Increased Detection of Polymicrobial Septicaemia by Repeat Subculture

extremal region detection guided by maxima of gradient magnitude

a problem of computer vision applications is to detect regions of interest under dif- ferent imaging conditions. the state-of-the-art maximally stable extremal regions (mser) detects affine covariant regions by applying all possible thresholds on the input image, and through three main steps including: 1) making a component tree of extremal regions’ evolution (enumeration), 2) obtaining region ...

Polymicrobial septicaemia due to Clostridium difficile and Bacteroides fragilis.

531 of observation were available for analysis. In total, 46 women had been diagnosed during the follow up period by the consultant responsible for their care as suffering from a first stroke (ICD (8th revision) codes 430-438). Thirteen had suffered a subarachnoid haemorrhage, of whom four died; eight had an aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation detected by angio-graphy or at necropsy. Two oth...

Increased mean platelet volume in septicaemia.

An increased mean platelet volume (MPV), measured by the Coulter counter model S plus, was found in 13 of 25 patients with proven septicaemia but in none of 25 patients with localised bacterial infection and negative blood cultures. The increase in MPV was found both in patients with normal and low platelet counts and was not related to a particular micro-organism. Patients who responded favour...

Improvement of Haemorrhagic Septicaemia Vaccine by Removing of Anaphylactic Agents

Immunopotentiation with forphenicinol: increased resistance to Pseudomonas septicaemia in mice.

UMEZAWA et al. found that forphenicine, isolated from culture filtrates of Actinomycetes fulvoviridis var. acarbodicus is a specific inhibitor against chicken intestine alkaline phosphatase and it was shown to enhance delayed type hypersensitivity and antibody formation in mice1,2). Thereafter, ISHIZUKA et al. found that forphenicinol, a synthetic derivative of forphenicine, enhanced delayed ty...
