l ornithine/diarrhea

The name Vibrio hollisae (synonym = Special Bacteriology group EF-13) is proposed for a new group of 16 strains that occurred in stool cultures of patients with diarrhea. V. hollisae is a small gram-negative rod, which is motile with a single polar flagellum. No lateral or peritrichous flagella were

Previously, we demonstrated that two nonselective inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), L-NG-nitroarginine (L-NNA) and L-NG-nitroarginine methyl ester (L-NAME), reduced some signs of morphine withdrawal in rats. The present work extended these studies to include 7-nitroindazole (7-NI), an

Lysinuric protein intolerance is an autosomal recessive disease, due to a defect in intestinal, renal and hepatic dibasic amino acid transport. Two new cases in the same family are reported. The disease appears progressively during the first months of life with failure to thrive, anorexia, vomiting,

Strains formerly classified as the aerogenic (gas-producing) biogroup of Vibrio fluvialis were shown by DNA relatedness to be a separate species. The species was named Vibrio furnissii sp. nov. (type strain ATCC 35016 = CDC B3215). Three strains of V. furnissii were 79% or more related to the type

Variceal bleeding is the second most important precipitating factor related to the development of episodic hepatic encephalopathy; but to date there are no recommendations to prevent this complication. The aim of this study was to compare if primary prophylaxis with lactulose or L-ornithine
