dextrose/atrophy

Oral intake of an elemental diet maintains small intestinal mucosal mass compared to the atrophy seen after intravenous infusion of the same diet. The greatest difference in intestinal mass occurs in the proximal bowel and is thought to occur because of rapid absorption in the proximal small bowel.

A single intrapulmonary injection of 3.8% trisodium citrate and acid-citrate-dextrose (ACD) into rabbits results in extensive degeneration and necrosis of alveolar pneumocytes, including the type II pneumocyte, and of bronchiolar or bronchial epithelial cells. Subsequently, the alveoli and alveolar

Propofol infusion syndrome is a recognized complication of prolonged propofol use in the pediatric population, but little is reported on other metabolic effects of propofol, especially in children with mitochondrial disorders. We report on a child with metabolic encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and

The effects of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) on some nutritional variables were prospectively investigated in 12 severely cachectic patients with advanced cancer. The following variables were determined before and at 5-day intervals during the 20-day administration of TPN: anthropometric indices

We present a study on the control and elimination of the fungi affecting the mummies specifically at the museum "El Carmen", in San Angel, Mexico City. Twelve analysed mummies presented an important deterioration attributed to colonizing fungi. The degree of fungal contamination and the efficacy of

The practice of freezing food is one of the main processes used by the industry to prolong the shelf life of foods. Its use has expanded in recent years due to the increased consumption of convenience products, many of which are sold in frozen form. The temperature at which these foods are

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic neuromuscular disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy. We report a case of a 36-year-old man with SMA type 3 who presented to our emergency department with epigastric pain and vomiting. He was found to have severe ketoacidosis on

BACKGROUND In neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) new vessels grow under the retina distorting vision and leading to scarring. This is exacerbated if the blood vessels leak. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been investigated as a way to treat the neovascular membranes without affecting

It is not advisable to enter into a discussion of these findings at the present time, owing to the lack of experimental evidence as to the exact nature of the vacuoles. Regardless of the nature of these bodies or of what factors produce them, they are structures abnormal to the connective tissue

The chemical and visual stability of amphotericin B in 5% dextrose injection under refrigeration was assessed. Three admixtures of amphotericin B 0.1 mg/mL in 5% dextrose injection and three admixtures of amphotericin B 0.25 mg/mL in 5% dextrose injection were aseptically prepared in polyvinyl

The stability of amphotericin B 5 mg/mL in 5% dextrose ophthalmic solution prepared by the Hospital Pharmacy Service was studied in different conditions of storage and use. Admixtures of amphotericin B were aseptically prepared in low-density polyethylene dropper bottles. The stability of

Intestinal atrophy was induced in rats by infusion of 5% dextrose for 7 days with only oral water allowed. Compared with control animals fed standard rat chow (Purina Mills, St. Louis), the starved animals lost 30.5% of their initial body weight, 34.7% mucosal wet weight, 68.3% mucosal nitrogen

BACKGROUND In neovascular age-related macular degeneration, new vessels grow under the retina, distorting vision and leading to scarring. This is further exacerbated if the blood vessels leak. Photodynamic therapy, originally used in cancer treatment, has been investigated as a way to treat the

The metabolic syndrome has recently been recognized as a risk factor for kidney disease, but the mechanisms mediating this risk remain unclear. High fructose consumption by animals produces a model of the metabolic syndrome with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and insulin resistance. The present study
