closed head injuries: where does delay occur in the process of transfer to neurosurgical care?	in the united kingdom most head injury patients are first admitted to a district general hospital (dgh); selected patients are later referred to a neurosurgical unit (nsu). it is known that this system leads to some avoidable deaths. in an attempt to discover whether the minimum amount of time involved in such a system of secondary referral must of necessity put some patients at risk, and whether any significant delay could be eliminated without radical change in this system, we have carried out ...	2009	2789707
sciatic nerve regeneration in the rat. validity of walking track assessment in the presence of chronic contractures.	the ability of the walking track assessment of sciatic nerve function to correlate with results of a nerve repair has been well documented following acute nerve injury and after recovery of the nerve following nerve repair. the long-term effects of partial denervation upon the lower extremity of the rat include the development of chronic contractures due to residual partial muscle paralysis and imbalance. the present study evaluated the ability of the walking track technique to portray accuratel ...	1989	2796718
cerebral vascular malformations: applications of magnetic resonance imaging to differential diagnosis.	twelve patients with cerebral vascular malformations (5 cavernous angiomas, 1 thrombosed arteriovenous malformation, and 6 venous angiomas) were studied with magnetic resonance (mr) imaging. all lesions were clearly depicted. characteristic mr findings were obtained mainly on t2-weighted images: a markedly low intensity area was always seen. the margins of arteriovenous malformation (avm) and venous angioma were irregular while those of cavernous angioma were smooth in all planes on t2-weighted ...	2009	2797424

inhibition of adrenomedullary catecholamine release by propranolol isomers and clonidine involving mechanisms unrelated to adrenoceptors.	1 transmural electrical stimulation (10 hz, 40 v, 1 ms for 60s) increased total catecholamine secretion from perfused cat adrenal glands; this response was enhanced by neostigmine and inhibited by mecamylamine, suggesting that release of acetylcholine from splanchnic nerve terminals was stimulating nicotinic receptors and enhancing catecholamine secretion. 2 isoprenaline, (-)-propranolol and (+)-propranolol (10(-7)-10(-5)m) inhibited the electrically-evoked secretory response by 40-70%; similar ...	1987	2827826
development of a hospital-based proton beam treatment center.	radiation oncologists recognize a continuing need to improve the radiation dose distribution between a cancer and the surrounding normal tissue. a most promising method of accomplishing this goal is the use of charged particle beam irradiation, the clinical use of which has been investigated for the past 40 years. since the first clinical studies began at the lawrence berkeley laboratory in 1954, more than 5,000 patients have been treated with protons, using accelerators designed for physics lab ...	2010	2832357
activation of vesicular stomatitis virus fusion with cells by pretreatment at low ph.	fusion of vesicular stomatitis virus (vsv) with vero cells was measured after exposure of the virus to low ph under a variety of experimental conditions. the method of relief of fluorescence self-quenching of the probe octadecylrhodamine was used to monitor fusion. incubation of the virus at ph 5.5 prior to binding to cells led to significant enhancement of fusion at the plasma membrane, whereas fusion via the endocytic pathway was inhibited. fusion of ph 5.5-pretreated vsv showed a similar ph t ...	1988	2832405
high-performance liquid chromatographic separation and immunological characterization of soluble bovine viral diarrhea virus antigen.	sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and western blot analysis of the protein extracts from bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv, singer strain) infected primary calf testicle cells (soluble antigen) showed the presence of four virus specific polypeptides of 105, 90, 84 and 67 kilodaltons (kd) the 84-kd being the most abundant. anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (hplc) of soluble antigen separated the virus specific polypeptides in individual peaks while the ...	1988	2832429
opioids and behavior: genetic aspects.	three animal models, based on genetic differences in endogenous opioid peptides and opioid receptors, are described. obese mice and rats, whose pituitary opioid content is elevated, may be used to investigate eating disorders. recombinant inbred strains of mice, which differ in brain opioid receptors and analgesic responsiveness, can be used for study of opioid- and nonopioid-mediated mechanisms of pain inhibition. individual reactivity to opioids can be examined in c57bl/6 and dba/2 inbred stra ...	1988	2837410
inactivation of lincosaminide antibiotics in staphylococcus. identification of lincosaminide o-nucleotidyltransferases and comparison of the corresponding resistance genes.	resistance to lincomycin by inactivation has been detected in numerous clinical isolates of staphylococcus; in crude extracts of staphylococcus haemolyticus bm4610 and staphylococcus aureus bm4611, inactivation of lincomycin and clindamycin requires the presence of a nucleoside 5'-triphosphate (atp, gtp, ctp, or utp) as nucleotidyl donor and mg2+ as cofactor. the biochemical mechanism of lincosaminide inactivation was elucidated by determination of the structure of inactivated lincomycin and cli ...	1988	2846528
