| the temporomandibular ligament and the articular eminence as constraints during jaw opening. | it is generally thought that during symmetrical jaw opening the mandible rotates about an axis passing through the centres of the two mandibular condyles, and translates down the articular eminence. the author argues that there are no data to support this assumption. the true combination of movements can only be understood by understanding the constraints that operate during jaw opening and these are the articular eminence and the temporomandibular (tm) ligament. the tm ligament is pulled taut d ... | 2009 | 2795311 |
| diffraction by a circular aperture as a model for three-dimensional optical microscopy. | existing formulations of the three-dimensional (3-d) diffraction pattern of spherical waves that is produced by a circular aperture are reviewed in the context of 3-d serial-sectioning microscopy. a new formulation for off-axis focal points is introduced that has the desirable properties of increased accuracy for larger field angles, invariance to shifts of the focal point about spheres of constant radius when the detection point is on the sphere for both intensity and amplitude fields, and inva ... | 2009 | 2795290 |
| diagnostic utility of echocardiography in ethiopia. | consecutive requests of 1557 echocardiographic studies performed between january 1984 and june 1988 were analysed in order to identify common cardiac abnormalities encountered, the pattern of referral and most important the usefulness of the procedure at our hospital. organic heart disease was found in 1240 patients, of whom 541 (43.6%) had acquired valvular heart disease; 338 (27.4%) congenital heart abnormalities; 154 (12.4%) cardiomyopathies; 139 (11.2%) pericardial disease and 68 (5.4%) othe ... | 2009 | 2753030 |
| mass treatment approach to acute diarrhoeal disease in afabet hospital, northern ethiopia. | during an outbreak of acute diarrhoeal disease in a military camp in afabet region from august to october 1985, 416 cases were admitted to afabet hospital. all were national military service recruitee males who developed signs of moderate to severe dehydration. simplified methods of diagnosing and treating the disease were used so that mass rehydration therapy could be instituted early, using locally available manpower and material resources. the severity of dehydration was graded, and rehydrati ... | 2009 | 2753031 |

| orbita fractures in polytraumas and craniocerebral traumas. | the authors emphasize that the maxillo-facial surgeon or otorhinolaryngologist should: 1. take part in diagnosing and planning the therapy of poly-traumatic patients. 2. operate simultaneously when possible. 3. try to provide immediate maxillo-facial surgical and/or otorhinolaryngologic treatment because of the great importance of early treatment for longterm functional and aesthetic results. | 2009 | 2747932 |
| mechanics of a single-ossicle ear: i. the extra-stapedius of the pigeon. | the motion of the conical peak of the tympanic membrane (tm) at the tip of the extra-stapedius (es) and of the columella footplate (cfp) were measured in the pigeon using the mössbauer technique. the dimensions of middle-ear structures were measured in some of the experimental animals. the averaged velocity response at the es for frequencies of 0.25-2.378 khz was that of a second order, mass and stiffness controlled, resonant system with resonant frequency of 1.2 khz and q3 db of 1.2. the mean v ... | 2009 | 2737958 |

| cross-gender behavior and psychopathology in boy psychiatric outpatients. | one hundred 5- to 12-year-old boys referred for outpatient psychiatric evaluation were assessed for cross-gender behavior using the child behavior and attitude questionnaire (cbaq) and the child game participation questionnaire (cgpq), and for possible associated psychopathology using the child behavior checklist (cbcl) and clinical psychiatric (dsm-iii) diagnoses. on the two feminine scales of the cbaq and cgpq, 30 to 50% scored within defined clinical ranges. high feminine scale scorers did no ... | 2009 | 2738005 |
| myocardial infarction caused by blunt chest injury: possible mechanisms involved--case reports. | two cases are reported in which blunt chest trauma caused myocardial infarction. coronary angiography revealed apical aneurysms in both patients with normal coronary arteries in the first and total occlusion of left anterior descending artery in the other. the main possible mechanisms of myocardial infarction after blunt chest trauma are discussed. | 2009 | 2705639 |
| pattern of malformations in the children of women treated with carbamazepine during pregnancy. | in an attempt to determine whether and to what extent carbamazepine is teratogenic, we evaluated eight children whom we identified retrospectively as having had prenatal exposure to carbamazepine alone or in combination with a variety of anticonvulsants other than phenytoin. in addition, in a prospective study, we documented the outcome of the pregnancies of 72 women who contacted us early in pregnancy because they were concerned about the potential teratogenicity of carbamazepine. a pattern of ... | 2009 | 2725616 |
| [diagnosis and treatment of liver injuries and their sequelae]. | the authors studied 222 cases of closed and open injuries to the liver and, in addition, had 5 patients who were treated for sequelae of injury (hemobilia, abscesses, biliary fistula of the liver). the diagnosis of open injuries to the liver is established without great difficulties; laparocentesis and laparoscopy are indicated in closed injury. the volume of the operation is determined by the character of the damage: closure of the hepatic wound proves sufficient in most patients; surgical debr ... | 2009 | 2704167 |
