the venoarteriolar reflex in diabetic and other neuropathies.	limb dependency activates the venoarteriolar reflex (var), resulting in reflex vasoconstriction (rv). since others have reported the var to fail in diabetic neuropathy, we examined the reliability of this test in detecting sympathetic failure in diabetic and other neuropathies. we studied 40 controls, 49 diabetic subjects, and 29 patients with other neuropathies. the mean rv was greater in controls than in diabetics or other neuropathies, but there were marked overlaps among groups. we conclude ...	2009	2812329

'catatonia' due to disulfiram toxicity.	in an alcoholic patient, catatonia developed while he was receiving disulfiram (antabuse). resolution of the question whether his state was classically catatonic required a detailed review of the literature on the subject. the conclusion reached is that the original definition still holds for psychiatric illness, but application of the term to neurological and metabolic states has often been based on imprecise criteria and failure to consider akinetic mutism and extrapyramidal motor disturbances ...	2009	2742552

[cataract surgery 220 years ago].	the author reports on the first 14 cataract extractions performed by karl kaspar von siebold, a würzburg surgeon, in 1766/67. he used daviel's method. at that time there was no anesthesia, no sterility or even antisepsis, and no optical correction of aphakia for his patients. four eyes were lost due to infection and another four had much poorer vision after surgery due to irregular corneal scarring. in six cases both patient and physician were satisfied with the result. siebold's case reports ex ...	2009	2689768
microvascular angina and panic disorder.	recent cardiac studies have suggested that patients with chest pain and angiographically normal coronaries have "microvascular angina" (mva). in contrast, prior psychiatric studies have shown that some of these patients have panic disorder (pd). we compared the clinical and psychologic characteristics of fifteen patients with mva and fifteen patients with panic disorder (pd), and examined response to lactate infusion in a subgroup of mva patients. although 40 percent of mva patients met criteria ...	2009	2698394

retinal hemorrhage predicts neurologic injury in the shaken baby syndrome.	shaken baby syndrome consists of intracranial and intraocular hemorrhage in the absence of signs of direct trauma in infants who have sustained whiplash/shaking injuries. we evaluated 14 consecutive cases of presumed shaken baby syndrome seen at the university of michigan hospitals, ann arbor, between august 1983 and march 1988, to determine if the severity of retinal hemorrhage was predictive of the severity of acute neurologic injury. the severity of retinal hemorrhage was based on the type an ...	2009	2803095
non-contiguous regions of z-dna in a dna dodecamer.	the conformation of the self-complimentary dna dodecamer d(br5cgbr5cgaattbr5cgbr5cg) has been investigated in a variety of salt and solvent conditions by one and two-dimensional 1h nmr. in low salt aqueous solutions, the molecule forms a regular b-dna structure similar to the unmodified dodecamer. however, in aqueous solution containing high salt concentration and methanol, the dodecamer adopts a structure in which the br5cgbr5cg ends of the molecule are in a z-dna like conformation and the aatt ...	2009	2798135
interleukin 7 (murine pre-b cell growth factor/lymphopoietin 1) stimulates thymocyte growth: regulation by transforming growth factor beta.	the effects of interleukin 7 (il7) previously known as murine pre-b cell growth factor/lymphopoietin 1 on the growth of murine thymocytes was investigated. in the presence of a suboptimal dose of phytohemagglutinin, il7 induced a dose-dependent increase in thymocyte proliferation which was comparable to that induced by il1. additionally il7 was shown to synergize with a suboptimal dose of il1 to enhance thymocyte proliferation. thymocyte proliferation induced by il7, like that induced by il1, wa ...	2009	2786474
ehlers-danlos syndrome type iv (eds iv) as model of a defective biopolymer composite material.	the connective tissue of a lethal eds iv case was investigated for the reasons of the manifested disturbances of the arterial wall. this functional disorder was attributed to the mechanical decoupling of elastin and collagen, with the premise of a composite material consisting of cellular, fibrillar, lamellar and other matrix components. a conceivable relation between the manifested deficiency of type iii collagen and a disturbed anchoring of elastin is shown. these findings are supported by bio ...	2009	2743768

sonographic and pathological staging of patients with clinically localized prostate cancer.	we evaluated 64 patients with clinically localized prostate cancer (on the basis of rectal examination, serum acid phosphatase, bone scan and pelvic computerized tomography scan) by transrectal sonography before radical prostatectomy. of the 48 patients with histologically proved localized prostate cancer sonography overstaged the disease in 5 (10%) and correctly staged it in 43 (90%). all overstaged cancer patients were scanned after either prostatic biopsy (4) or transurethral prostatectomy (1 ...	2009	2681836
regulation of plasminogen activators and their inhibitors in rheumatic diseases: new understanding and the potential for new directions.	over the past several years there has been a rapid expansion in our understanding of the fibrinolytic system. this includes knowledge of the components, availability of recombinant reagents and a better understanding of the regulation of fibrinolysis in health and disease. disturbances in the regulation of the balance between fibrin deposition and removal have been implicated in a number of inflammatory diseases including certain rheumatic diseases. this overview summarizes our knowledge of the ...	2009	2681762

cutaneous histiocytosis syndromes.	cutaneous histiocytosis may take two principal forms. it is either a benign proliferative process or a relentless, progressive process with a poor prognosis. in histiocytic medullary reticulosis, histiocytes demonstrate nuclear atypia and the outcome is uniformly fatal. benign cephalic histiocytosis x causes lesions similar to those of histiocytosis x, but langerhans' cells are absent. in congenital self-healing histiocytosis x, the letterer-siwe-like cutaneous infiltrate contains langerhans' ce ...	2009	2999740

[primary and secondary neoplasms of the salivary glands in the province of trieste (1977-1986). histopathological review and epidemiological picture of 151 cases].	the authors carried out a histopathological and epidemiological study on 151 cases of primary and secondary neoplasms of the salivary glands. the parotid gland was involved in 117 cases (78.5%). the tumours were malignant in 20% (30 cases) of the lesions. the most common neoplasms were pleomorphic adenoma (74 cases) and adenolymphoma (35 cases). the occurrence of the latter were, for both sexes, directly correlated to the age of the subjects. the malignant neoplasms were also in direct relation ...	2009	2626276
3c syndrome: third occurrence of cranio-cerebello-cardiac dysplasia (ritscher-schinzel syndrome).	we report a child with an unusual pattern of malformations: severe delay in bone maturation, wide fontanelles and facial dysmorphism (evoking cleidocranial dysplasia), relative macroencephaly with cerebellar vermis hypoplasia, hypertelorism, skeletal abnormalities (1st ribs aplasia, multifocal sternal ossification centers, thin bones), septal defect, muscular waste, hypotonia and developmental delay. most of these features have been reported previously by ritscher, schinzel et al. in two sibs, w ...	2009	2650935
