amylase/fever

Genomic DNA fragments encoding a salivary gland-specific alpha-amylase gene, Amylase I (Amy I), and an additional amylase, Amylase II (AmyII) of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, were isolated and characterized. Two independently isolated DNA fragments, G34-F and G34-14A, encode polymorphic

BACKGROUND Many cases of acute human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (AHI) present to the Emergency Department (ED). Early diagnosis allows a patient to modify their behavior and seek early treatment. The Emergency Physician should know that the antibody response may be absent. OBJECTIVE We

OBJECTIVE To study the adverse reactions and therapeutic effects of fluoroquinolones to investigate whether they can be used for the treatment of patients with typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever. METHODS The adverse reactions and therapeutic effects of fluoroquinolones were studied retrospectively

Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (SFTS) is associated with high mortality rate, for which antiviral therapy with ribavirin was recommended. Based on our previous study, no visible effect of ribavirin therapy in improving clinical outcome was observed. Here we have accumulated the sample

BACKGROUND [corrected] Recent studies indicate that hyperthermia can change inflammatory mechanisms and protect experimental animals from deleterious effects of secretagogue-induced acute pancreatitis OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of hyperthermia post-treatment on cerulein-induced acute

A 66-year-old woman with a 7-year history of Parkinsons' disease was admitted to our hospital because of a high fever and disturbance of consciousness. She had been treated with levodopa/benserazide hydrochloride and trihexyphenidyl hydrochloride until admission. On admission, the patient was

BACKGROUND Limited data are available on the incidence and characteristics of culture-negative fever following pancreas transplantation (PTx) with anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) induction. Our study aims to better define the features of culture-negative fever, so it can be delineated from infectious

Twenty-eight cases with non-resectable hepatocellular carcinoma were examined. Chemoembolization using degradable starch microspheres (DSM) was performed in 19 cases. DSM, 40-45 micron in diameter, which are degraded by serum amylase, temporarily obstruct arterial blood flow at capillary bed.

A case of acute necrotizing pancreatitis in association with choledochal cyst is presented. Pancreatitis associated with choledochal cyst is probably caused by a biliary reflux into the pancreatic duct via a pancreatobiliary malunion, as the intraductal pressure of the cyst exceeds that of the

Serum amylase (AMY) and gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) are routine clinical markers for investigating pancreatic and hepatobiliary disorders, respectively, but are also increased in systemic deterioration following critical trauma and diseases. The present study investigated the postmortem levels

To evaluate if an energy-dense porridge liquefied by amylase-rich flour (ARF) from germinated wheat increased the calorie intake in children with acute shigellosis, we studied 66 children, aged 6-35 months, in a randomized, controlled clinical trial. Children were randomized to receive either an
