[the lymphocyte transformation test in sarcoidosis].	a suppressive effect of the sarcoidosis serum on the mitogenic stimulation of lymphocytes could be confirmed statistically (p less than 1%). but there remained a lot of deviating results in distinct individual cases which could not be explained by subdividing the material in regard to different clinical points of view. the practical utility of the ltt as a diagnostic tool in sarcoidosis is therefore very limited. the partly missing suppression or even a stimulation compared to the culture with p ...	2007	2219991

chronic manganese intoxication.	we report six cases of chronic manganese intoxication in workers at a ferromanganese factory in taiwan. diagnosis was confirmed by assessing increased manganese concentrations in the blood, scalp, and pubic hair. in addition, increased manganese levels in the environmental air were established. the patients showed a bradykinetic-rigid syndrome indistinguishable from parkinson's disease that responded to treatment with levodopa.	2007	2803069
[lung cancer in women in moscow (epidemiology, etiology and surgical treatment)].	in the studied period (1973-1987) the lung carcinoma morbidity rate among females of moscow, in general intensive indices (per 100,000 females), showed a tendency to reduce (18.4 in 1973 and 15.1 in 1987). a reverse tendency is mostly encountered in other countries. more than half of patients with lung carcinoma were over 70 years of age. the ratio of males with lung carcinoma to that of females grew from 3.0:1.0 in 1973-1977 to 3.6:1.0 in 1983-1987. in the period from 1979 to 1988, 380 females ...	2007	2223213

reliability of prognostic models in malignant melanoma. a 10-year follow-up study.	certain histologic and clinical features of malignant melanoma have been shown to be indicators of prognosis, both collectively and individually. even though the predictive value of these features is well established, long-term survival is occasionally seen in individuals with multiple poor prognostic factors. to further examine this phenomenon, histologic sections from 53 patients with malignant melanoma excised between the years 1977 and 1980 in whom reliable clinical follow-up data were obtai ...	2007	1951981
