Canine ehrlichiosis, which is caused by Ehrlichia canis, was originally described in Algeria in 1935 10 ; , and it has now been reported throughout most of the world, but particularly in tropical and subtropical regions 18, 19, 33 ; . The disease is characterized by fever, depression, anorexia, and body weight loss in the acute phase, with laboratory findings of thrombocytopenia and gammaglobulinemia 5, 13 ; . Hemorrhages, epistaxis, edema, and hypotensive shock, which lead to death in the chronic phase, are often exacerbated by superinfection with other organisms 5, 13, 20 ; . A subclinical phase is often seen 8, 17, 27 ; . A wide variety of chemotherapeutic agents have been suggested for use in the treatment of canine ehrlichiosis. Various sulfonamides 3, 4, 7, ; and antibiotics including penicillin 12 ; , chloramphenicol 4 ; , tetracyclines 2, 3, 5, ; , and imidocarb dipropionate 1, 23, 29 ; have been used in treatment regimens with varying degrees of success. Tetracycline or its derivatives are believed to be the most effective clinically and are the most widely used antibiotics for the treatment of canine ehrlichiosis 2, 3, 5, ; . Doxycycline is a synthetic derivative of methacycline and is also known as cx-6-deoxy-5-oxytetracycline 15 ; . The mode of action of doxycycline is similar to those of the other tetracyclines, i.e., the inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis. Doxycycline differs from the tetracyclines in that it has a high degree of lipid solubility and is more completely absorbed from the and pepcid. Components that retain the maximum amount of information. Examination of the first two principal components clearly demonstrates the ability of these top 55 genes to discriminate between treatment groups and or time points Fig. 4 ; . Replicate hybridizations of E2-treated cells formed five distinct clusters, corresponding to treatment intervals. In contrast, data from hybridizations of OHT-treated cells clustered together regardless of the treatment time. Not surprisingly, 13 genes identified within the agonistspecific clusters described in Fig. 3 were also identified by the GA KNN method, including cyclin D1, fra-1, cathepsin D, parathyroid hormone, protein kinase inhibitor b, and DNAJ homolog. Hierarchical clustering was also applied to the top 55 genes identified by GA KNN, which grouped the 4-, 12-, and 24-h E2 treatments most closely together. The 24-h OHT treatment, while clustering most closely to the later E2 treatments than the other OHT time points, exhibited either little or decreased signal intensities for these genes compared to E2 treatment, a factor most likely to have influenced the inclusion of these genes as discriminators between ligands in MCF-7 cells see Supplemental Information ; . OHT Recapitulates Estrogen Induction of Cell Cycle-Associated Genes Because OHT treatment failed to stimulate MCF-7 cell proliferation, we examined the expression profiles of cell cyclerelated genes present on the ToxChip identified as being differentially expressed in the compiled data set Fig. 5A ; . Surprisingly, similar to E2, OHT induced the expression of many cell cycle genes. Several genes that regulate transit through the cell cycle 26, 33 35 ; , including myc, fos, myb, cyclin A2, stk15, and cdc25a, were up-regulated by both E2 and OHT treatments. We confirmed induction of these genes by both E2 and OHT at the RNA Northern analysis ; and or protein level Western analysis ; in independent biological replicates Fig. 5B and Table 1 ; . Interestingly, cyclin A2, which has been reported to accumulate in G1 phase and to function at the G2 M transition, was up-regulated by OHT at 24 h, similar to its induction by E2. By this time, approximately 50% of E2-treated. Many drugs that are used to treat can and phenergan. 1. Breathnach SM, Hintner H. Adverse Drug Reactions and the Skin.

Fibrosing dermopathy NSF NFD ; following the administration of gadodiamide Omniscan ; injection. Gadodiamide is indicated for intravenous use in MRI to visualize tissues with abnormal vascularity. According to GE Healthcare, of the 25 cases, 15 were serious and involved disability with or without hospitalization, and 10 cases were non-serious with mild symptoms; furthermore, all patients had severely impaired renal function and most were receiving regular dialysis before gadodiamide administration. GE Healthcare states that, based on current evidence, no causal relationship between gadodiamide exposure and NSF NFD has been established, that NSF NFD is rapidly developing, rare, mild-todisabling, potentially fatal, and has only been reported in patients with severe renal function impairment, and that the company has received no reports of NSF NFD in patients without renal impairment or in patients with renal impairment who received only the recommended doses. GE Healthcare says that alternatives to gadodiamideenhanced magnetic resonance angiography MRA ; should be considered in patients with severe renal impairment, that gadodiamide is not approved for MRA in Canada, and that current prescribing information recommends using gadodiamide with caution in patients with renal impairment. The company is working with worldwide regulatory authorities, medical experts and reporting hospitals, to further investigate this issue. Reference: Advisories, Warnings and Recalls.

P 0.001 However, due to the fact that most patients were from rural areas n 182 ; , they stayed longer in the treatment centers. Mean duration of stay was 4.7 days still significantly lower than the time spent when treated with penicillin. The recorded complications were all due to the disease ranging from visual to hearing problem to ataxia, 4 patients with complications were treated with penicillin compared to one who was treated with oily chloramphenicol. Seven patients treated with oily chloramphenicol had non painful swellings at the sites of injections. We conclude from this short report that oily chloramphenicol is more suitable for epidemic meningitis in Sudan because of the reduced cost and time of treatment with no observable complications. It ensures compliance and reduction of sequalae in young age groups of patients. References.

By indication. It found none of these, and the result, a 60% reduction in the risk of sepsis with statins in dialysis patients looks strong. Several other observational studies in bacteraemia or bacterial infection have also found improved outcomes in statin users, and a study of hospital admission for cardiovascular events found a lower incidence of sepsis with statin use. Moreover, there appears to be a biological plausibility, as the first statin was originally identified from a penicillin fungus, where it is theorised that it may have benefited the fungus by preventing replication of microorganisms requiring cholesterol for growth. All in all an intriguing story based on some good observation. It will be interesting to see where it leads. Reference: 1 R Gupta et al.

N 1941, at the time of the first clinical trial, we knew almost nothing about the nature of penicillin except that it was a relatively small molecule which was extractable as a free acid into organic solvents and could be reextracted into an aqueous solution as a salt. By the summer of 1943, Chain and I had good reason to believe that our most active preparation was virtually pure. Chain and I had degraded penicillin to its three components, an amino acid penicillamine ; , an aldehyde and carbon dioxide. It became clear to us that the penicillin structure was to be obtained by removal of the elements of water from a penicilloate, thiazolidine that was formed when penicillin was inactivated by dilute alkali or by a penicillinase. In view of the physicochemical properties of penicillin and in particular my inability to find any basic group in the molecule by electrometric titration, I then proposed in October 1943 a beta-lactam structure to Chain who immediately accepted it. ut towards the end of 1942 we had begun to collaborate with Sir Robert Robinson and Wilson Baker in the Dyson Perrins Laaboratory. Sir Robert, one of the greatest organic chemists of his day, found the beta-lactam structure unacceptable. This gave rise to a controversy, with some exciting episodes, that lasted for almost two years and only ended when Dorothy Hodgkin and Barbara Low completed an X-ray crystallographic analysis, remarkable indeed at that time, which finally established the beta-lactam structure of the penicillin molecule.

The reduced sensitivity to penicillin was associated with failure of treatment but did not prove a major problem, as was once feared. We report the prevalence of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus MRSA ; infections and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern in our hospital located in eastern Uttar Pradesh. Out of total 549 strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from different clinical specimens 301 54.85% ; were found to be methicillin resistant. More than 80% of MRSA were found to be resistant to penicillin, cotrimoxazole, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, erythromycin, tetracycline, 60.5% to amikacin and 47.5% to netilmicin. However, no strains were resistant to vancomycin. Many MRSA strains 32.0% ; were multi-drug resistant. To reduce the prevalence of MRSA, the regular surveillance of hospital associated infection, monitoring of antibiotic sensitivity pattern and formulation of definite antibiotic policy may be helpful. Key words: MRSA, multidrug resistance, hospital infection.
