[subtotal thyroid resection in severe, iodine-induced hyperthyroidism].iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis due to iodine application in high amounts in patients with circumscript or disseminated thyroid autonomy, is complicated by a prolonged course, mainly due to a resistance to conservative therapy with thiourea derivates. we therefore decided to perform an early subtotal thyroidectomy in 24 thyrotoxic patients. this measure is in contrast to the common opinion that surgery should only be performed after normalization of thyroid hormones. in all 24 patients with severe ...20144053769
postoperative care following internal urethrotomy.a randomized prospective study was set up to assess the role of postoperative catheter drainage and the value of hydraulic self-dilatation of the urethra after internal urethrotomy. sixty-two patients were admitted into the study and followed-up for two years. the results support the use of a no-catheter posturethrotomy management and advocate the encouragement of postoperative hydraulic self-urethral dilatation.20144049610
passive ankle dorsiflexion increases in patients after a regimen of tilt table-wedge board standing. a clinical report.we monitored the result of a tilt table-wedge board routine on the passive ankle dorsiflexion of 20 patients consecutively to determine the effectiveness of the treatment. the calculated frequency of the treatment, which was applied for 30 minutes on each of 5 to 22 treatment days, ranged from 2.3 to 6.4 treatments a week. all patients demonstrated increased passive ankle dorsiflexion. the increases ranged from 3 to 17 degrees and occurred at a calculated rate of 0.11 to 1.0 degrees a day. we be ...20144059330
intracorporeal cavernosa streptokinase as adjuvant therapy in the delayed treatment of idiopathic priapism.late treatment of priapism may be associated with unsuccessful aspiration and irrigation of the corpora cavernosa. in such cases intracorporeal instillation of streptokinase resulted in dramatic improvement in detumescence. a subsequent venous shunt procedure achieved good results.20143999206
digestive tract cell proliferation and food consumption patterns of ha/icr mice.the relationship between the daily pattern of food consumption and the proliferation rate of the oesophagus, stomach, forestomach, small intestine and colon of ha/icr mice was examined. proliferative activity was determined by [3h]tdr incorporation on a wet weight tissue basis, along with selective counting of labelled nuclei. under conditions of ad libitum feeding with a 12 hr light cycle (lights on at 0600) mice eat most of their food during the dark period. a distinct circadian rhythm was obs ...20144005933
