clinical significance of the immunological tests in rheumatoid arthritis.	of the many theoretical causes of rheumatoid arthritis(ra), the most widely held theory is the autoimmune mechanism. in order to clarify the clinical significance of the immunological tests in ra, we studied immunoglobulin and complement levels in sera and synovial fluids of 118 ra patients and the following results were obtained. 1) the levels of immunoglobulins were elevated in both serum and synovial fluid and this was more prominent in the seropositive cases than the seronegative ones. 2) th ...	2009	2741472
gastroparesis following traumatic brain injury and response to metoclopramide therapy.	most studies on nutrition in patients with traumatic brain injury (tbi) have focused on the hypermetabolic state immediately after trauma, or the swallowing disorders that frequently follow acute tbi. a less well-known sequela, however, is gastroparesis, which generally manifests itself when patients have advanced from nasogastric to oral feeding programs. case histories of four patients are reported, all of whom responded to therapeutic intervention with metoclopramide. results of a radionuclid ...	2009	2742474
'catatonia' due to disulfiram toxicity.	in an alcoholic patient, catatonia developed while he was receiving disulfiram (antabuse). resolution of the question whether his state was classically catatonic required a detailed review of the literature on the subject. the conclusion reached is that the original definition still holds for psychiatric illness, but application of the term to neurological and metabolic states has often been based on imprecise criteria and failure to consider akinetic mutism and extrapyramidal motor disturbances ...	2009	2742552
endogenous serum albumin content in brain after short-lasting epileptic seizures.	epileptic seizures can transiently alter the blood-brain barrier. we have determined the content of extravasated endogenous serum albumin in the brain and its change with time after bicuculline (0.3 mg/kg) induced epileptic seizures of a few minutes' duration in conscious rats. the brains were perfused with saline in situ 5 min, 2 h, 24 h, 3 or 7 days after the injection of bicuculline. the content of endogenous serum albumin in the cerebral cortex, diencephalon, mesencephalon, pons and cerebell ...	1989	2743155
