The purpose of this study was to compare hemodynamic and blood analyte responses to reduced central venous pressure (CVP) and pulse pressure (PP) elicited during graded lower body negative pressure (LBNP) to those observed during graded blood loss (BL) in conscious humans. We hypothesized that the stimulus-response relationships of CVP and PP to hemodynamic responses during LBNP would mimic tho...

This study addresses the transport mechanism of riboflavin (vitamin B(2)) across intestinal epithelium in the presence and absence of pharmacologically active compounds. A polarized transport process with a 6-fold higher basolateral (BL)-to-apical (AP) flux was observed in both a human intestinal cell model (Caco-2) and rat intestinal tissue. Riboflavin-specific translocation systems on both th...

treated × 6 months) were included. Whole blood VL was determined by real-time PCR at a central laboratory before therapy (baseline, BL) and periodically for 6 months. Results. In subjects treated for 6 months, increases in BL VL correlated with decreased probability of better hearing outcomes at 12 months (Figure 1), but clinically meaningful VL thresholds that predict SNHL were not identified ...

Transfection of an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded plasmid containing EBER caused a substantial decrease in the level of plasmid containing EBV in Akata and Mutu Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) lines, but failed to do so in other BL lines. The results suggest that EBER could replace the role of EBV, but other EBV products also play a role in the growth of BL.

Sporadic Burkitt's Lymphoma (BL) is a highly aggressive form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma which requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. Though usual presentation involves abdominal lymphadenopathy with possible solid organ involvement, sporadic BL can rarely present with peritoneal lymphomatosis. We present a unique case with rapid evolution of BL presenting as peritoneal and omental lymphomatosi...
