Permanent catheter drainage system for palliation of diuretic‐resistant cardiac ascites

We report the case of a 69-year-old man with dilated cardiomyopathy treated with a permanent catheter drainage system for diuretic resistant cardiac ascites. At 1 year follow-up, the patient had no heart failure related hospitalisations, displayed improved quality of life measures and had incurred no complications related to the catheter. Permanent tunnelled catheters are widely used to treat m...

Establishment of the TA3 and Ehrlich ascites tumors as permanent cell strains in tissue culture.

Two mouse ascites tumors, the Ehrlich carcinonm and the TM nmmniary carcinoma, have been established as permanent cell strains in tissue culture. Both cell strains have been carried by serial subcultivation through more than 60 passages during a 15-month period. The cell lines have been established and propagated in synthetic medium M 150, supplemented with a low level of calf serum. When inocu...

Studies of tissue permeability. I. The penetration of sugars into the Ehrlich ascites tumor cells.

Recent studies of carbohydrate metabolism have focused attention on the process of penetration of sugars into mammalian cells as a possible point of action of insulin (1). It would be of decided advantage in an investigation of t,his problem if one could work with a preparation consisting of single cells. A good deal is known about the penetration of sugars into erythrocytes (2), but so far an ...
