total exenteration, two or one ostomy.total exenterations require fecal and urinary diversions, necessitating ostomies in the anterior abdominal wall. this article was done to explore the possibility of extremely low anastomoses of the intestine to the anal stump, to reduce the number of ostomies to only one for the urinary diversion. although technically feasible, the long term follow-up evaluation of these patients resulted in us having reservations concerning function.20061636136
glucagon and clonidine testing in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma.we assessed the sensitivity and specificity of glucagon stimulation and clonidine suppression tests in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma in 113 hypertensive patients, 39 with and 74 without the tumor. in the glucagon stimulation test, blood was sampled 2 minutes after intravenous injection of 0.28 mumol (1 mg) glucagon, and in the clonidine suppression test, blood was sampled 3 hours after administration of oral clonidine, 1.30 mumol (0.3 mg)/70 kg body wt. baseline levels of catechols in antecu ...20072045133

oncogenesis and other late effects of cancer treatment in children.review of hospital charts of 168 patients surviving two or more years following the diagnosis of cancer and subsequent-examinations of 40 of these patients yielded these observations: (a) hospital charts were adequate to ascertain the number of second primary neoplasms. three malignant and eight benign tumors were found, an incidence of 6.5%. (b) the three patients with second malignant neoplasms did not receive chemotherapy and two of three were treated with radiation. (c) abnormalities other t ...1996174150

ct metrizamide myelography for intraspinal and paraspinal neoplasms in infants and children.computed tomography (ct) metrizamide myelography is an accurate and satisfactory method for examining the spinal cord in infants and children with suspected intraspinal neoplasms. it was performed in 13 infants and children and in one adult with intra- and paraspinal neoplasms. ct metrizamide myelography in paraspinal masses provides the total geography of the mass; that is, possible intraspinal extension, as well as the paraspinal portion itself. as such, it is superior to conventional myelogra ...1998106638

catheter cervical vertebral venography.cervical vertebral venography using catheterzation via the femoral vein was carried out in 78 cases. in disc disease the internal vertebral venous plexus (ivvp) are interrupted at single or multiple levels, and sometimes completely blocked. in ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament, the ivvp are separated bilaterally and interrupted at multiple levels due to centrally situated ossification and associated osteophytes. venography helps to determine the upper and lower limits of laminectom ...1998106325

chido, rodgers and c4. in vivo and in vitro coating of red blood cells, grouping and antibody detection.c4 sucrose/low ionic strength (lis)-coated red blood cells (rbc) are excellent for the detection of the previously 'nebulous' antibodies, anti-chido and anti-rodgers, as well as for serum/plasma typing of these antigens by an inhibition technique. by enzyme treatment of such cells, it is confirmed that the ch and rg antigens reside on the c4d part of the c4 molecule. freshly taken rbc from normal individuals were examined with a sensitive auto-analyzer technique with anti-chido, anti-c4 and anti ...199991269

oral methionine loading as a cause of acute serum folate deficiency: its relevance to parenteral nutrition.oral methionine supplements (8.0 g daily for 4 days) were given to five normal volunteers who continued to eat their usual diet. this treatment resulted in a significant fall in serum folate concentration. three days after the end of treatment concentrations had not completely returned to control values. the fall in concentration was prevented by giving oral folic acid supplements. it is suggested that folic acid supplements should be given to patients who are receiving intravenous infusions of ...200097644
[treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolality with low dose insulin infusion (author's transl)].fifteen patients were treated with low-dose (5 u/hour) insulin infusion, including 10 cases of ketoacidosis, 3 cases of hyperglycemia without acidosis in severely affected diabetics, and 2 cases with hyperosmolality. the treatment was successful in all cases. insulin was infused at a constant rate, during 12 hours as a mean value. blood glucose fell regularly and no hypoglycemia occured. serum potassium varied within narrow limits, and no accident related to hypokalemia was observed. the correct ...200097626

possible role of plasminogen activator inhibitor 2 in the prevention of the metastasis of gastric cancer tissues.the concentrations of urinary type plasminogen activator (u-pa), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (pai-1), and pai-2 were measured in gastric cancer tissues and adjacent healthy mucosal tissues. levels of u-pa, pai-1 and pai-2 were higher in cancer than in control tissues. pai-1 levels were higher together with the progression of cancer however there were no differences in u-pa or pai-2 levels. tumors with higher pai-1 and lower pai-2 levels tend to metastasize to remote lymph nodes. when the n ...20061636163

haemorheology and exercise: intrinsic flow properties of blood in marathon running.haemorheological and haematological parameters were studied in venous blood samples taken from 8 endurance-trained athletes before and after a marathon run. viscometry was performed in a 20 microns glass capillary and in a couette viscometer. apparent blood viscosity was lower in the capillary than in the rotational viscometer, but significant differences between pre- and post-run samples were not observed in either system. this is presumably due to the absence of changes of haematocrit (pre-run ...20061459744
