We study meson resonances with quantum numbers JP = 1+ in terms of the chiral SU(3) Lagrangian. At leading order a parameter-free prediction is obtained for the scattering of Goldstone bosons off vector mesons with JP = 1− once we insist on approximate crossing symmetry of the unitarized scattering amplitude. A resonance spectrum arises that is remarkably close to the empirical pattern. In part...

We present a 2-year old boy with accidental ingestion of a tricyclic antidepressant and outline the clinical features, management and prevention. Despite ingesting a high dose of amitriptyline (20mg/kg) and showing serum levels above the toxic range (1380 ng/ml), our patient did not develop any life threatening complications. Gastric lavage followed by instillation of activated charcoal, repeat...

Several studies have shown that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) ameliorates renal interstitial fibrosis, but the mechanism is not fully clear. This study was designed to examine whether HGF can relieve renal interstitial injury in 5/6 nephrectomized rats, and to confirm whether this function was associated with decrease in alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) and transforming growth factor-beta...
