13. Therapeutic limitations of argon laser trabeculoplasty.
Sixty-one patients (82 eyes) were studied after argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) to determine the lasting efficacy of such treatment. This investigation, now in its fourth year, was prospective, and the information derived was analysed with the aid of a computer. Success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) below baseline (22 mmHg). The mean follow-up

14. Veillonella infections in children.
From 1974 to 1994, 2,033 specimens from children were submitted for cultures for anaerobic bacteria. Eighty-three Veillonella spp. were recovered from 83 children (4%). Most Veillonella species were recovered from abscesses, aspiration pneumonias, burns, bites, and sinuses. The infections were polymicrobial in 79 (95%) patients, but in 4 (5%) patients, Veill

15. Therapy of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections with Tobramycin
The efficacy of tobramycin in doses of 2.7 to 5.6 mg/kg per day in 29 courses of therapy in 25 hospitalized patients with serious Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections was studied. Eighty-three percent of the P. aeruginosa strains showed zones of inhibition of 16 mm or more around a 10-μg tobramycin disk in the Bauer-Kirby disk method. Tobramycin minimal inhibi

16. Lack of specific γ-retroviral vector long terminal repeat promoter silencing in patients receiving genetically engineered lymphocytes and activation upon lymphocyte restimulation
Retroviral transduction of tumor antigen-specific T-cell receptor (TCR) genes into lymphocytes redirects T cells to lyse tumors. Furthermore, adoptive transfer of these lymphocytes has mediated objective responses in patients with metastatic cancer. From 2004 to 2006, more than 40 patients were treated with autologous gene-modified lymphocytes expressing a m

17. Invasion of respiratory epithelial cells by Burkholderia (Pseudomonas) cepacia.
Pulmonary infections caused by Burkholderia (Pseudomonas) cepacia are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Several features suggestive of cellular invasion and intracellular sequestration of B. cepacia in CF are persistence of infection in the face of antibiotic therapy to which the organism demonstrates in vitro su

18. Vesicular stomatitis virus G glycoprotein pseudotyped retroviral vectors: concentration to very high titer and efficient gene transfer into mammalian and nonmammalian cells.
The restricted host-cell range and low titer of retroviral vectors limit their use for stable gene transfer in eukaryotic cells. To overcome these limitations, we have produced murine leukemia virus-derived vectors in which the retroviral envelope glycoprotein has been completely replaced by the G glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus. Such vectors can

19. Growth hormone treatment in pediatric burns: a safe therapeutic approach.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the safety and efficacy of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) in the treatment of children who are severely burned. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: During the last decade, we have used recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH; 0.2 mg/kg/day s.q.) to successfully treat 130 children with more than 40% total body surface area (TBSA) burns to

20. Identification of Envelope Determinants of Feline Leukemia Virus Subgroup B That Permit Infection and Gene Transfer to Cells Expressing Human Pit1 or Pit2
The retroviral vector systems that are in common use for gene therapy are designed to infect cells expressing either of two widely expressed phosphate transporter proteins, Pit1 or Pit2. Subgroup B feline leukemia viruses (FeLV-Bs) use the gibbon ape leukemia virus receptor, Pit1, as a receptor for entry. Our previous studies showed that some chimeric envelo

21. Internal sclerostomy using laser ablation of dyed sclera in glaucoma patients: a pilot study.
Twelve eyes of 12 patients with refractory glaucoma were treated with internal sclerostomy using laser ablation of dyed sclera. The technique involves iontophoretic impregnation of the sclera at the limbal region with 1% methylene blue and subsequent delivery of a pulsed dye laser beam to the stained area through a goniolens. The red wavelength of 664 nm gen

22. Zygomycetes in Human Disease
The Zygomycetes represent relatively uncommon isolates in the clinical laboratory, reflecting either environmental contaminants or, less commonly, a clinical disease called zygomycosis. There are two orders of Zygomycetes containing organisms that cause human disease, the Mucorales and the Entomophthorales. The majority of human illness is caused by the Muco

23. Hypertonic sodium resuscitation is associated with renal failure and death.
OBJECTIVE: The use of hypertonic sodium solutions (HSS) and lactated Ringer's (LR) solution in the resuscitation of patients with major burns was compared. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Hypertonic sodium solutions have been recommended for burn resuscitation to reduce the large total volumes required with isotonic LR solution and their attendant complications.
