The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of chronic co-exposure to chlorpyrifos (CPF) and deltamethrin (DLT) on erythrocyte osmotic fragility, lipid peroxidation and the ameliorative effect of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) on erythrocyte fragility. Thirty-six male Wistar rats divided into six groups of six rats each were used for the study. Groups I (S/oil) and II (ALA) were given soya oil (2 m...

This paper deals with the robust expansion of Domain LexicoTaxonomy (DLT). DLT is a domain taxonomy enriched with domain lexica. DLT was proposed as an infrastructure for crossing domain barriers (Huang et al. 2004). The DLT proposal is based on the observation that domain lexica contain entries that are also part of a general lexicon. Hence, when entries of a general lexicon are marked with th...

Editor’s key points † A new EZ bronchial blocker was compared with double-lumen tube (DLT) for providing single-lung ventilation (SLV). † Forty patients undergoing thoracic surgery were randomized to one of the two groups. † EZ-Blocker (EZ) provided comparable quality of lung collapse to DLT, but took longer for its placement. † EZ will be an efficient alternative for SLV where DLT cannot be us...

PURPOSE To identify brain dominance for language functions with DLT and correlate these results with those obtained from fMRI in patients suffering from intractable temporal lobe epilepsy. METHOD This study reports on 13 patients who underwent pre-surgical epileptic evaluation between April and October 2004 at the Epilepsy Surgery Program, Hospital Sao Lucas, PUCRS. In DLT, dominance was asse...

388 The Editor, I read with interest the article titled “Selection of an Appropriate Left‐sided Double‐lumen Tube Size for One‐lung Ventilation among Asians.”[1] I congratulate the authors for focusing this unique problem with Asian patients. As stated by the authors, every anesthesiologist would prefer a double‐lumen tube (DLT), which will fit into the patient without any trauma. In this study...

Deltamethrin (DLT) is a type II pyrethroid insecticide widely used in agriculture and public health. DLT is a potent neurotoxin that is primarily cleared from the body by metabolism. To better understand the dosimetry of DLT in the central nervous system, a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for DLT was constructed for the adult, male Sprague-Dawley rat that employed both flow-l...

CONTEXT Selecting an appropriate size double-lumen tube (DLT) for one-lung ventilation has always been a challenge as most choose it based on experience or using the existing guidelines based on gender and height. AIMS The aim of this study was to determine if the appropriate choice of this tube could be based on the patients' height, weight, tracheal diameter (TD), or the left main stem bron...

The most serious issue in domino liver transplantation (DLT) using liver grafts from patients with transthyretin (TTR)-related familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) is the development of iatrogenic transmitted amyloidosis (de novo amyloidosis) in DLT-recipients. However, little is known regarding the mechanisms of the initial stage of amyloid formation in these recipients. We detected initial l...

To the Editor: Sazak et al. (1) recently published a randomized study comparing 2 right-sided double-lumen tubes (R-DLTs) from different manufacturers. Assessing R-DLTs’ positions by bronchoscopy, they showed a 40% to 50% nonoptimal placement in the supine position and a 30% to 35% nonoptimal placement following turning the patient in lateral decubitus without any statistically significant diff...
