Liver biopsy specimens were taken in 350 patiens during laparotomy and examined histologically. In 27.7% of all cases liver cell necrosis with invasion of granulocytes could be demonstrated, however only when biopsies were taken at least 45-60 min after start of surgery. There is no clear evidence,
A 5-year-old girl with a mild upper airways infection was admitted to the hospital because of sudden vomiting and drowsiness that evolved to stupor; she was dehydrated, hypotensive, and tachypneic; laboratory tests revealed noncompensated lactic acidosis. She also had hypoglycemia followed by
Effects of recombinant human Tumor Necrosis Factor (rHu-TNF, PT-050) administered s.c. and i.v. on the central nervous system were investigated behaviorally and physiologically in different animal species. With i.v. administration at doses of 10(4) U/kg and less, PT-050 produced no significant
A 7-year-old neutered female domestic shorthaired cat born in Poland and then moved to Japan presented to the local clinic with recent onset of convulsive cluster seizures and status epilepticus. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral swelling of the hippocampus with T2 hyperintensity and
This study was conducted to determine if macrophage elaborated monokines in general, and human recombinant tumor necrosis factor (hrTNF alpha) in particular alter glucose metabolism in a manner analogous to that observed in endotoxin-treated animals. Endotoxin-tolerant rats were infused for 3 hr
Gastro-entero anastomosis with flexible endoscope with the help of rare-earth magnets on biosynthetic model made of the gastrointestinal tract of slaughtered pigs
BACKGROUND
Numerous malignant diseases may cause gastric outlet obstruction. The surgical gastrointestinal bypass, besides the fact that
Growing chicks maintained on a diet consisting of milk powder, casein, starch, yeast, cod liver oil, salts and filter paper develop ataxia, tremors, retraction or twisting of the head, clonic spasms of the legs, and stupor. These symptoms may appear suddenly, usually between the 18th and 25th day,
The GABAergic agonist, muscimol, and antagonists, picrotoxin and bicuculline, have been studied in rats with chronic portacaval shunts and in rats developing hepatic encephalopathy after massive ischemic necrosis due to hepatic artery ligation within 48 hr of a portacaval shunt. After the chronic
Chloroprene is used almost exclusively in the manufacture of neoprene (polychloroprene). Chloroprene was chosen for study because it is a high-volume production chemical with limited information on its carcinogenic potential and because it is the 2-chloro analogue of 1,3-butadiene, a potent,
Rubratoxin B, a metabolite of Penicillium rubrum, is a potent mycotoxin that produces hepatic mid-zonal necrosis. Using propylene glycol as the solvent, the acute LD50 (i.p.) in male mice was estimated at 1.42 mg/kg. Pretreatment with s.c. pellets of pentobarbital reduced this toxicity approximately
Cystic entropium is a rare surgical pathology. Not more than 300 descriptions of such clinical cases in adults could be found in medical journals, and isolated cases-in children. The diagnosis of cystic entropium appears to be difficult because of the lack of pathognomonic symptoms. Visual
The authors report the brain findings in six cases of familial erythrophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FEL) and review the literature, focusing primarily on the neurologic and neuropathologic aspects. Clinically, the most common neurologic abnormalities in the six patients were stupor or coma and
Myocardial infarction (MI) is an insidious disease, gently spreading in developed and developing countries. MI is the consequence of hypoxia in myocardial tissue, which may lead to apoptosis, narcosis and followed by cardiac cell death. Activation of apoptotic pathways during MI is frequently
