efficacy of human chorionic gonadotrophin and gonadotrophin releasing hormone for hastening ovulation in thoroughbred mares. | plasma progesterone levels were measured daily to determine the accuracy of diagnosing ovulation by rectal palpation carried out every other day; 81.5 per cent mares injected with human chorionic gonadotrophin showed increases of progesterone more than 1 ng/ml by 72 h after injection compared with 65 per cent of mares injected with gonadotrophin releasing hormone (gnrh) or saline. mating at ovulation achieved a 74 per cent pregnancy rate in mares given hcg compared with 50 per cent given gnrh an ... | 1986 | 3542528 |
imps (intact months of patient survival): an analysis of the results of carotid endarterectomy. | the literature on carotid surgery for lesions appropriate to prior episodes of ischemia has been reviewed. only one randomized study and six non-controlled reports give useful data (this despite more than thirty years of surgical activity in this field). when analyzed by the imps (intact months of patient survival) criterion, the randomized study failed to show benefit from surgery. this failure can be attributed to a high (35%) operative stroke and death rate. that sufficiently low operative st ... | 1986 | 3544350 |
coma. | the preceding discussion is an attempt to stress anatomy in the diagnosis of coma. by localizing the offending lesion, the physician can apply the appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic measures more adeptly. because physicians are also frequently asked to prognosticate, i have tried to summarize the work of plum and posner in their study of the outcome of patients presenting in coma. the primary care physician is encouraged to plan at least for the basics in case he or she is faced with a comat ... | 1986 | 3633597 |
a proposed method for using a reimbursement moratorium to encourage recruitment for a randomized study of carotid endarterectomy. | as indicated by barnett, plum and walton, a definitive clinical trial to resolve the issue of the effectiveness of carotid endarterectomy is clearly needed. a proposal to foster such a trial, through a moratorium on third-party reimbursement other than for randomized patients, has herein been presented. | 1986 | 3810740 |
growth and the composition and transport of carbohydrate in compatible and incompatible peach/plum grafts. | the growth of scions and rootstocks of compatible (prunus persica l. batsch cv. springtime/prunus cerasifera l. ehrh. cv. myrobolan p2032) and incompatible (prunus persica l. batsch cv. springtime/prunus cerasifera l. ehrh. cv. myrobolan p18) peach/plum grafts were compared. the composition of soluble carbohydrates in phloem and cortical tissues of both peach/plum grafts and ungrafted plums and the translocation of these compounds across the union of grafted plants were examined. sorbitol and su ... | 1987 | 14975918 |
[a new criminologic procedure: study of l-cystine-aminopeptidase activity for the detection of seminal stains]. | l-cystine-aminopeptidase (cap) enzyme cleaves l-cystine-di-beta-naphthylamide substrate to beta-naphthylamine. the final product of this process is a violet azostain. cap enzyme determination was developed for criminological procedures. cap shows almost 100 times greater activity in human semen than in other body fluids. samples taken at different time intervals (1 week, 1-3-6 months, 1 year, and 5-10 years) were investigated; they were dried on cloth and filter paper and then stored at room tem ... | 1987 | 3660956 |
[recurrent cerebral emboli in nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis]. | a 28-year-old woman developed thrombophlebitis migrans and right hemiparesis with motor aphasia. chest x-ray revealed a plum-sized central infiltrate in the right lower lobe of the lung. transbronchial lung biopsy showed bronchoalveolar carcinoma. subsequently recurrent cerebral infarcts developed from which the patient died. autopsy revealed nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis as the cause of the cerebral infarcts. this form of endocarditis is characterized by the parallel occurrence of arteri ... | 1987 | 3678075 |
[results of skin tests with pollen extracts of fruit trees in patients with pollen allergy]. | as there have recently been increasing publications on the correlation between tree pollen allergy and fruit allergy, we asked ourselves wether this might be caused by the parallel pollen times of fagales trees and rosales trees in our central european climate. accordingly, we tested 92 patients positively suffering from fagales tree pollen allergy with the following rosales tree pollen extracts: apple, cherry, plum, apricote, almande. 16 out of these patients showed reactions to fagales pollen ... | 1987 | 3577285 |
the effects of fruit juices and fruits on the absorption of iron from a rice meal. | the effects of the chemical composition of fruit juices and fruit on the absorption of iron from a rice (oryza sativa) meal were measured in 234 parous indian women, using the erythrocyte utilization of radioactive fe method. the corrected geometric mean fe absorptions with different juices varied between 0.040 and 0.129, with the variation correlating closely with the ascorbic acid contents of the juices (rs 0.838, p less than 0.01). ascorbic acid was not the only organic acid responsible for t ... | 1987 | 3593665 |
a basis for estimation of consumption: literature values for selected food volatiles. part ii. | in this paper we present a compilation of quantitative literature data on volatile compounds in 15 food items including some brandies, meats, oils as well as vegetables, vinegar and potatoes. levels of the volatile compounds identified (approximately 900) in this group of food items are generally in the ppm range. carboxylic acids were present in much higher levels in plum brandy, vinegar, lamb and mutton (heated), whereas alcohols, esters and carbonyls aldehydes are particularly abundant in bra ... | 1987 | 3595923 |
[plum pits in the terminal ileum]. | we report on a case of an inflammatory conglomerate tumour proximal to the ileocaecal valve which resulted from ingested plum stones and after years led to abundant intestinal bleeding. | 1987 | 3616428 |
a simple gas chromatography method for the determination of ethylcarbamate in spirits. | ethylcarbamate is a toxic component of certain spirits. for its determination, the spirit is concentrated to one-fifth of its volume, extracted with ethylacetate and analysed by capillary gas chromatography (gc) with flame ionization detection (fid). the method saves time and material and has proved to be a reliable test in different laboratories. the ethylcarbamate concentrations in 170 samples of swiss origin are presented. the mean values were 1.0 mg/l in cherry brandies, 1.5 mg/l in plum bra ... | 1987 | 3617935 |
lead poisoning in canada geese on plum island, massachusetts. | during december 1983 and early january 1984, about 200 canada geese (branta canadensis) died of lead poisoning at parker river national wildlife refuge on plum island, massachusetts. in an effort to determine the source of lead, 100 bottom samples were taken from a refuge impoundment where much of the mortality/morbidity occurred. an average of 157,150 pellets/ha was found with a range of 64,582 to 322,910 pellets/ha. water levels in this impoundment were low when canada geese arrived, making sh ... | 1987 | 3625903 |
[sonography in the early detection of non-palpable second testicular tumors: a prospective study]. | as part of the tumor aftercare service afforded by our policlinic, 91 patients were examined one to six times in 18 months following radical orchiectomy for testicular germ cell tumors. the period of observation averaged 35 months (3-147) after the contralateral removal of the testicle. in addition to the usual routine checks, sonography of the residual testicle also formed part of the established followup protocol. among these patients sonography identified in residual testicles 3 testicular tu ... | 1987 | 3324447 |
