| [differences in the characteristics of opiate and catecholaminergic receptors of the striatum and cerebral cortex of rats of fisher-344 and wag/gsto strains may cause differences in reinforced action of morphine]. | it has been shown that fischer-344 rats more than wag/gsto inbred rats preferred to consume the solution of morphine. in intravenous self-administration testing, fischer-344 rats had a higher rate of reinforced responses that resulted in morphine infusion. bmax values for mu- and alpha 2-adrenoreceptors were significantly higher in the cortex of wag/gsto rats. the sensitivity of the serotonin and dopamine receptors in the cortex and striatum of wag/gsto rats was lower than that in fischer-344 ra ... | 1992 | 1335799 |
| elevated expression of thymidylate synthase in doxorubicin resistant human non small cell lung carcinomas. | human non-small cell lung carcinomas of previously untreated patients were analyzed for expression of thymidylate synthase (ts) using immunohistochemistry. of the 94 tumors, 67 were positive for ts and 27 negative. a significant correlation between the expression of ts and the resistance to doxorubicin was found (p < 0.0001). eighty-four percent of the ts-positive tumors were resistant to doxorubicin, whereas of the 27 ts-negative tumors only 44 percent were resistant. a group of patients (n = 1 ... | 1992 | 1338282 |
| age-associated reduction in pineal beta-adrenergic receptor density is prevented by life-long food restriction in rats. | at 28 months of age (old rats), male fisher 344 rats which had been fed 40% of the ad libitum food intake since they were 6 months old, had a similar beta-adrenergic receptor density (bmax) in their pineal gland as young, 3-month-old rats. in contrast, old rats which had been fed ad libitum for the same period had approximately 50% of the bmax value compared to that of young rats. the beta-receptor density of cerebral cortical tissue and the beta-receptor affinity (kd) of both the cortex and the ... | 1992 | 1339169 |
| comparison of fetal rabbit brain xenografts to three different strains of athymic nude rats: electrophysiological and immunohistochemical studies of intraocular grafts. | interest in the use of neural tissue transplantation for the study of cns development and maturation and the potential use of this technique for the treatment of certain degenerative cns disorders has led to our use of transplantation of neural tissue across species lines. prior to extensive transplantation studies using athymic rats as recipients, we wished to evaluate the currently available strains of athymic rat for their suitability as host animals for xenografts of neural tissue. fetal cer ... | 1992 | 1344293 |
| neurotransmitter-induced hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis responsiveness is defective in inflammatory disease-susceptible lewis rats: in vivo and in vitro studies suggesting globally defective hypothalamic secretion of corticotropin-releasing hormone. | the susceptibility of female lewis (lew/n) rats to the development of streptococcal cell wall (scw)-induced arthritis and other autoimmune phenomena is associated with the inability of their hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (hpa) axis to adequately respond to inflammatory stimuli. in contrast, resistance to the development of scw-induced arthritis and other inflammatory autoimmune manifestations in histocompatible female fischer rats (f344/n) is related to their intact hpa axis response to inflamm ... | 1992 | 1350069 |

| comparison of the expression, transcription and genomic organization of d2 dopamine receptors in outbred and inbred strains of rat. | three outbred (sprague-dawley, wistar and long-evans) and five inbred (brown-norway, buffalo, da, fisher and lewis) strains of rat were used to investigate the extent of genetic variation in the expression and organization of the rat d2 receptor locus. radioligand binding studies were performed using 125i-iodobenzamide ([125i]ibzm), a high-affinity antagonist for d2 dopamine receptors, to determine the extent of variation in the expression of d2 receptors in these strains of rat. a comparison of ... | 1992 | 1355393 |
| reversal of female mate choice by copying in the guppy (poecilia reticulata). | ever since fisher (1958) formalized models of sexual selection, female mate choice has been assumed to be a genetically determined trait. females, however, may also use social cues to select mates. one such cue might be the mate choice of conspecifics. here we report the first direct evidence that a female's preference for a particular male can in fact be reversed by social cues. in our experiments using the trinidadian guppy (poecilia reticulata), this reversal was mediated by mate-copying oppo ... | 1992 | 1360679 |
| inhibition of two-step urinary bladder carcinogenesis by the somatostatin analogue rc-160. | fisher 344 female rats were exposed for 4 weeks to the initiator carcinogen n-butyl-n-(4-hydroxybutyl)-nitrosamine (bbn) 0.05% in the drinking water and thereafter to the promoter carcinogen mitomycin c (0.08 mg per animal per week) intravesically for 12 weeks. high incidence of urinary bladder transitional cell cancers was observed (17 in situ and 17 invasive carcinomas among 40 rats). when the somatostatin analogue rc-160 (d-phe-cys-tyr-d-trp-lys-val-cys-trp-nh2) was administered s.c. at the d ... | 1992 | 1361084 |
| endophthalmitis at the bristol eye hospital: an 11-year review of 47 patients. | we reviewed data from 47 patients who were treated for endophthalmitis at our hospital during the 11-year period 1980-90. the most common clinical features were hypopyon (75%), diminished vision (72%), ocular pain (68%), discharge (57%), corneal oedema (51%), conjunctival injection (49%), abnormal red reflex (34%), corneal ulcer (32%) and corneal perforation (6%). a total of 54 isolates were obtained from 41 (87%) of the 47 patients. gram-positive bacteria were more common (72%), than gram-negat ... | 1992 | 1363106 |
| modulation of the carbohydrate moiety of thyroglobulin by thyrotropin and calcium in fisher rat thyroid line-5 cells. | thyroglobulin secreted in the medium by fisher rat thyroid line-5 (frtl-5) cells cultured in the presence of thyroid stimulating hormone (tsh) shows a slower electrophoretic mobility in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and a higher density position in a cscl gradient than thyroglobulin secreted by frtl-5 cells cultured in the absence of tsh for 5-7 days. such a tsh effect is much less or not evident when secreted thyroglobulin is digested with peptide n-glycohydrolase f ... | 1992 | 1370485 |
| expression of oncogenic antigen 519 (oa-519) in prostate cancer is a potential prognostic indicator. | predicting the prognosis of patients with prostate cancer is a clinically important problem. previous studies have indicated that the expression of haptoglobin-related protein epitopes in samples of breast cancer in early stages was associated with earlier relapses and higher risk for tumor recurrence. oncogenic antigen 519 (oa-519) is the new marker designation for molecules expressing haptoglobin-related protein epitopes. the objective of this immunohistochemical study was to examine oa-519 ex ... | 1992 | 1374214 |

| a general approach to genetic equilibria with an uneven sex ratio. | it is shown that in a diploid population at a genetic equilibrium with an uneven sex ratio the distribution of all (inertial) autosomal genes is symmetric between the two sexes. if several allelic genes occur in the population then the sex ratios of the various genotypes uniquely determine the uneven population sex ratio. the equilibrium is unstable to invasion by new genes which are relatively more frequent among the less numerous sex. a new proof is given to the fact that if genotype sex ratio ... | 1992 | 1465020 |
| [the physiological reactions to stress in 3 strains of rats]. | we have studied the resistance of wistar, august, fisher male rats to 2- and 24-hours immobilization by vegetative and behavioral reactions. the difference in the resistance has been observed both between the three lines of rats and within one particular line. the lowest resistance to stress has been demonstrated by fisher rats, the highest by wistar rats. the correlation between emotional reactivity of rats and their response to stress has been shown. | 1992 | 1467465 |
| scombroid fish poisoning. underreporting and prevention among noncommercial recreational fishers. | food-borne diseases, including those caused by seafood products, are common and greatly underreported sources of morbidity. in this article we review the epidemiology of scombroid fish poisoning and its possible relationship to the noncommercial and recreational catch and sale of fish. more than 20% of all fish sold in the united states is caught by sport fishers, and outbreaks of scombroid fish poisoning have involved improperly handled fish from private catches. we report an outbreak of scombr ... | 1992 | 1475947 |
| liposuction surgery and autologous fat transplantation. | since the importation of liposuction surgery into the united states more than a decade ago, we have witnessed a number of major technique changes and practice trends occur. one of us (l.m.f.) was the first dermatologic surgeon to undergo the "lipsuction experience" (paris, 1977) under the tutelage of giorgio and arpad fisher and pierre fournier, and another (r.s.n.) the first to undergo training with yves illouz (also paris). all three co-workers have served on teaching faculties of both the int ... | 2005 | 1483255 |
| paroxetine versus placebo: a double-blind comparison in depressed patients. | paroxetine is a potent and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (ssri). the present study assessed the efficacy and tolerability of paroxetine against placebo in depressed outpatients. | 1992 | 1487471 |
| the appearance and role of gamma delta t cells in the peritoneal cavity and liver during primary infection with listeria monocytogenes in rats. | we have previously reported that gamma delta t cells play important roles in protection during the early stage of infection with listeria monocytogenes in mice. to generalize the protective roles of gamma delta t cells in listerial infection to different species, we examined the appearance of gamma delta t cells during infection with l. monocytogenes in fisher f344 rats. the numbers of bacteria in the peritoneal cavity and liver increased to a maximum level on day 3 and then decreased to an unde ... | 1992 | 1489731 |
| [neuroradiology in the physiopathologic diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage--cerebral aneurysm]. | the clinical importance of the cerebral aneurismatic lesion in well known. in portugal we still do not have reliable statistics regarding the occurrence of the subarachnoid hemorrhage, however we can make a comparison through kassel's and drake's studies where they refer that annually 28,000 north-americans suffer from subarachnoid hemorrhage attributed to the rupture of the cerebral aneurysm. this is a clinical situation that needs to be analyzed, more so because if it is not diagnosed and trea ... | 1992 | 1492601 |
| a potential vaccine for cocaine abuse prophylaxis. | presently, there are estimated to be 1.5 to 2.0 million individuals infected with hiv-1 in the u.s. and about 12 million worldwide. in the u.s. over 90% of reported cases of aids occurred among two subgroups, homosexual males and intravenous substance abusers (ivsas). currently, there is no anti-cocaine addiction medication available. in order to explore vaccination as an alternative means for protection against cocaine addition, we immunized inbred male fisher rats with either cocaine emulsific ... | 1992 | 1500284 |
| distinct cellular expression pattern of annexins in hydra vulgaris. | the annexins are a structurally related family of ca2+ and phospholipid binding proteins whose function has not been clearly defined. further investigations of annexin function may be enhanced by studying simpler organisms that express fewer annexin gene products. we previously characterized annexin xii from the freshwater cnidarian hydra vulgaris (schlaepfer, d. d., d. a. fisher, m. e. brandt, h. r. bode, j. jones, and h. t. haigler. 1992. j. biol. chem. 267:9529-9539). in this report, we detec ... | 1992 | 1500430 |
| [extrahepatic bile duct atresia. comparison of surgical and non-surgical therapy]. | in recent years hepatoportoenterostomy according to kasai undoubtedly was the only successful therapy for extrahepatic biliary atresia. since liver-transplantation becomes more successful than previously, the question arises if the kasai procedure is still justified. from this point of view a prospective study was started based on the following findings in 15 ehba-children after hepatoportoenterostomy compared to those in 15 patients without the kasai procedure: the survival rate at the end of t ... | 1992 | 1501618 |
| dental caries in relation to nutritional stress in early english child populations. | this research studied an association between dental caries prevalence in the primary dentition and cribra orbitale, an indicator of nutritional stress in archeological populations. skeletal remains of 221 british children (pre-roman to late medieval) were examined, of whom 100 had orbital material available. dental caries, as dmfs, was related to the presence of cribra orbitale (none, slight, moderate, or severe). thus, data for 50 children showed a statistically significant association (p less ... | 2013 | 1502111 |

| augmentation of the systemic host anti-tumor response through laser excision. | this study examines whether primary laser excision results in augmentation of the systemic host anti-tumor response to tumor rechallenge. single r3230ac mammary tumor implants, (0.5 x 0.5 x 1.0 mm), were grown in 112 female fisher 344 rats. the animals were randomized. group s tumors were excised by scalpel. group e was excised with a surgistat electrocautery (valley labs, boulder, co). group cs was excised with a sharplan 1100 co2 laser (sharplan, allendale, nj) at 25 watts (w) continuous wave ... | 1992 | 1508027 |
| modification of tumor promotion in the mouse skin by exposure to an alternating magnetic field. | some epidemiological studies have suggested that exposure to an alternating magnetic field may increase the incidence of some cancers. our earlier study of carcinogenesis in mouse skin, indicated that exposure to a magnetic field (mf) alone did not promote the growth of tumors. in the present experiment, the ability of a mf to act as a tumor copromoter was investigated. the dorsal skins of female sencar mice (6-7-weeks-old) were treated with 10 nmol of 7,12-dimethylbenzanthracene (dmba) to initi ... | 1992 | 1511404 |
| serum igg antibody to ganglioside gq1b is a possible marker of miller fisher syndrome. | we studied serum anti-glycolipid antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and thin-layer chromatography-enzyme immunoassay in six consecutive patients with typical miller fisher syndrome. in all six, increased activity of igg antibody against ganglioside gq1b was present in the early phase and reduced with time, whereas such activity was not detected in normal control subjects and disease control subjects including those with guillain-barré syndrome. anti-gq1b igg antibody is a new possib ... | 1992 | 1514781 |
| extensor carpi radialis recovery predicted by qualitative sep and clinical examination in quadriplegia. | this prospective study examined the efficacy of the qualitative somatosensory evoked potential (sep) and the initial clinical neurologic evaluation to predict motor power recovery of the extensor carpi radialis muscle (ecr). twenty three c5-6 frankel a-d spinal cord injured (sci) subjects had seps of the median nerve (mn) and superficial radial nerve (srn) performed within 72 hours to one week post injury. the mn and srn cortical seps were qualitatively graded as either present or absent. fiftee ... | 1992 | 1514884 |
| the jeanne manery-fisher memorial lecture 1991. maturation of reticulocytes: formation of exosomes as a mechanism for shedding membrane proteins. | the transferrin receptor is a member of a group of reticulocyte surface proteins that disappear from the membranes of reticulocytes as the cells mature to the erythrocyte stage. the selective loss of membrane proteins appears to be preceded by the formation of multivesicular bodies (mvbs). at the reticulocyte stage, many species of mammalian red cells including man, and one nucleated avian species (chicken), contain these intracellular structures in both natural and induced anemias. also charact ... | 1992 | 1515120 |
| transfer of the tibialis anterior for calcaneus deformity in myelodysplasia. | we evaluated the results of transfer of the tibialis anterior in the management of calcaneus deformity in young patients who had myelodysplasia; fifteen patients (twenty-two feet) were operated on between 1978 and 1985. the neural deficit was at the fourth and fifth lumbar levels. the average age at the time of the operation was seven years and two months (range, two to nineteen years). the average age at the latest follow-up was thirteen years (range, five to twenty-four years). the average dur ... | 2006 | 1522090 |
| syngeneic schwann cells derived from adult nerves seeded in semipermeable guidance channels enhance peripheral nerve regeneration. | at present, clinical strategies to repair injured peripheral nerve concentrate on efforts to attain primary suture of the cut nerve ends. if this is not possible, autografts are used to unite the separated nerve segments. both strategies are based on the recognition that the schwann cells resident in the peripheral nerve trunk play a crucial role in the regenerative process. neither strategy may be feasible, however, in extensive or multiple injuries because the amount of autograft material is l ... | 1992 | 1527582 |
| photoactivated photofrin ii: astrocytic swelling precedes endothelial injury in rat brain. | light activation of circulating hematoporphyrin derivatives has been used in the treatment of selected brain tumors. the effects of this photodynamic therapy on the non-neoplastic, adjacent brain tissue are incompletely characterized. we studied in adult fisher rats the time-dependent (1 hour to 7 days) effects of photoactivated photofrin ii. our protocol was comparable to that used in the treatment of human brain tumors. structural and functional changes spread from the treatment surface and fr ... | 1992 | 1531496 |
| modification of alkylating agent induced cell kill by 2-nitroimidazoles in unclamped and clamped sc 9l tumors. | enhanced cell kill has been observed when experimental tumors were treated with alkylating agents in combination with 2-nitroimidazoles (2-ni). in this study, modification of the cell kill induced by cyclophosphamide (cy) and an analog, ifosfamide (ifo), by two radiation sensitizers, misonidazole (miso) and etanidazole (sr-2508), was measured. three important parameters were determined: (a) the necessity for hypoxic reduction of the 2-ni to achieve an increase in tumor cell kill, (b) the optimal ... | 1992 | 1531976 |
| prevention of prosthetic vascular graft infection by rifampicin impregnation of a protein-sealed dacron graft in combination with parenteral cephalosporin. | antibiotic-impregnated prosthetic vascular grafts have been shown to be highly resistant to bacterial contamination in animal models. the aim of this study was to assess if graft infection in an animal model challenged with local bacterial contamination could be reduced further by the use of rifampicin soaking of a protein-sealed dacron graft in addition to the prophylaxis provided by perioperative intravenous cephalosporin. of 20 merino sheep given cefoxitin intravenously before the induction o ... | 1992 | 1531988 |
| the miller fisher syndrome. review of the literature. | the triad of ataxia, areflexia and ophthalmoplegia was first described as a variant of the guillain-barre syndrome in 1932 by collier. in 1956, miller fisher reported three patients with ataxia, areflexia, and ophthalmoplegia as a separate entity. since then, 223 cases of miller fisher syndrome have been published. the male/female ratio is 2:1 with a mean age of 43.6 years at the onset of the disease. a viral infection preceded the neurological symptoms in 71.8% of cases with an average symptom- ... | 1992 | 1532603 |
| the effects of chronic ethanol consumption on the mesolimbic and nigrostriatal dopamine systems. | both the mesolimbic dopamine system, which is involved with the rewarding properties of several drugs of abuse, and the nigrostriatal dopamine system, which is involved with motor function, appear to be sensitive to the effects of ethanol. in order to determine which components of the mesolimbic and nigrostriatal dopamine systems are adversely affected by chronic ethanol consumption, we assessed dopamine and dopac (3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid) concentration and d1 and d2 receptors in several ... | 1992 | 1534209 |
| impact of histocompatibility antigens on pregnancy outcome. | the role of histocompatibility antigens in pregnancy outcome is controversial. this controversy may be because the initial studies were of small numbers or the patient groups were not homogeneous. the purpose of this study is to clarify these discrepant results by carrying out histocompatibility antigen typing and mixed lymphocyte culture on couples with idiopathic recurrent spontaneous abortion and by comparing results with those of fertile couples. | 1992 | 1534444 |
| macromolecular adduction by trichloroacetonitrile in the fischer 344 rat following oral gavage. | male fisher 344 rats were administered 1- or 2-[14c]trichloroacetonitrile (tcan) by oral gavage. dna was isolated from the liver, kidneys and stomach and several protein fractions (globin, albumin and globulins) were isolated from blood. tcan binds to both the dna and the blood proteins in a dose-related manner. more radiolabel was associated with the dna when the carbon at c2 position was labeled, than at c1 position. however, the position of the radiolabel did not influence the levels of radio ... | 1992 | 1540927 |
| upper extremity strength and function in children with spinal muscular atrophy type ii. | upper extremity strength and function in a sample of ten children with spinal atrophy type ii was determined using manual muscle testing, a sphygmomanometer, and a pinchometer. functional abilities were recorded on self-report forms. overall strength in this sample was determined to be 35% to 40% of normal. repeated-measures analysis of covariance revealed no change with time in proximal or distal strength. six children were capable of at least 1/2 pound of force in pinch or gross grasp vs four ... | 1992 | 1543427 |
| age-related decrease in omega conotoxin binding to rat cardiac synaptosomes. | a cardiac synaptosomal preparation developed by this laboratory was used to study neuronal calcium channels in aging rat heart. ca2+ channels were quantified by measuring binding of iodinated omega conotoxin, which is reported to specifically block neuronal ca2+ channels. we determined the binding of [125i]-omega conotoxin gvia to a synaptosomal preparation from the hearts of 6- and 24-month-old male fisher 344 rats. the maximum number of binding sites (bmax +/- sd, fmol/mg protein) is lower in ... | 1992 | 1549624 |

| a statistical test for detecting geographic subdivision. | a statistical test for detecting genetic differentiation of subpopulations is described that uses molecular variation in samples of dna sequences from two or more localities. the statistical significance of the test is determined with monte carlo simulations. the power of the test to detect genetic differentiation in a selectively neutral wright-fisher island model depends on both sample size and the rates of migration, mutation, and recombination. it is found that the power of the test is subst ... | 1992 | 1552836 |
| comparison of liver glycosylasparaginases from six vertebrates. | structural and physical properties of glycosylasparaginase (ec 3.5.1.26) from the livers of human, pig, cow, rat, mouse and chicken were compared. the enzyme in all species had a common basic structure of two n-glycosylated subunits of about 24 (alpha) and 20 (beta) kda joined by non-covalent forces. subunit-specific antisera against the rat glycosylasparaginase bound specifically and sensitively to the corresponding subunits from all species. identity of 80% of the amino acids was found between ... | 1992 | 1554372 |
| spontaneous transformation of rat ovarian surface epithelial cells: association with cytogenetic changes and implications of repeated ovulation in the etiology of ovarian cancer. | ovarian surface epithelial cells undergo several rounds of division to repair the wound created by follicular rupture at the time of ovulation. this cyclical requirement for cell division, when not interrupted by the long anovulatory rest periods that occur during pregnancy and lactation, may contribute to the development of ovarian cancer. | 1992 | 1556770 |
| response to alarm substance in different rat strains. | two studies were conducted. in the first study, four strains of male rats--long-evans (le), sprague-dawley (sd), wistar, fisher 344--were immersed in fresh water or water soiled by a rat of the same strain which presumably contains an alarm substance. le rats were less immobile than sd, wistar, and fisher rats in fresh water. all strains were significantly less immobile in soiled water; however, relative to immobility times in fresh water, the decrease in immobility in soiled water was greatest ... | 1992 | 1557445 |
| difference of rejection between heart and heart-lung transplantation in rats: flowcytometric analysis of graft infiltrating lymphocyte subsets. | reported clinical and experimental observations indicate that heart grafts in combined heart-lung transplantation are less frequently rejected than heart grafts transplanted alone. in order to elucidate the mechanism of this difference, twenty-eight inbred male lewis rats receiving heterotopic allografts from inbred male fisher rats were evaluated for surface markers of graft infiltrating lymphocytes (gil) and peripheral blood lymphocytes (pbl) using flowcytometry. monoclonal antibodies investig ... | 1992 | 1561904 |
| [the early hemiparesis of stroke in evolution of basilar artery--case report]. | in basilar artery thrombosis, hemiparesis without obvious brainstem signs may precede the tetraplegia with coma or a locked-in state. this premonitory hemiparesis was called as "herald hemiparesis" by fisher (1988). its early detection is important because immediate anticoagulant therapy may prevent its evolution. we reported two patients with such hemiparesis. the first case was a 71-year-old diabetic and hypertensive man who was admitted because of right hemiparesis, dysarthria and decreased s ... | 1992 | 1562385 |
| differential expression of neuropeptide gene mrna within the luq cells of aplysia californica. | two neuropeptide precursor cdnas (luq-1 and l5-67) have been recently isolated from the left upper quadrant (luq) neurons of the abdominal ganglion of aplysia californica (shyamala, fisher, and scheller, 1986; wickham and desgroseillers, 1991). using in situ hybridization techniques as well as dot blot and polymerase chain reaction (pcr) assays, we have studied the expression of these genes in the central nervous system (cns) of aplysia californica. the luq-1 gene was found to be expressed in ne ... | 1992 | 1564457 |
| maternal phenylketonuria collaborative study, obstetric aspects and outcome: the first 6 years. | the purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a phenylalanine-restricted diet in reducing fetal morbidity associated with maternal hyperphenylalaninemia in women of childbearing age with blood phenylalanine levels greater than 240 mumol/l (greater than 4 mg/dl) on an unrestricted diet. | 1992 | 1566767 |
| effects of 6-methylene progesterone on growth, morphology, and blood flow of the dunning r3327 prostatic adenocarcinoma. | copenhagen x fisher f1 rats were implanted with the androgen-dependent dunning r3327 prostatic adenocarcinoma. when the tumors had median volumes of ca 470 mm3, the rats were castrated and/or treated with 6-methylene-4-pregnene-3,20-dione (6mp) in different doses. tumor growth inhibition occurred in all castrated and treated groups, with decrease in volume of the epithelial compartment in the intact group. tumor volumes at the highest dose level of 6mp equalled those observed in the castrate gro ... | 1992 | 1574466 |
| course of motor recovery in the zone of partial preservation in spinal cord injury. | thirty-nine c4 to c6 motor complete frankel a or b spinal cord injured subjects were included in this prospective study to determine the course of recovery in the zone of partial preservation (zpp) during the first 6 months postinjury. subjects had initial manual muscle testing and neurologic examination between 3 and 7 days postinjury. subjects whose most rostral key muscle in the zpp had a motor power of grade 1 or 1+/5 (group 1, n = 22) were compared with subjects whose most rostral key muscl ... | 1992 | 1580770 |
| an evaluation of the sensitivity and specificity of medical thermography for the documentation of myofascial trigger points. | this investigation evaluated the diagnostic value of medical thermology for the documentation of myofascial trigger points. previous investigators have suggested that circumscribed 'hot spots' reflect the thermal activity of trigger points. a total of 365 patients participated in the four separate experiments. upper back trigger points were isolated via palpation. a separate thermographic examination, specific to that experiment, was conducted by a technologist who was blind to the presence or a ... | 1992 | 1589239 |
| the rett syndrome and csf lactic acid patterns. | we investigated both blood and cerebrospinal fluid (csf) lactate and pyruvate levels in seven girls with the rett syndrome (rs) and evaluated the relationship between csf lactate and pyruvate levels and the clinical manifestations, particularly seizures, anticonvulsant medication, and breathing dysfunction including breath holding, apnea and hyperventilation. elevated lactate and pyruvate levels in csf with normal serum lactate were found in two rs patients. elevated csf lactate correlated signi ... | 1992 | 1590531 |
| bickerstaff brainstem encephalitis. a case report. | a 33-year-old woman three weeks after a febrile illness presented with a syndrome of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia (soaa) that characterizes clinically both bickerstaff and miller fisher syndromes. the normality of the electrophysiological tests performed, the csf findings and the magnetic resonance images proved that the syndrome stemmed from brainstem pathology. | 1992 | 1592578 |
| [the miller-fisher syndrome. report of 5 cases]. | miller fisher's syndrome is characterized by the symptomtrias of ophtalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia. five cases of miller fisher syndrome are presented.; the nosological position of this disorder is reviewed. involvement of brainstem is present in some cases--but obviously facultative. | 1992 | 1594088 |
| likelihood-based analyses of longitudinal twin and family data: experiences with pedigree-based approaches. | substantial progress has been made recently in analyses of longitudinal twin and family data, principally for two reasons. the first is the continuing development of more refined models for describing longitudinal data; the second is the widespread availability of analytic methods (e.g. lisrel) with which to implement these models. computational restrictions have limited likelihood-based analyses of longitudinal genetic data to analyses of covariance matrices or mean squares; however, advances i ... | 1992 | 1596260 |
