postoperative care following internal urethrotomy.	a randomized prospective study was set up to assess the role of postoperative catheter drainage and the value of hydraulic self-dilatation of the urethra after internal urethrotomy. sixty-two patients were admitted into the study and followed-up for two years. the results support the use of a no-catheter posturethrotomy management and advocate the encouragement of postoperative hydraulic self-urethral dilatation.	2014	4049610
duodenal perforation associated with tolazoline.	a neonate, managed with tolazoline for pulmonary hypertension after repair of a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, developed a duodenal perforation. the role of tolazoline in this condition is discussed, and possible measures to reduce its gastrointestinal side effects are proposed.	2014	4051547
[subtotal thyroid resection in severe, iodine-induced hyperthyroidism].	iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis due to iodine application in high amounts in patients with circumscript or disseminated thyroid autonomy, is complicated by a prolonged course, mainly due to a resistance to conservative therapy with thiourea derivates. we therefore decided to perform an early subtotal thyroidectomy in 24 thyrotoxic patients. this measure is in contrast to the common opinion that surgery should only be performed after normalization of thyroid hormones. in all 24 patients with severe ...	2014	4053769
efficacy of trazodone in narcolepsy.	a 25-year-old man with narcolepsy and cataplexy experienced partial relief of symptomatology following administration of methylphenidate. moreover, the latter caused extreme agitation and aggression. however, administration of the antidepressant agent trazodone resulted in almost complete alleviation of the narcoleptic and cataplectic attacks within 48 h after initiation of therapy. trazodone, a novel antidepressant agent may be useful in the long-term management of individuals suffering from na ...	1985	4054183
andrew's liver salt as an effervescent in upper gastrointestinal radiography.	double-contrast radiography is widely used for examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract. however, it is not practiced routinely in many developing areas, partly because of high cost of the effervescent agents. in a series of 300 upper gastrointestinal tract investigations, andrew's liver salt has proven to be an effective effervescent, releasing adequate gas in more than 80% of the examinations. it disintegrates rapidly with minimal bubble formation and no artifacts. it has high patient a ...	2014	4054498
