Microflora associated with healthy and diseased

A comparative analysis of the microbiological quality of three turbot (Scophthalnus maximus) farms (A, B, and C) located in Galicia (northwest Spain) is given. The microbial load and types of bacteria in the internal organs (liver and kidney) of apparently healthy fish was monitored over a year, and all the disease problems occurring during this survey were analyzed. The percentage of healthy t...

Diffuse meningeal thickening associated with pleural mesothelioma.

A case of pleural mesothelioma with diffuse spinal meningeal thickening as shown by magnetic resonance imaging is reported.

Turbulent blood flow in the ascending aorta of humans with normal and diseased aortic valves.

Turbulent blood flow may contribute to a variety of pathophysiological effects. Because of its postulated importance, this study was undertaken to determine whether turbulent flow does in fact occur in the human body. In 15 persons (seven normal, seven aortic valvular disease, one prosthetic aortic valve), point velocity was measured in the ascending aorta with a hot-film anemometer probe. In o...
