The Infectious Diseases Society of America advocates using pathogen-directed therapy whenever possible to help reduce the emergence of drug resistance. Options for empiric therapy for outpatients include a macrolide, a new fluoroquinolone with…
The efficacy of amphotericin B bladder irrigation at two concentrations was studied. Patients with funguria (greater than or equal to 15,000 colony-forming units of yeast per milliliter of urine), an indwelling urinary catheter, and a physician order…
Dislocations of the shoulder are the most common joint dislocations seen in the emergency department, and complications of shoulder dislocations are more frequent than is generally believed. It is vital that emergency physicians have current…
CONTEXT: An estimated 60 million Americans use some from of complementary and alternative medicine, though approximately 70% do not tell their physicians about this use. Open communication between conventional medical providers and patients in this…
The low temperatures encountered by overwintering frogs result in a large downregulation of metabolism and behaviour. However, little is known about acid-base regulation in the extreme cold, especially when frogs become exclusive skin-breathers…
Oral lichenoid lesions caused by hypersensitivity to mercury in amalgam fillings may mimic oral lichen planus on clinical and histologic examination. A positive patch test reaction to more than one mercurial allergen increases confidence in the…
We examined response properties of delay-tuned neurons in the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (ICC) of the mustached bat. In the mustached bat, delay-tuned neurons respond best to the combination of the first-harmonic, frequency-modulated…
Semen assessments were performed on ejaculates from 25 men with proven fertility requesting vasectomy. Multiple cytological slides were made simultaneously from each ejaculate and analyzed by a single technician. The morphology data obtained were…
Prompt clinical diagnosis and timely treatment are the hallmarks of the proper care of diabetic patients with foot infections. The importance of careful clinical foot examination cannot be overemphasized. When infection is suspected, effort should be…
At the low temperatures of the overwintering environment of the frog Rana temporaria, small changes in ambient temperature have large effects on metabolism and behaviour, especially since Q10 values are often greatly elevated in the cold. How the…
At the low temperatures of the overwintering environment of the frog Rana temporaria, small changes in ambient temperature have large effects on metabolism and behaviour, especially since Q(10) values are often greatly elevated in the cold. How the…
Endogenous epinephrine has been found to increase alveolar liquid clearance (ALC) in several pulmonary edema models. In this study, we infused epinephrine intravenously for 1 h in anesthetized rats to produce plasma epinephrine concentrations…
Earlier studies in our laboratory demonstrated that only certain commercially available brands of bee pollen contained all the necessary nutritional elements to maintain three different inbred strains of mice in a healthy clinical state for periods…
Objectives: To describe emergency medicine (EM) residency program research requirements, characterize research directors (RDs), and describe their research activities and productivity. Methods: A survey with questions addressing program research…
A partial hominoid skeleton just older than 15 million years from sediments in the Tugen Hills of north central Kenya mandates a revision of the hominoid genus Kenyapithecus, a possible early member of the great ape-human clade. The Tugen Hills…
Gastrointestinal bleeding is a common and potentially life-threatening problem. The incidence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is 40 to 150 episodes per 100,000 population per year.(19, 73, 77) Mortality in large series is 6% to 10% for UGIB…
Statistics tell us that as many as 1 in 20 members of the population will suffer a seizure at some point in their lifetime, a figure which becomes even more likely if one lives to the age of 80. Thus, a careful evidence based approach to the patient…

Multidisciplinary focus groups were convened in three geographically diverse areas of Ohio to compare the application of guardianship and adult protective services interventions in the lives of vulnerable adults. The results suggest that there is…
The auditory cortex of the mustached bat (Pteronotus parnellii) displays some of the most highly developed physiological and organizational features described in mammalian auditory cortex. This study examines response properties and organization in…
