[arthroscopy of degenerative lesions of the internal meniscus. classification and treatment].in reference to 310 degenerative meniscal lesions (dml), we are proposing to classify these lesions into five types. they must be differentiated from arthrosis to which they are not automatically associated, even if the presence of cartilaginous lesions appears to be an important prognostic factor. likewise, studies by age groups mix pure traumatic lesions and properly so called dmls (which, by definition, do not involve a true initial trauma); the role of micro-traumas seems however probable. i ...20123602906

central nervous system lesions and advanced ovarian cancer.over the past 5 years we have seen seven cases of central nervous system tumors in patients with advanced or recurrent ovarian carcinoma. these have ranged in location from the conus medullaris to the brain and have varied in time of occurrence from the time of cancer diagnosis to 63 months following surgery. a diagnosis of metastatic ovarian carcinoma was established in six of the cases, while one patient had a second primary malignancy. all cases had prodromal and localizing neurologic symptom ...20123366397
enhancement of cytogenetic damage and of antineoplastic effect by caffeine in ehrlich ascites tumor cells treated with cyclophosphamide in vivo.enhanced cytogenetic damage by cyclophosphamide (cp) was observed when ehrlich ascites tumor cells were exposed in vivo to nontoxic concentrations of caffeine. one h before i.p. injection of 5-bromodeoxyuridine adsorbed to activated charcoal ehrlich ascites tumor-bearing mice treated i.p. with cp appear to have a dose-dependent increase in sister chromatid exchange rates and cell division delays. caffeine increased the survival time of the ehrlich ascites tumor-bearing mice treated with cp and m ...20123342394
a study comparing transcervical with transabdominal chorionic villus sampling (cvs).chorionic villus sampling (cvs) was performed in 50 anaesthetized patients before therapeutic abortion by the transabdominal route and then by the transcervical route. the two methods of villus sampling were equally successful in obtaining villi but the transcervical method was significantly better at obtaining chorionic villi greater than 10 mg in weight (chi 2 13.92 p less than 0.001). placental position did not affect villus recovery with either sampling method.20123342211
