Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to establish epidemiological cut-off values for the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 10 antimicrobial agents against the bacteria Vibrio parahaemolyticus using standardized testing methods.
  • Eight laboratories conducted broth microdilution tests at two different temperatures (35°C and 28°C) to assess the effect of incubation temperature on MIC values, finding that many values were consistent across both temperatures.
  • The generated data will be submitted to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute to help set international standards for interpreting antimicrobial susceptibility tests for this species.

Here, we describe the skin mucosa microbiome of channel catfish () before and after exposure to chloramine-T trihydrate. We also describe the aquaria water microbiome after the post-treatment period. These data provide a unique baseline description of skin mucosa and aquaria water microbiome from catfish reared in research aquaria.

Autologous Transplantation of hematopoietic tissue with frozen hematopoietic stem cells is increasingly used for leukemias and lymphomas, but also for some solid tumors. In the past, autotransplants have been performed with bone marrow as the source of hematopoietic stem cells. Circulating, blood derived hematopoietic stem cells, however, allow safe engraftment of all cell lines after supralethal chemo-radiotherapy.

The side effects of a beta 2-mimetic tocolytic therapy are of importance for anaesthesiologists who administer anaesthesia for obstetric operations, as our case report illustrates. In a healthy 28 year old pregnant woman during the 32nd week of pregnancy i.v.

Attention is drawn to the importance of long-term thymoleptic treatment by describing the progress of 39 patients who were continually adjusted to a thymoleptic maintenance dose for a mean duration of two years following a depressive reaction. Apart from having a direct thymoleptic effect on insufficiency phenomena lasting longer than particular phases this led to the conclusion that treatment should be related strictly to phase due to the particular proneness of such patients to relapse during postdepressive insufficiency syndromes. Special mention is made of typological features characterising the course of depressive reactions.

The posterior hypothalamus of cats anaesthetized with pentobarbital sodium was superfused and electrically stimulated with a push-pull cannula. Superfusion of the hypothalamus with (+/-)-, (-)-propranolol, sotalol, practolol or metoprolol caused a concentration-dependent inhibiton of the pressor response to hypothalamic stimulation. (+/-)-Propranolol and a procaine concentration equi-anaesthetic to the concentration of (+/-)- and (-)-propranolol were ineffective.

In cats anaesthetized with pentobarbital sodium, the posterior hypothalamus was superfused and electrically stimulated with a push-pull cannula. The pressor response to stimulation of this hypothalamic area was inhibited when the hypothalamus was superfused with drugs blocking either alpha-adrenoreceptors (piperoxan, tolazoline), or beta-adrenoreceptors--(+/-)-propranolol, (-)-propranolol, practolol, sotalol, metoprolol. (+)-Propranolol and a concentration of procaine equianaesthetic to propranolol were ineffective.
