Abstract
Research using the integrated model of metacognition has suggested that the construct of metacognition could quantify the spectrum of activities that, if impaired, might cause many of the subjective disturbances found in psychosis. Research on social cognition and mentalizing in psychosis, however, has also pointed to underlying deficits in how persons make sense of their experience of themselves and others. To explore the question of whether metacognitive research in psychosis offers unique insight in the midst of these other two emerging fields, we have offered a review of the constructs and research from each field. Following that summary, we discuss ways in which research on metacognition may be distinguished from research on social cognition and mentalizing in three broad categories: (1) experimental procedures, (2) theoretical advances, and (3) clinical applications or indicated interventions. In terms of its research methods, we will describe how metacognition makes a unique contribution to understanding disturbances in how persons make sense of and interpret their own experiences within the flow of life. We will next discuss how metacognitive research in psychosis uniquely describes an architecture which when compromised - as often occurs in psychosis - results in the loss of persons' sense of purpose, possibilities, place in the world and cohesiveness of self. Turning to clinical issues, we explore how metacognitive research offers an operational model of the architecture which if repaired or restored should promote the recovery of a coherent sense of self and others in psychosis. Finally, we discuss the concrete implications of this for recovery-oriented treatment for psychosis as well as the need for further research on the commonalities of these approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Infarct volume is an important predictor of clinical outcome in acute stroke. We hypothesized that the association of infarct volume and clinical outcome changes with the magnitude of infarct size. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data were derived from the Safety and Efficacy of Nerinetide in Subjects Undergoing Endovascular Thrombectomy for Stroke (ESCAPE-NA1) trial, in which patients with acute stroke with large-vessel occlusion were randomized to endovascular treatment plus either nerinetide or a placebo. Infarct volume was manually segmented on 24-hour noncontrast CT or DWI. The relationship between infarct volume and good outcome, defined as mRS 0-2 at 90 days, was plotted. Patients were categorized on the basis of visual grouping at the curve shoulders of the infarct volume/outcome plot. The relationship between infarct volume and adjusted probability of good outcome was fitted with linear or polynomial functions as appropriate in each group. RESULTS We included 1099 individuals in the study. Median infarct volume at 24 hours was 24.9 mL (interquartile range [IQR] = 6.6-92.2 mL). On the basis of the infarct volume/outcome plot, 4 infarct volume groups were defined (IQR = 0-15 mL, 15.1-70 mL, 70.1-200 mL, >200 mL). Proportions of good outcome in the 4 groups were 359/431 (83.3%), 219/337 (65.0%), 71/201 (35.3%), and 16/130 (12.3%), respectively. In small infarcts (IQR = 0-15 mL), no relationship with outcome was appreciated. In patients with intermediate infarct volume (IQR = 15-200 mL), there was progressive importance of volume as an outcome predictor. In infarcts of > 200 mL, outcomes were overall poor. CONCLUSIONS The relationship between infarct volume and clinical outcome varies nonlinearly with the magnitude of infarct size. Infarct volume was linearly associated with decreased chances of achieving good outcome in patients with moderate-to-large infarcts, but not in those with small infarcts. In very large infarcts, a near-deterministic association with poor outcome was seen.

Abstract
NDRA emits geogenic dusts that are comprised of a mineral-metal mixture. Exposure to NDRA geogenic dusts suppressed immune function in a mouse model. Similar desert surfaces emit dust in southern Nevada and elsewhere in the world. This study represents a desert environment; dust composition may vary by source.
Systemic health effects from exposure to a complex natural dust containing heavy metals from the Nellis Dunes Recreation Area (NDRA) near Las Vegas, NV, were evaluated. Several toxicological parameters were examined following lung exposure to emissive dust from three geologic sediment types heavily used for recreational off-road activities: yellow sand very rich in arsenic (termed CBN 5); a shallow cover of loose dune sand overlying a gravelly subsoil bordering dune fields (termed CBN 6); and brown claystone and siltstone (termed CBN 7). Adult female B6C3F1 mice were exposed by oropharyngeal administration to these three types of geogenic dusts at 0.01–100 mg of dust/kg of body weight, once per week for four weeks. The median grain sizes were 4.6, 3.1, and 4.4 μm, for CBN 5, 6, and 7, respectively. Each type of dust contained quantifiable amounts of aluminum, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, copper, zinc, arsenic, strontium, cesium, lead, uranium, and others. Descriptive markers of immunotoxicity, neurotoxicity, hematology, and clinical chemistry parameters were assessed. Notable among all three CBN units was a systemic, dose-responsive decrease in antigen-specific IgM antibody responses. Geogenic dust from CBN 5 produced more than a 70% suppression in IgM responses, establishing a lowest adverse effect level (LOAEL) of 0.01 mg/kg. A suppression in IgM responses and a corresponding increase in serum creatinine determined a LOAEL of 0.01 mg/kg for CBN 6. The LOAEL for CBN 7 was 0.1 mg/kg and also was identified from suppression in IgM responses. These results are of concern given the frequent off-road vehicle traffic and high visitor rates at the NDRA, estimated at 300,000 each year.

Abstract
On November 9 and 10, 2015, the International Conference on Mesothelioma in Populations Exposed to Naturally Occurring Asbestiform Fibers was held at the University of Hawaii Cancer Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. The meeting was cosponsored by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, and the agenda was designed with significant input from staff at the U.S. National Cancer Institute and National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. A multidisciplinary group of participants presented updates reflecting a range of disciplinary perspectives, including mineralogy, geology, epidemiology, toxicology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, public health, and clinical oncology. The group identified knowledge gaps that are barriers to preventing and treating malignant mesothelioma (MM) and the required next steps to address barriers. This manuscript reports the group’s efforts and focus on strategies to limit risk to the population and reduce the incidence of MM. Four main topics were explored: genetic risk, environmental exposure, biomarkers, and clinical interventions. Genetics plays a critical role in MM when the disease occurs in carriers of germline BRCA1 associated protein 1 mutations. Moreover, it appears likely that, in addition to BRCA1 associated protein 1, other yet unknown genetic variants may also influence the individual risk for development of MM, especially after exposure to asbestos and related mineral fibers. MM is an almost entirely preventable malignancy as it is most often caused by exposure to commercial asbestos or mineral fibers with asbestos-like health effects, such as erionite. In the past in North America and in Europe, the most prominent source of exposure was related to occupation. Present regulations have reduced occupational exposure in these countries; however, some people continue to be exposed to previously installed asbestos in older construction and other settings. Moreover, an increasing number of people are being exposed in rural areas that contain noncommercial asbestos, erionite, and other mineral fibers in soil or rock (termed naturally occurring asbestos [NOA]) and are being developed. Public health authorities, scientists, residents, and other affected groups must work together in the areas where exposure to asbestos, including NOA, has been documented in the environment to mitigate or reduce this exposure. Although a blood biomarker validated to be effective for use in screening and identifying MM at an early stage in asbestos/ NOA-exposed populations is not currently available, novel biomarkers presented at the meeting, such as high mobility group box 1 and fibulin-3, are promising. There was general agreement that current treatment for MM, which is based on surgery and standard chemotherapy, has a modest effect on the overall survival (OS), which remains dismal. Additionally, although much needed novel therapeutic approaches for MM are being developed and explored in clinical trials, there is a critical need to invest in prevention research, in which there is a great opportunity to reduce the incidence and mortality from MM.

Abstract
This project developed from studies demonstrating that Libby Amphibole Asbestos (LAA) causes a non-typical set of health outcomes not generally reported for asbestos, including systemic autoimmunity and an unusual and devastating lamellar pleural thickening that progresses to severe pulmonary dysfunction and death. Further, mineral fiber mixtures with some similarities to LAA have recently been discovered in southern Nevada and northwestern Arizona, where the material exists in extensive recreational areas and is present in yards, roads, parking lots and school yards. The objective was to compare the health outcomes in mice exposed to either LAA or the fibrous amphiboles collected in Arizona at the Lake Mead National Recreational Area at very low doses to represent environmental exposures. In this study, the fibrous amphibole asbestos sample from Arizona (AzA) is composed of winchite (69%), actinolite (22%), and non-amphibole minerals (9%) and has a mean aspect ratio of 16.7±0.9. Fibrous amphibole asbestos from Libby (LAA) is composed of winchite (70%), richterite (9%), tremolite (5%), and non-amphibole minerals (16%) with a mean aspect ratio of 8.4±0.7. C57BL/6 mice were exposed by oropharyngeal aspiration to fiber suspensions at a very low dose of 3μg/mouse. After seven months, both LAA- and AzA-exposed mice had indices of chronic immune dysfunction related to a TH17 cytokine profile, with B cell activation, autoantibody production and proteinuria, suggesting kidney involvement. In addition, both exposures led to significant lung and pleural fibrosis. These data suggest that there is risk of pulmonary disease and autoimmune outcomes with environmental exposure to amphibole asbestos, and that this is not limited to Libby, Montana.

Abstract
Atmospheric geogenic dust comprised of a mineral-metal mixture is a source of exposure in Clark County, Nevada. Lung exposures over a period of one month to NDRA atmospheric geogenic dust suppressed immune function in a mouse model. Similar geological desert surfaces emit dust in southern Nevada and elsewhere in the world. This study is representative of a desert environment; dust composition may vary by source.
Desert areas are usually characterized by a continuous deposition of fine airborne particles. Over time, this process results in the accumulation of silt and clay on desert surfaces. We evaluated health effects associated with regional atmospheric dust, or geogenic dust, deposited on surfaces in the Nellis Dunes Recreation Area (NDRA) in Clark County, Nevada, a popular off-road vehicle (ORV) recreational site frequented daily by riders, families, and day campers. Because of atmospheric mixing and the mostly regional origin of the accumulated particles, the re-suspended airborne dust is composed of a complex mixture of minerals and metals including aluminum, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, copper, zinc, arsenic, strontium, cesium, lead, uranium, and others. Geogenic dust with a median diameter of 4.1 μm was administered via oropharyngeal aspiration to female B6C3F1 mice at doses of 0.01 to 100 mg dust/kg body weight, four times, a week apart, for 28-days. Immuno- and neurotoxicological outcomes 24 h following the last exposure were evaluated. Antigen-specific IgM responses were dose-responsively suppressed at 0.1, 1.0, 10 and 100 mg/kg/day. Splenic and thymic lymphocytic subpopulations and natural killer cell activity also were significantly reduced. Antibodies against MBP, NF-68, and GFAP were not affected, while brain CD3+ T cells were decreased in number. A lowest observed adverse effect level (LOAEL) of 0.1 mg/kg/day and a no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of 0.01 mg/kg/day were derived based on the antigen-specific IgM responses.

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate markers of systemic oxidative stress and lung histopathology following subacute exposure to geogenic dust with varying heavy metal content collected from a natural setting prone to wind erosion and used heavily for off-road vehicle recreation. Adult female B6C3F1 mice were exposed to several concentrations of dust collected from seven different types of surfaces at the Nellis Dunes Recreation Area in Clark County, Nevada, designated here as CBN 1-7. Dust representing each of the seven surface types, with an average median diameter of 4.2 μm, was selected and administered via oropharyngeal aspiration to mice at concentrations from 0.01 to 100 mg of dust kg(-1) of body weight. Exposures were given four times spaced a week apart over a 28 day period to mimic a month of weekend exposures. Lung pathology was evaluated while plasma markers of oxidative stress included levels of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, superoxide dismutase, total antioxidant capacity and total glutathione. Overall, results of these assays to evaluate markers of oxidative stress indicate that no single CBN surface type was able to consistently induce markers of systemic oxidative stress at a particular dose or in a dose-response manner. All surface types were able to induce some level of lung inflammation, typically at the highest exposure levels. These data suggest that dust from the Nellis Dunes Recreation Area may present a potential health risk, but additional studies are necessary to characterize the full extent of health risks to humans.

Abstract
Exposure to geogenic particulate matter (PM) comprised of mineral particles has been linked to human health effects. However, very little data exist on health effects associated with geogenic dust exposure in natural settings. Therefore, we characterized particulate matter size, metal chemistry, and health effects of dust collected from the Nellis Dunes Recreation Area (NDRA), a popular off-road vehicle area located near Las Vegas, NV. Adult female B6C3F1 mice were exposed to several concentrations of mineral dust collected from active and vegetated sand dunes in NDRA. Dust samples (median diameter: 4.4 μm) were suspended in phosphate-buffered saline and delivered at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 100 mg dust/kg body weight by oropharyngeal aspiration. ICP-MS analyses of total dissolution of the dust resulted in aluminum (55,090 μg/g), vanadium (70 μg/g), chromium (33 μg/g), manganese (511 μg/g), iron (21,600 μg/g), cobalt (9.4 μg/g), copper (69 μg/g), zinc (79 μg/g), arsenic (62 μg/g), strontium (620 μg/g), cesium (13 μg/g), lead 25 μg/g) and uranium (4.7 μg/g). Arsenic was present only as As(V). Mice received four exposures, once/week over 28-days to mimic a month of weekend exposures. Descriptive and functional assays to assess immunotoxicity and neurotoxicity were performed 24 h after the final exposure. The primary observation was that 0.1 to 100 mg/kg of this sand dune derived dust dose-responsively reduced antigen-specific IgM antibody responses, suggesting that dust from this area of NDRA may present a potential health risk.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungTumoren mit Skelettmuskeldifferenzierung sind bei den Haussäugetieren nur sehr selten zu beobachten. Es werden benigne Rhabdomyome von malignen Rhabdomyosarkomen unterschieden. Bei einem weiblichen Kalb der Rasse Deutsche Holstein wurde eine kongenitale, kugelförmige Umfangsvermehrung lateral in der Unterhaut des Kopfes festgestellt. Histologisch bestand die abgekapselte, expansive, zellreiche Umfangsvermehrung aus einem retikulären Maschenwerk kleiner, mäßig pleomorpher, spindelförmiger bis rundlicher Zellen in einem fibrovaskulären bis myxoiden Stroma sowie multifokalen, großen, plumpen, mehrkernigen, Myotuben-ähnlichen Zellen (strap cells). Mittels elektronenmikroskopischer Untersuchung wurden in den strap cells charakteristische zytoplasmatische Bündel von Myofilamenten und Z-Streifen nachgewiesen. Die kleinen spindelförmigen Zellen zeigten eine Immunreaktivität für Vimentin und die strap cells für Desmin. Die vorliegenden Ergebnisse entsprechen dem Befundspektrum eines bovinen kongenitalen embryonalen Rhabdomyosarkoms.

Abstract
Tumours with skeletal-muscle differentiation are rare in companion animals. They are differentiated into benign rhabdomyomas and malignant rhabdomyosarcomas. A female German Holstein calf displayed a congenital, spherical, subcutaneous mass at the lateral side of the head. Histology revealed an encapsulated, expansile, highly cellular mass consisting of a reticular meshwork of moderately pleomorphic, small spindle-shaped to round cells within a fibrovascular to myxoid stroma as well as multifocal, large, blunt, multinucleated myotube-like cells (strap cells). Electron microscopy demonstrated characteristic cytoplasmic bundles of myofilaments and Z-stripes within the strap cells. Immunoreactivity for vimentin was observed in the small spindle-shaped cells and for desmin in the strap cells. The results are consistent with the spectrum of findings characteristic for a bovine congenital embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.

Abstract
Soil analyses and measurements with the Portable In Situ Wind Erosion Laboratory (PI-SWERL) were conducted on 16 soil types in an area heavily affected by off-road vehicle (ORV) driving. Measurements were performed in ORV trails as well as on undisturbed terrain to investigate how ORV driving affects the vulnerability of a soil to emit PM10 (particles<10microm), during the driving as well as during episodes of wind erosion. Particular attention is paid to how the creation of a new trail affects those properties of the topsoil that determine its capability to emit PM10. Also, recommendations are given for adequate management of ORV-designed areas. The type of surface (sand, silt, gravel, drainage) is a key factor with respect to dust emission in an ORV trail. Trails in sand, defined in this study as the grain size fraction 63-2000microm, show higher deflation thresholds (the critical wind condition at which wind erosion starts) than the surrounding undisturbed soil. Trails in silt (2-63microm) and in drainages, on the other hand, have lower deflation thresholds than undisturbed soil. The increase in PM10 emission resulting from the creation of a new ORV trail is much higher for surfaces with silt than for surfaces with sand. Also, the creation of a new trail in silt decreases the supply limitation in the top layer: the capacity of the reservoir of emission-available PM10 increases. For sand the situation is reversed: the supply limitation increases, and the capacity of the PM10 reservoir decreases. Finally, ORV trails are characterized by a progressive coarsening of the top layer with time, but the speed of coarsening is much lower in trails in silt than in trails in sand or in drainages. The results of this study suggest that, to minimize emissions of PM10, new ORV fields should preferably be designed on sandy terrain rather than in silt areas or in drainages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prestroke statin use may improve ischemic stroke outcomes, yet there is also evidence that statins and extremely low cholesterol levels may increase the risk of intracranial hemorrhage. We evaluated the independent effect of statin use and admission cholesterol level on risk of symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation (sHT) after recanalization therapy for acute ischemic stroke. METHODS We analyzed ischemic stroke patients recorded in a prospectively maintained registry that received recanalization therapies (IV or intra-arterial fibrinolysis or endovascular embolectomy) at a university medical center from September 2002 to May 2006. The independent effect of premorbid statin use on sHT post intervention was evaluated by logistic regression, adjusting for prognostic and treatment variables known to predict increased HT risk after ischemic stroke. RESULTS Among 104 patients, mean age was 70 years, and 49% were men. Male sex, hypertension, statin use, low total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, current smoking, elevated glucose levels, and higher admission NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score were all associated with a greater risk of sHT in univariate analysis. After adjusting for covariates, low LDL cholesterol (odds ratio [OR], 0.968 per 1-mg/dL increase; 95% CI, 0.941 to 0.995), current smoking (OR, 14.568; 95% CI, 1.590 to 133.493), and higher NIHSS score (OR, 1.265 per 1-point increase; 95% CI, 1.047 to 1.529) were independently associated with sHT risk. CONCLUSIONS Lower admission low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level with or without statin use, current smoking, and greater stroke severity are associated with greater risk for symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation after recanalization therapy for ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Although bariatric surgery can be an appropriate treatment option for extremely obese patients, uncertainty exists as to how to optimize treatment outcomes. This article describes a coordinated multidisciplinary program designed to educate and behaviorally prepare patients for bariatric surgery and to support long-term behavioral change.Key aspects of our program include adequate preoperative obesity-related assessment, including nutritional, psychosocial, and physical assessment; emphasis on preoperative behavior change; changing the inpatient surgical treatment care path to decrease the length of hospital stay; and providing long-term management by using enhanced clinical decision support that includes Intranet-based practice resources embedded in the electronic medical record. Self-care is facilitated through group classes and support groups.A multidisciplinary bariatric program optimizes short- and long-term postoperative success and maximizes the safety and cost-effectiveness of bariatric surgery.

Abstract
We have recently obtained the optimal core-cluster decompositions for an extensive set of heavy even-even nuclei in the rare-earth region. The core-cluster charge products thus deduced are found to be closely correlated with the corresponding B(E2) values. We investigate here the strong resemblance of these correlations to the corresponding Casten plots, and find that the cluster model also predicts a further correlation between core-cluster charge products and the nuclear excitation energies, suggesting a new form of Casten plot for these energies.

Abstract
Restriction of all dietary fat is a popular strategy for restricting saturated fat intake to lower LDL cholesterol. Some authorities advise the restriction of fat intake to the extreme of less than 10% of daily energy on the assumption that more fat restriction is better. The two studies described herein address questions relating to whether increasing fat restriction produces proportionally increasing benefit on cardiovascular risk factors in hyperlipidemic subjects. The first study is the Dietary Alternatives Study (DAS). The DAS was conducted in 531 male Boeing employees over a 2-year period. Subjects were defined as hypercholesterolemic (HC) or combined hyperlipidemic (CHL) based on age-specific 75th percentiles for plasma LDL-C and triglyceride levels. Hypothesis test analyses were performed at 1 year. HC subjects were randomized to diets taught to attain fat intakes of 30, 26, 22, and 18% (Diets levels 1-4, respectively). CHL subjects (slightly fewer in number) were randomized to Diets 1-3. After 1 year, subjects' total fat intakes were 27, 26, 25, and 22% of energy (en%), resulting in saturated fat intakes of 8, 7, 7, and 6%, respectively. In HC subjects the greatest LDL-C decrease was with Diet 2 (mean of 13.4%) and in CHL subjects with Diet 1 (7.0%). Surprisingly, plasma triglyceride concentrations rose in HC subjects 20% and 40% above baseline on Diets 3 and 4, respectively, with reciprocal reductions in HDL cholesterol of 2.5% and 3%, respectively. Furthermore, apo B reductions were attenuated below Diet 2 in HC subjects and Diet 1 in CHL subjects, and no further reductions were seen in plasma glucose and insulin concentrations, blood pressure, or body weight. Measurements of plasma total fatty acid composition showed a slight increase in plasma palmitate, whereas stearate decreased slightly, supporting the idea that de novo synthesis of palmitic acid was increased in the chronic high-carbohydrate feeding condition. The second study asked if the most effective diet in HC subjects, Diet 2, has an equivalent effect in women and men. To answer this question, men and women Boeing employees were taught the closely similar National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Step II diet. After 6 and 12 months, equivalent reductions in LDL cholesterol were observed in women compared with men. HDL cholesterol levels in men were unchanged from baseline at 6 and 12 months, but were reduced 8% in HC women, with accompanying decreases of 18% in HDL2-cholesterol and 5% in apoprotein A-I (all P < 0.01). These data indicate that intakes of fat below about 25 en% and carbohydrate intake above approximately 60 en% yield no further LDL-C lowering in HC and CHL male subjects and can be counterproductive to triglyceride, HDL-C, and apo B levels. This lack of benefit appears to be explained by an enhanced endogenous synthesis of palmitic acid, which negates the benefit of further saturated fat restriction. The HDL-C decrease in HC women may have a similar cause and points to an underlying male-female difference. Alternative dietary approaches to limit saturated fat intake deserve intensive study.

Abstract
We determined topographic selectivity and diagnostic utility of brain atrophy in probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) and correlations with demographic factors such as age, sex, and education. Computerized imaging analysis techniques were applied to MR images in 32 patients with probable AD and 20 age- and sex-matched normal control subjects using tissue segmentation and three-dimensional surface rendering to obtain individualized lobar volumes, corrected for head size by a residualization technique. Group differences emerged in gray and white matter compartments particularly in parietal and temporal lobes. Logistic regression demonstrated that larger parietal and temporal ventricular CSF compartments and smaller temporal gray matter predicted AD group membership with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.92. On multiple regression analysis using age, sex, education, duration, and severity of cognitive decline to predict regional atrophy in the AD subjects, sex consistently entered the model for the frontal, temporal, and parietal ventricular compartments. In the parietal region, for example, sex accounted for 27% of the variance in the parietal CSF compartment and years of education accounted for an additional 15%, with women showing less ventricular enlargement and individuals with more years of education showing more ventricular enlargement in this region. Topographic selectivity of atrophic changes can be detected using quantitative volumetry and can differentiate AD from normal aging. Differential effects of sex and years of education can also be detected by these methods. Quantification of tissue volumes in vulnerable regions offers the potential for monitoring longitudinal change in response to treatment.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury is well documented in Down syndrome, and is commonly associated with atlantoaxial instability and ligamentous laxity. A case of partial Down syndrome is presented in which a cervical spine injury resulted in an incomplete quadriplegia. Possible factors leading to increased risk of SCI in partial Down syndrome are ligamentous laxity, atlantoaxial subluxation or odontoid abnormalities, neck inflammatory changes, and age below eight years.

Abstract
In the nonanesthetized rat, the jejunal permeability to four simultaneously administered molecules, mannitol, phenol red, inulin and PVP, was measured by analyzing blood, serum, urine and duodenal fluid for these compounds. Of the molecules which had entered the body, approximately 50% were found in the urine, another 50% in the extracellular space and only about 1% were excreted into the duodenal juice. The intracellular content of the molecules is not accounted for in these numbers. The rate of permeation decreased with increasing molecular weight of the substances. EDTA (25 mmol/l) and deoxycholate (5 mmol/l) increased the jejunal permeability for these molecules but not for mannitol. The alterations in mucosal cell turnover and morphology induced by hydroxyurea did not change jejunal permeability for mannitol and phenol red at any time. 24 and 48 h following hydroxyurea, jejunal permeability for inulin and PVP was decreased.

Abstract
A six year-old girl presented with acute oliguric renal failure, secondary to acute, non-obstructive pyelonephritis. Evidence for pyelonephritis as the cause of renal failure included: the evolution of typical changes on serial intravenous pyelograms, an acute interstitial inflammatory exudate on percutaneous renal biopsy, and gram-positive cocci on gram stain of the biopsy tissue. Although a specific causative organism was not conclusively identified, enterococcus was isolated from the initial catheterized urine specimen. The patient recovered from the acute illness but was left with impaired renal function, hypertension, and cortical scarring. Acute, non-obstructive pyelonephritis can produce acute renal failure in children and must be considered in the differential diagnosis of this syndrome.
