The 4th National Paediatric Physiotherapy Conference was held over three days in Melbourne from September 10 to 12, 2001. The Conference theme, ‘Old Issues – New Focus’, was chosen to reflect our desire to re-examine, in the light of new research, some of the major issues that confront paediatric physiotherapists in their clinical practice. Special multi-disciplinary symposia on ‘Measurement To...

Human plasma PAF-AH (platelet-activating factor-acetylhydrolase) is a Ca(2)+-independent phospholipase A2 of hematopoietic origin associated with LDL and HDL; it degrades PAF and oxidizes phospholipids. We show that human macrophages synthesize PAF-AH as a premedial Golgi precursor containing high mannose N-linked glycans. Secreted PAF-AH possesses a molecular mass of approximately 55 kDa and c...

AIM To describe our experience with alveolar hemorrhage (AH) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS Review of medical records and pertinent medical literature using MEDLINE and reference lists from retrieved publications. PATIENTS Seven patients with SLE admitted with episodes of AH (n = 11). RESULTS Six patients were female, and one was male. Mean age at the time of AH was 31.1 y...

BACKGROUND/AIM Adenoid hypertrophy (AH) is chronic enlargement of the adenoid tissue. The pathophysiology of the disease is unclear. We analyzed SCGB1D4 gene polymorphisms in order to determine the effect of the variants or their genetic combinations on AH. MATERIALS AND METHODS We genotyped the SCGB1D4 (IIS) gene in 167 participants (95 children with AH and 72 controls) by performing DNA seq...

Two calcified objects recovered from a 3rd to 4th-century grave of an adolescent in Amiens (Northern France) were identified as probable hydatid cysts. By using thin-section petrographic techniques, probable Calodium hepaticum (syn. Capillaria hepatica) eggs were identified in the wall of the cysts. Human hepatic capillariosis has not been reported from archaeological material so far, but could...
