effects of dihydroergotamine on psychomotor function, neuroendocrine parameters and blood pressure, in healthy volunteers.	following the infusion of 15 micrograms/kg of dihydroergotamine (dhe) a 50-fold rise in growth hormone plasma levels was observed in 9 healthy volunteers. prolactin (prl) secretion was depressed 240 minutes post infusion. for 170 min, diastolic blood pressure was increased reaching a peak of +19 mmhg at the end of the infusion. mild sedation and nausea were induced by the treatment for a total duration of 60 min.	2009	2687357
severe acquired aplastic anemia in children: 11-year experience with bone marrow transplantation and immunosuppressive therapy.	we reviewed the management and outcome of severe acquired aplastic anemia in 36 patients younger than 18 years old between march 1977 and june 1987. in most patients, no cause could be found. the best therapeutic results were achieved with allogeneic bone marrow transplantation from histocompatible related donors (14 patients), with a cure rate of 79%. bone marrow transplantation from mismatched related donors was attempted in two patients and failed in both. immunosuppression using antithymocyt ...	2009	2675660
