| detection of neoplastic lymph nodes in hodgkin's disease and non-hodgkin lymphoma. comparison between tomography and lymphography. | during a period of 17 months, 98 consecutive patients with malignant lymphoma were examined for initial staging before therapy. both ct and lymphography were performed in 58 patients (19 patients with hodgkin's disease (hd) and 39 patients with non-hodgkin lymphoma (nhl], and these were included in the investigation. the results were discrepant in 26 cases where lymph node lesions were detected by only one of the two methods. in 10 patients, 5 with hd and 5 with nhl, the positive finding by one ... | 2010 | 3006438 |
| extraretroperitoneal abdominal malignant fibrous histiocytoma. | seven cases of extraretroperitoneal abdominal malignant fibrous histiocytoma (mfh) are reported. the anatomic distribution was as follows: liver (2 cases), spleen with gastric and pancreatic involvement (1 case), mesentery (1 case), right mesocolon (1 case), left mesocolon (1 case), and urachus (1 case). these bulky lesions were often extensively necrotic; calcifications were seen in 2 cases. all 7 cases were investigated by ultrasonography (us) and computed tomography (ct). barium studies were ... | 2010 | 2844619 |

| dynamic liver scanning in cirrhosis. | dynamic hepatic scintigraphy was performed in 49 patients with established cirrhosis, using intravenous 99tcm-pertechnetate and 99tcm-sulphur colloid in a prospective study of its predictive value. there was a close correlation between the hepatic perfusion index (reflecting the ratio of arterial to total hepatic blood flow) obtained with pertechnetate (hpi-p) and with sulphur colloid (hpi-c) (r = 0.775; p less than 0.0001), and both indices correlated with disease severity (hpi-p p less than 0. ... | 2010 | 2838775 |
| cellular mechanism of ischemic acute renal failure: role of ca2+ and calcium entry blockers. | this presentation briefly reviews the cellular mechanism of ischemic acute renal failure (arf) with particular emphasis on the role of ca2+ and calcium entry blockers (ceb). vascular consequences of an ischemic renal insult including vasoconstriction, diminished glomerular permeability, loss of autoregulation, and hypersensitivity to renal nerve stimulation may relate to increased cellular ca2+ concentration in the renal afferent arteriole and glomerular mesangial cells. evidence is also present ... | 2010 | 2846945 |
