| benserazide induces migraine attacks. irrelevance of concomitant hyperprolactinemia. | migrainous women underwent acute administration of sulpiride (25 mg i.v.) and benserazide (125 mg per os), both drugs increasing prolactin secretion. a similar increase in prolactin levels was found following the administration of the two drugs. a typical migraine attack was observed only in the 4 women given benserazide. these data, though being preliminary, stress the scarce or irrelevant role of prolactin in the pathogenesis of the migraine attack. | 2005 | 554794 |

| expression of the u1 rna gene repeat during early sea urchin development: evidence for a switch in u1 rna genes during development. | the majority of the genes for u1 rna are organized in tandemly repeated units in the sea urchin. to assess the level of expression of these genes in the sea urchin lytechinus variegatus, we measured the transcription of sequences 3' to the gene. the tandemly repeated u1 genes are expressed in morula and continue to be expressed at high rates until 2 hr after hatching, at which time the rate of expression of all the u1 genes and the tandemly repeated u1 genes declines sharply. by the gastrula sta ... | 2009 | 2704735 |
| rural nursing: developing the theory base. | many health care needs of rural dwellers cannot be adequately met through the use of existing nursing models alone but require unique approaches emphasizing the special needs of this population. the development of an integrated theory base for rural nursing is necessary. a retroductive approach, building upon both qualitative and quantitative research data, is being used to develop a theory of rural nursing. key concepts identified are: work beliefs and health beliefs; isolation and distance; se ... | 2009 | 2772454 |

| suturing techniques of individual surgeons--differences in accuracy and mechanics. | the suturing techniques of fifteen surgeons with similar surgical experience were evaluated with respect to pinpoint accuracy and the force produced while suturing. subjects were randomly selected from a group of surgeons whose surgical experience ranged from five to six years. accuracy was determined by the deviated distance between the needle exit and the designated exit. force was expressed as torques (f) loaded on a needle holder, and included the derivatives (df/dt) and integrals (if). sutu ... | 2009 | 2681904 |
| treatment of the premenstrual syndrome by subcutaneous estradiol implants and cyclical oral norethisterone: placebo controlled study. | the hypothesis that the many non-specific changes normally associated with cyclical ovarian activity are the primary aetiological factors in the premenstrual syndrome was tested by suppressing ovulation with subcutaneous oestradiol implants. sixty eight women with proved premenstrual syndrome were treated under placebo controlled conditions for up to 10 months in a longitudinal study. active treatment was combined with cyclical oral norethisterone to produce regular withdrawal periods. symptoms ... | 2010 | 3087550 |
