Preoperative splenic artery embolization for massive splenomegaly has been shown to reduce intraoperative hemorrhage during splenectomy. We describe a case of tumor lysis syndrome after proximal splenic artery embolization in a patient with advanced mantle cell lymphoma and splenic involvement. The patient presented initially with hyperkalemia two days after embolization that worsened during sp...

Significant shortcomings in clinical thrombolysis efficiencies and arterial recanalization rates still exist to date necessitating the development of additional thrombolysis-enhancing technologies. For example, to improve tPA-induced systemic clot lysis several supplementary treatment methods have been proposed, among them ultrasound-enhanced tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) thrombolysis whic...

We have developed a mixture of enzymes and chemicals that completely lyse cyanobacteria. Since the treatment involves only readily-available chemicals and simple proteins that degrade the components of the cyanobacterial cell wall, it can easily be used in high-throughput applications requiring lysis for subsequent intracellular measurements. Our lysis technique consistently enables complete ly...

Efficient lysis is critical when analyzing single cells in microfluidic droplets, but existing methods utilize detergents that can interfere with the assays to be performed. We demonstrate robust cell lysis without the use of detergents or other chemicals. In our method, cells are exposed to electric field immediately before encapsulation in droplets, resulting in cell lysis. We characterize ly...

Observations were made on cultures obtained from three different sources: one (C) maintained for many years in this laboratory, another (4698) received from the American Type Culture Collection, and a third (F) received recently from Dr. Fleming. To our knowledge all derive from the original organism isolated by Fleming (1922). For purposes of convenience each will be designated as a separate "...

Neutrophils mediate the lysis of human neuroblastoma cells coated with human/mouse chimeric anti-GD2 ganglioside antibody ch14.18. This study examined the mechanism(s) by which this occurs. Neutrophil degranulation was found to be a required step for lysis, since release of granular enzymes from neutrophils correlated with the lysis of antibody-coated neuroblastoma cells. In addition, agents wh...

Antibody-mediated C-dependent lysis of cell lines infected with herpes simplex type 1 virus, influenza A degrees virus, measles virus, and mumps virus occurred by the alternative C pathway with the participation of IgG antibodies. Lysis occurred only with immune human sera, Mg++ EGTA immune sera, and immune sera depleted of C4 or treated with Fab anti-C4. Lysis did not occur with nonimmune sera...

Progressive growth of the P815 mastocytoma as an ascites in either normal or immunodepressed, semisyngeneic B6D2F1 mice resulted in the outgrowth of tumor cells resistant to lysis in vitro by tumor-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs). Additional testing in vitro showed that late ascites tumor cells also developed a progressive decline in susceptibility to lysis by alloreactive CTLs. The dec...

To determine the effect that ATTRACT trial had on total number of patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) who were treated mechanical thrombectomy or lysis. Furthermore, given emergence several new devices change in relative percentage lysis and was also evaluated. The "Medicare Provider Utilization Payment Data" database utilized to find all underwent for vein (DVT). released 2017 this reas...
