A HIGH incidence of phosphate urinary calculi in sheep has been associated with the feeding of rations containing dibasic potassium phosphate (Lindley et al., 1953; Elam et al., 1956, 1957). Further, Lindley et al. (1953) observed elevated plasma phosphorus levels under these conditions. Emerick et al. (1959) observed high plasma phosphorus levels in lambs subsequently afflicted with urinary mi...

Preincubation of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs) with platelet-activating factor (PAF) for 3.5 h increased the adhesion rate of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) to PMVECs from 57.3% to 72.8% (p < 0.01). Preincubation of PMNs with PAF also increased PMN-PMVEC adhesion rate. All-trans retinoic acid (RA) blocked the adherence of untreated PMNs to PAF-pretreated PMVECs but not...

The world's 1,691 medical schools and 5,492 nursing schools are not producing enough graduates to cover the massive global deficit of doctors, nurses, and midwives, reports the World Health Organization (WHO).[1] One scaling-up initiative addressing these critical shortages is Cuba's Latin American Medical School (ELAM).

Noting the poorly known historical geography of Elamite coastal region Persian Gulf during first half millennium BCE, author proceeds to contribute new knowledge on topic by investigating toponym(s) Nagitu, an settlement that appears quite frequently in Neo-Assyrian sources with various postpositions: Nagitu-raqqi “island-in-the-marshes”, Nagitu-di’bina “coastal town-of-rocks”, or Nagitu-of-Ela...

AIMS/BACKGROUND Adhesion molecules play a key role in the selective recruitment of different leucocyte population to inflammatory sites. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the presence and distribution of adhesion molecules in the conjunctiva of patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC). METHODS The presence and distribution of adhesion molecules were studied in 14 conj...

PURPOSE To investigate the mechanisms by which chronic oxidative stress may lead to a sustained stress response similar to that previously observed in the trabecular meshwork (TM) of glaucoma donors. METHODS Porcine TM cells were treated with 200 microM H2O2 twice a day for four days and were allowed to recover for three additional days. After the treatment, TM cells were analyzed for generat...
