Side-Effects of High-Dose Dicloxacillin Therapy
1976
The limiting toxic factor in high-dose penicillin therapy seems to be the effect on the central nervous system. In comparison with other semisynthetic penicillins dicloxacillin is the most neurotoxic in rabbits, as previous studies have shown (11). In rabbits neurotoxic serum levels also produce hemolysis. Cloxacillin, oxacillin and carbenicillin showed to be less neurotoxic and did not induce hemolysis. The present study was undertaken to determine whether in high-dose dicloxacillin therapy hemolysis is likely in man and is, therefore, of clinical importance.
Lesions to the posterior insular cortex cause dysarthria
2011
Background: Up to now, there are few systematic studies in a sufficient number of patients with lesions involving the insular cortex (IC) examining whether damage of the IC is directly related to dysarthria. Thus, this is the first study applying modern voxel-lesion behaviour mapping (VLBM) aimed to examine whether the IC is involved in dysarthria – and if so – which part of the IC is involved. Methods: Twenty-five patients with acute stroke lesions affecting the IC and peri-insular region were investigated employing VLBM analysis. Results: Present data indicated that dysarthria is associated with stroke lesions affecting the right- and left-sided posterior IC. Conclusions: Owing to the…
Body mass index categories and anxiety symptoms among adults aged =?50 years from low and middle income countries.
2021
Background: Body weight may be a risk factor for anxiety; however, there is a scarcity of studies on this association in older adults especially from low and middle income countries (LMICs). Therefore, we investigated the association between body mass index (BMI) and anxiety symptoms among adults aged ≥ 50 years from 6 LMICs. Methods: Cross-sectional, community-based, nationally representative data from the World Health Organization (WHO) Study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE) were analyzed. The BMI was based on measured weight and height and was categorized as: < 18.5 kg/m2 (underweight), 18.5–24.9 kg/m2 (normal weight), 25.0–29.9 kg/m2 (overweight), 30.0–34.9 kg/m2 (obesity cla…
A2.34 Specific deletion of β-catenin signalling in dendritic cells results in lower Treg expression without influencing the severity of collagen-indu…
2015
Background and objectives Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterised by chronic inflammation and synovial infiltration of immune cells. T-cell priming by activated dendritic cells (DCs) contributes to the pathogenesis of RA. DCs are professional antigen presenting cells that have the dual ability to stimulate immunity and maintain tolerance. However, the signalling pathways mediating the tolerogenic DC function in vivo remain largely unknown. Recently, the b-catenin pathway has been suggested to promote a regulatory DC phenotype in vitro . While activation of β-catenin causes the phenotypic maturation of bone marrow-derived DCs, these cells fail to produce immunogenic …
Therapy with lamivudine and steroids in a patient with acute hepatitis B and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis.
2006
To the Editor: Tang et al.1 recently reported that lamivudine (LAM) improves renal outcome in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and membranous nephropathy. We would like to add our experience on acute hepatitis B and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis.
Topical Fluoride for Preventing Dental Caries in Children and Adolescents
2012
The use of topically applied fluoride has been widely researched as a means to reduce the risk of dental caries in conjunction with other treatment modalities (mechanical oral hygiene, dietary control, antimicrobial intervention, pit and fissure sealants). There is overwhelming evidence that reports not only the significance and importance of the use of fluoride as a caries-preventive agent, but also how safe fluoride application is when used appropriately, particularly in higher risk individuals and populations. This paper reviews the caries-protective benefits of topical fluoride application in children and adolescents, with an emphasis on the clinical efficacy and safety of the vehicles …
Deep ROSAT-HRI observation of the cD galaxy NGC 1399 in the fornax cluster: Morphology and dynamical status of the X-ray halo
2002
We present the results of a deep (167 ks) observation of the NGC 1399/NGC 1404 field obtained from data collected between 1993 and 1996 with the ROSAT High Resolution Imager. We take advantage of the 5" resolution of the HRI to study in detail the structure of the galactic halo and to relate the results to those obtained at larger scales with poorer resolution instruments. We discuss possible non-equilibrium scenarios that may explain the global halo structure. We also find evidence of interactions between the nuclear radio source and the inner gaseous halo.
Effects of exercise on life quality in a rheumatoid arthritis patient
2020
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic-degenerative disease characterized by symptoms that significantly impact on the functional capacity and thus, the ability to carry out daily functional activities reducing the quality of life (QoL). The aim was to evaluate the effects of a strength and conditioning (S&C) program on the quality of life (QoL), the self-perception disease impact, the self-fatigue perception and cardiovascular risk factors in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). 34-year-old woman (height: 1.40m; weight: 36.1kg) diagnosed with RA and CVD underwent a six-month S&C program with aerobic training 2-3 times a week in 1-3 sets of 5-15 minutes…
Le gallerie VIII e IX: analisi strutturale. Le lucerne. Elementi del corredo personale
2007
The paper reports the results of the archaeological excavations carried out between 2000 and 2007 in the Early Christian cemetery of Villagrazia di Carini. Four periods were recognized in stratigraphy, from late antiquity to the mid-twentieth century. The sepulchral typologies are arcosolia, loculi, "tombe a mensa" and "formae". The cemetery was used by the Christian community of the ancient diocese of Hykkara from the 4th to at least the 7th century A.D.
Methacrylate monolithic columns functionalized with epinephrine for capillary electrochromatography applications.
2013
Epinephrine-bonded polymeric monoliths for capillary electrochromatography (CEC) were developed by nucleophilic substitution reaction of epoxide groups of poly(glycidyl-methacrylate-co-ethylenedimethacrylate) (poly(GMA-co-EDMA)) monoliths using epinephrine as nucleophilic reagent. The ring opening reaction under dynamic conditions was optimized. Successful chemical modification of the monolith surface was ascertained by in situ Raman spectroscopy characterization. In addition, the amount of epinephrine groups that was bound to the monolith surface was evaluated by oxidation of the catechol groups with Ce(IV), followed by spectrophotometric measurement of unreacted Ce(IV). About 9% of all th…
