[some new points of view of cavity form].	the discovery of new data about the anatomy and physiology of the dental tissues, the improvement of the diagnostics of dental caries and the development of stomatological materials and technique are preconditions for a change of some concepts for the preparation of the cavities and their form. a new trend in cavity preparation is discussed on the base of literature data, characterized by maximum sparing of the hard dental tissues and a change in some of the geometric characteristics of the cavi ...	2008	2562576
comparison of a vasodilating beta-blocker and a cardioselective beta-blocker in long-term treatment of hypertension: a european multicentre study.	the therapeutic effectiveness and safety of indenolol, a vasodilating beta-blocker with beta 2-agonism, was compared with that of atenolol, a cardioselective beta-blocker, in a 1-year double-blind trial. a total of 143 hypertensive patients (diastolic blood pressure 95-115 mmhg after 1 month of placebo) were randomly allocated to either atenolol, 50 mg/day, or indenolol, 60 mg/day. if the target diastolic blood pressure (less than or equal to 90 mmhg) was not reached after 1 month, the beta-bloc ...	2008	2576667
localized in vivo proton spectroscopy of the bone marrow in patients with leukemia.	volume selective magnetic resonance (mr) proton spectroscopy was used to investigate the haemopoietic (iliac bone) and fatty bone marrow (tibia) in patients with leukemia and polycythaemia vera. selective measurements of the relaxation times t1 and t2 for the "water" and "fat" resonances in the bone marrow spectra were performed. nine patients with acute leukemia and three patients with chronic leukemia were examined at diagnosis. three patients with acute leukemia in remission were also examine ...	2008	2266805
anterior chamber depth with sulcus and capsular bag placed iogel lenses.	the anterior chamber depth was measured in 15 eyes with sulcus placed (group 1) and 12 eyes with bag placed (group 2) iogel pc-12 lenses, and in 11 eyes with bag placed iogel 1103 lenses (group 3). the mean anterior chamber depth was 3.29 mm in group 1, 4.17 mm in group 2, and 4.16 mm in group 3. the difference between the mean anterior chamber depth with sulcus and bag placed iogel pc-12 lenses is statistically significant (p less than .0005). one effect of the different anterior chamber depths ...	2008	2258810

a proposal for a classification system of enuresis based on overnight simultaneous monitoring of electroencephalography and cystometry.	a classification system of enuresis was proposed based on the overnight simultaneous electroencephalographic (eeg) and cystometric (cm) monitoring of 204 cases. the classification types proposed were as follows: (a) type i (125 cases, 61%). the first bladder contraction (fbc) in cm is noticed on cystometrogram (cmg) during stage 4 sleep when the bladder is full. an evidence of arousals in eeg appears and eeg changes to a stage 1 or 2 sleep pattern; however, enuresis occurs without waking.

pseudocyesis and depression. etiological and treatment considerations.	pseudocysesis, or false pregnancy, is generally classified as a conversion symptom and is usually treated as such with little success. depression, however, is a commonly associated phenomenon and is typically neglected in the formulation and treatment of this disorder. this report presents a case study in which the patient was referred for evaluation of pseudocyetic symptoms, but depression was judged to be the underlying problem. antidepressant therapy was instituted and found to be effective i ...	2008	2592850

diffuse axonal injury: analysis of 100 patients with radiological signs.	one hundred patients with head injuries who showed diffuse axonal injury on computed tomographic scans are reported. evaluation of the glasgow coma score, pupillary signs, and computed tomographic findings on admission led to an improved ability to forecast outcomes. our relatively good results as compared with other series, can be explained by the high proportion of children and by the liberal use of computed tomography to evaluate head injuries, thus revealing that concussion may sometimes be ...	2008	2234337
[possibilities for imaging intracardiac thrombi with indium 111 thrombocyte scintigraphy].	intracardiac thrombi can be localized and quantified by indium-111-labelling of thrombocytes with a high sensitivity and specificity. the scintigraphic procedure has a complementary evidence to echocardiography. scintigraphy shows activity and age of thrombosis, whereas echocardiography seems to be superior in determination of mass and localization. in older thrombi scintigraphy fails because of organisation and endothelialization of the thrombus surface. for the reason of determination of the a ...	2008	2516935
prea4 mrna distribution in brain areas.	the a4 amyloid precursor gene of alzheimer's disease (prea4 gene, app gene, pad gene) gives rise to three different transcripts, which are generated by alternative splicing. the three transcripts are prea4695, prea4751 and prea4770, according to the number of amino-acids in the primary translation product. previous expression studies did not discriminate between prea4751 and prea4770. we have analyzed the distribution of prea4 transcripts in four cortical brain areas in a way that allows us the ...	2008	2574867

duplex-scanning of the deep venous drainage in the evaluation of blood flow velocity of the cerebral vascular system in infants.	doppler investigations of the anterior cerebral (pericallosal) or internal carotid arteries have two major limitations: (1) flow velocity in one cerebral artery does not necessarily represent flow velocity in other cerebral arteries; (2) flow velocity spectra are influenced significantly by transducer-transferred pressure. furthermore, there are substantial pitfalls in the interpretation of arterial flow velocity data. we therefore examined doppler-shift waveforms of the deep venous drainage in ...	2008	2646588

effects of surface tension and viscosity on airway reopening.	we studied airway opening in a benchtop model intended to mimic bronchial walls held in apposition by airway lining fluid. we measured the relationship between the airway opening velocity (u) and the applied airway opening pressure in thin-walled polyethylene tubes of different radii (r) using lining fluids of different surface tensions (gamma) and viscosities (mu). axial wall tension (t) was applied to modify the apparent wall compliance characteristics, and the lining film thickness (h) was va ...	2008	2394665
a comparison of dilevalol and placebo in the management of isolated systolic hypertension using ambulatory monitoring.	1. the antihypertensive effect of dilevalol, a compound which combines beta-adrenoceptor blocking and vasodilating properties due to beta 2-adrenoceptor agonism, was studied in nineteen patients with isolated systolic hypertension (ish). a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial with two 4 week treatment periods was used to compare the efficacy of once daily dosing with dilevalol (in the range of 100-400 mg daily) against placebo. assessment of response involved both casua ...	2008	2271366
[the course of varicose disease. parallel retrospective study of 2 ethnic groups (catania-basel)].	authors presents a retrospective study with two different ethnic groups, one of them from catania and the other from basilea, with varicose veins and subjected to a saphenectomy. they studies the following parameters: age at the entrance, and when varicose veins appeared; correlation between varix appearance date and subjective symptomatology; and rapport between varix complications and its duration. the possible incidence of "ambiental factor" and contrasts between the two groups are considered ...	2008	2610399
