| the temporomandibular ligament and the articular eminence as constraints during jaw opening. | it is generally thought that during symmetrical jaw opening the mandible rotates about an axis passing through the centres of the two mandibular condyles, and translates down the articular eminence. the author argues that there are no data to support this assumption. the true combination of movements can only be understood by understanding the constraints that operate during jaw opening and these are the articular eminence and the temporomandibular (tm) ligament. the tm ligament is pulled taut d ... | 2009 | 2795311 |
| insulin and glucagon response of the diabetic chinese hamster in the asahikawa colony. | the relationship between pancreatic hormone content and pattern of hormone release has not been completely elucidated because of heterogeneity in diabetes. accordingly, this study was performed to establish the relationship, using spontaneously diabetic chinese hamsters in the asahikawa colony, a newly discovered experimental model resembling insulin-deficient diabetes in humans. as a result of investigations of insulin and glucagon responses to glucose or arginine in vivo and in vitro using iso ... | 2009 | 2873008 |
| [characteristics of the course of the gestation period in patients with solitary kidney]. | clinical biochemical, bacteriological investigations and functional tests were performed in 37 pregnant females with a solitary kidney. the status of fetoplacental system was studied as well. the investigators noted such common complications of pregnancy as the aggravation of renal inflammation, a high rate of caesarean section and postnatal morbidity. it was concluded that in case of pyelonephritic affection a solitary kidney the pregnancy should be terminated. if the infection was absent and t ... | 2009 | 2817278 |
| orbita fractures in polytraumas and craniocerebral traumas. | the authors emphasize that the maxillo-facial surgeon or otorhinolaryngologist should: 1. take part in diagnosing and planning the therapy of poly-traumatic patients. 2. operate simultaneously when possible. 3. try to provide immediate maxillo-facial surgical and/or otorhinolaryngologic treatment because of the great importance of early treatment for longterm functional and aesthetic results. | 2009 | 2747932 |
| telephone-mediated lightning injury: an australian survey. | each year in australia, about 60 people report injuries attributable to lightning surges while using a telephone during nearby thunderstorms. this paper presents information about such incidents and describes a retrospective survey of more than 300 telephone users reporting injuries possibly attributable to lightning. questionnaires yielded 132 usable responses, and the results were analysed to identify the extent and nature of the lightning injuries. these are compared with direct strike injuri ... | 2009 | 2724384 |
| orally absorbable d-forphenicinol-cephalosporins. | the synthesis and biological evaluation of d-forphenicinol-cephalosporins are described. 7-amino-3-(substituted)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid esters were coupled with n-tert-butoxy-carbonyl-d-forphenicinol derivatives. most of cephalosporin analogs in this series had good antibacterial activities and were well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract in mice. among them, 7-(mono-o-methyl-d-forphenicinol)-3-propenyl analog showed the most significant result in biological evaluations. | 2009 | 2737957 |

| [fibrinogen and pentoxifylline. results of a french cooperative exploratory study of stage ii arteritis]. | a collaborative exploratory study was undertaken by 139 private angiologists in 427 out-patients with pvd stage ii treated for 90 days with pentoxifylline 1 200 mg per day. in 306 patients (71,6%) the fibrinogen level was decreased by 0,21 g/l in mean (p less than 0.01). this significant decrease is correlated to the global improvement (p less than 0.01) and is within the magnitude of difference that is associated between vascular death and comparative groups in recent epidemiologic studies. in ... | 2009 | 2715734 |
