Air-bubble method of locking central-vein catheters for prevention of hub colonization: a pilot study.

Hemodialysis international. International Symposium on Home Hemodialysis

Twardowski ZJ, Reams G, Prowant BF, Moore HL, Van Stone JC.
PMID: 19379382
Hemodial Int. 2003 Oct 01;7(4):320-5. doi: 10.1046/j.1492-7535.2003.00056.x.

BACKGROUND: The major source of catheter-associated bacteremia is contamination of the catheter hub during connection-disconnection procedures. A new method of catheter locking has been developed wherein anticoagulant is injected first, followed by a 0.1-mL air bubble and 0.9 mL...

A differential response to newt regeneration extract by C2C12 and primary mammalian muscle cells.

Skeletal muscle

Kawesa S, Vanstone J, Tsilfidis C.
PMID: 26090089
Skelet Muscle. 2015 Jun 11;5:19. doi: 10.1186/s13395-015-0044-8. eCollection 2015.

BACKGROUND: Dedifferentiation, a process whereby differentiated cells lose their specialized characteristics and revert to a less differentiated state, plays a key role in the regeneration process in urodele amphibians such as the red spotted newt, Notophthalmus viridescens. Dedifferentiation of...
