An evaluation of dextranomer as a cleansing agent in the treatment of the postphlebitic stasis ulcer
(1980)
Recent reports in the literature have indicated that dextranomer (Debrisan; Adcock-Ingram) is an effective cleansing agent for the secreting wound. To evaluate its possible use in the initial cleansing of the infected ...
Lack of interaction between α2-adrenoceptors and dopamine D2-receptors in mediating their inhibitory effects on [3H]dopamine release from rat nucleus accumbens slices
(1993)
The α2-adrenoceptor agonist, UK14304, dose-dependently inhibited the electrically stimulated release of dopamine (DA) from rat nucleus accumbens slices. This effect was antagonized by idazoxan, confirming that it was an ...
Localized basal meningeal enhancement in tuberculous meningitis
(2006)
Background: Focal basal meningeal enhancement may produce a confusing CT picture in children with suspected tuberculous meningitis (TBM). Objective: To demonstrate the incidence, distribution and appearance of localized ...
Effects of α2- and β-adrenoceptor agonists on growth hormone secretion following lesion of the noradrenergic system of the rat
(1992)
The aim of the present investigation was to lesion the noradrenergic system and to measure the effect on growth hormone (GH) secretion following peripheral administration of α2- and β-adrenoceptor agonists. Direct injection ...
In vitro fertilization failure: Identification of gamete defects by investigation of sperm-zona pellucida binding capacity of unfertilized oocytes
(1996)
The objective of the study was to determine whether fertilization failure was due to spermatozoal or oocyte factors. Twenty-five unfertilized oocytes and from 12 IVF/GIFT couples showing total or partial fertilization ...
TUNEL assay and SCSA determine different aspects of sperm DNA damage
(2010)
Summary For the determination of sperm DNA damage, different assays are used. However, no further distinction is made and the literature generally speaks about DNA damage. Thus, this study aimed at comparing the sperm ...
Leucocytes and intrinsic ROS production may be factors compromising sperm chromatin condensation status
(2010)
Considering that the final protection of the DNA against major assaults in terms of chromatin condensation is finalised in the epididymis, it is not known how sperm production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory ...
Development of a new, highly sensitive zona pellucida binding assay using a bioluminescence-enhanced detection system
(2001)
To date, two different zona binding assays have been described in the literature. Both assays, however, require a large quantity of human zonae which vary immensely in quality. Furthermore, an inverted microscope with ...
Normal sperm morphology and chromatin packaging: Comparison between aniline blue and chromomycin A3 staining
(1999)
The successful implementation of ICSI has provided a unique means of allowing couples suffering from severe male infertility to achieve their reproductive goals. However, despite the great therapeutic advantages of the ...
Repeatability and variance analysis on multiple computer-assisted (IVOS*) sperm morphology readings
(1999)
The repeatability of the Hamilton Thorne Research IVOS (version 10) semen analyser (dimension specific software, version 3) in the evaluation of sperm morphology according to strict criteria was investigated in this study. ...
