Temporal Association between Hampton's Hump Pulmonary Embolism and First-Dose ChAdOx1 nCov-19 Vaccine in a Patient with Activated Protein C Resistance.

A 58-year-old man presented to his practitioner with right-sided pleuritic chest pain, dyspnea, and fatigue 18 days following the first dose of the ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccine. Chest radiography showed a basal wedge-shaped consolidation indicative of a Hampton’s hump in the right lower lobe, which was confirmed by subsequent computed tomography pulmonary angiography. The major laboratory abnormalities were a markedly elevated D-dimer level of 7.

Brodimoprim: therapeutic efficacy and safety in the treatment of bacterial infections.

The clinical efficacy and safety of brodimoprim has been studied by numerous investigators. In the trials reviewed 2291 cases were entered. Of these 2214 were evaluable for efficacy and 2277 for safety.

Cell-cell interactions affect the accumulation of a cytokeratin-like protein during lens fiber development.

Extracellular matrix proteins were presented in culture to postmitotic, epithelial precursors of chick lens fiber cells as rigid, planar surfaces or malleable gels. Their ability to maintain and promote differentiated characteristics was judged by tritiated thymidine incorporation, immunologic detection of a cytokeratin-like protein (CP49) which accumulates during lens fiber development, and the formation of multicellular aggregates known as lentoids. Regardless of their composition, planar substrates stimulated the reentry into the cell cycle by promoting cell spreading.

Fleroxacin: in-vitro activity worldwide against 20,807 clinical isolates and comparison to ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin.

By June 1987 worldwide investigators from 37 centres in 12 countries had completed epidemiological susceptibility testing studies comparing the in-vitro activity of fleroxacin with that of ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin and other antibacterials. In this paper the results of these studies, expressed primarily as MIC90S, are reviewed and analysed for centre to centre variability. Twenty thousand eight hundred and seven strains were evaluable for comparative analysis.

[Color-coded Doppler sonography of the pelvis-leg arteries: an appraisal of the value of that method in comparison with angiography].

The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of colour-coded Doppler sonography (CDS) and its advantages as compared with angiography and pulsed Doppler sonography. For this purpose, the arteries in the pelvis, thigh and knee of 42 patients were examined by CDS, the gold standard being angiography. In ten patients, pulsed Doppler sonography was performed as well and the length of the examination compared with that of CDS.

[Angiodynography: technical principles and clinical uses].

Angiodynography is a newly developed system that enables Doppler sonography to be used to obtain a colour-coded real-time image of the blood vessels in the familiar ultrasound slice image. A new computerised technique allows both the familiar pulse echo signal and the Doppler shift of the signal resulting from movement in the body to be displayed for each point on the ultrasound slice plane. Stationary tissue structures are shown as the familiar grey scale image, while movement such as of the blood is shown in colour.

[Color-coded Doppler sonography of the carotid arteries].

Doppler colour flow imaging provides colour-coded visualisation of blood flow additional to the B-mode image. In this study, the carotid arteries of 92 patients were examined comparing duplex sonography with Doppler colour flow imaging. Efficiency of these methods was evaluated by angiography in 16 patients.

[Real-time sonography in the diagnosis and follow-up of malignant tongue tumors. I. Anatomic basis].

Normal structures of the tongue and floor of the mouth were studied using anatomic sections cut with a stainless steel band saw. The sections were performed on the same planes as used in US and CT scanning. The ultrasound studies were carried out with 20 young and healthy volunteers.
