Allogeneic and Autologous Melanoma Vaccines: Where have we been and where are we going?
(2006-04)
The past three decades have seen substantial research on vaccines for the treatment of metastatic melanoma and the prevention of recurrence following resection. Despite their enormous promise, the actual results have been ...
Bombesin-Stimulated Acetylcholine Release from Myenteric Plexus Neurons
(Elsevier, 1993-05)
The ability of bombesin to stimulate acetylcholine release from guinea pig myenteric plexus neurons was studied using a primary neuronal culture system. Bombesin caused dose-dependent increases in [3H]acetylcholine (ACh) ...
Absence of complement-mediated events after protamine reversal of heparin anticoagulation
(Elsevier, 1991-07)
Protamine reversal of heparin anticoagulation is associated with adverse hemodynamic effects that may be attenuated with protamine pretreatment (PP). This study assesses the role of complement activation during these ...
The challenge of the middle mediastinal parathyroid
(Springer-Verlag; The Société Internationale de Chirurgie, 1988-12)
In most cases of persistent or recurrent hyperparathyroidism (HPT), the pathological parathyroid (PT) will be in the neck or accessible through the cervical approach, and in only a small percentage will median sternotomy ...
Prevalence of diffuse pancreatic beta islet cell disease with hyperinsulinism: Problems in recognition and management
(Springer-Verlag; Springer International, 1984-08)
Among 77 patients with endogenous hyperinsulinism seen in 2 medical centers, diffuse islet cell disease accounted for 17 (22%) patients. Since diffuse islet cell disease poses special problems in management, its prevalence ...
Complement depletion and persistent hemodynamic-hematologic responses in protamine-heparin reactions
(Elsevier, 1988-09)
Hypotension, bradycardia, pulmonary artery hypertension, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia have been suspected to be due to complement activation following protamine reversal of heparin. This investigation examined these ...
