Red blood cells (pRBC) collected in citrate, phosphate, dextrose, adenine-formula 1 (CPDA-1) and citrate, phosphate, dextrose-adenine, manitol saline solution (CPD-ADSOL [AS-1]) anticoagulants are increasingly being stored for variable periods in transfusion service inventories following irradiation. While anecdotal reports of increased K+ following irradiation and storage have recently appeare...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most important causes hospital infections worldwide. S. tends to be resistant multiple antibiotics. High-level resistance antibiotics caused by mecA gene, which encodes an alternative penicillin-binding protein, PBP 2a. The present study was aimed detect in potential isolates clinical wastewater. Three wastewater samples were coll...

S. aureus is a frequent cause of infections both in hospital setting and outside it. The growing resistance of this pathogen to beta-lactam and other antibiotics complicates the treatment. The aim in this study was to investigate the frequency of nasal carriage of S. aureus among healthy population who can be the source of infection, as well as a share of MRSA colonisation. We analyzed 5.776 th...

RABINOWITZ, LAWRENCE, AND ROBERT A. GUNTHER. Urea transport in elasmobranch erythrocytes. Am. J. Physiol. 224(5) : 11091115. 1973.-The postulated presence of carrier-mediated transport of urea in elasmobranch erythrocytes was examined using cells of the spiny dogfish Squalus suckleyi. Under steady-state conditions with no net solute or net water flux and the external medium urea concentration 2...

This paper describes a topiramate induced acute bilateral angle-closure glaucoma. This rare adverse effect is an idiosyncratic reaction characterized by uveal effusion and lens forward displacement, leading to increased intraocular pressure and vision loss. We describe a 55 year-old white woman with migraine, spasmodic torticollis and essential tremor, who developed bilateral acute angle-closur...

Diazepam possesses potent anti-epileptic, anti-anxiety activity and also indicated for the treatment of insomnia. It is very slightly soluble in water and shows poor dissolution. Presently, liquisolid compact technique is found to be used extensively as one of the successful tool to enhance the solubility and dissolution of various poorly soluble drugs. The principle focus of this study is to f...
