| "raynaud's disease" in migraineurs: one entity or two? | two cases are reported of patients who were diagnosed as having both migraine and raynaud's disease. because they were able to achieve effective control of both headaches and extremity temperature after undergoing a comprehensive approach--utilizing medication, biofeedback, and psychotherapy--it is suggested that both conditions are manifestations of the same disorder. it is recommended that a first step in approaching concurrent diagnoses of this type involve combined treatment as is often used ... | 2006 | 1446993 |
| [derivative spectroscopy and its use in sanitary hygiene control]. | an analytical method is developed for defining the residual quantities of rodenticide "brodifacoum" (talon) used in the control of harmful field rodents and especially for species microtus. the method is based on extracting the pesticide with chloroform and making use of spectrophotometry in the ultraviolet field in intervals 340-240 nm. the second derivative of the absorption is utilized as well as the band with maximum 288 nm and minimum 228 nm. the peak height in this interval is in proportio ... | 2007 | 2099444 |
| architectonics of the parietal and temporal association cortex in the strepsirhine primate galago compared to the anthropoid primate macaca. | a number of higher order association areas have been described in the parietal and temporal cortex of large-brained anthropoid primates such as macaca. however, little is known about the evolution of these areas, and the existence of homologous areas has not yet been clearly demonstrated in other mammalian groups. we addressed this issue by comparing the myelo- and cytoarchitecture of posterior association cortex in the anthropoid macaca to that of the small-brained, strepsirhine ("prosimian") p ... | 2007 | 1939733 |
| a comparative study for fiberoptic and video endoscopic determination of the extent in minimal changes of gastric mucosa using indigo dye spraying. | the image resolution of fiberoptic and video endoscopy was compared in a series of patients with early gastric cancer. eighteen patients were divided into two groups. one group of patients (n = 9) was evaluated with fiberoptic endoscopy while the second group (n = 9) was evaluated using video endoscopy. the extent of cancer invasion, with special attention to size, shape and type of the lesions, was evaluated in each patient. attempts were also made to identify the proximal and distal limits of ... | 2007 | 2374986 |

| regulation of alcohol consumption by the renin-angiotensin system: a review of recent findings and a possible mechanism of action. | the renin-angiotensin system has traditionally been associated with the regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance. in this review we summarize the data which ascribes a completely new function to this system, i.e., the regulation of alcohol consumption. in addition, we suggest a possible mechanism for this effect based on the concept of a satiety or stop process. the approach taken was to examine the effect on alcohol intake of a wide variety of drug, genetic, dietary, surgical and neurosurgic ... | 2007 | 1852316 |
| hla-dr gene frequencies in the japanese population obtained by oligonucleotide genotyping. | we determined hla-drb types of 375 randomly chosen healthy japanese donors using a set of 29 different sequence-specific oligonucleotide (sso) probes directed against various drb alleles. except for a few cases, these ssos enabled us to identify 33 different drb types including those detectable only by sso genotyping. gene frequencies were calculated for each of the drb types identified. the "blank" frequency calculated by our sso typing was essentially zero, in contrast to the considerably high ... | 2007 | 1839093 |
| discordant expression of tuberous sclerosis in monozygotic twins. | a set of 20-year-old female japanese twins, most probably monozygotic, had clinical evidence of tuberous sclerosis (ts). they were discordant for symptoms. one of the twins exhibited facial red-brown papules (adenoma sebaceum), a dorsal shagreen patch, intracerebral calcifications, angiomyolipoma in the right kidney, and hypopigmented macules; the other had only a few hypopigmented macules. modification of ts gene expression by the effects of environmental (extrinsic) factors is suggested. | 2007 | 1885853 |
| hypopituitarism following snake bite. | a patient who developed hypopituitarism after viperine envenomation is described. thrombosis as a part of disseminated intravascular coagulation may have been the cause. hypopituitarism should be suspected in such cases especially when there is associated acute renal failure. | 2007 | 1800512 |
| teaching problem solving in pathology. general professional education of physicians (gpep) anticipated. | the association of american medical colleges' 1984 publication, "physicians for the 21st century"--commonly known as the gpep (general professional education of physicians) report--advocates curricula that foster active, independent learning and acquisition of problem-solving skills. a curriculum along these principles was previously designed by the pathology department of the university of california school of medicine, davis. our experience at davis has shown that the curricular goals of the g ... | 2007 | 3755887 |
| effects of constraint on the oscillatory pattern of endosonic files. | when operated in air, the transverse oscillation of the endosonic file exhibits a series of nodes and antinodes along its length with the greatest displacement amplitude occurring at the unconstrained tip. endosonic files of varying design, length, and thickness exhibit differences in their oscillation. preliminary work has revealed that the endosonic file is susceptible to constraint when working within the root canal and a model system was designed to investigate this problem. the constraining ... | 2008 | 2607288 |
