analysis of the incubation period for measles in the epidemic in greenland in 1951 using a variance components model.this paper presents a model for analysing the incubation period of highly infectious diseases in populations where almost all susceptibles become infected during an epidemic. the model leads to a simple method for estimating the variance of the duration of the incubation period without any distributional assumptions. further, the influence of covariates on the duration of the incubation period can be analysed. data from the epidemic of measles in greenland in 1951 are analysed and it is found th ...20061594801
somatic reversion/suppression in duchenne muscular dystrophy (dmd): evidence supporting a frame-restoring mechanism in rare dystrophin-positive fibers.many duchenne muscular dystrophy (dmd) patients are known to have rare staining dystrophin-positive fibers, termed "revertants." the precise etiology of these rare fibers is unknown. the most likely explanation, however, is somatic mosaicism or somatic reversion/suppression. immunocytochemistry was performed on serial sections from deleted and nondeleted patients, with a panel of antibodies--9219, 1377, 9218, and dys-2--that span dystrophin. both familial and nonfamilial patients possessed rever ...20061570844

iron, transferrin, and haptoglobin levels after a single bout of exercise in men.twelve, healthy male university student volunteers, between the ages of 20 and 23, were studied. all subjects were considered normal after cardiopulmonary and electrocardiographic examination. the maximal aerobic capacity (vo2 max) of each subject was determined. the exercise programmes were performed on a mechanically braked monark cycle ergometer. the subjects were required to perform the three tests, one per week. each subject had a catheter inserted in an antecubital vein and blood samples w ...20061594669
the educational process at the mount sinai school of medicine: the first 25 years.although the charter for the school of medicine was signed in 1963, and active recruitment of faculty commenced almost immediately, the recruitment of students, in fact, did not begin until several years later, with admission of a first-year and a third-year class in september 1968. from that time to the present, the class size has increased from a small, carefully selected group of 36 first-year students to its current size of 115 students in each of the basic science years and 132 students in ...20062685587

[monitoring control of the visual evoked potentials during the surgical treatment of tumors of the chiasmal-sellar area].visual evoked potentials were recorded in different stages of the operation in 12 patients with tumors of the chiasmal-sellar region. a correlation was noted between the dynamics of the p100 latent period and the changes of visual functions after the operation. intraoperative monitoring of visual evoked potentials makes it possible to appraise the functional condition of the optic nerves objectively and correct the techniques and tactics of the operative intervention.20072168648
reduced incidence of bone metastases in irradiated areas after external radiation therapy of prostatic carcinoma.fourteen males, out of 380 patients, treated with radiation to the central pelvis and lumbar spine for poorly differentiated prostatic carcinoma were analyzed in retrospect. the dose of radiation to the bones of the target area was 5,000 cgy. the patients showed no signs of metastases at bone scintigraphy performed in connection with the treatment. in an average of 34 months after finishing radiotherapy, the patients developed metastases at bone scintigraphy. the pattern was similar in all patie ...20072045303
validation of biologic markers for use in research on chronic fatigue syndrome.unresolved aspects of chronic fatigue syndrome can be addressed by research involving biologic markers. these may be any molecular, biochemical, physiological, or other biologic parameter obtainable from biologic specimens. the use of biologic markers in research requires their validation as dependent or independent variables. additionally, other characteristics of markers such as reliability of assays, background level, confounding factors, interpretations, and legal and ethical implications sh ...20072020808
endogenous n-nitrosation and cancer of the biliary tract.evidence is presented that n-nitroso compounds occur in bile from patients who have undergone surgery for gallstones or had gastrectomy and from unoperated persons. it is unlikely, therefore, that local formation of nitrosamines can account for the excess risk for gallbladder cancer in the first two groups. gastric formation remains the likeliest hypothesis.20071855836

antineutrophil cytoplasm antibodies in kawasaki disease.autoantibodies against components of neutrophil cytoplasm develop during adult vasculitic diseases such as wegener's granulomatosis and microscopic polyarteritis, and they are predominantly of the igg class. similar but distinct antibodies have been described in children with kawasaki disease and both igm and igg class antibodies are represented. this adds another clinically distinct childhood form of vasculitis to the adult forms in which autoantibodies to neutrophil cytoplasmic antigens have b ...20082650637
phytochrome from the green alga mesotaenium caldariorum. purification and preliminary characterization.a method to purify the phytochrome photoreceptor from the unicellular green alga mesotaenium caldariorum is presented. preparative scale formation of algal protoplasts and controlled osmotic cell lysis have permitted separation of intact organelles from the phytochrome-enriched soluble protein fraction. we have utilized the observation that red light-absorbing (pr) and far-red light-absorbing (pfr) forms of phytochrome are differentially retained on an anion exchange matrix to purify m. caldario ...20082324111
grading white matter lesions on ct and mri: a simple scale.we developed and tested a simple three-point scale for grading white matter lesions in anterior and posterior regions of the brain. twenty four ct scans and 24 mri scans were separately judged by 11 and five observers, respectively, on the presence and severity of white matter lesions. the observers were radiologists and neurologists. for ct scans, these periventricular changes were graded according to their extent as absent, or partly involving the white matter, or extending up to the subcortic ...20082292703
[myopathy in the uremic patient: apropos of a case].uremic myopathy is relatively unknown, despite the fact that it can be quite a severe handicap. it is a non-specific proximal myopathy which must be distinguished from uremic polyneuropathy. several disorders linked to renal insufficiency have been implicated, but these only play an adjuvant role with regard to renal osteodystrophy. indeed the presence of myopathy in cases of severe osteodystrophy, its similarity to the myopathies associated with different types of osteomalacia and hyperparathyr ...20082633067
screening adolescents for depression and parent-teenager conflict in an ambulatory medical setting: a preliminary investigation.because more than 60% of adolescent visits to physicians last less than 10 minutes, simple screening devices to identify persons at risk for social morbidity are needed. the result of a pilot screening instrument for depression and parent-teenager conflict is described. a seven-item questionnaire (three items for depression and four items for parent-teenager conflict), the beck depression inventory (bdi), and the conflict behavior questionnaire (cbq), were administered to 226 adolescents at a hi ...20082330245

evidence for subgroups of adextrals based on speech lateralization and cognitive patterns.some non-right-handers may prefer the left hand by virtue of well-organized or high levels of spatial ability, vested primarily in the right hemisphere, rather than as a result of anomalous speech representation. this study tested the hypothesis that adextral (left-handed or ambidextrous) individuals with high spatial ability might have cerebral speech lateralization patterns similar to dextrals. paper-and-pencil tests of various cognitive abilities, a verbal dichotic listening task, and a hande ...20092771036
enzyme linked immunosorbent assay for measuring antithrombin iii.a competitive elisa for the measurement of antithrombin iii antigen was developed using a pure preparation of antithrombin. this two step immunoassay requires only one antibody binding step and avoids the binding of anti-antithrombin antibody to the solid phase. plasma samples measured by this elisa correlated well with measurements taken with immune electrophoresis measurements (r = 0.933); the elisa was also shown to be both sensitive and precise.20092794088
bone gla protein (bgp) levels and bone turnover in rheumatoid arthritis.bone gla protein (bgp) and other biochemical indices of bone turnover were measured in 42 female patients with rheumatoid arthritis (ra) and in a group of normal subjects matched for sex and age. mean serum bgp concentrations were significantly higher in patients with active arthritis than in patients with mild activity (p less than 0.01) and controls (p less than 0.01). no significant difference was found in serum bgp levels and in other parameters of bone turnover when the patients were strati ...20092786438

minaprine: an anticholinergic-free antidepressant? results of a controlled trial of mianserin.minaprine is an amino-phenylpyridazine antidepressant reported to be relatively free of anticholinergic effects, cardiotoxicity, drowsiness, and weight gain. minaprine (100 mg t.d.s. and 100 mg b.d.) was compared with mianserin (20 mg t.d.s.) in 117 depressed patients, and all three regimes produced significant reductions in scores on the hrsd at the end of six weeks' treatment. there were no anticholinergic effects, but there was a significantly greater incidence of drowsiness with mianserin th ...20092690999
layer thickness in rotational panoramic radiography: some specific aspects.it is customary to define the thickness of the image layer in rotational panoramic radiography along the central ray of the x-ray beam. this results in calculated values which overestimate its thickness, especially in regions where the central ray deviates markedly from orthogonality. a supplementary definition is proposed which considers layer thickness in a direction perpendicular to the central plane of the image layer. this provides values which may be more easily related to the thickness of ...20092637877

polymicrobial bacteremia in children. an 11-year experience.the clinical records of all patients with blood cultures positive for a bacterial pathogen were retrospectively examined during an 11-year period to determine the rate of and clinical features associated with polymicrobial bacteremia. during this period, bacteria were isolated in 6302 blood cultures. of these cultures, 38 instances (0.6%) of polymicrobial bacteremia occurred in 38 patients. in 37 patients (97%), an underlying condition was identified that was considered a predisposing factor for ...20113177321
renal cell carcinoma presenting with gross hematuria from a solitary bladder metastasis.renal cell carcinoma commonly presents with gross hematuria. we report the first case in which the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma was made following biopsy of an actively bleeding solitary bladder metastasis of a clear cell carcinoma of the kidney. the possible routes of metastasis of this uncommon lesion are discussed and a review of the literature is presented.20113215266
assessment of contractility changes in humans by transoesophageal echocardiography: the peak-systolic pressure end-systolic diameter relationship (pspesdrs).the peak-systolic pressure end-systolic diameter relationship (pspesdrs) was determined in ten healthy subjects under general anaesthesia by using the radial artery pressure tracing (peak-systolic pressure) and transoesophageal 2d-and m-mode echocardiography (left ventricular diameters) without blocking of autonomic reflexes. left ventricular load was changed by injection of a single intravenous dose of 0.2 mg nitroglycerin (ntg). linear regression analysis showed a close linear relationship dur ...20113119748
biomarkers of aging: immunological events.certain immune functions decline in a gradual way over the life span. to the extent that these changes are well characterized and are phylogenetically observed, they may be considered excellent biomarkers of aging. many of these age-related changes, however, are significantly influenced by age-associated phenomena such as certain diseases or psychosocial factors. immunologic factors, therefore, should be considered as markers of physiologic aging only under very careful experimental conditions.20113058494
