Primary Sternal Osteomyelitis

Biochemical Aspects of Cholinergic Transmission in Insect Central Nervous System

“…Isoelectric focusing of the receptor fraction indicated that the binding material has a PI of 4.8, a value similar to that for the eel nicotinic receptor (Biesecker, 1973). The fly head receptor protein has a mol.wt.…”

Primary Sternal Osteomyelitis with Bacteremia and Distal Seeding

“…An elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein can aid diagnosis, although they are nonspecific. Blood cultures inconsistently demonstrate microbial growth (9). Concentrations of calcium, phosphate, and alkaline phosphatase are normal in osteomyelitis.…”

Primary sternal osteomyelitis: a case series and review of the literature

“…In adults, it occurs typically secondary to an underlying predisposition, such as immunodeficiency, IV drug abuse [1], acne fulminans, or planoplantar pustulosis [2]. Only 11 pediatric cases have previously been reported in literature [2][3][4][5][6][7]. Of these, 5 children had sickle cell disease, and the causative organism was Salmonella typhi [3].…”
