Few published reports exist describing morbidity and mortality in domestic zebra finch colonies maintained in a laboratory animal setting. A retrospective study of clinical disease and mortality in quarantined adult zebra finches was performed. Animals were observed during the 2 week quarantine
OBJECTIVE
We intended to find out the effectiveness of lactic acidosis therapy for mitochondrial toxicity.
METHODS
HIV-patients receiving nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), hospitalized with lactic acidosis or symptomatic hyperlactatemia. Venous hyperlactatemia was considered at >
BACKGROUND
Benign pneumoperitoneum (BPPT) is defined as asymptomatic free intraabdominal air or as pneumoperitoneum without peritonitis. Symptomatic free air requires surgical anagement, but management of asymptomatic pneumoperitoneum is controversial. In this study, we investigate the diagnosis and
A 3-year-old girl, born to an intravenous-drug-dependent mother, had protracted diarrhea, failure to thrive, generalized lymphadenopathy, and recurrent fevers during the first six months of life. At 7 months of age, the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome was detected in her saliva by DNA dot-blot
Thirty-four adult ponies were used to determine the effects of single oral doses of copper (Cu) supplements (0, 20, and 40 mg of Cu/kg of body weight) on the toxicity of oral doses of selenium (Se) supplements (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 mg of Se/kg of body weight) administered 24 hours after the copper was
A 9 1/2-month-old girl was transferred to our institution for evaluation and treatment of a lung abscess. Presenting symptoms included low-grade fever, irritability, diarrhea, and tachypnea. Chest radiograph showed a dense opacity with an air-fluid level in the lower portion of the right hemithorax.
In June 2004 an 8-year-old boy was admitted to a hospital in Thessaloniki, Greece, because of high fever, tachypnea, hypotonia, diarrhea, and tonoclonic convulsions. Phlebovirus infection was diagnosed by IgG seroconversion to Toscana virus. As IgM antibodies were not detected, it is suggested that
Background: The yellow fever (YF) vaccination is recommended by the WHO for people traveling or living in endemic areas at risk for yellow fever infections in Africa and South America. Although the live attenuated yellow fever vaccine is
