BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is common in deceased kidney donors and is considered a relative contraindication to donation. The significance of donor DIC on recipient kidney function is poorly understood. Additionally, the significance of thrombocytopenia in recipients of kidneys from DIC-positive donors is understudied. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS,...

Listeria monocytogenes strain H7762, a frankfurter isolate, was tested to determine whether it was able to survive at 4 degrees C in frankfurter pack fluid (exudate) and to determine whether food exposure affects its acid sensitivity. Cultures were sampled and tested for acid sensitivity by challenge with simulated gastric fluid (SGF). SGF challenges performed immediately after inoculation reve...

Sarcoma growth factor (SGF) induces proliferation and an chorage-independent growth of nonmalignant cells. It competes with epidermal growth factor (EGF) for the EGF-receptors at the cell surface. SGF-like factors have recently been isolated from embryos, suggesting that SGFs may represent embryonic forms of EGF. Therefore, we have tested whether SGF preparations affect organogénesis and diffe...

Sarcoma growth factor (SGF) induces proliferation and anchorage-independent growth of nonmalignant cells. It competes with epidermal growth factor (EGF) for the EGF-receptors at the cell surface. SGF-like factors have recently been isolated from embryos, suggesting that SGFs may represent embryonic forms of EGF. Therefore, we have tested whether SGF preparations affect organogenesis and differe...

Membrane components that interact with epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factors (TGFs) have been identified by covalent crosslinking to their respective 125I-labeled ligands. Under appropriate conditions, disuccinimidyl suberate or hydroxysuccinimidyl p-azidobenzoate cross-link receptor-bound 125I-labeled EGF to a 140- to 170-kilodalton (kDal) receptor species in membranes ...

Splenogonadal fusion (SGF) is a rare congenital abnormality that affects children of both genders. Very few cases of SGF have been diagnosed preoperatively. In this study, the surgical findings and laparoscopic treatment of four children with SGF associated with intra-abdominal cryptorchidism are described. Laparoscopy was demonstrated to be the only accurate exploratory procedure for the diagn...

Angket di berikan kepada 3 kelas IX SMP yang telah mengoperasikan SGF. keabsahan dilakukan mendalam terhadap siswa. Data dianalisis mereduksi pada t...

BACKGROUND Echolucent carotid plaques have been related to an increased risk of ischemic cerebrovascular events. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether a new objective ultrasonographic parameter, the statistical geometric feature (SGF), reflecting spottiness of carotid plaques, can be associated with cerebrovascular symptoms and with a rupture-prone plaque phenotype. METHODS The...

There is no definitive method to determine if a novel food protein will become an allergen. For this reason, the allergenic risk of a novel food protein is currently evaluated using a weight-of-evidence (WOE) approach. The components of this WOE approach were arrived at based on expert opinion rather than evidential science. Digestive stability is considered a physiochemical property of food al...
