salvage of the exposed breast implant.exposure of silicone breast implants may occur as a result of hematoma and infection, inadequate soft tissue coverage, use of steroids, or trauma. in various series the incidence of severe complications is reported to range from 1% to 4%. when exposure of the implant has occurred, most authors recommend removal with replacement four to six months later. in 11 patients we successfully salvaged the exposed breast implant. the technique was initially presented in 5 patients in 1974. successful salv ...20123273018
the 28-kda/32-kda activation antigen ea 1. further characterization and signal requirements for its expression.the tumor promoter pma has been shown to induce the expression of a 28-kda/32-kda early activation ag, termed ea 1, on resting t cells. under nonreducing conditions, ea 1 was detected by sds-page as a diffuse band in the 60-kda region. in this study, this diffuse band was resolved into 56-kda and 60-kda bands. endoglycosidase f treatment of ea 1 resulted in the appearance of a single band with a mr of 48 kda. upon reduction, the 48-kda band was shown to be composed of 24-kda peptides. diagonal g ...20123264302

double-blind clinical trial of s-adenosylmethionine versus ibuprofen in the treatment of osteoarthritis.thirty-six subjects with osteoarthritis of the knee, the hip, and/or the spine were enrolled in a randomized double-blind study. patients received a daily oral dose of 1,200 mg of s-adenosylmethionine (same) or 1,200 mg of ibuprofen for four weeks. morning stiffness, pain at rest, pain on motion, crepitus, swelling, and limitation of motion of the affected joints were assessed before and after treatment. the total score obtained by the evaluation of all the individual clinical parameters improve ...20123318445

femoral component loosening in hip arthroplasty. cadaver study of subsidence and hoop strain.to aid in understanding loosening following cemented total hip arthroplasty, we conducted a cadaver study of the proximal femur with implanted cobalt-chromium and titanium femoral components of recent design, loaded through the head of the prosthesis. stem subsidence and strain in the proximal femur were measured. after proximal support of the implant collar was removed, we found that cobalt-chromium implants had a greater tendency to subside than titanium implants. subsidence of a femoral compo ...20123425274
acute orbital pseudotumor with iatrogenic intraorbital air: a diagnostic dilemma.a 13-year-old black female was referred with unilateral granulomatous uveitis and orbital inflammation of sudden onset. hematologic, serologic, bacteriologic, and ultrasonographic studies along with high resolution ct scans of the orbits were employed to determine the diagnosis and appropriate treatment. subconjunctival corticosteroid injection containing air prior to referral obfuscated the ultimate diagnosis of pseudotumor. the pediatric infectious disease service delayed definitive treatment ...20123454372
[difficulties in the diagnosis of epilepsy in children].on the basis of an analysis of 3 cases it was shown that the occurrence of seizure-like symptoms with abnormal eeg and history data suggesting possible damage to the central nervous system are not always sufficient for an unequivocal diagnosis of epilepsy and for beginning of long-term antiepileptic treatment which is not without adverse effects on the developing organism of a child. for establishing of correct diagnosis and avoiding of too hasty introduction of anticonvulsant treatment not only ...20123587512

biologic fixation of a press-fit titanium hip joint endoprosthesis.the rectangular cross section of a straight-stem prosthesis makes a primary stable, rotation-safe fixation possible that is independent of the individual form of the femur. due to the curvature of the femur, a three-dimensional large-area anchorage is achieved along the entire prosthesis length in the corticalis as well as in the spongiosa. the titanium-aluminum-niobium alloy is extremely biocompatible and enables the fast ongrowth of newly formed osseous tissue to act as secondary stabilization ...20123416526
induction and maintenance of swallowing responses in infants with dysphagia.a treatment package was used to induce and maintain swallowing with three infants who did not swallow food or liquid. prior to treatment, they received all nutrition and hydration via gastrostomy tube feedings. the treatment package consisted of least-to-most intrusive physical prompts, an eliciting stimulus, contingent social reinforcement, and repeated trials to induce and maintain swallowing. the design combined elements of reversal and changing criterion designs for all three infants. the pa ...20123417578

long-term response to carbamazepine: a retrospective study.carbamazepine is now used by many clinicians in the treatment of bipolar disorder (bd) refractory to standard treatments, including lithium and neuroleptics. little information is yet available about the utility and efficacy of this novel treatment during long-term use. we carried out a retrospective study of 50 patients (34 with bd) who had received carbamazepine for the treatment of a psychotic disorder. two-thirds (22) of the bd patients and two of the 16 patients with other diagnoses appeare ...20123372707

arteriolar oxygen reactivity: where is the sensor?the hypothesis that arterioles are intrinsically sensitive to oxygen was tested by comparing arteriolar diameter responses with local and global po2 changes in superfused hamster cheek pouch preparations. local po2 changes were produced by microapplication of fluid onto the surface of occluded or unoccluded aparenchymal arterioles or by cannulation and perfusion of arterioles in situ. global changes refer to po2 changes in the superfusate flowing over the entire preparation. local, effective po2 ...20123318502

elastic properties of relaxed, activated, and rigor muscle fibers measured with microsecond resolution.tension responses due to small and rapid length changes (completed within 40 microseconds) were obtained from skinned single-fiber segments (4- to 7-mm length) of the iliofibularis muscle of the frog incubated in relaxing, rigor, and activating solution. the fibers were skinned by freeze-drying. the first 500 microseconds of the responses for all three conditions could be described with a linear model, in which the fiber is regarded as a rod composed of infinitesimally small identical segments, ...20123266558

[efficacy of the conservative treatment of patients with inoperable esophageal cancer].the results of gamma-beam therapy of esophageal cancer leave much to be desired. however betatron therapy improves them. to compare the results of esophageal cancer therapy 4 therapeutic modalities were employed: the 1st group--chemoradiotherapy (methotrexate at a weekly dose of 45 mg), the 2nd group--chemoradiotherapy (methotrexate at a dose of 10 mg alternating with prospidin at a dose of 200 mg), the 3rd group--radiotherapy (inhibitory radiation), the 4th group--radiotherapy (gamma-beam thera ...20123339977

comparative bio-availability of theophylline whole and halved sustained-release tablets.in a randomised, multiple-dose, cross-over study in 14 healthy volunteers, plasma theophylline concentrations were compared during a 12-hour dosing interval after repeated administration of theophylline (euphyllin retard; byk gulden) as whole and halved tablets. bio-availability of theophylline from the halved tablets relative to the whole tablets was: 116% (100%, 134%) for the extent of absorption as judged by the area under the concentration time curve (auc) and 115% (99%, 135%) for the rate o ...20123299763
color drawings: a means of identifying problems in children.between the ages of seven and nine years, the child develops a schema or way to draw his version of the world. drawings are revealing in that they can help assess a child's behavior. figure drawings are useful in determining general cognitive development, self-image, and level of maturity (harris, 1963; dileo, 1973; dileo, 1983; and koppitz, 1968). as the child progresses through developmental stages in perceiving and using color, she similarly progresses in her drawing abilities. distinction, i ...20123272927

reduced mr acquisition time with the crocus technique.a technique to reduce magnetic resonance (mr) image acquisition time by approximately 50% is introduced. the conjugate reconstruction by off-center under-sampling (crocus) method samples only every other phase-encoded line in raw data space and uses the conjugate symmetry of the data to reconstruct a real image. if acquisition and image reconstruction were done in the simplest manner, this under-sampling would produce unacceptable image aliasing. however, if the phase-encoded lines are offset fr ...20123366964
