diagnosis of right ventricular involvement in chronic inferior myocardial infarction by means of body surface qrs changes.	st segment elevation in right precordial leads is thought to be good predictor of right ventricular involvement in patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction. this view, however, is rapidly disappearing. therefore, using qrs changes in body surface potential maps in the chronic phase, we have attempted to differentiate patients with or without right ventricular involvement. thirty patients with chronic inferior myocardial infarction (2 or more months after onset) were studied, in whom 87 ...	2012	3370768
[obstacle to left ventricle ejection after mitral valvular replacement with a carpentier-edwards bioprosthesis. apropos of 2 cases].	impairment of the left ventricular ejection induced by a mitral prosthesis remains an infrequent complication, perhaps because it often is unrecognized. this complication would mainly be seen with ball prostheses or standard bioprosthesis used in mitral valve replacements with a small ventricle. two cases have been recently reported during mitral valve replacement. the two patients were successfully re-operated upon, one after five weeks and the second immediately after the first procedure. a re ...	2012	3408199

an ambulatory program for surgical residents and medical students.	teaching in the ambulatory setting is important for medical educators because of the economic, social, and medical trends that are pushing patients into this health care setting. while medical education in the hospital setting maintains its important role, education in ambulatory care demands innovations and new strategies. a pilot program based in a freestanding ambulatory surgery center has been developed as part of a surgical residency training program. in the present article, the author desc ...	2012	3361590

behavior of beta 2-microglobulin in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis, hemodiafiltration and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (capd).	beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-m) is the major component of a new form of amyloid deposit found in carpal tunnel syndrome and dialysis arthropathy of long-term hemodialysis patients. in 52 patients on maintenance hemodialysis, serum beta 2-m concentration was elevated to 37.9 +/- 1.4 (normal 1.2 +/- 0.6) mg/l. it was correlated with the time on hemodialysis (r = 0.43, p less than 0.01) and was inversely correlated with residual renal function (r = 0.87, p less than 0.001). in 20 patients on capd, ...	2012	3297439

specific methylation of plasma nonesterified fatty acids in a one-step reaction.	analysis of plasma nonesterified fatty acids (nefa) by gas-liquid chromatography requires procedures that are both lengthy and cumbersome. a 45-min direct methylation procedure was carried out at 24-29 degrees c on 150 microliter of plasma added with an internal standard in 5.0 ml of methanol-acetyl chloride 50:1 (v/v). to stop the reaction, 3 ml of 6.0% k2co3 was added. after addition of 150 microliter of hexane, shaking and centrifugation, an aliquot of the upper phase was injected into the ga ...	2012	3367090

[severe mutilations of the hand. preliminary evaluation of a study of 24 cases in an african milieu].	mutilations of the hand are very frequent in africa. more than any other disease, they destroy the hopes for a normal active life. the authors report the preliminary results of a study of 28 severe mutilations occurring between september 1983 and december 1985. the principal cause was traumatic, dominated by work accidents and household accidents. in the majority of cases, the anatomical defect was severe, but not always proportional to the functional and psycho-social repercussions. the inadequ ...	2012	3449002
glucoregulatory effects of bombesin in lean and genetically obese hyperglycaemic (ob/ob) mice.	1. plasma glucose and insulin responses to bombesin were examined in 12-15-week-old 12 hr fasted lean and genetically obese hyperglycaemic (ob/ob) mice. 2. bombesin (1 mg/kg ip) produced a prompt but transient increase of plasma insulin in lean mice (maximum increase of 50% at 5 min), and a more slowly generated but protracted insulin response in ob/ob mice (maximum increase of 80% at 30 min). plasma glucose concentrations of both groups of mice were increased by bombesin (maximum increases of 4 ...	2012	3315420

the role of extracellular proteases in cell proliferation and differentiation.	proteases have been shown to be capable of inducing two of the most fundamental biologic processes: mitogenesis and cellular differentiation. their proteolytic activity has been the most widely studied enzymatic activity implicated in inducing these processes. protease induction of mitogenesis is a major system for studying the control of this process and studies of possible transmembrane signals have been initiated. proteases have only recently begun to be used as tools for probing the inductio ...	2012	3320517

reappearance of embryonic neutral alpha-glucosidase isoenzyme in acid maltase-deficient muscle of japanese quail.	two neutral alpha-glucosidase isoenzymes were isolated from the muscle of japanese quails with late-onset acid maltase deficiency. one isoenzyme is predominantly expressed in embryonic muscle and the other in adult muscle. the time of switching from one to the other of these two neutral alpha-glucosidases was the same as in normal birds. the glycogen content in acid maltase-deficient muscle was not inversely proportional to the amount of embryonic neutral alpha-glucosidase. from the results, we ...	2011	3129300

electron backscatter corrections for parallel-plate chambers.	the wall of an ionization chamber is commonly assumed to have a negligible effect on chamber response in electron beams. for cylindrical chambers with thin walls this assumption is valid. however, parallel-plate chambers commonly possess large mechanical supports which may affect chamber response in a manner not accounted for in current dosimetry protocols. this is due to changes with energy in the relative backscattered electron fluence between chamber support and phantom materials. to investig ...	2011	3127670

maternal perception of fetal movements: the optimal duration of a recording period.	a regular count of perceived fetal movements by the mother has been proposed as a screening method for the early recognition of fetal distress. absence or a strongly decreased number of fetal movements during a particular period is considered as a sign of fetal distress. in the study presented, the optimal duration of a recording period for the maternal perception of fetal movements was examined. 186 pregnant patients at gestational ages of 32 and 38 weeks were asked to mark each perceived fetal ...	2011	3609431
