Platelet stimulation with ADP results in several responses. including shape change. increase in cytoplasmic ionized calcium concentration [Ca2 ],, and inhibition of adenylate cyclase. 5’-p-Fluorosulphonyb benzoybadenosine (FSBA), which covalently labels an ADP binding site on platelets. blocks platelet shape change but not the inhibition of cyclic AMP levels by ADP. whereas p-chloromercuribenze...

Rabbits received nonpenetrating central corneal knife wounds. Immediately after wounding, a single 2.5 or 5.0 micron dose of mesodermal growth factor (MGF) was applied topically to the wound. Controls were treated with saline. Electron microscopic studies compared the healing responses of the control and treated animals over a 7-day period. MGF was a potent nitrogen for keratocytes in rabbit co...

Blunt or nonpenetrating trauma to the head and neck occasionally results in damage to the cervical segment of the internal carotid artery. This may produce neurologic signs and symptoms that mimic acute craniocerebral injury. The mortality and morbidity associated with these injuries are alarmingly high. These injuries may be missed if one relies only on computed tomography. Angiography is stil...

The syndrome of delayed epistaxis and monocular blindness following nonpenetrating head injury is reviewed. Bleeding results from rupture of a traumatic cavernous internal carotid artery aneurysm into the sphenoid sinus. There were 96 patients with this syndrome found in the literature and another four are added in this report. In 73% of the patients, the cause of the epistaxis was not apprecia...

UNLABELLED Vascular access in haemodialysis is still accompanied by a high morbidity rate. Neointimal hyperplasia due to thrombosis is one of the main causes of vascular access failure. The purpose of this paper is to present the use of non-penetrating titanium clips (VCS) for the creation of an arteriovenous fistula and its outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS A male patient, 47 years old, with en...
