intelligence levels of down's syndrome children.	intelligence levels of a sample of 180 down's syndrome children were reported, and the results indicated that their abilities are not as limited as previously thought. the introduction of special developmental programs from birth onwards appears to have promoted an increase in intellectual development. lack of extended educational opportunity may account for the apparent decrease in intellectual function in down's syndrome adolescents. it is suggested that school placement be based on demonstrat ...	2003	151508
huntington's disease--growth of fibroblast cultures in lipid-deficient medium: a preliminary report.	when skin fibroblast cultures derived from subjects with huntington's disease (hd) were grown in medium supplemented with lipid-deficient serum (lds), growth rates were less than those of control cultures. the mean percentage increase in generation times for nine control cultures incurred by using lds rather than fetal calf serum (fcs) was 8.0%. four cultures from 2 patients with hd failed to grow in lds but grew well in medium supplemented with fcs. in nine other cultures derived from 7 patient ...	2003	152597

immune suppression in vivo with antigen-modified syngeneic cells. i. t-cell-mediated suppression to the terpolymer poly-(glu, lys, phe)n.	the palmitoyl derivative of the linear polypeptide of poly-(l-glu-l-lys-l-phe)n (glphi) can be coupled to spleen cells directly. the intravenous administration of 2 x 10(5)--3 x 10(7) glphi-coupled syngeneic spleen cells induces gl-phi-specific suppressor t cells in c57bl/6 nonresponder mice. the suppression is antigen specific and can be detected by the inhibition of the primary glphi plaque-forming cell response to challenge with glphi-fowl gamma globulin. the number of inducer cells required ...	2003	309920
muscle strength in male athletes aged 70-81 years and a population sample.	muscle strength characteristics of different muscle groups were studied in active male strength-trained (st, n = 14), speed-trained (sp, n = 16), and endurance-trained (en, n = 67) athletes aged between 70 and 81 years. a population sample of similar age (n = 42) served as a control group. the isometric forces for hand grip, arm flexion, knee extension, trunk extension, and trunk flexion were higher for the athletes than the controls and higher for the st than en group. the sp athletes showed hi ...	2003	1773819
undifferentiated (embryonal) sarcoma of the liver: report of 31 cases.	thirty-one cases of undifferentiated (embryonal) sarcoma of the liver are presented. the tumor is found predominantly in the pediatric age group, the majority of patients (51.6%) being between 6 and 10 years of age. an abdominal mass and pain are the usual presenting symptoms. radiographic examination is nonspecific except to demonstrate a space-occupying lesion of the liver. the tumors are large, single, usually globular and well demarcated, and have multiple cystic areas of hemorrhage, necrosi ...	2003	208754
the ultrastructure of malignant fibrous histiocytoma (case report).	a soft tissue malignant fibrous histiocytoma was studied by light and electron microscopy. the presence of fibroblast-like cells, histiocyte-like cells, undifferentiated stem cells, and xanthomatous cells was confirmed. fibroblast- and histiocyte-like multinucleated giant cells were also observed. the observation of lysosomes in some fibroblast-like cells, the features of undifferentiated stem cells, and the presence of cells and intermediate characteristics common to xanthomatous, histiocytic, ...	2003	201064
effects of trazodone treatment on alpha-2 adrenoceptor function in depressed patients.	tricyclic antidepressant drugs reduce the sensitivity of alpha 2 adrenoceptors during long-term treatment. in the present study, the alpha 2 adrenergic agonist clonidine was administered to 11 depressed patients before and during treatment with the triazolopyridine antidepressant trazodone (trz). clonidine's ability to decrease blood pressure (bp) and plasma levels of the norepinephrine metabolite 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethyleneglycol (mhpg), and to increase sedation and plasma growth hormone ...	2003	3016788

pathology of the lens in down's syndrome.	a pathological study of the lenses of 21 patients with down's syndrome disclosed no distinctive abnormalities of the lens capsule, as had been reported previously. five patients, 15 years of age or older, had focal cortical changes consistent with the characteristic flake-like opacities seen in patients with down's syndrome after the first decade of life. three patients with more extensive, visually significant lens opacities showed nonspecific cataractous changes. no abnormalities other than pa ...	2003	148880
thymoxamine test. differentiating angle-closure glaucoma form open-angle glaucoma with narrow angles.	to help differentiate mild angle-closure glaucoma from open-angle glaucoma in patients with elevated intraocular pressure (iop) and angles so narrow that the structures cannot be seen adequately, we used a thymoxamine hydrochloride eyedrop that induces miosis and tends to widen the angle. thymoxamine does not contract the ciliary muscle and does not alter the iop or facility of outflow in open-angle glaucoma, but it can relieve angle-closure glaucoma. a test with thymoxamine was performed in 26 ...	2003	148879
a case of giant cavernous hemangioma of the liver complicated by intravascular coagulopathy.	a case of liver hemangioma complicated by intravascular coagulopathy is presented because of the rarity of the association. hemangioma of the liver was suspected by palpation of the liver tumor, scintigraphy and x-ray examination, and confirmed by selective hepatic arteriography in combination with exploratory laparotomy. intravascular coagulopathy was established by demonstrating secondary fibrinolysis and consumption of platelets and coagulation factors. unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia due to ...	2003	148835

aortic regurgitation associated with ventricular septal defect. echocardiographic and hemodynamic observations.	ventricular septal defect is sometimes associated with aortic regurgitation. in this report, an echocardiogram demonstrating dramatic prolapse of the noncoronary cusp into the left ventricular outflow tract and ventricular septal defect in a patient with down's syndrome and ventricular septal defect, confirmed by angiographic studies, is presented. the echocardiogram supports the concept of anatomic lack of support of the aortic ring due to a deficient septum and hemodynamically significant flow ...	2003	140791
biomechanics of the patellofemoral joint.	the patellofemoral joint contains 2 complex mechanisms for ameliorating forces transmitted across it, namely increasing extensor lever arm-r in the important range of flexion 30 degrees-70 degrees and increasing contact area with increasing flexion. in this range the patella bears sole responsibility for transmitting resultant flexion of quadriceps force to the femur. here lies the thickest cartilage in the body and perhaps not surprisingly, the most frequent site of cartilage degeneration. the ...	2004	535256

changes in bone mineral content following tibia shaft fractures.	the bone mineral content of the upper ends of the tibia and the fibula was measured in 27 patients with tibia shaft fracture. the bone mineral decreased rapidly after fracture, the loss continuing for about 5 months. later, towards the end of the first year after the injury, there was a slow restoration of mineral but no return to initial values in most instances. although the average maximum loss was approximately 45%, only 25% of the initial bone mineral was missing after one year.	2004	535229

intra-medullary pressure and intra-osseous phlebography in paraplegia.	intra-medullary pressure and intra-osseous phlebography have been studied in the femurs of ten paraplegics. these methods are reliable for studying bone circulation. results show that there exists an increase of intra-medullary pressure of more than twice the normal value and signs of delayed blood flow as well as a diaphyseal reflux in the bone. the blood gases are also modified (o2 saturation; po2 and pco2). these signs indicate that there is a venous stasis. these circulatory disturbances are ...	2004	534112
