| psychiatric morbidity in a sample of a london coroner's open verdicts. | one hundred and thirty-four deaths recorded as open verdicts in the inner west london coroner's district during 1969 and 1970 have been surveyed for evidence of mental illness. for 110 (82 per cent) of these deaths the probable verdicts were suicide or accident and they were reclassified as undetermined deaths. of these deaths 73 per cent were diagnosed as mentally ill, 54 per cent were receiving medical treatment for psychological symptoms before death, 42 per cent had a history of psychiatric ... | 2005 | 1182365 |

| 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 ... | 2006 | 1594801 |
| 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 ... | 2006 | 1570844 |

| questionable role of amniocentesis in the etiology of amniotic band formation. a case report. | a preterm infant had an amniotic band sequence. anomalies included left leg amputation and digital anomalies of the hands. the umbilical cord was short, and histologic sections of the placenta demonstrated partial avulsion of the amnion and fibrosis of the underlying chorion. ultrasound at 21 weeks was normal, there was no history of trauma during the pregnancy, and no amniocentesis had been performed. despite isolated case reports of amniotic band sequence associated with amniocentesis, we doub ... | 2011 | 3351810 |

| use of inotropic and chronotropic agents in neonates. | the determinants of cardiovascular function include preload, myocardial contractility, and afterload. myocardial contractility and afterload can be altered pharmacologically and form the basis for the clinical management of shock with inotropic and chronotropic drugs. there are extensive data from experiments in laboratory animals that the immature cardiovascular system may respond differently to these inotropic and chronotropic agents than the mature cardiovascular system. digitalis, isoprotere ... | 2011 | 3322631 |

| 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 ... | 2011 | 3177321 |
| 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. | 2011 | 3215266 |
| 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 ... | 2011 | 3119748 |
| 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. | 2011 | 3058494 |
