and pharmaceuticals. In healthcare, knowing the CFU is crucial for diagnosing infections. For example, if a patient has a urinary tract infection, a urine culture indicating a high CFU of a specific bacterium can confirm an infection that needs treatment. ...
A false-negative rate of 6% to 20% with the culture-independent tests does not qualify them to supplant urine culture; however, many clinicians recommend that acutely dysuric nonpregnant women be treated without a culture. In pregnancy, the acutely dysuric women should always have a culture ...
At 10% (v/v) in culture medium. † Mean colony count of duplicate dishes. There was no colony formation by either bone marrow aspirate in the absence of the colony-stimulating preparations. Cell morphology was examined by picking individual colonies by Pasteur pipette, placing them on a micr...
Indeed, several patients with extremely high levels of apparently normal circulating granulocytes have been shown to have tumors which over-produce CSFs. In one case, upon surgical removal of the tumor, the granulocyte count rapidly declined towards a normal level, strongly suggesting that CSFs may...
Data on cell count, inflammatory index, renal function/injury, and CD133+ cell mobilization were analyzed. The result demonstrated that pretreatment by G-CSF resulted in tremendous increase in the number of mouse peripheral blood and renal CD133+ cells, significantly reduces renal tissue inflammation...
3,13 When administered to normal subjects, G-CSF causes a rapid dose-dependent increase in the neutrophil count, beginning within 2 hours and peaking at approximately 12 hours.95 This phenomenon is the result of the rapid release of neutrophils from the marrow storage pool into the blood....
