hepatitis C virus-positive (HCV+) dialysis and nonuremic patients, after a single subcutaneous injection of 3 million units. Ten HCV+/RNA+ patients (group A) with a normal renal function (mean serum creatinine: 1.03 +/- 0.26 [...
