| comprehensive sex therapy training: a new approach. | the authors have developed a two-year part-time sex therapy training program for physicians. the first year emphasizes instruction in human sexuality as it relations to dysfunctional states. a highly selected group continues to a year of clinical experience using dual-sex (trainee-supervisor) therapy teams; trainess treat an average of four dysfunctional couples. the authors suggest that the program can serve as a possible model for other centers. | 1975 | 1147072 |
| surface activity of hemoglobin s and other human hemoglobin variants. | the kinetics of surface pressure change (deltapi vs. t isotherms) were determined for several single point mutations of the human hemoglobin system. it was observed that hemoglobin s and hemoglobin charlem (both containing beta6 glu leads to val substitutions) have a specific behavior at the water-air interface: their extent of surface pressure change is larger than for hemoglobin a, hemoglobin c and hemoglobin korle bu (beta73 asp leads to asn). in addition, hemoglobin s seems to occupy a large ... | 1976 | 1260008 |
| genetic heterogeneity and familial carcinoma of the breast. | the particular patterns of familial aggregations of cancer in the several families reported from our clinical resource suggest that multiple genotypes explain their diversity of cancer susceptibility. this knowledge could be of value in improving cancer control. we postulate that each particular genotype functions in concert with differential carcinogenic interactions, including a possible oncogenic virus, contributing to carcinogenesis in the susceptible patient. this reasoning is consistent wi ... | 1976 | 1265609 |
| a process for translating and testing a quantitative measure for cross-cultural nursing research. | a study was done to translate an english language, original measure of human behavior into mandarin chinese. a process used to translate from one language to the other is explained. internal consistency of both versions of the measures is tested and equivalence across the two versions of the measure was supported. | 1992 | 1287156 |
| maternal adaptation during pregnancy among adult early, middle, and late childbearers: similarities and differences. | women 20-24 (n = 10), 25-29 (n = 13), and 30 and over (n = 18) were interviewed and their responses compared on six variables: maternal-fetal relationship, quality of the marital relationship, preparation for motherhood, attitude towards the pregnancy, maternal role conceptualization, and motivation for motherhood. later childbearing was significantly related to three variables: motivation for motherhood, maternal-fetal relationship, and maternal role conceptualization. women 25-29 years old wer ... | 1992 | 1287372 |
| the radiographic incidence of multiple roots and canals in human mandibular premolars. | the aim of this study was to investigate the incidence in mandibular premolars of multiple roots and root canals that could be demonstrated radiographically. the images of mandibular premolar teeth as seen on intraoral full-mouth radiographic surveys (547) taken with the paralleling technique were examined. in 99 patients (18.1%) there was at least one premolar tooth with either divided canals or roots. first premolars were involved in 15.7% of patients, and second premolars in 7%. | 1992 | 1291519 |
| otosyphilis: a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. | traditional treatment of otosyphilis with penicillin and corticosteroids has achieved hearing improvement; however, selecting which patients with a positive fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (fta-abs) test will benefit from treatment remains a problem. in order to study this problem, 18 patients with cochleovestibular dysfunction of unknown etiology and positive syphilis serology were treated with intravenous penicillin and corticosteroids. in addition, lumbar puncture and human immunod ... | 1992 | 1307698 |

| trends in survival for children reported with maternally transmitted acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in new york city, 1982 to 1989. | to better understand the natural history of severe pediatric human immunodeficiency virus infection, reported cases of perinatally acquired pediatric acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids) in new york city were examined for differences in survival and age at diagnosis before and after implementation of an expanded case definition in 1987. one hundred ninety-six children reported through august, 1987, and 333 children reported between september, 1987, and february, 1990, and diagnosed through ... | 1992 | 1549406 |
| human immunodeficiency virus seropositivity in critically ill neonates in the south bronx. | cord blood was anonymously screened to determine the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) seropositivity in neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (nicu) at the bronx lebanon hospital center, located in the south bronx. we speculated that factors leading to admission to the nicu such as low birth weight, prematurity and being small for gestational age would also be associated with an increased prevalence of hiv seropositivity. during the study period the prevalence of ... | 1992 | 1549407 |
| dna analysis of borrelia burgdorferi nch-1, the first northcentral u.s. human lyme disease isolate. | the dna of the first northcentral united states human lyme disease isolate, borrellia burgdorferi nch-1, was characterized and compared with the dnas of nine other b. burgdorferi isolates. strain nch-1 was isolated in august 1989 from a human skin biopsy specimen. dna was analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and restriction endonuclease analysis. contour-clamped homogeneous electric field pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of in situ-lysed cells was performed to compare the plasmid profile ... | 1992 | 1551988 |
| human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis b virus infections in a new york city alcoholic population. | alcoholics have previously been reported to have an increased susceptibility to hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection. since human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) is transmitted in a similar fashion, we studied 143 consecutive in- and outpatient alcoholics residing in new york city for hiv and hbv prevalence and associated risk factors. of these alcoholics, 19 (13%) individuals were hiv positive, 57 (40%) were hepatitis b seropositive. intravenous drug use and sexual contact with an iv drug user were t ... | 1992 | 1556861 |
| screening indices for cytomegalovirus retinitis in patients with human immunodeficiency virus. | cytomegalovirus retinitis, the major cause of blindness in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, can be arrested by early detection and treatment. we identified 9 screening indices for early cmv retinitis: t-4/t-8 ratio less than 0.11, t-4 count less than 30, t-8 count less than 500, leukocytes less than 4,200, platelets less than 240,000, hemoglobin less than 11.6, hematocrit less than 35, less than 6 for a diagnostic profile which incorporates these 7 indices, and less than 2 f ... | 1992 | 1310346 |
| follow-up evaluation of cervicovaginal human papillomavirus infection in adolescents. | we performed a second examination for human papillomavirus (hpv) dna on 51 sexually experienced 13- to 21-year-old (mean = 17.8 years) female patients seen at an urban teaching hospital. cervicovaginal lavages were performed 6 to 36 months apart (median = 13.3 months) to collect cells for hpv dna detection and typing by southern blot hybridization. at the first and second visits, 39.2% (20/51) and 25.5% (13/51) of patients, respectively, were infected with hpv. collectively, 56.9% (29/51) of pat ... | 1992 | 1322456 |
| survival in a cohort of human immunodeficiency virus-infected tuberculosis patients in new york city. implications for the expansion of the aids case definition. | the occurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis in human immunodeficiency virus (hiv)-infected persons is believed to represent a less severe stage of hiv-related disease with a more favorable prognosis than other acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids)-defining conditions; therefore, it has been excluded from the aids definition established by the centers for disease control (atlanta, ga) criteria. | 1992 | 1358042 |
| clinical manifestations and predictors of disease progression in drug users with human immunodeficiency virus infection. | to examine the clinical course of human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection in injection-drug users, we conducted a prospective study of a cohort of patients in a methadone-treatment program in new york city from july 1985 through december 1990. the patients underwent standardized evaluations at base line and semiannually thereafter and received on-site primary medical care. rates of progression to the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids) and major outcomes before the development of aids ... | 1992 | 1359411 |
