Campylobacter cinaedi is normal intestinal flora in hamsters (1989)

During the course of studies to reproduce proliferative enteritis in hamsters, Campylobacter cinaedi was recovered from the feces of the majority of healthy hamsters obtained from two commercial sources. The organisms were cultured by using filtration, a nonselective medium, and a microaerophilic atmosphere containing hydrogen. Isolation was hindered by the fastidious nature of C. cinaedi and by the presence of other Campylobacter species in the hamster intestine. All hamster C. cinaedi isolates were phenotypically similar to C. cinaedi ATCC 35683. Comparison of whole-cell protein profiles of one hamster isolate with a reference strain of C. cinaedi by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting with C. cinaedi-specific rabbit antiserum supported the phenotypic identification of these isolates. Hamsters may be an animal reservoir for human C. cinaedi infections.
Photodynamic action on some pathogenic microorganisms of oral cavity (2001)

We have studied photodynamic action of He-Ne laser radiation on cultures of Staphylococcus (strain 209 P), Streptococcus anhaemolyticus, and total microflora of dental deposit been sensitized by methylene blue. The concentration of the dye was varied from 0.001% to 0.1%, radiation power density was 100 divided by 2300 mW/cm<SUP>2</SUP>. Irradiated strain was put into thermostat for 48 hours and the number of colonies was counted and analyzed.
Drug and Vaccine Development for the Treatment and Prevention of Urinary Tract Infections (2016)

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are one of the most common bacterial infections, with roughly eleven-million cases reported in the U.S. each year that cost an estimated $5 billion annually (1, 2). More than one in every two women will experience at least one UTI in her lifetime, and nearly one in three women will have received antibiotic treatment for a UTI before age 24 (3, 4). The clinical manifestations of symptomatic UTI include infection-induced inflammation of the urethra (urethritis), urinary bladder (cystitis), and kidneys (pyelonephritis) and are diagnosed by the presence of high levels of bacteria in the urine (bacteriuria) with concomitant symptoms. Symptoms of cystitis include frequent urination, burning sensation and pain during urination (dysuria), suprapubic pain and/or lower abdominal discomfort, and cloudy and/or bloody, foul-smelling urine. Symptoms of pyelonephritis include the presence of bacteriuria and pyuria (white blood cells in the urine) that is accompanied by flank pain and fever, but may or may not include other symptoms of cystitis. The vast majority of UTI manifest as cystitis and urethritis, affecting primarily the lower urinary tract, but this can potentially lead to bacterial ascension to the kidneys and pyelonephritis, particularly in pregnant women, diabetics, and children with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) (5, 6). As a result, renal scarring and loss of function is a potentially serious complication of any UTI, particularly in infants, where diagnosis of UTI may be delayed.
Administration Of Hepatitis A Vaccine To A Military Population By Needle And (1995)

Military personnel are an important target population for hepatitis A immunization. Soldiers are often given vaccines by jet injector and may be required to receive multiple vaccines at one time. Formalin-inactivated hepatitis A vaccine containing 360 ELISA units of antigen was evaluated at Fort Campbell. Volunteers received vaccine at 0, 1, and 6 months as follows: group 1, hepatitis A vaccine by needle; group 2, hepatitis A vaccine by jet injector; group 3, hepatitis B vaccine by needle; and group 4, both hepatitis vaccines by needle in separate arms. Immune response and reactogenicity were evaluated. After two doses, recipients of vaccine administered by jet injector had a higher prevalence of antibody than those who received vaccine by needle (93% vs. 79%). By the 8th month, the vaccine was 100% immunogenic by either route or with hepatitis B vaccine. No interaction between hepatitis A and B vaccines was detected.
McArdle's disease presenting with asymmetric, late-onset arm weakness (2000)

McArdle's disease or myophosphorylase deficiency is one of the most common muscle glycogenoses and typically presents in childhood or adolescence with exercise intolerance, myalgia, myoglobinuria, and cramps in exercising muscle. We describe an elderly man who developed asymmetric proximal arm weakness at age 73. He had no history of exercise-induced cramps, myalgias, or myoglobinuria. Creatine kinase levels were elevated, serum lactate did not rise on ischemic exercise testing, and muscle biopsy showed a vacuolar myopathy with absent myophosphorylase activity. This unusual case demonstrates that McArdle's disease may present with fixed, asymmetric proximal weakness at an advanced age and should be considered in this clinical setting, especially when a history of poor exercise tolerance can be elicited.
Waring, Colonel George Edwin, 1893 August 11 (1893)

34, De Vere Gardens. W.; recorded on UVA reels as 1895, but the top stroke of the 5 actually appears to be the end of a flourish under James' name; Jobe has the letter dated as 1893, which seems likely based on James' handwritten date as well as in terms of his letterheads and location
Optical Investigations of the Abnormal Combustion in a Boosted Spark-ignition PFI Engine (2009)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">The flame front propagation in normal and abnormal combustion was investigated. Cycle-resolved flame emission imaging was applied in the combustion chamber of a port fuel injection boosted spark ignition engine. The engine was fuelled with a mixture of 90% iso-octane and 10% n-heptane by volume (PRF90). The effect of fuel injection phasing was studied. The combustion process was followed from the flame kernel formation until the opening of the exhaust valves. Different phenomena correlated to the abnormal combustion were analysed. Detailed information on ignition surfaces, end-gas auto-ignitions and knock were obtained. The appearance of autoignition centres in the end gas was evaluated in terms of timing, location and frequency of occurrence.</div>
Visible‐Light‐Induced Photoreductive Generation of Radicals from Epoxides and Aziridines (2011)

Transformation of Pristine and Citrate-Functionalized CeO<sub>2</sub> Nanoparticles in a Laboratory-Scale Activated Sludge Reactor (2014)

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are used to enhance the properties of many manufactured products and technologies. Increased use of ENMs will inevitably lead to their release into the environment. An important route of exposure is through the waste stream, where ENMs will enter wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), undergo transformations, and be discharged with treated effluent or biosolids. To better understand the fate of a common ENM in WWTPs, experiments with laboratory-scale activated sludge reactors and pristine and citrate-functionalized CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were conducted. Greater than 90% of the CeO2 introduced was observed to associate with biosolids. This association was accompanied by reduction of the Ce(IV) NPs to Ce(III). After 5 weeks in the reactor, 44 ± 4% reduction was observed for the pristine NPs and 31 ± 3% for the citrate-functionalized NPs, illustrating surface functionality dependence. Thermodynamic arguments suggest that the likely Ce(III) phase generated would be Ce2S3. This study indicates that the majority of CeO2 NPs (>90% by mass) entering WWTPs will be associated with the solid phase, and a significant portion will be present as Ce(III). At maximum, 10% of the CeO2 will remain in the effluent and be discharged as a Ce(IV) phase, governed by cerianite (CeO2).
Small Structural Variations Have Large Effects on the Assembly Properties and Spin State of Room Temperature High Spin Fe(II) Iminopyridine Cages (2018)

Small changes in steric bulk at the terminus of bis-iminopyridine ligands can effect large changes in the spin state of self-assembled Fe(II)-iminopyridine cage complexes. If the added bulk is properly matched with ligands that are either sufficiently flexible to allow twisted octahedral geometries at the Fe centers or can assemble with unusual mer configurations at the metals, room temperature high spin Fe(II) cages can be synthesized. These complexes maintain their high spin state in solution at low temperatures and have been characterized by X-ray crystallographic and computational methods. The high spin M<sub>2</sub>L<sub>3</sub> meso-helicate and M<sub>4</sub>L<sub>6</sub> cage complexes display longer N-Fe bond distances and larger interligand N-Fe-N bond angles than their diamagnetic counterparts, and these structural changes invert the ligand selectivity in narcissistic self-sorting and accelerate subcomponent exchange rates. The paramagnetic cages can be easily converted to diamagnetic cages by subcomponent exchange under mild conditions, and the intermediates of the exchange process can be visualized in situ by NMR analysis.
Broadband (8–14 μm), normal incidence, pseudomorphic Ge<i>x</i>Si1−<i>x</i>/Si strained-layer infrared photodetector operating between 20 and 77 K (1992)

Performance characteristics of a pseudomorphic p-type, normal incidence, Ge0.25Si0.75/Si strained-layer quantum well infrared photodetector on (001) Si is described for 20≤T≤77 K. The device shows broadband photoresponse (8–14 μm) which is attributed to strain and quantum confinement induced mixing of heavy, light, and split-off hole bands. Typical device responsivity at λ=10.8 μm is ∼0.04 A/W over the 20–77 K temperature range. A detectivity D*λ=3.3×109 cm √Hz/W was measured at a bias of −2.4 V for a temperature of 77 K at λ=10.8 μm and no cold shield. Room temperature FTIR measurements yield a quantum efficiency η≊3.1% at λp≊8 μm at 300 K.
Caratterizzazione frattale di scariche elettriche superficiali (1991)

The fractal characterization of electrical discharges taking place at the interface air/solid dielectric is considered in this paper. A numerical procedure allowing to reproduce the typical discharge patterns, known as Lichtenberg figures, is presented: the growth process of the discharge is simulated by solving iteratively the Laplace equation with moving boundary conditions and by considering two power probability laws whose exponents determine the ramification level of the structure
Total Artificial Heart as Bridge to Transplantation for Severe Culture-Negative Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis Due to Gemella haemolysans (2014)

We report a rare case of a patient with prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) requiring implantation of a total artificial heart (TAH) as a bridge to heart transplantation. Gemella haemolysans, an unusual cause of PVE, was identified as the organism responsible only by 16s rRNA polymerase chain reaction analysis of surgical tissue samples. We also describe one of the first uses of combined TAH and veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy in the setting of severe respiratory and cardiac failure. Implantation of a TAH may be considered in situations where more traditional reconstructive methods are not feasible.

The quadrupole-induced shifts of the ${\mathrm{Rb}}^{87}$ and ${\mathrm{As}}^{75}$ \textonehalf{} \ensuremath{\leftrightarrow} -\textonehalf{} nuclear-magnetic-resonance transitions have been used to study the temperature variation of the electric field gradients at the ionic sites on approaching the ferroelectric Curie points. The shifts can only be explained in terms of collective atomic fluctuations in the paraelectric phase. A soft-lattice-mode model does not quantitatively describe the temperature dependence of the frequency shifts. A model which explicitly takes into account the protonic disorder accounts quantitatively for the arsenic data. No quantitative treatment that is in good agreement with the rubidium data has been found.

Microbiology and management of otitis media. (1994)

Otitis media is a complex and multifactorial condition with four defined stages: myringitis, acute otitis media, secretory (serous) otitis media and chronic otitis media. Drugs utilized in its treatment are antihistamines, decongestants, mucolytic agents, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, corticosteroids, vaccine therapy and antibiotics. The rationale for using antibiotics is that inflammation has been associated with the presence of virulent bacteria in all types of otitis media. In acute otitis media the major organisms, present are Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Moraxella catarrhalis. In chronic otitis media these organisms, plus Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and anaerobic bacteria are all prevalent. The microbiological flora of the middle ear in secretory otitis media is almost identical with that in acute otitis media. Empirical therapy can be given in most instances of acute and serous otitis media. However, in cases of failure, in the immunocompromised and in instances of chronic otitis media, establishing the individual microbiology of the inflamed middle ear is very helpful. The growing resistance of H. influenzae and M. catarrhalis to amoxycillin, due to beta-lactamase production, increases the risk of treatment failure of acute and serous otitis media. By adding a beta-lactamase inhibitor (clavulanic acid) to amoxycillin, or using second-generation cephalosporins, clearance can be achieved. Management of chronic otitis media requires surgical correction, drainage and coverage of anaerobic bacteria with agents such as amoxycillin plus clavulanic acid, or clindamycin plus antimicrobials against other pathogens such as Pseudomonas spp. where present.
Experimental and Chemical Kinetics Study of the Effects of Halon 1211 (CF<sub>2</sub>BrCl) on the Laminar Flame Speed and Ignition of Light Hydrocarbons (2015)

In this study, the effect of Halon 1211 (CF2BrCl) on the ignition delay time and laminar flame speed of CH4, C2H4, and C3H8 were investigated experimentally for the first time. The results showed that the effects of Halon 1211 on the ignition delay time are strongly dependent on the hydrocarbon: the ignition delay time of CH4 is significantly decreased by Halon 1211 addition, while a significant increase in the ignition delay time was observed with C2H4 for the lowest temperatures investigated. Ignition delay times for C3H8 were slightly increased, mostly on the low-temperature side and for the fuel-rich case. A significant reduction in the laminar flame speed was observed for all of the fuels. A tentative chemical kinetics model was assembled from existing models and completed with reactions that have been determined in the literature or estimated when necessary. The experimental results were reproduced satisfactorily by the model, and a chemical analysis showed that most of the effects of Halon 1211 on the ignition delay times of C2H4 and C3H8 are due to the consumption of H radical through the reaction HBr + H ⇄ Br + H2. In the case of methane, the CF2 radical promotes the formation of H via CF2 + CH3 ⇄ CH2:CF2 + H, which then promotes the branching reaction H + O2 ⇄ OH + O. The laminar flame speed results can be explained using catalytic cycles involving Br atoms that are similar to those reported in the literature for CF3Br. This study exhibits the need for a better estimation of the chlorine atom chemistry during the combustion of hydrocarbons in the presence of fire suppressants.
Separation and quantitation of cholesterol "carriers" in bile. (1990)

On the basis of phase equilibria theory and experimental data, we discuss the identity, separation and quantitation of cholesterol-solubilizing lipid aggregates in bile, trivially known as cholesterol "carriers." We first describe analogies (as well as lack of correspondence) between equilibrium phase diagrams of aqueous bile salt, lecithin and cholesterol systems and phase equilibria in native biles. At equilibrium, the possible number and types of different cholesterol "carriers" are limited by constraints placed by the phase rule. These "carriers" include simple micelles (bile salts without lecithin), mixed micelles (bile salts plus lecithin), a lecithin plus cholesterol lamellar phase composed of single bilayer structures (vesicles) or multilamellar structures (liquid crystals) and possibly fragments of a hexagonal phase. Clearly, in this context, cholesterol monohydrate crystals, no matter how small, cannot be considered "carriers." We also use a metastable "phase diagram" for aqueous taurocholate-egg yolk lecithin-cholesterol systems to interpret physicochemical studies on the formation and stability of native biles. In biliary lipid systems, bile salt monomers with or without simple bile salt micelles are present in the aqueous "phase" in equilibrium with mixed micelles/or vesicles. This bile salt concentration is designated the intermicellar concentration but actually represents the total nonmixed micellar/nonvesicular concentration of bile salts (i.e., bile salt monomers and simple bile salt micelles when present) and may be a value that falls below, equal to or above the critical micellar concentration of the bile salts. Experimental estimates of the intermicellar-intervesicular bile salt concentration in model systems are compared with the range of bile salt concentrations that has been used in the literature to separate the presently accepted cholesterol "carriers" (mixed micelles and vesicles) in both model and native biles. We also reinterpret published lipid compositions of phases separated from human bile, using both a nonequilibrium "phase diagram" and an equilibrium phase diagram for the model system, taurocholate-egg yolk lecithin-cholesterol. From these analyses, we conclude that precise quantitation of cholesterol "carriers" in bile awaits methods to accurately determine the intermicellar-intervesicular concentration of bile salts in any individual bile, as well as advances in nonperturbing separatory procedures, and methods to control the thermal and temporal history of native bile samples.
Evidence of infectivity of airborne porcine epidemic diarrhea virus and detection of airborne viral RNA at long distances from infected herds (2014)

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) spread rapidly after being diagnosed in the USA in April 2013. In this study we assessed whether PEDV could become airborne and if so, whether the virus was infectious. Air samples were collected both from a room containing experimentally infected pigs and at various distances from the outside of swine farms experiencing acute PEDV outbreaks. Results indicated presence of infectious PEDV in the air from experimentally infected pigs and genetic material of PEDV was detected up to 10 miles downwind from naturally infected farms. Airborne transmission should be considered as a potential route for PEDV dissemination.
