Neutralization of African swine fever virus by sera from African swine fever-resistant pigs.

Sera from African swine fever-resistant pigs with infection-inhibitory activity decreased virus replication in infected porcine buffy coat cultures. This same effect was observed even after virus was adsorbed. The infection-inhibition was not reversed by removing the immune serum from the assay cultures. Reduction of African swine fever virus replication by immune sera was demonstrated by fluorescent focus assay on MS cell line cultures. Virus-neutralization tests showed a persistent fraction of non-neutralized virus, which was not demonstrable by infection-inhibition tests. One hypothesis for explaining this difference is proposed.

Neonatal retinal hemorrhages and influence of perinatal factors.

We studied fundus oculi in 234 newborns, divided into two groups of mothers and neonates with or without disease. The overall frequency or retinal hemorrhages was 30.3% (71 neonates). In each group, we studied the association between retinal hemorrhage and several variables of labor and the newborn infant. Statistically significant differences were found in the incidence of hemorrhage in one (2.6%) neonate born by cesarean section, as compared with 61 (38%) spontaneous or 9 (25%) forceps delivery.

Serum alpha-fetoprotein in adults, in women during pregnancy, in children at birth, and during the first week of life: a sex difference.

In order to investigate whether a sex difference exists in alpha-fetoprotein serum concentration, blood samples were collected from 133 adult men, 52 adult women, 239 pregnant women at different ages of gestation, 16 girls and 18 boys at birth, and seven girls and seven boys during the first week of life. In the case of 15 boys and 10 girls, blood samples were also collected from their mothers at the time of delivery. Serum AFP was measured by a radioimmunoassay method. In all neonates the mean value was 625 times higher than in all mothers at the time of delivery and 13,000 times higher than in adults. No difference was found between mothers of girls and those of boys both during pregnancy and at the time of delivery. However, at birth, the fetal AFP serum concentration was 1.8 (p less than 0.001) times higher in boys than in girls. This sex difference was maintained during the first week of life. The half-life of serum AFP was 5 to 6 days in the neonate. The origin and the possible physiologic significance of such sex difference in AFP deserve further investigations.

The role of the laparoscopic nurse practitioner.

Since the appointment of the author as laparoscopic nurse practitioner at Milton Keynes Hospital Trust, there have been more cholecystectomy operations, but fewer patients have required open surgery or inpatient admission, with substantial cost savings. The author describes how the role developed and the opportunities it presents for nurses.

[Intracranial hemorrhage from an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in a tuberous sclerosis patient].

We describe a previously diagnosed tuberous sclerosis patient that arrived to the hospital with an intracerebral hemorrhage whose origin was an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). A craniectomy was performed and the hematoma was evacuated with the alleviation of the patient. Although the association between tuberous sclerosis and intracerebral hemorrhage is known in the literature it has never been described associated with an AVM.
