indirect fertility analysis in painters exposed to ethylene glycol ethers: sensitivity and specificity.	semen analysis has proven useful in the clinical diagnosis of infertility and is the most widely used method of monitoring the effects of occupational exposure on male fertility. collection and analysis of semen samples in a field setting, however, require a highly motivated population and excellent technical resources, limiting the widespread application of the method. techniques of monitoring male worker fertility using questionnaires to avoid some of the difficulties of semen analysis have be ...	2007	1951370
new serologic tests for early detection of coccidioidomycosis.	arizona college students suspected of having recently acquired coccidioidomycosis were tested for anticoccidioidal antibodies and circulating fungal antigens using conventional antibody detection methods and new elisa procedures. of 233 patients with compatible symptoms, 26 had anticoccidioidal antibodies detected by conventional tests. elisa detected antibodies in sera from 20 of these patients and also from another 25 patients. patients with antibodies detected by either conventional or elisa ...	2007	1899877

respiratory-related recruitment of the masseter: response to hypercapnia and loading.	to test the hypothesis that a muscle that closes the jaw, the masseter, can be recruited by ventilatory stimuli, we studied the electromyographic activation of the masseter and genioglossus in seven normal awake males who were exposed in random order to progressive hyperoxic hypercapnia, inspiratory threshold loading (-40 cmh2o), and combined hypercapnia and loading. with hypercapnia, the masseter was generally recruited after the genioglossus had been activated. once recruited, activation of bo ...	2007	1885444
relation between airway responsiveness and serum ige in children with asthma and in apparently normal children.	although asthma diagnosed by a physician is known to be related to serum ige levels, it is not known whether there is a relation between the level of ige and airway hyperresponsiveness to a methacholine challenge. the characteristics of asymptomatic persons that predispose them to airway hyperresponsiveness are also unknown.	2007	1891008

hypothyroidism following combined treatment for hypopharyngeal and laryngeal carcinoma.	the development of hypothyroidism following combined treatment for pharyngeal and laryngeal cancer has received little attention in the literature. we prospectively studied 32 patients over 4 years to determine the incidence of such hypothyroidism and to examine the effect of hemithyroidectomy associated with a combined treatment modality. all patients were men with pharyngeal or laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas and no prior history of thyroid disease. treatment consisted of radical surgery (3 ...	2007	1951886
the significance of squamous differentiation in endometrial carcinoma. data from a gynecologic oncology group study.	squamous differentiation is identified in about 25% of endometrial adenocarcinomas (ac). its significance has been the subject of debate for decades, and it has been reported that the prognosis of adenoacanthoma (aa) is better than, the same as, and worse than that of ac. part of this confusion has resulted from semantic differences relating to the use of aa and adenosquamous carcinoma (as). to investigate the prognostic importance of squamous differentiation in endometrial carcinomas and compar ...	2007	1913465

echocardiographic determination of aortic and pulmonary valve areas in subjects with normal hearts.	two-dimensional and doppler echocardiography were performed in 70 subjects (aged 1 day to 16 years, body surface area from 0.08 to 2.1 m2) to determine aortic and pulmonary valve areas in normal children and adolescents. valve areas were determined by the continuity equation using echo-determined ventricular outflow tract diameters and doppler-determined flow velocities from the outflow tracts and corresponding great arteries. left ventricular outflow tract diameter ranged from 0.3 to 2.2 cm and ...	2007	1892085
reliability of prognostic models in malignant melanoma. a 10-year follow-up study.	certain histologic and clinical features of malignant melanoma have been shown to be indicators of prognosis, both collectively and individually. even though the predictive value of these features is well established, long-term survival is occasionally seen in individuals with multiple poor prognostic factors. to further examine this phenomenon, histologic sections from 53 patients with malignant melanoma excised between the years 1977 and 1980 in whom reliable clinical follow-up data were obtai ...	2007	1951981

interictal hm-pao spect: a routine investigation in patients with medically intractable complex partial seizures?	single photon emission computed tomography (spect) is increasingly being used as an adjunctive technique in the localisation of epileptogenic foci prior to surgery. as yet, few studies have been undertaken to establish the clinical associations of areas of reduced cerebral perfusion. sixty-three consecutive patients (15 male, 48 female; median age 30 years, range 14-57 years) with medically intractable complex partial seizures (median/month 8, range 1-36) were investigated as outpatients. all ha ...	2006	1478200

solitary cervical lymphoma presenting as a neurofibroma.	a patient is described who presented with cervical cord compression. the imaging and operative findings were typical of a neurofibroma of the right third cervical root. however, histological studies confirmed that the tumour was a b-cell lymphoma. isolated spinal lymphomas can therefore occur and may present as nerve sheath tumours.	2006	1472324
aspects of the analytic relationship.	in this article the analysand-analyst relationship is investigated from the classical and from the post-classical point of view. this leads to the distinction of four fundamental aspects of the analytic relationship: the realistic relationship, the working relationship, the transference relationship, and the primary relationship. similarities and differences between these various aspects of the analytic relationship are discussed. examples of confusion about the aspects are given. disagreement a ...	2006	1797722

marking width, calibration from tip and tine diameter of periodontal probes.	the present study comprises an investigation of 7 different probe types, representing currently-marketed major designs (who-cpitn, williams, michigan), as well as available calibration systems (engraved, etched and painted markings). width of markings, accuracy of calibration from probe tip, and tine diameter at the tip and at specified points along the tine were assessed, using a stereomicroscope at a magnification of x 40. blind duplicate measurements of these probe tine characteristics were 1 ...	2006	1894745

[differentiation therapy of acute promyelocytic leukemia: two successful cases of remission induction by all-trans retinoic acid].	we described two pediatric patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (apl) who were successfully induced into complete remission with all-trans retinoic acid (atra, 45 mg/m2 per day) after failing on conventional chemotherapy. initial response was observed as correction of dic within a week of treatment. hematologically, initial increase of maturing leukocytes reached a peak peripheral wbc count on the 16th and 20th day, respectively. however, these seemingly differentiated leukocytes retained ...	2006	1635178
total exenteration, two or one ostomy.	total exenterations require fecal and urinary diversions, necessitating ostomies in the anterior abdominal wall. this article was done to explore the possibility of extremely low anastomoses of the intestine to the anal stump, to reduce the number of ostomies to only one for the urinary diversion. although technically feasible, the long term follow-up evaluation of these patients resulted in us having reservations concerning function.	2006	1636136
