Influenza is a common cause of severe respiratory illness, but risk factors for hospitalisation in low income settings with a high HIV prevalence are not well described. We aimed to assess risk factors associated with influenza-associated severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) hospitalisation in South Africa.We conducted a case-population study using data on risk conditions in patients hospitalised with SARI and the national prevalence of these conditions. Data on hospitalised cases were from the ...

Background: Strabismus is the most common amblyogenic factor and approximately 40% of children with manifest strabismus have amblyopia. In Nigeria, it is generally believed that strabismus is not common. However, few studies have been done to determine the prevalence of strabismus in Benin City, Edo State. Objective: This study aims to determine the prevalence and pattern of tropias and phorias in primary school children in Benin City. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study carried out on primary ...

One-quarter of the 40 million individuals estimated to have epilepsy in the developing world live in Africa. Data on epilepsy in Nigeria are scanty. The disease is associated with significant socioeconomic effects. This study reviewed the pattern of presentation of epilepsy in Enugu, southeast Nigeria. A retrospective study was performed of adult epilepsy patients who presented to the medical clinic at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu, from January 2002 to December 2006.

To assess the prevalence of adherence to prescribed medications in children with Crohn disease and to identify possible factors associated with nonadherence.This was a cross-sectional study of 51 pediatric patients with Crohn disease who were prescribed maintenance therapy with a thiopurine immunomodulator (6-mercaptopurine or azathioprine) and/or mesalamine during a 180-day period. Medication adherence rates were calculated from a validated formula using pharmacy records, and nonadherence was defined ...

ABSTRACT Objectives: To compare the disease presentation, disease phenotype, and clinical course between black and white children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Patients and Methods: A 10‐year retrospective review was undertaken of the medical records of 245 pediatric patients with IBD studied at a tertiary care center. Results: In this patient population 24% were black and 76% were white. There were no differences between black and white patients in terms of anatomic distribution of IBD, ...

Indeterminate colitis (IC) is a subgroup of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that cannot be characterized as either ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). Our aims are to determine the prevalence of IC in our pediatric patient population and to describe its clinical presentation, natural history,and disease distribution.We performed a retrospective database analysis of all children diagnosed with IBD at the Johns Hopkins Children's IBD Center between 1996 and 2001. Patient demographics, including ...

The effects of infliximab, a tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) antibody, have been well established in adult patients with inflammatory and fistulizing Crohn's disease. This study evaluates short- and long-term efficacy of infliximab in children with ulcerative colitis.All pediatric patients with ulcerative colitis who received infliximab between July 2001 and November 2003 at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center were identified. Short- and long-term outcomes and adverse reactions were evaluated. ...

The chapter discusses the fragmentation of ribosomes. It is one of the methods of investigating ribosomal structure obtained after partial cleavage of the ribosomal RNA. Fragments are analyzed to identify their proteins and nucleic acid sequences, whose presence in the same fragment indicates that they are located in the same restricted region of the intact ribosome. A considerable amount of information of this sort is published for both ribosomal subunits of Escherichia coli. In conjunction with ...

When rat brain cortex slices are incubated with amino acids in the presence of various sugars, the ratio of amino acid transported to the steady-state level of ATP (termed the transport quotient) is constant. The actual amount of ATP maintained is greatest with glucose and mannose but somewhat less with fructose and galactose. Certain α-keto acids (pyruvate, oxalacetate, α-ketoglutarate, or glutamate which can give rise to α-ketoglutarate) also support glycine transport but with a lesser efficiency. ...

Evidence is presented which indicates that several amino acid transport systems are present in rat brain cortex slices, each with its own specificity with regard to substrate and with regard to amino acids which produce inhibitory effects. The nature of these inhibitory effects may be either direct (competition for a limiting number of sites) or indirect (as they are when glutamate or aspartate cause a decrease in the ATP content).Comparison of the specificities of the glycine transport systems present ...

Incubation of rat brain cortex slices with glycine in the presence of glucose leads to an accumulation of glycine in the slice. The extent of the accumulation is proportional to the level of adenosine triphosphate in the slice under a wide variety of experimental conditions which lead to changes in this level. Such conditions include change in the glucose concentration in the incubation medium, the presence of metabolic inhibitors, addition of uncoupling agents, alteration of the ionic composition ...

Tofranil inhibits the respiratory activity of rat brain cortex slices incubated in a glucose-containing medium. It also inhibits the uptake and incorporation of glycine-1-C 14 at concentrations which have only a slight inhibitory effect on the respiration of slices. Tofranil also inhibits oxidative phosphorylation in both rat liver and rat brain mitochondria but at higher concentrations respiration is greatly affected. Tofranil differs quantitatively from chlorpromazine in its greater inhibitory ...

Objective Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a highly morbid condition notable for recurrent hospitalisations due to vaso-occlusive crises and complications of end organ damage. Little is known about the use of inpatient palliative care services in adult patients with SCD. This study aims to evaluate inpatient palliative care use during SCD-related hospitalisations overall and during terminal hospitalisations. We hypothesise that use of palliative care is low in SCD hospitalisations. Design A retrospective ...
