The interactions of Flavobacterium columnare isolates of different virulence with the gills of carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum) were investigated. Both fish species were exposed to different high (HV) or low virulence (LV) isolates and sacrificed at seven predetermined times post-challenge. Histopathological and ultrastructural examination of carp and ra...

We present high sensitivity maps of the High Velocity (HV) CO emission toward the molecular outflows around IRc2 and Orion–S in the Orion A molecular cloud. The maps reveal the presence of HV bullets in both outflows with velocities between 40-80 km s−1 from the ambient gas velocity. The blue and redshifted CO HV bullets associated with the IRc2 outflow are distributed in thin (12′′ − 20′′, 0.0...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hyperintense vessels (HVs) have been observed in fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging of patients with acute ischemic stroke and been linked to slow flow in collateral arterial circulation. Given the potential importance of HV, we used a large, multicenter data set of patients with stroke to clarify which clinical and imaging factors play a role in HV. METHODS We...

INTRODUCTION Home ventilation (HV) for children is growing rapidly worldwide. The aim was to describe (1) the sociodemographic characteristics of children on HV and (2) the indications for, means and outcome of initiating HV in children from a developing country. METHODOLOGY This retrospective study included patients sent home on noninvasive or invasive ventilation, over 13 years, by the pedi...

1 The discovery of the supersoft X-ray source RX J0527.8–6954 during the ROSAT first light observation (Trümper et al. 1991) of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in June 1990 has directed some attention to the optical variable HV 2554 because its location is within the X-ray error circle of RX J0527.8–6954 (Trümper et al. 1991, Greiner et al. 1991). Later ROSAT observations improved the X-ray po...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hyperintense vessels (HV) detected on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) indicate cerebral hypoperfusion. However, the clinical meaning of changes in HV is yet to be clarified. Here, we investigated serial changes to HV in patients with AIS who received tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) therapy. METHODS We studied ...

BACKGROUND Data regarding role of socioeconomic status (SES) as etiology and site of involvement of veins in hepatic venous outflow tract obstruction (HVOTO) is scarce and only described from Nepal. We prospectively evaluated the role of SES in patients with HVOTO. METHODS 70 consecutive patients (41 females; mean age 29, range 3-65 years) with HVOTO were studied. Their clinical history, soci...

In this paper we give a thoughtful exposition of the Clifford algebra Cl(HV ) of multivecfors which is naturally associated with a hyperbolic space HV , whose elements are called vecfors. Geometrical interpretation of vecfors and multivecfors are given. Poincaré automorphism (Hodge dual operator) is introduced and several useful formulas derived. The role of a particular ideal in Cl(HV ) whose ...

BACKGROUND Fluid resuscitation is a core stone of hemorrhagic shock therapy, and crystalloid fluids seem to be associated with lower mortality compared to colloids. However, as redistribution starts within minutes, it has been suggested to replace blood loss with a minimum of a three-fold amount of crystalloids. The hypothesis was that in comparison to high volume (HV), a lower crystalloid volu...
