Differentiation of Coxsackie Viruses by Altering Susceptibility of Mice with Cortisone

The Induction of Gross Myocardial Lesions by a Coxsackie (Pleurodynia) Virus and Cortisone 12

“…The line of virus designated "infant mouse virus" was recovered from the 1This investigation was supported in part by a grant from the Life Insurance Medical Research Fund. 2 …”

“…It has been shown that the administration of cortisone to the adult mouse changes this state of intrinsic resistance to one of marked susceptibility resulting in death (1). This dramatic effect is brought about only with those strains of Group B (pleurodynia) Coxsackie virus which can multiply to some extent in the adult mouse in the absence of cortisone (2). Infection of normal adult mice with Group B viruses, types 1 and 3, results in non-fatal disease associated with pathologic changes largely confined to the pancreas (3,4).…”

R- and Z-Axis Patterned Scaffolds Mimic Tracheal Circumferential Compliance and Longitudinal Extensibility

“…To avoid such complications and ensure implant success, matching native compliance and extensibility may be required. Supporting this approach, an external C-shaped tracheal splint, which would allow for trachealis deformation, resulted in no subsequent hospitalizations or complications, in contrast to frequent complications observed in response to full circumferential internal stents …”

“…Supporting this approach, an external C-shaped tracheal splint, which would allow for trachealis deformation, resulted in no subsequent hospitalizations or complications, 10 in contrast to frequent complications observed in response to full circumferential internal stents. 11 We have previously investigated the use of bioinspired ring patterns to create radially rigid and longitudinally extensible tubes. 12 Through this work, we found that a 1:2 thickness ratio of hard to soft rings was optimal.…”
