OBJECTIVE To define the contribution of maternal variables that influence the measured uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI) in screening for pregnancy complications. METHODS Maternal characteristics and medical history were recorded, and UtA-PI was measured, in women with a singleton pregnancy attending for three routine hospital visits at 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 weeks, 19 + 0 to 24 + 6 weeks a...

The monocyte and granulocyte azurophilic granule proteinases elastase, proteinase 3, and cathepsin G are implicated in acute and chronic diseases thought to result from an imbalance between the secreted proteinase(s) and circulating serpins such as a1-proteinase inhibitor and a1-antichymotrypsin. We show here that the intracellular serpin, proteinase inhibitor 6 (PI-6), is present in monocytes,...

Background Post Stroke Cognitive Impairment (PSCI) is seen in 40-60% of patients with ischemic strokes. Response PSCI to structured cognitive rehabilitation not clearly understood. We evaluated baseline variables that predict response an eight-week non-pharmacological intervention among mild strokes and compared the responses acute stroke without chronic cerebrovascular disease (CVD). Method 13...

The aim of this study was to review the proinflammatory cytokine profiles in the peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) of patients with peri-implantitis (PI). Databases were explored from 1994 up to and including July 2010 using various combinations of the following keywords: "cytokine", "crevicular fluid", "implant", "inflammation", "peri-implantitis" and "periodontitis". The eligibility criter...

Glucosamine 6-phosphate synthase (EC 5.3.1.19) purified from various rat tissues by a procedure involving chromatography on diethylaminoethyl Sephadex and hydroxylapatite were characterized by means of isoelectric focusing. The non-hepatic isozyme, previously reported to be present in Yoshida sarcoma, has a pI of 4.1 and is distinguished from the hepatic isozyme, with a pI of 5.0. The pI 4.1 fo...

New Zealand albino rabbits were inoculated in the right superior cervical ganglion with 25 microliter of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) (McKrae strain; 10(3) or 10(5) PFU/ml). Positive tear film swabs were detected at least once in 28/32 (88%) of ipsilateral eyes and 6/32 (19%) of contralateral eyes beginning on postinoculation (PI) day 2-6. The average HSV-1 titer in the tear film was 4.0...
