Trained, awake, splenectomized dogs (n = 17) were studied to examine potential mechanisms for early hyperglycemia after hemorrhage (H). Animals were surgically prepared under halothane-nitrous oxide 3 days before the experiment. Chronic catheters were placed aseptically in the portal vein (PV),
The metabolic response to surgery for acute subarachnoidal hemorrhage and its modification by amino acid infusions was studied. Thirty patients with acute subarachnoidal hemorrhage were randomly assigned to receive for 12 h either an infusion of glucose and a balanced amino acid solution (1.68 MJ =
Comparison was made between platelet concentrates prepared from pools of buffy coats removed from standard blood donations and stored in a glucose-free, commercially available crystalloid solution (BC-PCs) and standard platelet concentrates prepared from platelet-rich plasma (PRP-PCs). Platelet
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the frequency and identify risk factors of unruptured aneurysms in first-degree relatives of patients with sporadic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
BACKGROUND
First-degree relatives (parents, siblings, and children) of patients with SAH have a three to seven times increased risk
OBJECTIVE
This case summarizes our experience with the first described intradural extramedullary cavernous malformation at the foramen magnum and reminds the neurosurgical community to consider cavernous malformations in the differential diagnosis for subarachnoid hemorrhage.
METHODS
A 21-year-old
Waning of hyperglycemia has been shown to be closely associated with the deterioration of mechanisms supporting homeostasis during hemorrhagic shock. However, the mechanisms which link plasma glucose levels to maintenance of homeostasis during hemorrhagic shock are not clear. The goal of the present
BACKGROUND
After conventional resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock, splanchnic microvessels progressively constrict, leading to impairment of blood flow. This occurs despite restoration and maintenance of central hemodynamics. The authors' recent studies have demonstrated that topical and continuous
An obese patient, not diabetic, treated with metformin for some weeks, was referred to us with severe inferior digestive hemorrhage, diagnosed with Meckel's diverticulum. Metformin is described as a glucose-lowering agent for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and as antiobesity drug, though
By using a mini-transposon, we obtained two mutated strains of a diarrheal isolate, SSU, of Aeromonas hydrophila that exhibited a 50 to 53% reduction in the hemolytic activity and 83 to 87% less cytotoxic activity associated with the cytotoxic enterotoxin (Act). Act is a potent virulence factor of
A 23-year-old man presented with abdominal pain after suffering blunt trauma caused by a seatbelt injury. His low platelet count of 137 × 10(9)/L was initially attributed to trauma and his underlying hypersplenism due to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Despite conservative
OBJECTIVE
To study the accessibility of chair side blood glucose non-invasive screening method for diabetes mellitus during routine periodontal examination.
METHODS
Fifteen non-diabetics and 15 newly onset type 2 diabetics patients with moderate to severe periodontitis were selected after meeting
The gastric cytoprotective properties of natural honey (monofloral and polyfloral specimens) and of a glucose-fructose-sucrose-maltose mixture (GFSM) was evaluated in the rat using absolute ethanol, indomethacin and acidified acetylsalicylic acid (ASA-HCl) as necrotising agents. Prior gastric
Dengue virus (DENV) causes 390 million infections per year. Infections can be asymptomatic or range from mild fever to severe haemorrhagic fever and shock syndrome. Currently, no effective antivirals or safe universal vaccine is available. In the present work we tested different gold nanoparticles
Platelet dysfunction and prolonged bleeding have been seen in man when glucose polymer solutions, such as dextran, are used to volume replacement. Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is a glucose polymer slightly different from dextran, which is used as a sedimenting agent in leukapheresis procedures. This
The levels of organic acids in the plaque and saliva of 30 subjects aged between 12 and 20 years were investigated. Fifteen of the subjects were caries free and 15 had active carious lesions. The variables examined were the DMFT, plaque index, bleeding index, the flow rate of saliva, daily intake of
