Who would have thought it? An operation proves to be the most effective therapy for adult-onset diabetes mellitus.
(East Carolina University, 1995-09)
OBJECTIVE: This report documents that the gastric bypass operation provides long-term control for obesity and diabetes. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Obesity and diabetes, both notoriously resistant to medical therapy, continue ...
The Ripped Cava
(East Carolina University, 1995-04)
Lacerations of the inferior vena cava are associated with a high mortality and may be difficult to repair. The majority of injuries are due to penetrating trauma. Rapid transportation to definitive surgical care with ...
Gastrogastric fistulas. A complication of divided gastric bypass surgery.
(East Carolina University, 1995-04)
Objective
This report warns that gastrogastric fistulas may follow the division of the stomach in bariatric surgery.
Summary Background Data
Although surgery is the most effective therapy for morbid obesity, the ...
MCF-7 breast cancer cells transfected with protein kinase C-alpha exhibit altered expression of other protein kinase C isoforms and display a more aggressive neoplastic phenotype.
(East Carolina University, 1995-04)
Increased protein kinase C (PKC) activity in malignant breast tissue and positive correlations between PKC activity and expression of a more aggressive phenotype in breast cancer cell lines suggest a role for this signal ...
Neurogenic switching: a hypothesis for a mechanism for shifting the site of inflammation in allergy and chemical sensitivity.
(East Carolina University, 1995-01)
Neurogenic switching is proposed as a hypothesis for a mechanism by which a stimulus at one site can lead to inflammation at a distant site. Neurogenic inflammation occurs when substance P and other neuropeptides released ...
Phorbol esters induce death in MCF-7 breast cancer cells with altered expression of protein kinase C isoforms. Role for p53-independent induction of gadd-45 in initiating death.
(East Carolina University, 1995-10)
Protein kinase C (PKC) modulates growth, differentiation, and apoptosis in a cell-specific fashion. Overexpression of PKC-a in MCF-7 breast cancer cells (MCF-7-PKC-a cell) leads to expression of a more transformed phenotype. ...
Postvaccinial (influenza) disseminated encephalopathy (Brown-Sequard syndrome).
(East Carolina University, 1995-09)
This article reports a case of Brown-Sequard syndrome that occurred in a patient following the administration of trivalent influenza vaccine. The patient responded well to intravenous steroids and physical therapy. This ...
Clinical differences between pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis: a 5-year retrospective study.
(East Carolina University, 1995-03)
This article describes the clinical, epidemiologic, laboratory, and treatment characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) in Eastern North Carolina, a primarily rural area. The ...
Equilibration and Exchange of Fluorescently Labeled Molecules in Skeletal Muscle Fibers Studied Using Confocal Microscopy
(East Carolina University, 1995-04)
Diffusion of molecules into skinned muscle fibers is often necessary when studying muscle contraction and its regulation. Usually, it is assumed that diffusion of molecules is fast also in the structured system of a muscle ...
Characterization of the avian GLUT1 glucose transporter: differential regulation of GLUT1 and GLUT3 in chicken embryo fibroblasts.
(East Carolina University, 1995-11)
Vertebrate cells that are transformed by oncogenes such as v-src or are stimulated by mitogens have increased rates of glucose uptake. In rodent cels, the mechanisms whereby glucose transport is up-regulated are well ...
