Thromboelastometry (Tem) in Pregnant Women: Basal Tem Profile and Tem Profile after Carbetocin Administration in Women at High Risk for Post-Partum Haemorrhage

Carbetocin versus oxytocin in caesarean section with high risk of post-partum haemorrhage.

OBJECTIVES the aims of the present study were to compare the haemodynamic effects of oxytocin and carbetocin and to assess the efficacy of these two drugs in terms of blood loss and the additional uterotonic needed in caesarean section at high risk of primary post-partum haemorrhage. METHODS women in the carbetocin group (group A) received a bolus of 100 μg IV; women in the control group (gro...

Etymologia: TEM

The structural bases of antibiotic resistance in the clinically derived mutant beta-lactamases TEM-30, TEM-32, and TEM-34.

Widespread use of beta-lactam antibiotics has promoted the evolution of beta-lactamase mutant enzymes that can hydrolyze ever newer classes of these drugs. Among the most pernicious mutants are the inhibitor-resistant TEM beta-lactamases (IRTs), which elude mechanism-based inhibitors, such as clavulanate. Despite much research on these IRTs, little is known about the structural bases of their a...

Development of TEM Holder Generating In-Plane Magnetic Field Used for In-Situ TEM Observation

For easy performance of Lorentz microscopy with simultaneous electric measurements, a special specimen holder for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been developed that has electromagnets to generate magnetic field and four leads for electric measurements. This TEM holder was evaluated by checking experimental results of permalloy (Ni0.8Fe0.2) patterns. Clear observations of domain wall...

Evolution of TEM-type enzymes: biochemical and genetic characterization of two new complex mutant TEM enzymes, TEM-151 and TEM-152, from a single patient.

Two clinical isolates of Escherichia coli, CF1179 and CF1295, were isolated from a patient hospitalized in the hematology unit of the University Hospital of Clermont-Ferrand, Clermont-Ferrand, France. They were resistant to penicillin-clavulanate combinations and to ceftazidime. The double-disk synergy test was positive only for isolate CF1179. Molecular comparison of the isolates showed that t...
