| biomechanical factors affecting fracture stability and femoral bursting in closed intramedullary rod fixation of femur fractures. | intramedullary rodding of femur fractures, although a safe and rapidly performed procedure, can result in several complications. if the rod fit is too loose, fracture instability, rod migration, and delayed union may result. if the rod fit is too tight, cracking of the femur may occur during rod insertion. these complications were investigated in terms of geometric and mechanical parameters of the bone-implant system. results showed that rods of the same nominal size from different manufacturers ... | 2013 | 3999706 |
| relation between nasal/voice accelerometric values and interval estimates of hypernasality. | nasal/throat accelerometric ratios were obtained from 12 hypernasal and three normal children. the accelerometric voltages comprising the ratio were analogs of nasal and anterior-neck tissue vibrations. audio recordings, which were obtained simultaneously with the accelerometric voltages, were later judged for hypernasality using an equal-appearing-interval (eai) scale. high correlations were evident between accelerometric and eai values when a stimulus sentence contained obstruents, semivowels, ... | 2013 | 3863721 |

| herpes simplex encephalitis: further evidence for persistent infection in the cns. | herpes simplex virus (hsv) antibody titers and igg, igm and iga concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid were serially measured in a patient with hsv encephalitis during a follow-up period of 32 months. hsv antibody titers, all classes of immunoglobulins and ig% showed significant elevation during the course of illness, though igm% and iga% gradually declined after the acute phase. autopsied brain tissue failed to yield a virus isolate, but conspicuous perivascular lymphocyte infiltrate, which ... | 2013 | 3837951 |

| ophthalmological complications of cryptococcal meningitis. | two patients with cryptococcal meningitis associated with ophthalmological complications are described. one patient developed a cryptococcal fundal lesion which disappeared during chemotherapy. chronically raised intracranial pressure was associated with a visual field defect. this resolved with repeated lumbar punctures. the second patient developed visual deficits secondary to papilloedema and responded to optic nerve decompression. in both cases ct scanning demonstrated swelling of the optic ... | 2013 | 3843225 |

| inhibition of h+ secretion by lectins in turtle bladder: role of a cell type on acidification. | because certain lectins have been shown to bind to the intercalated cell of the cortical collecting tubule, we investigated the effect of concanavalin a and wheat germ agglutinin on urinary acidification in isolated turtle bladders. after addition to the mucosal but not serosal fluid, concanavalin a and wheat germ agglutinin decreased h+ secretion in a dose-dependent manner, and these effects were specifically inhibited by the competitive antagonists of concanavalin a (alpha-methyl-d-mannoside) ... | 2013 | 3838859 |
| mental impairment in martin-bell syndrome is probably determined by interaction of several genes: simple explanation of phenotypic differences between unaffected and affected males with the same x chromosome. | a family with martin-bell syndrome (mbs) is described with transmission of this x-linked trait by a normal male who manifested the fragile site at xq27. this family shows features apparently typical for all families with a normal male transmitter. the daughters of this male are mentally normal and their fragile site is difficult or impossible to detect but detection of the heterozygous genotype is much easier among the granddaughters. this can be explained by a model assuming that mental deficie ... | 2013 | 3957348 |
