OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcomes of arthrocentesis with the new highly controllable, one handed reciprocating procedure syringe compared with a conventional syringe. METHODS 100 arthrocentesis procedures were randomised between the reciprocating syringe and the conventional syringe. Outcome measures included patient pain, procedure duration, operator satisfaction, synovial fluid volume, cel...

A new prenylated naphthoquinone dimer named microphyllaquinone (1), a mixture of 6-methoxy- and 7-methoxy-naphtho[2,3-b]-furan-4,9-quinones (2a/2b) and tecomaquinone I (3), were isolated from roots of Lippia microphylla. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including detailed 1D and 2D (COSY, NOESY, HMQC, HMBC) NMR data. Unpublished 13C NMR data of 2a and 2b are reported. Th...

The extracts of several plants of Central Chile exhibited anti-Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes activity. Most active extracts were those obtained from Podanthus ovatifolius, Berberis microphylla, Kageneckia oblonga, and Drimys winteri. The active extract of Drimys winteri (IC50 51.2 microg/mL) was purified and three drimane sesquiterpenes were obtained: polygodial, drimenol, and isodrimenin. ...

pyruvate spectrum acquired prior to imaging. Figure 1: (a) The C pyruvate peak image. (b) The water image showing the 3 syringe phantom. Syringe 1 contained tap water, syringe 2 contained hyperpolarized pyruvate, and syringe 3 contained 3.27M urea at thermal equilibrium and 5 mM gadodiamide and therefore has signal enhancement. (c) Carbon spectra from the pyruvate syringe and (d) carbon spectra...
