controlled trial of isoniazid therapy for severe postural cerebellar tremor in multiple sclerosis.	six patients with severe postural cerebellar tremor were studied in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial with isoniazid. each phase of the study lasted 4 weeks, and in the isoniazid phase patients received an increasing dose up to 1200 mg/d. patients were studied with self-rating scales, quantitative tremor recording, and blinded ratings of videotapes. all patients improved by at least one method, three improved by all methods, and four improved sufficiently to want to continue wi ...	2014	3895037
gastric inhibitory polypeptide and hyperinsulinemia in the zucker (fa/fa) rat: a developmental study.	the role of the gut hormone gip (gastric inhibitory polypeptide; glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) in the development of hyperinsulinemia of pre-obese (fa/fa) zucker rats was investigated. plasma gip levels were compared in lean and fa/fa pups from 21 to 35 days of age. the onset of both basal and glucose-stimulated hyperinsulinemia was studied. possible causal roles for glucose, gip and acetylcholine in hyperinsulinemia were investigated in the isolated perfused pancreas preparation ...	1985	3897081
effect of colchicine on atherosclerosis. iii. study of dermal elastic fibers by quantitative histochemistry, automated image analysis.	computerized automatic-image analytical procedure was applied on dermal biopsies stained for elastin by a new procedure giving a completely white background and staining only the elastic fiber system. in arteriosclerotic hypertensive patients, a 3-4 months' treatment with 1 mg colchicine per day resulted in a significant (60-80%, p less than 0.01) increase of the dermal elastic fiber density both in the superficial papillary dermis and in the deep dermis. this result shows that the age-dependent ...	2014	3902321
copper and inflammation--a possible rationale for the pharmacological manipulation of inflammatory disorders.	acute and chronic inflammations are characterized, among other features, by changes in the metabolism of copper and by a widespread responsiveness to the therapy with copper-containing molecules. the exact map of inflammation-induced copper movements as well as the role played by the metal in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disorders are, however, far from being clear, and this is especially true in the case of chronic processes. nevertheless the present knowledge suggests that the "copper appr ...	2014	3907313
[ultrasonic angiography in the diagnosis of lesions of the brachiocephalic branches of the aorta].	a review of combined ultrasonic data in a group of normal subjects and in 20 patients with occlusive brachiocephalic aortic lesions has demonstrated that combined use of highly-informative ultrasonic techniques, including ultrasonic dopplerography, ultrasonic angiography and spectrum analysis of the doppler echo expands considerably possibilities of the diagnosis of occlusive lesions and enables quantitative assessment of regional hemodynamic disorders.	2014	3910909
