Stimulation of active fluid transport with beta-adrenergic receptor (betaAR) agonists can accelerate the resolution of alveolar edema. However, chronic betaAR-agonist administration may cause betaAR desensitization and downregulation that may impair…
The possible osseous effect of kidney dysfunction was evaluated in a modern skeletal population for future use in assessment of archaeologic samples. Frequency and distribution on the bones of cysts, articular surface alterations, subperiosteal…
This study was conducted to characterize macroscopically and by conventional radiography the bony lesions in a case of Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia and to compare and contrast it with those of the other major hematologic lymphoproliferative…
As paleopathology has evolved from observational speculation to analysis of testable hypotheses, so too has recognition of its contribution to vertebrate paleontology. In the presence of significant structural and density variation (between matrix…
Treatment of diaphyseal fractures requires accurate assessment of the injury to rule out concomitant ligamentous injury at the wrist or the elbow. Minimally displaced ulnar fractures can be managed with bracing. Displaced diaphyseal fractures of the…
In summary, treatment of diaphyseal fractures requires accurate assessment of the injury to rule out concomitant ligamentous injury at the wrist or the elbow. Minimally displaced ulnar fractures can be managed with bracing. Displaced diaphyseal…
The thick (> 4000 m) coarsening-upward terrestrial Neogene sequence of the Sulaiman Range (Middle Indus Basin, central Pakistan) is the western extension of the Siwalik outcrop belt of the Sub-Himalayas. The near-shore to terrestrial sedimentation in…
A three-dimensional (3D) mineralizing culture system using hollow fiber bioreactors has been developed to study the early stages of endochondral ossification by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) microscopy. Chondrocytes harvested from the…
In the mustached bat's central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (ICC), many neurons display facilitatory or inhibitory responses when presented with two tones of distinctly different frequencies. Our previous studies have focused on spectral…
The neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) may play a role in neurogenic inflammation, tissue remodeling of the uterine cervix, promoting vasodilation, parturition, and processing of sensory information in the spinal cord.…
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the diagnosis and management of metastatic renal cell carcinoma presenting as a parotid mass by studying such cases. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective review. METHODS: Identification of 24 previously reported cases of renal cell…
Immunoreactivities for estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha) and ER-beta are expressed in sensory neurons of the dorsal root ganglia (DRG). It has not been established, however, if the two receptor subtypes coexist in the same neuron. Double-staining…
Estrogen receptor immunoreactivity and mRNAs are present in spinal cord neurons in locations that are associated with sensory and autonomic innervation of female reproductive organs. The present study was undertaken to examine the expression of…
We investigated the hypothesis that neural stem cells (NSCs) possess an intrinsic capacity to "rescue" dysfunctional neurons in the brains of aged mice. The study focused on a neuronal cell type with stereotypical projections that is commonly…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether specimens obtained from the perianal area have a Group B streptococcal culture detection rate similar to anorectal specimens. METHODS: This is a prospective cohort study at a tertiary care university-affiliated…
The pulsed field gradient NMR method for measuring self-diffusion has been used for a direct determination of the lateral diffusion coefficient of cholesterol, fluorine labeled at the 6-position, for an oriented lamellar liquid-crystalline phase of…
Context Participation in proficiency testing is required under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988. Although the primary purpose of this testing is evaluation of current laboratory performance, a major secondary benefit of such…
We investigated the importance of changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+](i)) for amiloride-sensitive alveolar fluid clearance (AFC) in late-gestational guinea pigs. Fetal guinea pigs of 61, 68, and 69 days (term) gestation were…
Purpose. The authors attempted to determine male and female medical students' exposures to and perceptions of gender discrimination and sexual harassment (GD/SH) in selected academic and nonacademic contexts. Method. An anonymous, self-report…
Adhesion molecules located on the surface of blood-borne leukocytes permit adherence of leukocytes to the microvascular endothelium, diapedesis of leukocytes across vessel walls, formation of intimate multicell interactions, and enhanced…
Objective. A dose-response relationship for hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), in terms of the proportion of patients achieving the Paulus 20% criteria for improvement, had previously been observed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) receiving a 6-week…
