when is a chrysanthemum dermatitis not a chrysanthemum dermatitis? the case for describing florists' chrysanthemums as dendranthema cultivars.in order to provide a new reference point in the dermatological literature from which the naming of florists' chrysanthemums may be regularised and standardised, the case is presented for the use of the generic name dendranthema together with a cultivar name in place of a specific epithet. a review of cultivar specificity in chrysanthemum dermatitis is also presented.20144064646
effect of ocular compression on intraocular pressure.a prospective double-blind controlled study was undertaken to determine the effects of different compression times applied to soften the eye on normal subjects. application of the honan intraocular pressure reducer (hipr) produced a significantly (p less than 0.02) greater decrease in intraocular pressure when applied for 40 minutes (14.3 mmhg sd = 1.7) when compared to a five-minute application (8.8 mmhg sd = 1.7). no untoward effects were noted in these patients. physiologic effects of externa ...20144058845

omental protection of autogenous arterial reconstruction following femoral prosthetic graft infection.vascular graft infections in the femoral region that require synchronous revascularization are generally reconstructed with prosthetic grafts via extra-anatomic routes. if in situ revascularization is required, then autologous tissue provides optimal results. a particular challenge in this circumstance is achieving soft tissue coverage of the reconstruction where wide and radical débridement has removed the tissues ordinarily used for this purpose. if muscle flaps are not available or possible, ...20144009844

[function of rem sleep].the author gives a review of the biological and psychological functions ascribed to paradoxical sleep. most of the investigative work in the field has been dedicated to proving a relationship between rem sleep and learning. for intellectual learning the evidence is inconclusive, whereas there do seem to exist some ties between rem time and emotional learning. rem sleep functioning should not be viewed separately from the functions of nrem sleep and the waking state.20144077002
[method of treating parkinsonism with metamizil in combination with galanthamine (clinico-experimental basis)].using experimental models of parkinsonism, imitating the hypertonus of the parasympathetic system (hypokinesia, rigidity and tremor) following the intraperitoneal injection of the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor galanthamin (15 mg/kg) to mice, the authors showed that the m-cholinoblocker metamisyl (2 mg/kg) blocks all manifestations of the cns parasympathetic hypertonus whereas the n-cholinoblocker eterofen (30 mg/kg) increases them. based on the theory developed by the authors as to the reciproc ...20143993298
digital angiography of pulsatile masses in the neck.twenty-six consecutive patients with pulsatile neck masses were studied with digital subtraction angiography (dsa) by venous injection, computed tomography (ct), and conventional direct angiography. the neck masses proved to be secondary to tortuous and ectatic carotid or subclavian arteries in 13 cases, resulted from subclavian artery aneurysms in three cases, and resulted from tumor in 10 cases. dsa alone was sufficient for diagnosis in 16 of 26 cases. ct was performed in 15 cases and was cont ...20143923799
t-lymphocyte subset phenotypes: a multisite evaluation of normal subjects and patients with aids.the present study was undertaken to determine normal ranges for blood lymphocytes labeled with the monoclonal antibodies okt3, okt11, okt4, and okt8 and for the okt4/okt8 ratio. in addition, 26 patients with aids, 51 aids suspects, and 44 patients with infections were studied. the results of these determinations from six different study sites indicate that there is excellent intersite agreement in normal values obtained. these normal ranges may be used in clinical laboratory reporting. data from ...20143930126

activation of membrane-bound adenylate cyclase by glucagon in neurospora crassa.membrane-bound adenylate cyclase in neurospora crassa is activated by glucagon. half-maximal effect is observed at hormone concentrations of about 10 nm. after solubilization of the enzyme with lubrol-px, the glucagon effect is lost. incubation of neurospora cells with glucagon leads to a decrease in the activity of glycogen synthetase (ec 2.4.1.11) and to an increase in the activity of glycogen phosphorylase (ec 2.4.1.1) and in the rate of glycogenolysis.20144263508

bone scintigraphy in the diagnosis of pulmonary calcification in multiple myeloma.we present a case of multiple myeloma in which pulmonary calcification was clinically shown by bone scintigraphy and subsequently confirmed at autopsy. it is suggested that, in patients with myeloma, radionuclide bone scanning may be of value for differentiating deposits in the lung due to calcification from those due to other types of pulmonary infiltration revealed by chest x-rays. a thorough review of the relevant literature is presented.20144076242
time-dependent interfacial charging effects of electrical fields applied to biological systems.an important aspect of the interaction of a biological system with an externally produced electric field is that of charge separation and interfacial charging. this aspect has been ignored in some recent experimental and theoretical work. in the case of small regions of lower electrical resistivity imbedded in a higher resistivity medium, charge separation across the lower resistivity regions will result in charging of the interfaces between the lower and higher resistivity regions. the field pr ...20144033161

dosimetry of anterior chest treatment by 10 mv x-rays using a tissue compensating filter.the dose uniformity of anterior chest treatments resulting from a missing tissue compensating filter has been studied. patient dosimetry with 10 mv x-rays was simulated using film, an ionization chamber, and thermoluminescent dosimetry (tld). the results show that the compensating filter greatly improved the dose uniformity of a homogeneous phantom. however, the improvement for an inhomogeneous phantom and for patients was found to be less impressive. when using the filter, the increase in surfa ...20134070684
[reconstructive plastic surgery of the humeral condyles following removal of endoprostheses of the elbow versus arthrodesis].the condyles of the elbow are of utmost importance for the stability of this joint. this is particularly evident in cases where elbow prostheses had to be removed because of loosening or infection and where the condyles had been deliberately resected at the primary operation. in order to obtain a functional elbow with sufficient stability and mobility after removal of the prostheses, we can reconstruct the condyles by means of a large autologous bone graft, which we take from the midpart of the ...20133658417
computer-aided diagnosis of dermatologic disorders.in conclusion, several computer programs have been developed to aid diagnosis in dermatology. these have used various methods to reach a diagnosis, with some earlier programs using probabilistic techniques and later programs using cognitive models. several current trends, if they continue, would indicate that computer-assisted diagnosis may play a greater role. the growing number of physicians who own the prerequisite computing resources will probably want diagnostic software to accompany their ...20133536227

rapid induction of hemopoietic neoplasms in newborn mice by a raf(mil)/myc recombinant murine retrovirus.3611 msv, a raf oncogene-transducing murine retrovirus, induced fibrosarcomas in newborn mice after a latency of 4 to 8 weeks. in contrast, newly constructed recombinant murine retroviruses carrying the myc oncogene did not induce tumors before greater than or equal to 9 weeks. a combination of both oncogenes in an infectious murine retrovirus induced hematopoietic neoplasms in addition to less prominent fibrosarcomas and pancreatic acinar dysplasia 1 to 3 weeks after inoculation. the hematologi ...20134009794
[unusual cause for the development of hemoperitoneum].the authors describe an unusual origin of haemoperitoneum in a young woman. the hemoperitoneum appeared twice in a period of 10 months. the first attack was mild and atypic. in both cases the hemoperitoneum was preceded by a sexual intercourse, during which the ovary resp. the ovarian cyst were injured. the authors suggest that the coital rupture of the ovary is a very common cause of these states. the diagnosis of inapparent bleeding in the abdominal cavity is always very difficult and without ...20133788343
effect of age, sex, and body surface area on echocardiographic left ventricular wall mass in normal subjects.m-mode echocardiography was used to estimate left ventricular wall mass in 136 older normal subjects (group i: 78 men and 58 women, ages 20 to 97 years) and 105 younger normal subjects (group ii: 52 male and 53 female subjects, ages 1 day to 23 years). echocardiographic left ventricular mass (in grams) was estimated from the following formula: left ventricular mass = 1.05 ([ left ventricular internal diastolic dimension + ventricular septal thickness (diastole) + posterior wall thickness (diasto ...20133804398
reversible somatosensory evoked potential changes with neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser use.reversible prolongation and dissolution of the tibial somatosensory evoked potential (sep) was observed with operative use of the neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (nd:yag) laser during extirpation of a foramen magnum meningioma. rapid normalization of the sep followed irrigation with cool saline. the absence of postoperative dorsal column deficit suggests that heat-related physiological changes occurred before the point of irreversible tissue injury. should intraoperative sep monitoring prove a ...20133683778
classification of spinal cord vascular malformations.through the aid of developments in the neuroradiological sciences, great attention has been given to the diagnosis and treatment of vascular malformations of the spinal cord. some of these are congenital, such as intramedullary vascular malformations and arteriovenous fistulae supplied by the spinal cord. others are rather frequent and appear in old age. due to their poor prognosis when not treated, precise determinations and sufficient knowledge are of the utmost importance.20134070669
phase manipulation, shift work, and jet lag: an overview.this overview stresses why it is important to avoid the effect of masking and presents a model of the mechanism of circadian synchronization based on circadian changes of nonspecific responsiveness to various zeitgeber qualities. the significance of phase responses, transitory uncoupling, frequency multiplication, and flattening of circadian functions is considered. even circadian adaptation undergoes a circaseptan reactive periodicity.20133628348
