cultural factors in clinical pain assessment.experimental evidence suggests that the threshold at which a given stimulus is perceived as painful is relatively constant both for an individual and between individuals. however, higher thresholds at which pain described as severe or at which particular behavioural response occurs are much more variable and appear to depend on cultural factors. since one concern of a healing profession is to alleviate or minimize pain it would be helpful if some means of assessment of the intensity of pain expe ...1991270466

familial hyperalphalipoproteinemia.a 26-member kindred had the newly recognized heritable hyperlipoproteinemia, familial hyperalphalipoproteinemia. in affected family members, hyperalphalipoproteinemia was not secondary to any diseases, drugs, or industrial exposures known to elevate alpha-lipoprotein (high-density) cholesterol (c-hdl) levels. hyperalphalipoproteinemia was transmitted vertically through three generations. there were five matings of hyperalphalipoproteinemic to normal individuals, with 25 offspring. the ratio of o ...1997168823
combination of conservative surgery and irradiation for cancer of the breast.in patients with relatively advanced local or axillary disease, or both, a simple mastectomy followed by irradiation gives the best local and regional control rates. from the existing data, one can state unreservedly that women with early breast cancer take no chance on their life by having a treatment method which preserves the breast. in conjunction with the wedge excision, even if the axilla is clinically negative, a dissection of the low and central axilla brings enough information to decide ...1997175691
