The interaction between compatible pollen grains and the female stigma of Gladiolus gandavensis has been used as a model system for investigation cell recognition in plants. molecular architecture receptive surface investigated, determinants binding to both concanavalin A beta-glucosyl artificial carbohydrate antigen, well esterase activity, have characterized, conditions their isolation established. surface, before after modification, was found bind (125)I-labeled proteins nonspecifically....
Abstract Postmortem specimens from a patient with rheumatoid arthritis who had received 5 g of aurothioglucose were examined histologically, and their gold content was determined by activation analysis. The highest concentration found in the lymph nodes followed adrenal gland, renal cortex other organs reticuloendothelial system. Comparatively low concentrations tissues comprising joint structure. Organs which greatest quantities stored include bone marrow, liver, skin bone. These findings...
Programs for smoking cessation cardiac patients are underused in Canada. We examined the efficacy of an intervention admitted to hospital coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or because acute myocardial infarction (MI).Nurses randomly assigned 276 sequential MI CABG who met inclusion criteria. Participants received intensive minimal smoking-cessation intervention. The included advice from physicians and nurses 2 pamphlets. plus 60 minutes bedside counselling, take-home materials 7...
Youth in southern Africa, particularly adolescent girls and young women, are a key population for HIV prevention interventions. Untreated genital tract infections (GTIs) increase both transmission acquisition risks. South African GTI treatment guidelines employ syndromic management, which relies on individuals to report signs symptoms. Syndromic management may, however, underestimate cases, among youth. We compared infection (GTI) prevalence by symptom-based laboratory assessment...
OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated a nurse-managed smoking cessation program for smokers hospitalized variety of conditions. METHODS: Hospitalized patients who smoked prior to hospitalization and were motivated quit (n = 660) randomized intervention or usual-care groups followed the next year. The included meeting with nurse-case manager; use videotape, workbook, relaxation audiotape, nicotine replacement therapy; nurse-initiated phone contacts after discharge. RESULTS: 12-month confirmed...
We developed the Healthy Families-PrEP intervention to support HIV-prevention during periconception and pregnancy. evaluated preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use with three objective measures.
Summary Hypothymic BALB/c.nu/nu (“hude”) mice were markedly more susceptible than their intact BALB/c.nu/+ littermates to infection with the murine larval cestode, Mesocestoides corti , and antigens of this parasite induced T cell‐dependent immune responses in mice. Defective anti‐dinitrophenol (DNP) antibody by DNP‐ M. larvae DNP‐human gamma globulin (HGG) infected (parasitized) However, on transfer uninfected irradiated recipients, lymphoid cells from responded well larvae. By using washed...
Abstract Serial hair and nail specimens were obtained from 18 patients with rheumatoid arthritis receiving chrysotherapy. Punch biopsies of skin lesions normal‐appearing 4 other gold dermatitis, serial additional at intervals during Gold content was measured in these samples using neutron activation analysis. Small quantities found (mean = 0.30 μg/g), 0.17 0.03 μg/g) prior to chrysotherapy, two‐ fivefold increases after 3–12 months treatment. Compared those who did not develop toxicity,...
Many men with HIV (MWH) want to have children and may encounter HIV- infertility-related stigma experiences. Integration of reproductive health care for is rare. When available, safer conception focuses on prevention but lacks fertility support. We conducted qualitative in-depth interviews in Uganda 30 MWH who desired more self-reported no partner pregnancy after 12 or months attempts. separately interviewed 10 female partners. Interviews explored experiences factors impacting engagement...
Sexually transmitted infection (STI) partner notification is key to fostering STI cure and preventing onward transmission; this critical among people planning for pregnancy given the high morbidity mortality neonates. This qualitative study explores how women considering HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis approach in Durban, South Africa inform future interventions. We conducted a cohort evaluating use as part of safer conception care adult (≥ 18 years) without HIV, partnered with man living or...
This study reports on the effectiveness of a nurse case-managed smoking cessation program for general hospitalized patients that was continued 3 years after clinical trials were completed. Patients admitted to hospital who smoked offered during their hospitalization. The included physician advice, bedside education and counseling with specially trained in techniques, take-home materials (videotape, workbook, relaxation audiotape), nicotine replacement therapy if requested or indicated, four...
Background. This study examined the effects of a nurse-case-managed, multifactorial, risk-reduction program on psychological distress among patients after myocardial infarction (MI). Methods. Five hundred eighty-five men and women aged 70 years or younger, who were hospitalized for acute MI in one five San Francisco Bay Area hospitals, randomized to receive nurse-managed, home-based, multifactorial (n = 293) usual care 292). The program, which began hospital, included brief screen areas with...
This study extends the results of a large randomized clinical trial multicomponent in-hospital smoking cessation intervention for general hospitalized smokers by examining subgroups patients who responded to intervention. The results, obtained using signal detection analysis, produced 6 with varying degrees responsiveness. subgroup most responsive was marked 100% confidence quit at baseline. Among less than confidence, interacted age, depressed mood scores, addiction and alcohol intake...
To examine the options for use, efficiency, and effectiveness structuring a population-based telephone smoking-cessation service.Callers (n=632) to 1-800 number were randomized in 2 (50-minute counseling with 2/6 calls) x (pamphlet/booklet) design print only control.Six-month use of service was 0.6% adult smokers. Service promotion cost 31.02 dollars/person. Telephone resulted higher continued abstinence (5%) than did (1%), P<.05. Amount calls not increase cessation. Six lower completion...
SUMMARY Lactoperoxidase-catalysed radio-iodination was used to compare the surface proteins on red cells from Plasmodium yoelii -infected and normal BALB/c mice. The profile of radio-iodinated separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis different for infected blood similar parasitaemia mice inoculated with doses parasite. Inoculation lower dose resulted in appearance a major protein apparent molecular weight ( M r ) 76000 which labelled extent uninfected purified multinucleate cells....
