The treatment of these diseases is most commonly surgical and is less frequently performed on an out-patient basis. Emergency cases are very … Preberite več >>

Recently, the principal etiological agent of parenterally transmitted non–A, non–B hepatitis was molecularly cloned from the plasma of an experimentally infected chimpanzee. It was named hepatitis C virus (HCV). The first diagnostic test for the detection of infection was a radioimmunoassay based upon the first generated HCV protein (C100-3). This was soon put into an immunoassay format and in late … Preberite več >>

With the introduction of computer technology in science in the past decade, enzyme kinetics acquired entirely new dimensions. The greatest progress was made in the field of acquisition and subsequent analysis of kinetic data, which largely improved the effectiveness of rapid kinetic equipment. This paper presents the principles of modern kinetic analysis, including major rapid experimental techniques, data acquisition and … Preberite več >>

Forty-six Shigella sonnei strains were tested for their susceptibility to seven different antimicrobials. The strains were isolated during an epidemics of shigellosis in Slovenia in 1990. Using the diffusion method, we found that no strain was sensitive to all the antimicrobials tested. The strains differed significantly as concerns their drug sensitivity. The results stressed the necessity of testing each isolated … Preberite več >>

The author describes in detail the assessment of left ventricular function. After a brief introduction and presentation of the physiological basis of left ventricular systolic function, he divides indices of this function into three groups, as follows: haemodynamic parameters, indices of pre-ejaction and ejaction period, and indices of pulsatile blood flow in the ascending aorta. Various methods for assessing left … Preberite več >>

Vascular stent prosthesis is a specially designed metal coil or mesh which supports the inner vascular wall, thus providing normal blood flow. The objective of the study was three-fold: to evaluate clinical results of intravascular implantation, to establish the frequency of early and late complications, and to determine the measures which should be taken to prevent those complications, and to … Preberite več >>
