| differential depression of hypoglossal nerve activity by alcohol. protection by pretreatment with medroxyprogesterone acetate. | upper airway obstruction during sleep occurs more commonly in men than in women and has been treated with progestational agents with some success. alcohol ingestion exacerbates sleep apnea, and recent studies have established that alcohol depresses the respiratory motor activity to upper airway muscles more than that to the diaphragm, a response pattern that favors upper airway obstruction during inspiration. to investigate the possibility that progesterone provides some protection from this act ... | 1986 | 2935056 |
| i.v. sedation for conservative dentistry. a comparison of midazolam and diazepam. | midazolam and the emulsion formulation of diazepam were compared in a cross-over study in 50 patients undergoing out-patient conservative dentistry, with particular regard to sedation and the quality of recovery. both agents proved effective, but sedation was achieved more rapidly with midazolam (p = 0.001) and was more effective (p less than 0.02). significantly greater anterograde amnesia for the dental procedure (p less than 0.001) and a more rapid return to normal activities (p less than 0.0 ... | 2010 | 2937434 |
| [temporary minimal esophagostomy in the surgical treatment of malignant esophago-respiratory fistulas]. | oesophago-bronchial and oesophago-pleural fistulae are serious complications of oesophageal cancers. they occur earlier than is generally believed and, if untreated, result in death caused by septic and respiratory complications. an original two-stage surgical method is reported and illustrated by 3 cases. the first stage consists of excluding the oesophagus at both ends and introducing, through a small oesophagostomy, a foley's catheter to aspirate the secretions; the cardia is excluded by stap ... | 2010 | 2938171 |

| ultrastructural changes in the sarcoplasmic reticulum in acute myocardial ischemia. | we investigated the morphologic changes in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (sr) in acute myocardial ischemia, induced by occlusion of the coronary artery in the canine heart, by freeze-fracture of sr in situ and in vitro, and they were compared to the alterations in ca++-stimulated atpase activity and protein composition of the isolated sr. both sr in situ and the isolated sr exhibited typical intramembranous particles with diameters of 70 to 90 a in freeze-fracture replicas. the intramembranous part ... | 1986 | 2948034 |
| regulation of autoimmune disease physiological and therapeutic. | an important question is how the immune system can control the behavior of autoimmune effector lymphocytes. my colleagues and i have investigated this question in four models. three models of organ specific autoimmune diseases were studied using the specific autoimmune lines or clones of t lymphocytes functionally involved in the disease process. the fourth model was an anti-idiotypic network triggered spontaneously by autoantibodies. this article reviews the evidence indicating that healthy ind ... | 2010 | 2948901 |
