Vitamin K1 is the first-line therapy to brodifacoum poisoning. Anaphylactoid reactions may occur anytime during intravenous administration of vitamin K1 injection. Vitamin K1 must be ceased when anaphylactoid reactions emerge, and therapeutic plasma exchange could be a second-line option.

Let S(R) be an o-minimal structure over R, T ⊂ Rk1+k2+l a closed definable set, and π1 : R k1+k2+l → R12 , π2 : R k1+k2+l → R, π3 : R k1+k2 → R2 the projection maps as depicted below.

Wall, Susan M., Pramod Mehta, and Thomas D. DuBose, Jr. Dietary K1 restriction upregulates total and Sch28080-sensitive bicarbonate absorption in rat tIMCD. Am. J. Physiol. 275 (Renal Physiol. 44): F543–F549, 1998.—In tubules from the terminal segment of the inner medullary collecting duct (tIMCD) from rats with chronic metabolic acidosis, our laboratory has shown that bicarbonate absorption (J...

Keratins K1 and K10 are the most abundant proteins in the upper epidermis where they polymerize to form intermediate filaments (IFs). In addition to their well-established function in providing epidermal stability, K1/K10 (i.e. the dimer between K1 and K10) IFs are supposed to be important for terminal epidermal differentiation and barrier formation. It was previously shown that the imbalanced ...

Waters, Christopher M., Karen M. Ridge, G. Sunio, K. Venetsanou, and Jacob Iasha Sznajder. Mechanical stretching of alveolar epithelial cells increases Na1-K1ATPase activity. J. Appl. Physiol. 87(2): 715–721, 1999.— Alveolar epithelial cells effect edema clearance by transporting Na1 and liquid out of the air spaces. Active Na1 transport by the basolaterally located Na1-K1-ATPase is an importan...

Differences in micronutrient status are reported to contribute to racial and ethnic differences in chronic diseases. Diseases related to vitamin K are reported to differ by race and ethnicity, but it is unclear if circulating vitamin K concentrations similarly differ. We examined racial and ethnic differences in serum phylloquionone (K1) in the Multiethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) (mean ...

Recently we have described the molecular cloning of the genetic determinant coding for the S-fimbrial adhesin (Sfa), a sialic acid-recognizing pilus frequently found among extraintestinal Escherichia coli isolates. Fimbriae from the resulting Sfa+ E. coli K-12 clone were isolated, and an Sfa-specific antiserum was prepared. Western blots indicate that S fimbriae isolated from different uropatho...

The study was conducted to report on the use of molecular biology methods and pregnancy outcome in women sensitized to either Rhesus D (RhD) or Kell 1 (K1) antigens. Paternal RhD genotype was determined by DNA amplification of an RhD-specific sequence from single sperm cells. Paternal Kell phenotype was determined by serologic assays using peripheral blood samples, and the fetal RhD or Kell-typ...

Sub-Saharan Africa is endemic for Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and there is a high rate of early childhood infection; however, the transmission sources are not well characterized. We examined household members as potential KSHV transmission sources to young children in the KSHV-endemic country of Zambia. To this end, we enrolled and followed Zambian households with at least on...
