Grazing preferences of three species of amoebae on cyanobacteria and green algae.

Twenty species/isolates of cyanobacteria and green algae were isolated from cyanobacterial bloom samples in lakes associated with the upper Qu'Appelle River drainage system in southern Saskatchewan, Canada. Three amoebae species (Cochliopodium sp., Vannella sp.

Oxytetracycline concentrations in interstitial fluid from tissue chambers inoculated with after intramuscular or intrachamber administration in sheep.

Objective: To determine oxytetracycline concentrations in plasma and in fluid from (CPT)-inoculated tissue chambers (used as experimental abscess models) and uninoculated (control) tissue chambers in sheep after IM or local administration of the drug and to investigate whether CPT growth was reduced or eliminated by these treatments.

Animals: 10 clinically normal female sheep.

Procedures: Sterile tissue chambers were surgically implanted in both paralumbar fossae of each sheep; ≥ 2 weeks later (day -6), 1 randomly selected chamber was inoculated with CPT, and the opposite chamber was injected with sterile growth medium.

Position of Mandibular Condyles during Stabilization Splint Wearing.

The purpose of this study was to determine the position of mandibular condyles during wearing of stabilization splints with different thickness. Two stabilization splints were made for 10 completely dentate participants. First splint was made with minimal 1 mm distance at molar area between the upper and lower teeth, while the second splint was made 3 mm higher than the first splint.

Long-term outcome in stroke patients treated with IV thrombolysis.

Objectives: Data on long-term outcome after IV thrombolysis (IVT) are sparse. Our goals were to 1) estimate annual survival, and 2) evaluate determinants for an unfavorable long-term outcome after IVT for stroke.

Methods: This observational study is based on the IVT registry of the University Hospital Basel.
