the effect of bicarbonate and distilled water on sickle cell trait hematuria and in vitro studies on the interaction of osmolality and ph on erythrocyte sickling in sickle cell trait.	the effect of intravenously administered distilled water was examined alone and during alkalization in a patient with gross hematuria associated with the sickle cell trait. on each of 4 occasions hematuria ceased promptly after the infusion of distilled water. bicarbonate therapy also consistently decreased hematuria. in vitro studies on erythrocytes from another patient with sickle cell trait and hematuria demonstrated that slight increases in urinary ph similar to those that occur in the urine ...	1998	21309

[detection of female heterozygous glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency].	diagnostics of heterozygotes are required for population studies, for the detection and consultation of persons with g-6-pd deficiency prone to hemolysis. the diagnostics of heterozygous females with the corresponding trait are problematic in families without hemizygous patients. 1. the determination of the activity is only applicable to the differentiation between heterozygotes and homozygotes if the activities are below the reference range. heterozygous g-6-pd deficiency with normal activity c ...	1998	23637

[road violence among young people aged 15-24 years].	during the last decade, the annual number of deaths by road accident in france was approximatively 10,000 whose 3,000 aged 15-24. road accidents were, and remain, the first cause of death among youngsters and young adults, preceding suicide. since the early 70's, public authorities were aware of the problem and laws and regulations were implemented, aimed at curbing the disastrous trend. some results were obtained, but the situation is far from satisfactory. social, economic, psychological condi ...	1999	1300240
ma 160 and eb33 cell lines: hela cell contaminants, hybrids or prostatic epithelial cells?	studies of acid phosphates produced by cell lines ma 160 and eb 33 demonstrated immunochemically their prostatic origin. ma 160 and eb 33, rather than being hela contaminants, may be hybrids of prostatic epithelial and hela cells or true prostatic cell lines with chromosomal changes common to all long-term cultivated cell lines.	1999	93571

residues of organochlorine insecticides and polychlorinated biphenyls in fish from lakes saint clair and erie, canada--1968-76.	eighteen species of fish from lake saint clair and 19 species from lake erie were analyzed for organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) between 1968 and 1976. mean residues of sigma ddt peaked at 1.19 ppm in longnose gar (lepisosteus osseus) caught in lake saint clair in 1970-71, but had declined in all species by 1975-76. dieldrin levels in fish tissues increased over the same period. white bass (morone chrysops), caught in 1975 in lake erie, had the highest mean residue o ...	2000	101968
a simple but powerful theory of the moon illusion.	modification of restle's theory (1970) explains the moon illusion and related phenomena on the basis of three principles: (1) the apparent sizes of objects are their perceived visual angles. (2) the apparent size of the moon is determined by the ratio of the angular extent of the moon relative to the extents subtended by objects composing the surrounding context, such as the sky and things on the ground. (3) the visual extents subtended by common objects of a constant physical size decrease syst ...	2000	2144580
intravenous insulin infusion in diabetic emergencies.	continuous intravenous insulin and dextrose infusions were used in managing various diabetic emergencies. standard and constant rates of insulin and dextrose infusion resulted in satisfactory control of blood glucose concentrations during labour, after major surgery, and in patients recovering from ketoacidosis (average insulin infusion rates 1, 2, and 3 u/h respectively). higher infusion rates were used to correct or prevent ketoacidosis in pregnant diabetic women who had received steroids and ...	2000	102400

restimulation of ppd-stimulated lymphocytes: decreased responsiveness of prestimulated cells to a second challenge with ppd and pha.	lymphocytes stimulated with purified protein derivative (ppd) were inhibited in their response to a second stimulation with ppd or phytohaemagglutinin (pha). the degree of inhibition was related to the ppd concentration during prestimulation, the dose-response curve for inhibition resembling very much that of stimulation. the decreased reactivity was neither due to a toxic effect of ppd nor to altered proliferation kinetics of the prestimulated cells. lymphocytes preincubated for 6 h or 16 days ...	2001	311074

neuroendocrine embryology and the apud concept.	in the vertebrata the great majority of cells producing hormonal peptides belong to the apud series and share its distinctive cytochemical and ultrastructural characteristics. according to the concept all members of the series are to be regarded as derivatives of neuroectoderm or of specialized (placodal) ectoderm. for most of the apud cells this criterion is fulfilled in that their origin from neural tube, neural ridges or neural crest can be considered proven. complete proof is not yet availab ...	2001	29734

radionuclide left ventricular dv/dt for the assessment of cardiac function in patients with coronary disease.	to investigate potential uses of left-ventricular (lv) systolic ejection rate (lv dv/dt) in the evaluation of lv function, we examined the effect of exercise, angiotensin, and leg raising on lv ejection fraction and lv dv/dt in patients with coronary-artery disease. the following observations were made: a) lv ejection fraction and dv/dt changed proportionately, but in opposite directions, during supine exercise; b) lv ejection fraction and dv/dt decreased to a similar extent during angiotensin i ...	2003	430171

fate of fragments and properties of translocations of holokinetic chromosomes after x-irradiation of mature sperm of tetranychus urticae koch (acari, tetranychidae).	after irradiation of mature sperm in males of tetranychus urticae, early cleavage stages were scored for chromosome fragments. as expected from the presumed holokinetic nature of the chromosomes, the majority (94.29%) of the fragments pass mitosis without difficulty. a minority of the fragments is affected by loss (4.76%) or missegregation (0.95%), leading to loss of fragments from cells in a large fraction of fragment-containing eggs after a few divisions. lethality induced by the irradiation t ...	2004	522871
