Background: Mostly seen toxicities following vancomycin are ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity. We here report a very low birth weight preterm neonate who developed severe episodes of apnea after accidental iatrogenic vancomycin overdose, responsive to treatment with double volume exchange transfusion. Case report: A preterm neonate weighing 1380 grams received two doses of 10-fold of the normal do...

the hydrophobic proteins of plant plasma membrane still remain largely unknown.  for example in the arabidopsis genome, receptor-like kinases (rlks) are plasma membrane proteins, functioning as the primary receptors in the signaling of stress conditions, hormones and the presence of pathogens form a diverse family of over 610 genes. a limited number of these proteins have appeard in protein pro...

Staphylococcal protein A immunoadsorption and plasma exchange were compared for treating chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy. In a single patient, plasma exchange had a more beneficial effect than immunoadsorption on clinical outcome measures. Serum IgM antibody activity to peripheral nerve fell significantly following plasma exchange. Serum IgM and IgA fell more and IgG l...
