high-resolution ultrasonography of scrotal pathology.	a prototype high-resolution (10-mhz) real-time ultrasonic system was used to study 22 patients who were ultimately proved to have intra- and extratesticular tumors, scrotal fluid collections, and inflammatory processes. in 5 of 6 patients with primary testicular masses, there were areas of decreased echogenicity within the testis when compared with surrounding normal tissue. in general, the method was highly effective in differentiating and characterizing testicular and extratesticular processes ...	2004	441377
hyperthecosis syndrome. clinical, endocrinologic and histologic findings.	five patients were found to have hyperthecosis ovarii as evidenced by the presence of large lipid containing thecal cells in the ovarian stroma. the clinical picture was similar in all of them, featuring mild virilization, obesity and oligomenorrhea, with refractoriness to clomid therapy. plasma fsh levels were low normal, while lh levels were slightly elevated. urinary 17-ketosteroids levels were elevated, and plasma testosterone concentrations were upper normal. the response to dexamethasone s ...	2004	419961
[non-invasive study of the patency of aortocoronary bypass with pulsed doppler technic. preliminary studies].	the pulsed doppler effect is a non-invasive investigation technique based on the fact that the blood cells moving in a vessel on which ultrasound is incident cause a rebound of different frequency, according to their rate. this technique allows us to measure flow in a "measuring volume", whose size and depth are regulable. it is also possible to collect the signal from one or several aorto-coronary grafts, and to distinguish these from the sorrounding vasculature by their diastolic perfusion. th ...	2004	415678

technical considerations in saphenous vein bypass grafts to the right coronary artery.	measurement of the proper length for saphenous vein bypass grafts to the right coronary artery can be complicated by the increase in cardiac volume that takes place when extracorporeal circulation is discontinued. inadequate or excessive allowance for this increase can cause undue tension on the grafts or troublesome kinking. this report describes an improved method of orienting vein bypass grafts to the right coronary artery which eliminates problems of incorrect measurement.	2004	305767

endogenous tumor growth factor indicated by increased ornithine decarboxylase activity in malignant cells treated with host serum ascites fluid.	ornithine decarboxylase (odc) production was used as an indicator of mitotic activity in neoplastic cells removed from murine hosts at progressive stages of growth. cells from three ascites cancers and one fibrosarcoma were tested and showed declining odc production with progressive growth. the cells were incubated with serum or malignant effusion fluid taken from the murine hosts at progressive stages of growth. for 2 to 3 weeks after tumor implantation, sera and, in particular, ascites fluids ...	2004	427794
the effect of digested sludge on the common carp, cyprinus carpio l.	the effects of sewage sludge on the survival of the common carp, cyprinus carpio, were investigated. it was noted that, when the concentrations of the sludge used for rearing carp exceeded 0.6%, the fish died within 42 days, whereas those reared in 0.2% sludge remained alive and healthy during the trial period. the body and the gills of the dead fish were covered by a veil-like film which looked like coagulated mucus and was formed by the heavy metal ions from the sludge reacting with some const ...	2004	419924
