vinca difformis/necrosis

A 46-year-old man with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) refractory to corticosteroid, splenectomy and other drugs was admitted to our hospital in August, 1994, because of aseptic necrosis of the right femoral head. Although high-dose intravenous gamma-globulin was ineffective, the platelet

Skin necrosis is a recognized potential consequence of an inadvertent extravasation of Vinca alkaloids in the surrounding tissues during i.v. administration. Experimental studies suggest that hyaluronidase, an enzyme that degrades hyaluronic acid and improves the absorption of locally injected

We have investigated the blood flow modifying effects of the vinca alkaloids, vincristine and vinblastine in the murine carcinoma CaNT. Vinblastine at doses of 7.5 or 10 mg/kg induced profound and chronic reductions in tumour blood flow as measured by 86RbCl extraction. Following the maximum

Plumeria spp., native to tropical America, are popular small trees grown widely in tropical areas of the world and as potted plants elsewhere. P. rubra and P. obtusa cultivars and hybrids are most common. A rust disease of a Plumeria sp. (likely P. rubra based on pointed leaf tips, leaves more than

Several strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were investigated for pathogenicity to plant tissue. Inoculations into the intercellular spaces of leaves of Vicia faba (28 degrees C) and Vinca rosea (36 degrees C) showed negative results. In leaves of Nicotiana tabacum (32 degrees C) the bacteria
