The COVID-19 pandemic has drawn considerable attention to viral pneumonia from clinicians, public health authorities, and the general public. With dozens of viruses able to cause pneumonia in humans, differentiating viral from bacterial pneumonia can…

Because of anatomic proximity, myocarditis is often associated with pericarditis. Although randomized trials have not delineated a successful evidence-based therapy for myocarditis, there is evidence of considerable benefit in treating pericarditis…

Recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are of interest for cochlear gene therapy because of their ability to mediate the efficient transfer and long-term stable expression of therapeutic genes in a wide variety of postmitotic tissues with…

Context: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is common among adults and contributes considerably to morbidity and mortality. Objective: To compare the safety and efficacy of gemifloxacin to high-dose amoxicillin/clavulanate for the treatment of CAP of…

Objective: To describe a case of warfarin resistance apparently caused by malabsorption and to review the literature regarding warfarin resistance. Case Summary: A 28-year-old renal transplant patient with systemic lupus erythematosus was admitted…

Seventy-three patients with hematological cancers undergoing allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) were evaluated for event-free survival (EFS) and toxicity, All received 36 g/m(2) cytosine arabinoside (HDA) and 1200 cGy fractionated total…

Platelet adhesion, activation and fibrinogen-mediated aggregation are primary events in vascular thrombosis and occlusion. An injectable delivery system that can carry thrombolytics selectively to the sites of active platelet aggregation has immense…

Objectives: To test whether dopamine infusion improves oxygen delivery (D over dot O-2) and oxygen uptake (V over dot O-2) in hyperdynamic septic shock patients stabilized by adequate volume and dobutamine alone, or by the combination of dobutamine…

Detailed understanding of the thermal processes in biological targets undergoing laser irradiation continues to be a challenging problem. For example, the contemporary pulsed dye laser (PDL) delivers a complex pulse format which presents specific…

BACKGROUND. Various transmission routes contribute to spread of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) in hospitalized patients. Patients with readmissions during which CRKP is again isolated ("CRKP readmission") potentially contribute to…

In this report we examined the effect of tamoxifen upon the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system. Ovariectomized mice were subjected to one of the following treatments: two subcutaneous injections administered on successive days of the sesame oil…

BACKGROUND: In April 2004, the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III Guidelines for management of high cholesterol encouraged even lower levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) than previous guidelines for high and very…

Costa AR, Panda NC, Yong S, Mayorga ME, Pawlowski GP, Fan K, Penn MS, Laurita KR. Optical mapping of cryoinjured rat myocardium grafted with mesenchymal stem cells. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 302: H270-H277, 2012. First published October 28,…

In a case-control study, outcomes for 58 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients with community-acquired pneumonia ( CAP) were compared with outcomes for 174 HIV-negative patients with CAP. No differences were found in the time to…

Among the varying etiologies of cryoglobulinemia (Cg), type I Cg represents the rarest form and is most often associated with lymphoproliferative disorders such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, or multiple myeloma. Clinical…

Beta hemolytic streptococcus group G is increasingly being recognized as a cause of serious infections. We describe a patient with group G streptococcus septic arthritis of the right knee and osteomyelitis of the proximal tibia. Clinical details of…

Resolution of pulmonary edema involved active transepithelial sodium transport. Although several of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved are relatively well understood, it is only recently that the regulation of these mechanisms in injured…

Objective: To determine the effect of age on the response to anti-arrhythmic drugs. Design: Randomized controlled trial comparing particular drugs. Setting: Multi-institutional (The Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial, CAST). Participants: 2,371…

The combination of aspirin, a thienopyridine derivative, and a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitor has become standard therapy for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Recent studies have shown an increased incidence of…

Examination of a contemporary skeletal collection revealed a rheumatoid subgroup with parameters mirroring those of contemporary clinical populations. This rheumatoid population was also indistinguishable from contemporary (live) clinical…

OBJECTIVE: To compare pain, adverse effects and recurrence of dysplasia in patients with vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia or vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia prospectively treated by carbon dioxide laser or ultrasonic surgical aspiration. METHODS:…
