Severe myocardial dysfunction during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
(Elsevier, 1992-01)
Of the 102 neonates with respiratory fallure supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at this institution between 1984 and 1987, 8 patients developed severe myocardial dysfunction that was noted shortly ...
Incidence, presentation, diagnosis, and management of malfunctioning implantable cardioverter-defibrillator rate-sensing leads
(Elsevier, 1994-11)
Recognition of tachyarrhythmia by an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) requires an intact rate-sensing lead. We retrospectively examined 266 consecutive patients requiring an ICD to characterize the incidence, ...
A modified operation for Hirschsprung's disease: Posterior longitudinal anorectal split with a “heart-shaped” anastomosis
(Springer-Verlag, 1996-04)
A variety of complications can arise after the definitive pull-through operation for Hirschsprung's disease. Among these are constipation and soiling, which may be due to mismanagement of the internal anal sphincter. In ...
Duodenal gastrinomas, duodenotomy, and duodenal exploration in the surgical management of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
(Springer-Verlag; Springer International, 1993-07)
Studies have shown that the duodenum is a more common site (30–40%) of primary gastrinomas than previously reported. These tumors are often occult to conventional exploration, and their detection requires duodenotomy and ...
A continuous flow probe method for on‐line introduction of liquid samples for detection by laser desorption with resonant two‐photon ionization in supersonic beam mass spectrometry
(The American Institute of Physics, 1991-04)
A continuous flow probe is used as a direct inlet source for injection of liquid samples into a time‐of‐flight (TOF) mass spectrometer. The direct liquid inlet is coupled to laser desorption as a means of rapidly vaporizing ...
Clinical implications of the new biology in the development of melanoma vaccines
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-04)
There has been a resurgence in clinical research of vaccine therapies, particularly for the treatment of melanoma. The renewed interest in this field is attributable to an increased understanding regarding the immune ...
Constitutive activation of pp125fak in newly isolated human breast cancer cell lines
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1999-03)
Our laboratory has developed twelve human breast cancer cell lines from primary and metastatic sites. In this report we demonstrate that eight of eight breast cancer cell lines examined exhibit constitutively tyrosine ...
Pulmonary endothelial cell ATP depletion following intestinal ischemia
(Elsevier, 1992-06)
Multiple organ failure (MOF) is known to follow systemic inflammatory mediator activation associated with intestinal ischemia--reperfusion injury. In particular, the pulmonary microvasculature appears to be susceptible to ...
A Heparin-Coated Circuit Reduces Complement Activation and the Release of Leukocyte Inflammatory Mediators During Extracorporeal Circulation in a Rabbit
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1992-08)
Heparin coating modifies complement activation during extracorporeal circulation much more effcclively than systemically administered heparin. This rabbit study was undertaken to address possible mechanisms responsible for ...
