duplex-scanning of the deep venous drainage in the evaluation of blood flow velocity of the cerebral vascular system in infants.	doppler investigations of the anterior cerebral (pericallosal) or internal carotid arteries have two major limitations: (1) flow velocity in one cerebral artery does not necessarily represent flow velocity in other cerebral arteries; (2) flow velocity spectra are influenced significantly by transducer-transferred pressure. furthermore, there are substantial pitfalls in the interpretation of arterial flow velocity data. we therefore examined doppler-shift waveforms of the deep venous drainage in ...	2008	2646588

[asymptomatic cholelithiasis. when is a cholecystectomy justified?].	since the introduction of routine abdominal echography, silent gallstone has become a major medical concern. the management of a patient with silent gallstone, is very controversed, and routine cholecystectomy is not always beneficial. aged and high operative risk patients, should be treated conservatively. literature review can identify subgroups of patients in whom cholecystectomy is justified: patients with micro or macro-lithiasis, patients in whom oral cholecystography reveals multiple floa ...	2008	2519334
vascular myogenic or stretch-dependent tone.	myogenic tone is an important source of vascular resistance, which appears to depend upon stretch of the vessel wall. it contributes to autoregulation, is dependent upon external calcium, and may involve a calcium-entry mechanism different from that associated with the action of agonists and changes in the membrane potential.	2008	2409386

[hemophagocytic syndrome in two elderly men].	case 1: a 68-year-old male, who was admitted to our hospital because of massive intestinal bleeding, died 1 day after admission. case 2: an 80-year-old male, who was admitted to our hospital because of a loss of consciousness, died 4 days after admission. in both cases prodromic infection was not detected. at autopsy, phagocytosis of rbc and wbc by histiocytes was shown markedly in the spleen in case 1 and in the bone marrow in case 2. so diagnosis of virus-associated hemophagocytic syndrome was ...	2008	2329691

investigations of morning and laboratory dream recall and content in depressive patients during baseline conditions and under antidepressive treatment with trimipramine.	rem sleep abnormalities like shortened rem (rapid eye movement) latency, prolongation of the first rem period and heightening of rem density often found in patients with a major depression have prompted an increasing number of studies investigating the neurobiology and neurophysiology of rem sleep in depressive patients, as well as in healthy humans and animals. on the other hand, since the early 1970s investigation of the psychological concomitant of rem sleep, i.e., dreaming, in depressive pat ...	2008	2374795
[psychological reflections by adolescents on the atomic threat].	the results are focussed on the three most important wishes and fears of 247 adolescents aged 14 years whose development is being followed from birth in the framework of the rostock longitudinal study. the peace/war problem occupies a central position in the thinking of adolescents today. however there are no indications that the individual perception of and reflection on the nuclear threat impair psychic development nor is there any relation between political fears and the anxiety trait. the ex ...	2008	2816553
[environmental pathology and dentistry. iii. carcinogenic process of the soft tissues of the oral cavity].	the context in which a relationship between environmental pathologies and dentistry is most easily distinguished is with reference to the carcinogenic processes of soft tissues in the oral cavity. in this study, a distinction is made between potentially cancerous lesions and true carcinomas, and the relationship between tumour pathology of the oral cavity and the surrounding environment is analysed. clinical aspects are also illustrated.	2008	2287330

comparison between panoramic and periapical radiography in the diagnosis of periapical bone lesions.	the diagnostic accuracy of panoramic and periapical radiography was compared by five oral radiologists who assessed the periapical status of 117 teeth evenly distributed throughout the jaws with a 50% probability that either an osteolytic or sclerotic lesion was present. receiver operating characteristic (roc) analysis demonstrated no overall significant difference between panoramic and periapical radiography. however, for sclerotic lesions and for all lesions on maxillary premolars and mandibul ...	2008	2640445

evaluation of children with possible appendicitis using technetium 99m leukocyte scan.	we evaluated the use of technetium 99m albumin colloid white blood cell (tac-wbc) scan in 33 children with possible appendicitis. ten children had appendicitis, four of whom had perforated their appendix at the time of surgery. children with appendicitis differed from children without appendicitis in the incidence of right lower quadrant rebound tenderness (60% vs 17.4%), and white blood cell count (x10(3)/mm3) (14.0 + 1.9 vs 10.7 +/- 1.0). tac-wbc scans were interpreted as either positive, nega ...	2008	2330248
mucilaginous plants and their uses in medicine.	throughout the world but especially in the tropical and subtropical zones, there are succulent and non-succulent plants which harbor readily releasable mucilage in their tissues, on the surface of their seeds or in their bark. this mucilage may have diverse practical uses. among these, it functions as a healing agent, casually or in the practice of traditional-folk or conventional medicine. the mucilage of some of these plants is well known to science and has been studied by pharmacologists and ...	2008	2214811
[surgical treatment of occlusive diseases of the brachiocephalic arteries].	experience of the department of vascular surgery of the novgorod regional hospital from 1985 is analysed. the department has the standard sets of instruments, equipment, and roentgenodiagnostic apparatus which allow catheter, selective, and puncture angiography to be carried out. thirty-six operations were performed on 28 patients. all were conducted under endotracheal anesthesia with medicamentous protection of the brain. one patients died from reflex cardiac arrest. no complications occurred i ...	2008	2292854
comparison of oral erythromycin ethylsuccinate and ciprofloxacin in the treatment of acute respiratory tract infections.	a total of 619 patients with acute upper or lower respiratory tract infection were randomised to receive either erythromycin ethylsuccinate tablets at a dose of 1 g twice daily, or ciprofloxacin tablets 500 mg twice daily in a single-blind, multicentre study. the efficacy of each antibacterial was similar, with close to 90% of patients on each treatment being reported as either cured or improved. gastrointestinal symptoms were the most commonly reported side-effects, being similar in overall inc ...	2008	2268518
[principles of creating esophageal anastomoses].	the techniques of formation of esophageal anastomoses are discussed on the basis of experience with 317 operations. the authors believe the following moments to be most important in the creation of communications with the esophagus: the use of a laser scalpel and monophilic atraumatic suture material, accurate apposition of the identical coats of the anastomosed organs by means of sutures placed at some distance from one another and tied not too tightly, creation of an antireflux mechanism in fo ...	2008	2292863
