Pleural infections can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Systemic antibiotics and drainage are the standard treatment, but some patients require surgical intervention for complete resolution.

Background The ideal identification of Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates requires a battery of tests and this is costly in resource limited settings. In many developing countries, the tube coagulase test is usually confirmatory for S. aureus and is

Development of a reporter gene assay to identify control elements required for dosage compensation in Drosophila Melanogaster : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Genetics at Massey University [PDF]
Dosage compensation (equalisation of X-linked gene products) occurs in Drosophila melanogaster by a two-fold transcriptional increase of X-linked gene expression in the male.

Role of Cytolethal Distending Toxin in Altered Stool Form and Bowel Phenotypes in a Rat Model of Post-infectious Irritable Bowel Syndrome. [PDF]
Background/aimsCampylobacter jejuni infection is a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis, which is a trigger for post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS). Cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) is expressed by enteric pathogens that cause PI-IBS. We

A Deoxyribonuclease from Rabbit Leucocytes.
SummaryRabbit leucocytes from sterile peritoneal exudates contain a potent acid DNase. By differential sonification and cellulose column chromatography this enzyme has been purified 140-fold. The properties of the enzyme are discussed and the similarity to and differences from previously described DNases are mentioned.

Immunochip analysis identifies multiple susceptibility loci for systemic sclerosis [PDF]
In this study, 1,833 systemic sclerosis (SSc) cases and 3,466 controls were genotyped with the Immunochip array. Classical alleles, amino acid residues, and SNPs across the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region were imputed and tested.

A Sub-cellular Localization of the Gene Product of the DNase-1 Locus in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
A study was undertaken to determine the subcellular location of DNase-I, a major acid deoxyribonuclease in Drosophila melanogaster. Embryonic tissue used in these experiments was derived from a wild type strain and from a strain homozygous at the DNase-l

Endotracheal N-acetylcysteine for Atelectasis in Neonatal Pneumonia
Although there is no gold standard therapy in the treatment of atelectasis in newborns, surfactant therapy, inhaled mucolytic agents, recombinant human deoxyribonuclease, positive pressure mechanical ventilation, postural changes and drainage can be used.

Class of {varphi}X174 Mutants Relatively Deficient in Synthesis of Viral RNA [PDF]
Nonpermissive cells infected with {varphi}X174 gene D amber mutants synthesized some sixfold less viral RNA than permissive cells. The decrease was unaffected by increasing the multiplicity of infection and was a consequence of an overall decrease in all
