Address correspondence to: Raúl H. Morales-Borges, MD, Ashford Institute of Hematology & Oncology, 29 Washington Street, Suite #107, San Juan, PR 009071509. E-mail address: [email protected] splenic infarction is rare and the prothrombin gene mutation (pGM) is not commonly observed in puerto rico. pGM is present in 1% of the general population, and in 7% of the people with deep venous thrombosis (DVt); it is found in up to 40% of patients with splenic-portal-mesenteric thrombosis. our study has identified a puerto rican family of four generations whose members all have inherited pGM in an autosomal dominant manner. the eldest member of the family, an 82-year-old male, presented with DVt of the lower extremity. the man’s 62-year-old daughter had suffered a splenic infarction; his 37-year-old grandson presented with superficial and deep vein thrombosis (sDVt), and his great-grandson of 8 years was asymptomatic at the time of the report. this is the second report of pGM as the cause of a hypercoagulable state and the first reported pGM-related splenic infarction in puerto rico. We need to test for genetic hypercoagulable states in the members of puerto rican families with thromboembolism. once testing has revealed the existence of such states in a given family, it is important that the family members receive genetic counseling.

Comparative activities of TR-700 (torezolid) against staphylococcal blood isolates collected in Spain.
The in vitro activity of TR-700 (torezolid) was evaluated against a collection of 660 staphylococcal blood isolates. TR-700 showed excellent activity against all the staphylococci tested. The MIC(50) and MIC(90) values of TR-700, linezolid, daptomycin, and vancomycin against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates were 0.25 and 0.5, 2 and 4, 0.5 and 0.5, and 1 and 2 microg/m...

متن کاملThe basis of the physical Hilbert space of lattice gauge theories
Non-linear Fourier analysis on compact groups is used to construct an orthonormal basis of the physical (gauge invariant) Hilbert space of Hamiltonian lattice gauge theories. In particular, the matrix elements of the Hamiltonian operator involved are explicitly computed. Finally, some applications and possible developments of the formalism are discussed.
