Effect of prior bilateral nephrectomy on haemoglobin and blood pressure outcome after transplantation (1993)

Darby, C., Raine, A. E. G., Cranston, D., Morris, P. J.

Changes in blood pressure and haemoglobin concentration before and after renal transplantation were compared in 15 patients with renal failure due to chronic pyelonephritis who had undergone...

Conserved cytoplasmic tyrosine residues of the gamma subunit are required for a phagocytic signal mediated by Fc gamma RIIIA.

Park, J G, Murray, R K, Chien, P, Darby, C, Schreiber, A D

Fc receptors for immunoglobulins are found on many cells and are important in host defense. We transfected Fc gamma RIIIA, present on macrophages and natural killer (NK) cells, into COS-1 cells to...

In vivo glucocorticoid modulation of guinea pig splenic macrophage Fc gamma receptors.

Ruiz, P, Gomez, F, King, M, Lopez, R, Darby, C, Schreiber, A D

Although glucocorticoids are widely used in the treatment of immunohematologic disease, their relative efficacy is uncertain. We used an animal model, which has helped to elucidate the role of...

The role of performance measures for improving quality in managed care organizations.

Scanlon, D P, Darby, C, Rolph, E, Doty, H E

OBJECTIVES: To understand how managed care plans use performance measures for quality improvement and to identify the strengths and weaknesses of currently used standardized performance measures such...

Is there a myoelectrical abnormality in the irritable colon syndrome?

Taylor, I, Darby, C, Hammond, P, Basu, P

Although recent work has suggested that an abnormality of the 0.05 Hz (3 c/m) slow wave electrical activity exists in the distal colon of patients with the irritable colon syndrome, it is not...

Comparison of rectosigmoid myoelectrical activity in the irritable colon syndrome during relapses and remissions.

Taylor, I, Darby, C, Hammond, P

Recent studies have suggested that a high incidence of 0.05 Hz (3 c/m) slow wave electrical activity is present within the rectosigmoid of patients with the irritable colon syndrome during...

Effect of bile acid perfusion on colonic motor function in patients with the irritable colon syndrome.

Taylor, I, Basu, P, Hammond, P, Darby, C, Flynn, M

A study was performed to determine the effect of bile acid perfusion on motility in the sigmoid colon of patients with the irritable colon syndrome compared with normal subjects. Deoxycholic acid (15...

Treatment of a malignant bronchial carcinoid affecting the mediastinum and left atrium by radical two stage resection with cardiopulmonary bypass and somatostatin infusion.

Darby, C, Sinclair, M, Westaby, S

At operation a malignant bronchial carcinoid that had invaded the left atrium produced a carcinoid crisis in a 63 year old woman. A somatostatin infusion was required to resuscitate the heart and...

Cytomegalovirus causing acute colonic pseudo-obstruction in a renal transplant recipient.

Shrestha, B. M., Darby, C., Fergusson, C., Lord, R., Salaman, J. R., Moore, R. H.

A female patient presented with pyrexia and features of large intestinal obstruction, 10 weeks posttransplantation, with biopsy-proven colitis caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV) and positive CMV...
