The relative efficacies of hemorrhagic coli (HC) agar and several formulations of sorbitol MacConkey (SorMac) agar, with and without 0.1% (w/v) 4-methyllumbelliferyl-beta-D-glucuronide (MUG), in recovering unstressed and heat-stressed Escherichia coli O157:H7 from Brie cheese, ice cream, and whole
Escherichia coli serotype O157:H7 has been isolated from outbreaks and sporadic cases of hemorrhagic colitis. There is convincing evidence that it can cause this diarrheal disease. Because of the interest in hemorrhagic colitis, it has become desirable to detect this particular strain in human
The continuous epidural registration of intracerebral pressure showed that the pronounced brain edema which develops during the 4th to 14th day of an intracerebral hemorrhage could lead to an increase in intracerebral pressure (ICP greater than 25 mmHg) requiring treatment. During the therapy
Escherichia coli serotype O157:H7 is a recently recognized human pathogen associated with hemorrhagic colitis. Unlike most E. coli strains, E. coli O157:H7 does not ferment sorbitol. Therefore, the efficacy of MacConkey agar containing sorbitol (SMAC medium) instead of lactose as a differential
OBJECTIVE
The evaluation of the effect of transcervical resection of submucous myoma/s in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding.
METHODS
Prospective clinical study.
METHODS
Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1st Medical Faculty, Charles University and General Faculty Hospital in Prague,
This study aimed to compare two various irrigation fluids used in transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) with respect to changes in fluid-electrolyte balance and to evaluate the blood loss during TURP. TURP was performed in 50 patients using distilled water and in 42 patients using a mixture of sorbitol
The authors describe the evidencing of the O157H7 E. coli serotype--an enterohaemorrhagic strain of E. coli--for the first time in our country. This germ is incriminated in haemorrhagic enteritis of children and adults, accompanied or not by an uremic haemolytic syndrome. A total of 717 strains were
Using DNA probes specific for the genes encoding Vero cytotoxins 1 and 2 in hybridization experiments on faecal samples, Vero cytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) of serogroup O 157 were detected in 21 of 63 cases of haemorrhagic colitis, 9 of 31 cases of non-bloody diarrhoea and 14 of 68
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) and specifically serotype O157:H7 are a significant cause of hemorrhagic gastrointestinal disease and the hemolytic uremic syndrome. Methods currently used in clinical microbiology labs, such as sorbitol-MacConkey (SMAC) agar, reliably detect only O157:H7.
A severe outbreak of hemorrhagic colitis occurred in London, Ontario, during the month of September 1985. A total of 55 residents and 18 employees of a nursing home developed diarrhea, and 17 residents (age range, 78 to 99 years) died. Specimens from 38 patients, 37 employees and contacts, and 10
An 81-year-old woman with a history of nephroureterectomy and bladder cuff excision for grade 3 stage pT3N0M0 transitional-cell neoplasia presented with three bladder neoplasms. She also had symptomatic varicose veins in the lower extremities and received low-molecular-weight heparin. During
BACKGROUND
The noninvasive management of the conservative therapy for intracranial pressure (ICP) with hyperosmolar substances is a central problem in the treatment of brain edema. Using transcranial Doppler (TCD), a continuous monitoring of ICP is now possible, because the TCD pulsatility index
Vero-cytotoxin-producing strains of Escherichia coli (VTEC) were identified by the use of DNA probes in 39% of faecal samples from patients with haemorrhagic colitis in England and Wales. The patients with VTEC were distributed widely and their ages ranged from 2.5 to 86 years (mean 41). 3 patients
