Is amniotic fluid intercellular adhesion molecule-1 a marker for Ureaplasma infection in women with preterm labor?
Amniotic fluid soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 concentrations exceeding 1290 ng/ml can be used as a marker for intra-amniotic infection with Ureaplasma in patients with preterm labor.
A 4-hour aeromedical evacuation at a simulated flight altitude of 8,000 ft caused a notable reduction in neurophysiologic parameters compared with normobaric conditions in this TBI swine model. Results suggest that hypobaric conditions exacerbate cerebral hypoxia and may worsen TBI in casualties already in critical condition.
