renal growth after neonatal urinary tract infection.	this study presents the result of 12-21 years' follow-up in a group of children with neonatal urinary tract infection (onset within 1 month after birth) in whom early renal growth retardation was noted without concomitant classical renal scarring. in all cases the neonatal infection was diagnosed and treated within a few days of onset and the patients were closely supervised thereafter. renal length, parenchymal thickness and area were measured at urography. at first follow-up (22 children, mean ...	2010	3153287
cigarette smoking and down syndrome.	a matched case-control study of 100 mothers of down syndrome children, 100 mothers of children with other defects (defect controls), and 100 mothers of children with no defects (normal controls) was carried out. all infants were born in upstate new york in 1980 and 1981. matching was very close on maternal age for the normal controls but not for the defect controls. the risk ratios for the association of cigarette smoking around the time of conception with down syndrome was 0.58 (90% confidence ...	2010	2934980

bilateral central retinal artery occlusions, disk drusen, and migraine.	a central retinal artery occlusion occurred in the left eye of a 25-year-old woman with migraine and bilateral intrapapillary drusen. an extensive investigation failed to establish the presence of any systemic disease or vasculopathy. eight years later she had a central retinal artery occlusion in her right eye. optic disk drusen and migraine may have combined to produce this patient's bilateral visual loss consequent to retinal vaso-occlusion.	2010	2923150
hyperuricemia, gout, and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.	the relationship between hyperuricemia, gout, and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (adpkd) is not widely recognized. in an attempt to further clarify this relationship, the authors have studied 17 patients with adpkd, 9 controls, 9 patients with proven gout and chronic renal failure, 11 patients with gout and normal renal function, and 11 patients with chronic renal failure. the mean serum uric acid concentration was higher in patients with adpkd as a group than in controls (8.0 +/- ...	2010	2923134
[stress fracture of the femoral neck in a marathon runner. case report and review of the literature].	stress fracture of the femoral neck is rare, and the conditions in which it occurs are complex. an unusually high, rhythmically acting force resulting from body weight and muscle tension leads to decompensation of the dynamic equilibrium otherwise prevalent in bone metabolism in conditions of adaptation. even small differences in leg length predispose to fracture of the longer leg, owing to the increased muscular activity. bone scanning is helpful in diagnosis when no signs of fracture are revea ...	2010	2916132
control of hidradenitis suppurativa in women using combined antiandrogen (cyproterone acetate) and oestrogen therapy.	the effects of combined treatment with the antiandrogen, cyproterone acetate, and ethinyl oestradiol on four women with long-standing hidradenitis suppurativa have been investigated. the condition was controlled successfully in all patients with 100 mg/day cyproterone acetate using the reversed sequential regimen; lowering the antiandrogen to 50 mg/day caused deterioration. before treatment, plasma testosterone levels were within the normal range, but plasma androstenedione values were raised an ...	2010	2944535

altered metabolic properties of cultured skin fibroblasts in alzheimer's disease.	alzheimer's disease is associated with selective neuronal loss, the cause of which is undetermined. evidence indicating a predisposing genetic factor associated with this disease suggests that important alterations may be expressed in tissues other than the brain. because abnormal glucose and energy-related metabolism have been identified in both in vivo and in vitro studies of brain, we conducted a study to examine related measures in cultured skin fibroblasts from six patients with alzheimer's ...	2010	3109316
the prognostic value of morphometry in ovarian epithelial tumors of borderline malignancy.	a fully "blind" morphometric analysis was made of 20 ovarian epithelial tumors; 18 of these were of borderline malignancy, one was a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma and one had been categorized as "borderline? malignant?" morphometry correctly identified the adenocarcinoma, which had proved fatal, and the two tumors of borderline malignancy that had directly led to the patients' deaths, as having a "poor" prognosis. one tumor thought to have a "poor" prognosis was associated with long-term su ...	2010	2997053
activation of a cytosolic serine protein kinase by epidermal growth factor.	exposure of a-431 cells to epidermal growth factor (egf) results in a rapid enhancement (approximately 10-fold) of cytosolic serine protein kinase activity. the increase in serine kinase activity may be detected using a number of peptide and protein substrates. enhancement of kinase activity occurs within 1 min of exposure of the cells to egf and reaches a maximum in 5 min. similar results were obtained with a variety of cell lines. we have partially purified the egf-activated kinase from a-431 ...	2010	2974035

civil commitment standards and patient mix in england/wales, italy, and the united states.	although england/wales, italy, and the united states share a common policy of deinstitutionalization, their mental health systems differ considerably. each country's civil commitment standards define patient eligibility criteria along one of two primary dimensions--need for treatment or degree of dangerousness. these differential selection criteria result in mental health systems serving different subgroups of the total population. the criteria in england/wales target older women; in the united ...	2010	2912261

assessment, management, and treatment planning for male adolescent sexual offenders.	adolescent sexual offenders are considered as a part of the larger group of emotionally disturbed youngsters. for purposes of clinical management, areas of overlap between the two groups are identified and issues specific to sexual offenders are delineated. ethical issues, preventive interventions, the risk of recidivism, and the special problems presented by incestuous offenders are discussed.	2010	3067582

in vivo transcription from multiple spacer rrna gene promoters during early development and evolution of the intergenic spacer in the brine shrimp artemia.	the control of ribosomal rna (rrna) gene expression during development can be productively studied by examination of the relationship between promoter structure and function as well as the processing of primary transcripts. toward this end total cell rna was extracted from embryos at various stages and probed with cloned rrna genes using the "dot blot" method. this exercise showed that rrna gene expression is a stage-specific process and is thus under developmental control. s1 nuclease protectio ...	2010	3037491

t-lymphocytes subpopulation before and after surgical removal of hepatocellular carcinoma.	this study included 16 histologically confirmed hepato-cellular carcinoma (hcc) patients. at the same time, 32 normal healthy individuals and 20 asymptomatic hepatitis b surface antigen (hbsag) carriers were served as control groups. the study disclosed that t cells, okt4 cells and the ratio of okt4 cells/okt8 cells in peripheral venous blood of hcc patients before surgery were lower than that of either normal control or asymptomatic hbsag carriers. the difference was statistically significant. ...	2010	3028718
