ABSTRACT Helicobacter pylori colonizes the gastric epithelium of at least 50% world's human population, playing a causative role in development chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and adenocarcinoma. Current evidence indicates that H. can invade epithelial cells mucosa. However, relatively little is known about biology invasion survival host cells. Here, we analyze both nature mechanisms responsible for formation 's intracellular niche. We show AGS infected with , bacterium-containing vacuoles...
Aims Periprosthetic fractures (PPFs) around the knee are challenging injuries. This study aims to describe characteristics of PPFs and impact patient demographics, fracture types, management modalities on in-hospital mortality. Methods Using a multicentre design, independent registry data, we included adult patients sustaining PPF arthroplasty between 1 January 2010 31 December 2019. Univariate, then multivariable, logistic regression analyses were performed patient, fracture, treatment...
OBJECTIVES: To compare the outcome of occupational asthma (OA) induced by isocyanates in Ontario (where a surveillance programme for exposed workers has been place over 15 years), with OA other work agents. METHODS: Compensated claims during period 1984-88 were retrospectively reviewed standardised way. RESULTS: 136/235 compensated attributed to isocyanates. Compared causes OA, those had shorter latent before onset (5.9 v 7.9 years, P < 0.05), duration symptoms diagnosis (2.0 3.0 and less...
Objective: The research sought to determine whether case discussion at residents' morning report (MR), accompanied by a computerized literature search and librarian support, affects hospital charges, length of stay (LOS), thirty-day readmission rate.Methods: This case-control study, conducted from August 2004 March 2005, compared outcomes for 105 cases presented MR within 24 hours admission 19,210 potential matches, including not MR. With matching criteria patient age (± 5 years), identical...
We evaluated associations between dust exposure, demographic factors, and lung function by longitudinal cross-sectional analyses in 475 steelworkers who participated at least three spirometry tests over 5 yr 1982 1991. Baseline follow-up changes baseline final assessment attributable to age, height, weight, weight gain, smoking status, pack-years, years worked dusty areas were examined using stepwise multiple linear regression techniques. Smoking, aging, being overweight, excessive exposure...
Morning report is accepted as an essential component of residency education throughout different parts the world.To review evidence educational value, purpose, methods, and outcomes morning report.A literature search PubMed, Ovid, Cochrane Library for English-language studies published between January 1, 1966, October 31, 2011, was performed. We searched keywords Medical Subject Heading terms related to medical education, attitudes, in regard "morning report." Title abstract review, followed...
As part of a previous study, we identified Ontario cases isocyanate-induced occupational asthma (OA) and the companies at which they worked. The Ministry Labour maintained computerized database including isocyanate air sampling determinations conducted by Ministry. Within this database, compared levels concentrations measured 20 case [with compensated claims] with 203 noncase companies, based on samples collected during same 4-year period OA claims arose. proportion that were ever recorded...
The dosimeter method of administering doubling cumulative doses methacholine to measure bronchial responsiveness was standardized control for the effects a number potential influencing variables. aerodynamic mass median diameter challenge aerosol produced from DeVilbiss 646 nebulizer proved be 1.2 mu, and mean output per inhalation 8.9 microliters. Each dose comprised 5 inhalations. Cumulative ranged 0.3 units (1 unit = 1 1-mg/ml solution methacholine, i.e., micrograms methacholine) possible...

As I complete work on this essay in November 2012, several events coincide, confirming that it is a significant moment to be...
Surface coalminers are generally thought to be at minimal risk of developing pneumoconiosis. Biopsy-proved silicoproteinosis was found in a 34-year-old surface coalmine driller, and two nine other drill crew members who worked for the same company had chest radiographic findings compatible with simple silicosis. Reanalysis data from previous United States Public Health Service survey coalminers, after exclusion those underground mining experience, showed that 38% cases pneumoconiosis...
We investigated the ability of smoker and nonsmoker pulmonary alveolar macrophages (AM) to facilitate lymphocyte proliferative responses in a novel system allowing separation AM effects. Bronchoalveolar lavage cells (BLC) were obtained from 7 non-smokers 5 older smokers cultured with purified peripheral blood lymphocytes (PL) mitogen phytohemagglutinin. Increasing amounts BLC added such that BLC/PL ratios 1:100, 1:10, 1:2, 1:1 either autologous or homologous PL. Lymphocyte proliferation was...
Pneumoconioses are characterized as irreversible, progressive respiratory diseases. No effective therapy exists to prevent progression of these Whole-lung lavage (WLL) might limit the rate disease through removal dust, inflammatory cells, and cytokines. We performed WLL on a 54-year-old underground miner employed motorman roof bolter 55-year-old driller at surface coal mine. Both demonstrated normal lung function chest radiographs showing ILO profusion category 2 nodular interstitial...
AbstractTetrandnne is a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid which has been shown to exhibit antifibrotic activity against silicosis. Tetrandrine characterized by its strong binding alveolar macrophages and inhibition of particle-induced respiratory burst in these phagocytes. In contrast, tubocurine tubocurarine are structurally similar tetrandrine but little effect on fibrosis or activation macrophages. The objective the present study was test macrophage production monokines response occupational...

Objective:The research sought to determine the effect of a clinical medical librarian (CML) on outcomes in-patients internal medicine service.Methods:A prospective study was performed with two in-patient teams. Team 1 included CML who accompanied team daily rounds. The answered questions posed at point care immediately or in emails post-rounds. Patients 2, which did not include CML, as well patients require consultation by 1, served control population. Numerous and library metrics were...
✓ The case is reported of a 45-year-old woman who was being treated for chronic back and right leg pain with intrathecal morphine administered via subcutaneous continuous-infusion device. She received an accidental 450-mg bolus injection intrathecally developed hypertension, status epilepticus, intracerebral hemorrhage, respiratory failure. Treatment continuous intravenous naloxone infusion, lumbar catheter drainage cerebrospinal fluid, control hypertension epilepticus resulted in excellent...
