new problems in old bones: closed nailing of the shaft of the femur.closed medullary nailing is now established as a routine treatment of fractures of the shaft of the femur. however, the quality of the bone in elderly patients is such that serious technical difficulties may arise during the operation. three typical cases illustrate the problems that may occur and point the lesson that closed nailing in the elderly ought not to be undertaken by the inexperienced surgeon.20123508868
in vitro maintenance of a pure-cone retina.the retina of the lizard, sceloporus occidentalis, appears to have only cone photoreceptors. eyecups from this animal were incubated in media containing earle's balanced salts, supplemented with amino acids and vitamins, and gassed with 5% co2/95% o2. under these conditions, good morphology, protein synthesis, and normal cyclic amp and cyclic gmp levels were maintained for 1-2 days. this in vitro preparation is likely to be useful for pharmacological studies of cone photoreceptors.20123516917

functional and oncologic results after coloanal anastomosis for low rectal carcinoma.thirty-five patients who had adenocarcinoma of the middle third of the rectum were treated by resection and coloanal anastomosis. the aim of this study was to assess functional and oncologic results of an original technique of coloanal anastomosis. there was no operative mortality, and operative morbidity consisted of seven anastomotic leaks with two failures. among 31 patients assessed for functional results only one had unsatisfactory results. good continence was obtained within a few weeks fo ...20123337562

transmastoid encephaloceles. a case report.encephaloceles are uncommon abnormalities occurring in the pediatric age group. for the otolaryngologist they are usually encountered in the nasopharynx or nose, but may also be found in other sites adjacent to the brain. encephaloceles usually develop as a result of prior mastoid surgery, trauma, or infections; but it is extremely rare for large encephaloceles to occur congenitally in the mastoid. it is even more uncommon for there to be a second mastoid defect which would allow the brain to pr ...20123397238

synthetic substrates of lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase.investigation of the substrate specificity of lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase has been greatly aided by the use of synthetic particles containing the molecular lipid substrates and the apolipoprotein activators of the enzyme. these synthetic particles, in vesicle or disc-like micelle form, are described in some detail noting their preparation, properties, advantages, and limitations as substrates for lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase. the reactions of the enzyme with the synthetic parti ...20123531374
a u-shaped anterior capsulotomy and modified j-loop posterior chamber intraocular lens with new positioning holes.the procedure used for an anterior capsulotomy is extremely important for successful in-the-bag intraocular lens insertion. an incision line in the extreme periphery may obscure the margin of the residual anterior capsule and make it difficult to confirm the position of the implanted lens. i describe a u-shaped anterior capsulotomy that facilitates in-the-bag insertion, discuss the importance of the location of the positioning holes for proper rotation, and introduce a modified j-loop posterior ...20123585770

degenerative retinoschisis with giant outer layer breaks and retinal detachment.five unusual cases of retinal detachment were caused by giant (more than 90 degrees) posterior breaks in the outer layer of degenerative retinoschisis. all retinas were successfully reattached by a variety of surgical techniques. the two cases managed with scleral buckling required subsequent buckle removal because of macular distortion. treatment with cryotherapy or laser, together with intraocular air and postoperative positioning, gave better anatomic results.20123970115

nasobiliary drainage following endoscopic sphincterotomy. a useful method of preventing and treating early complications.the authors analyze a retrospective study of 850 patients who underwent endoscopic sphincterotomy (es). one group of patients (705) routinely had nasobiliary drainage following es as a prophylactic measure to prevent complications, while 145 patients were not drained. complications, mortality and the need for emergency surgery were compared in both groups. in the drained group, the complication rate was 2% vs 10.3% in the nondrained group (p less than 0.001), and mortality was 0.4% vs 2.7% (p = ...20123503371
minor but not major histocompatibility antigens of thymus epithelium tolerize precursors of cytolytic t cells.treatment of fetal thymuses with 2-deoxyguanosine depletes these organs of many haematopoietic cells, and if such thymuses are transplanted into allogeneic athymic nude mice, intrathymic development of cytolytic t-lymphocyte precursors (ctl-p) occurs, including those which are specific for class i major histocompatibility complex (mhc) antigens expressed by the thymus epithelium. thus, t cells from balb/c (h-2d) nude mice transplanted with allogeneic c57bl/6 (h-2b) thymic epithelium can be stimu ...20123486368

predictability of maxillary surgery: a comparison of internal and external reference marks.internal reference lines have traditionally been used to correlate model work with maxillary surgery. an external point of reference has been suggested for more accurate positioning of the maxilla during surgery. this study compared the predictability of two groups of patients undergoing le fort i maxillary osteotomies with either internal reference lines or an external reference point. in the group in which an external reference point was employed, the position of the maxillary central incisor ...20123459981

[bicondylar fractures].late results after operative treatment of 59 bicondylar fractures were excellent in 38% and fair or poor in 35%. classic y- and t-types are rare (30.5%), while comminution and soft tissue lesions (50.7%) are frequent and worsen the prognosis. in about three-fourths of fractures functional rehabilitation is possible after internal fixation according to ao principles. with advanced age and poor bone stock early functional nonoperative treatment is advisable, even though nonunion must be expected t ...20123405601
problematic diagnosis of bronchial foreign bodies in children.bronchial foreign bodies by children are dangerous and require immediate therapeutic measures. findings and significance of chest film in the diagnosis of bronchial foreign bodies in 24 children were analysed. all patients were symptomatic. 18 patients had an abnormal and 6 normal auscultation finding. in three cases the physician did not suspect aspiration, and the diagnosis was delayed, which caused the death of one child. roentgenpositive foreign bodies were found in 8 and -negative in 16 cas ...20123563335
