hysterographic double-outlined uterine cavity: a sign of unsuspected pregnancy.	a review of three hysterograms inadvertently performed during early pregnancy reaffirms the regular appearance of infiltration of aqueous opaque media into the substance of the decidua, producing the sign of the double-outlined uterine cavity. although such endometrial opacification may also occur during the late secretory phase, its recognition should arouse suspicion of pregnancy. a coexisting intrauterine filling defect may then be more confidently diagnosed as an amniotic sac.	2001	98013

an assessment of four methods for the assay of amylase activity.	this paper describes an investigation carried out to select a reagent kit for amylase assay to replace the wohlgemuth method currently in use in our laboratory. the following four commercial kits were assessed: amylochrome, phadebas, dyamyl-l and amylotube. the results showed that the first three kits which employed chromogenic substrates gave better reproducibility than the amylotube kit which used plain starch substrate and the starch-iodine reaction. results obtained with the former methods c ...	2001	94982
ventricular tachycardia terminated by carotid sinus massage.	carotid sinus massage affects supraventricular arrhythmias primarily through vagotonic effects on the sinus and av nodes, but vagal innervation of the ventricle also exists and has been shown to have functional significance. the case presented here illustrates an unusual example of a ventricular tachycardia that was repeatedly converted to normal sinus rhythm by carotid sinus massage following administration of digoxin. the clinician should be aware that a wide qrs-complex tachycardia that respo ...	2001	95222

the effect of propranolol on normal physiologic tremor.	it has been demonstrated that intravenous propranolol produces a 34-60% decrease in normal physiological tremor. the decrease, in response to small doses of the drug (less than 12 mug/kg), was linearly proportional to the baseline tremor size and occurred only following a 10 min delay. it is possible that the effect on tremor is due to the formation of a highly specific centrally acting metabolite of propranolol.	2001	60218

cardiac lesions induced by chemicals.	chemically induced cardiomyopathies are frequently the consequences of a cardiac metabolic imbalance brought about by exaggerated functional affects. the infarctlike lesions induced by adrenergic beta-receptor stimulants and the vasodilating antihypertensives serve as examples of this phenomenon. direct cardiotoxic mechanisms not related to cardiovascular functional effects are responsible for another class of toxic cardiomyopathy. an example of this is the cardiomyopathy produced by the anthrac ...	2001	31282
instability of cerebral blood-flow in insulin-dependent diabetics.	cerebral blood-flow (cbf) was measured in 23 insulin-dependent diabetics before and 2--3 h after insulin/breakfast. in 10 of these patients cbf changed significantly during the day, with a significant fall in 9. in 3 patients who had the greatest falls in cbf there was a concomitant sensation of an impending faint. thus cbf is unstable in insulin-dependent diabetics in contrast to control subjects in who there is little or no variation. sudden falls in cbf in insulin-dependent diabetics may expl ...	2001	92619

a model of the breakdown and removal of the chromatin components during feulgen acid hydrolysis.	a stochastic model of feulgen hydrolysis is proposed. the model, constructed so as to embody the main features of chromatin structure, is simple enough to allow the calculation of extraction rates. extraction rate curves generated by the model are compared with experimental curves obtained under various conditions (different fixatives and hydrolysis solutions). a good correspondence is found between the experiments and the predictions of the model.	2001	60310
displacement chromatography of simple protein mixtures, using carboxymethyldextrans.	simple mixtures of proteins have been used as models to demonstrate that the fractionation of proteins by carboxymethyldextrans on an anion exchanger (peterson, e.a. (1978) anal. biochem. 90, 767--784) is fundamentally a displacement process. examples include the separation of two closely similar proteins, the a and b forms of beta-lactoglobulin. the use of carboxymethyldextran spacers was essential for good separation, since resolution based on protein--protein displacement was generally inadeq ...	2001	95346

featured organism: reductive evolution in bacteria: buchnera sp., rickettsia prowazekii and mycobacterium leprae.	obligate intracellular bacteria commonly have much reduced genome sizes compared to their nearest free-living relatives. one reason for this is reductive evolution: the loss of genes rendered non-essential due to the intracellular habitat. this can occur because of the presence of orthologous genes in the host, combined with the ability of the bacteria to import the protein or metabolite products of the host genes. in this article we take a look at three such bacteria whose genomes have been ful ...	2001	18628941
