spontaneous pulmonary torsion.a patient with systemic manifestations of sepsis after above-knee amputation developed massive left pulmonary atelectasis and pneumonia. these persisted despite repeated bronchoscopies. at thoracotomy, 180 degrees torsion of the left lung was found. the patient improved temporarily but died later of sepsis, probably related to severe hip osteomyelitis.20133581945
varied appearance of cardiac pseudoaneurysms on blood pool images.three cases of cardiac pseudoaneurysms were presented, with findings at the time of gated blood pool imaging. in only one of three was there the finding of a small neck connecting the ventricular cavity with the pseudoaneurysm. in the other two patients, there was a considerably larger communication. the size of the pseudoaneurysm itself was also of little diagnostic assistance. in one case it was small, while in a second patient it was larger in size. the third case revealed a pseudoaneurysm of ...20133595025
intracellular water and ionic shifts during growth and ageing of rats.as measured by x-ray microanalysis of frozen-dried cryosections, physiological concentrations of phosphorus, na+, k+ and mg2+ show a biphasic age dependence in some compartments of rat hepatocytes, especially in the regions of condensed chromatin associated with the actively transcribed genes. this could be consistent with a reactivation of the protein synthesizing apparatus in old livers. the decrease in intracellular water concentrations in hepatocytes and myocytes during ageing is shown to be ...19873600050
