| processing of wave patterns in the lateral line system parallels to auditory processing. | processing of wave patterns in the lateral line system is reviewed with particular reference to similarities with auditory processing. four levels are considered: the receptor cell, stimulus parameter encoding in the afferent nerve, the neural organization of stimulus localization, and analysis of complex waves. the high degree of parallelism at all these levels to auditory processing is considered as a strong evidence for a common evolutionary origin of these two systems. | 2009 | 3077007 |

| thoracic actinomycosis. | nine cases of thoracic actinomycosis treated in the period 1966-1987 are reported. three of the patients presented with a clinical picture of empyema and six were admitted for suspected primary pulmonary neoplasm. no case was correctly diagnosed preoperatively. the final diagnosis was based on direct microscopy (2) or culture (1) of drained pus in the empyema cases and on histologic examination of resected tissue in the others. in one case the correct diagnosis was missed when a palpable tumour ... | 2009 | 2749211 |
| structure-activity study of the mechanism of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (mptp)-induced neurotoxicity. ii. evaluation of the biological activity of the pyridinium metabolites formed from the monoamine oxidase-catalyzed oxidation of mptp analogs. | in the accompanying paper, several tetrahydropyridine analogs of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (mptp) were screened for their abilities to be oxidized by monoamine oxidase (mao) to pyridiniums and to produce neurotoxicity in mice. we reported that most of the analogs were oxidized by mao to pyridiniums and some of the analogs were neurotoxic. we concluded that the capacity of a tetrahydropyridine mptp analog to be oxidized by mao to a pyridinium was a necessary, but not sufficient ... | 2009 | 2786565 |

| [effect of glucocorticosteroid therapy on immunologic indicators in patients with sarcoidosis and idiopathic fibrosing alveolitis]. | immunological findings were recorded in 22 patients with active sarcoidosis and 12 patients with idiopathic fibrosing alveolitis. in addition, the patients' endopulmonary cytograms were considered. immunological evidence involved the use of bronchoalveolar lavage, bronchoscopy, peripheral blood. administration of corticosteroid therapy resulted in alveolitis attenuation both in sarcoidosis and fibrosing alveolitis. common features of immune response of sarcoidosis and idiopathic fibrosing alveol ... | 2009 | 2811240 |
| pterygium colli: surgical treatment. | the authors report three cases of pterygium colli. two of them presented as part of turner's syndrome and were treated following a personal technique. the third, which was probably due to jugular lymphatic obstruction, was treated according to the butterfly excision technique of shearin. | 2009 | 2702365 |
| training inspiratory resistance in duchenne dystrophy using adapted computer games. | computer games were modified to encourage respiratory effort by two groups of patients with duchenne muscular dystrophy. one group trained during the first six months of the study, the other during the second six months. inspiratory effort was increased by their having to breathe through a mask to both start and continue the games. pulmonary function tests were done at the beginning of the trial and six, 12 and 18 months later, when forced vital capacity, respiratory muscle endurance and strengt ... | 2009 | 2806735 |
