Biochemical analysis of ascitic (peritoneal) fluid: what should we measure?

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical Biochemistry, 2010
Ascitic fluid samples are frequently sent to the laboratory for analysis. Although the underlying cause of the ascites is often thought to be clinically obvious, it is important to establish a definitive diagnosis. The value of a cell count and bacterial

Antibody-resistant mutants of Borrelia burgdorferi: in vitro selection and characterization. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
We used polyclonal antisera and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to inhibit the growth of clonal populations of two strains of Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme disease agent, and thereby select for antibody-resistant mutants.

Immunoreactive human chorionic gonadotropin and its free ß-subunit in serum and ascites of patients with malignant tumors [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a clinically relevant marker of trophoblastic and nontrophoblastic malignancies. In the present studies, in addition to determining serum hCG, we investigated the presence and properties of hCG immunoreactivity in ...

End-Stage Liver Disease Comorbidities in Patients Awaiting Transplantation: Identification and Impact on Liver Transplant Survival [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
End-Stage Liver Disease (ESLD), a complex condition, has high rates of co-occurring comorbidities affecting multiple organ systems. There is no clear evidence-based practice (EBP) guidelines addressing the progression of comorbidities in ESLD patients awaiting liver transplantation (LT) and their impact on survival, both pre- and post-transplant.

Stirring faces: mixing in a quiescent fluid [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2012
This fluid dynamics video depicts the mixing that occurs as a two-dimensional flat plate plunges sinusoidally in a quiescent fluid. Finite-time Lyapunov exponents reveal sets that are attracting or repelling. As the flow field develops, strange faces emerge.
