Item Molecular characterisation of pneumococcal serotype 16F: established predominant carriage and otitis media serotype in the 7vPCV era(2007) Morris, Peter Stanley; Marsh, Robyn L; Smith-Vaughan, Heidi; Beissbarth, Jemima; Hare, Kim; Kennedy, Mandy; Wigger, Christine; Mellon, Gabrielle; Stubbs, Elizabeth; Gadil, J R; Pettit, A; Tipakalippa, P; Leach, Amanda Jane; Mackenzie, GrantItem Non-linear chromosomal inversion response in prostate after low dose X-radiation exposure(2006) Zeng, Guoxin; Day, Tanya Kate; Hooker, Antony Michael; Blyth, Benjamin John; Bhat, Madhava; Sykes, Pamela Joy; Tilley, Wayne DesmondItem Prevention of pertussis: recommendations derived from the second global pertussis initiative roundtable meeting(2007) Tan, Tina; Caro, Jaime; Plotkin, Stanley; Forsyth, Kevin Douglas; Wirsing von Knig, Carl-HeinzItem A randomized controlled trial of glucose versus amylase resistant starch hypo-osmolar oral rehydration solution for adult acute dehydrating diarrhea(2008) Ramakrishna, Balakrishnan S; Sebastian, Bendon K; Young, Graeme Paul; Farthing, Michael; Binder, Henry J; Subramanian, Venkataraman; Mohan, VivekReduction of gross diarrhea rate in excess of that seen over time with intravenous therapy and appropriate antibiotics is not usually achieved by oral glucose-electrolyte rehydration therapy for cholera and cholera-like diarrheas. Methodology and Principal Findings This prospective randomized clinical trial at a tertiary referral hospital in southern India was undertaken to determine whether amylase resistant starch, substituting for glucose in hypo-osmolar oral rehydration solution, would reduce diarrhea duration and weight in adults with acute severe dehydrating diarrhea. 50 adult males with severe watery diarrhea of less than three days' duration and moderate to severe dehydration were randomized to receive hypo-osmolar ORS (HO-ORS) or HO-ORS in which amylase resistant high amylose maize starch 50g/L substituted for glucose (HAMS-ORS). All remaining therapy followed standard protocol. Duration of diarrhea (ORS commencement to first formed stool) in hours was significantly shorter with HAMS-ORS (median 19, IQR 10-28) compared to HO-ORS (median 42, IQR 24-50) (Bonferroni adjusted P, Padj<0.001). Survival analysis (Kaplan-Meier) showed faster recovery from diarrhea in the HAMS-ORS group (P<0.001, log rank test). Total diarrhea fecal weight in grams (median, IQR) was not significantly lower in the HAMS-ORS group (2190, 1160-5635) compared to HO-ORS (5210, 2095-12190) (Padj = 0.08). However, stool weight at 13-24 hours (280, 0-965 vs. 1360, 405-2985) and 25–48 hours (0, 0-360 vs. 1080, 55-3485) were significantly lower in HAMS-ORS compared to HO-ORS group (Padj = 0.048 and P = 0.012, respectively). ORS intake after first 24 hours was lower in the HAMS-ORS group. Subgroup analysis of patients with culture isolates of Vibrio cholerae indicated similar significant differences between the treatment groups.Item Selective Growth Inhibition of Human Leukemia and Human Lymphoblastoid Cells by Resveratrol via Cell Cycle Arrest and Apoptosis Induction(2008) Zhang, Wei; Sanderson, Barbara Joanne; Lee, Sau Kuen
