DNA haplotypes of the complement C6 and C7 genes associated with deficiencies of the seventh component; And a new DNA polymorphism in C7 exon 13

Fernie B.A.; Orren A.; Schlesinger M.; Wurzner R.; Platonov A.E.; Cooper R.C.; Williams Y.E.; Hobart M.J. (1997)

Eight common DNA polymorphisms have been described for the linked C6 and C7 genes. We now describe a ninth polymorphism in C7 exon 13 which is located in a tight cluster with two previously reported markers. We have used ...

Effect of sperm preincubation time on GIFT pregnancy outcome

Coetzee K.; Stander F.S.H.; Windt M.-L.; Erasmus E.; Smith K.; Kruger T.F.; Van Der Merwe J.P.; Lombard C.J. (1997)

This investigation was conducted to evaluate the effect of human sperm preincubation time on the pregnancy outcome in gamete intrafallopian tube transfers. This was determined in a retrospective study on gamete intrafallopian ...

Significance of antisperm antibodies in female serum in a gamete intrafallopian transfer program

Vandendael A.; Kruger T.F.; De Villiers A.; Menkveld R.; Lombard C.J. (1998)

The influence of antisperm antibodies in the female serum on fertilization and pregnancy rate in patients undergoing GIFT was assessed. A study group of 52 couples (69 cycles) with significant levels of antisperm antibodies ...

Prognostic value of the strict criteria: An Argentinian experience

Hernandez M.; Molina R.; Olmedo J.; Brugo Olmedo S.; Coetzee K.; Estofan D. (1996)

The prognostic value of normal sperm morphology, evaluated according to the strict criteria, was prospectively assessed. The study included 112 IVF cycles. The percentage normal sperm morphology of the semen samples used ...

Capillary refilling time in newborn babies: Normal values

Strozik K.S.; Pieper C.H.; Roller J. (1997)

Aim - To assess the normal values of capillary refilling time (CRT) in healthy newborn babies; to assess the effect of different nursery containers (incubator, radiant warmer, crib), phototherapy, birthweight, gestational ...

Current evaluation of cardiac stab wounds

Harris D.G.; Papagiannopoulos K.A.; Pretorius J.; Van Rooyen T.; Rossouw G.J. (1999)

Background. Patients with penetrating cardiac injuries may be stable or only mildly shocked, especially if the laceration has sealed off and the patient has been aggressively resuscitated. Clinical signs, chest roentgenograms, ...

Retrospective study of nonsyndromic craniosynostosis treated over a 10-year period

Breugem C.C.; Van R. Zeeman B.J. (1999)

Since the first operation for premature suture closure in North America in 1888, there have been some fundamental changes in the treatment of these sutures, the latest being the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's 1996 ...

Allelic imbalance and microsatellite instability of the DCC gene in colorectal cancer in patients under the age of 35 using fluorescent DNA technology

Chetty R.; Naidoo R.; Schneider J. (1998)

Aim-To assess allelic imbalance and microsatellite instability in the region of the 'deleted in colorectal cancer' (DCC) gene on chromosome 18q using fluorescent DNA technology in colorectal cancer in patients under the ...

Evidence of a long QT founder gene with varying phenotypic expression in South African families

De Jager T.; Corbett C.H.; Badenhorst J.C.W.; Brink P.A.; Corfield V.A. (1996)

We report five South African families of northern European descent (pedigrees 161, 162, 163, 164, and 166) in whom Romano-Ward long QT syndrome (LQT) segregates. The disease mapped to a group of linked markers on chromosome ...
