| relation between meteorological factors and pain in rheumatoid arthritis in a marine climate. | reports indicate that weather conditions may affect some symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (ra) but not the disease itself. eighty-eight patients living in the marine climate of the dutch coastal provinces scored their pain symptoms daily during a full year. correlation analyses of monthly patient averaged pain scores against each of 6 weather factors indicated that ra pain associates positively and quite significantly (p less than 0.01) with temperature and with vapour pressure, negatively and s ... | 2014 | 4057193 |
| extravasation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes from the cerebral microvasculature. inflammatory response induced by alpha-bungarotoxin. | postcapillary venules represent the segment of the microvasculature most vulnerable to inflammatory processes. while there is a considerable body of data on the peripheral vasculature, little is known about the primary events occurring during inflammatory reactions in cerebral blood vessels. we introduce here a model by which the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes through the cns endothelial barrier can be studied. alpha-bungarotoxin is used as a chemotactic agent and is shown, for the fi ... | 1985 | 4053172 |
| [the roller discotheque--a quickstep to the hospital? an analysis of 196 accidents]. | a retrospective study comprising a period of 16 months was made in order to analyse the injuries of 196 patients occurred when visiting a roller discothèque. injuries of the upper extremities had the highest incidence (56.6%); the most frequent of these lesions was the distal fracture of the radius (23.4%, n = 46). rather slight injuries are predominant indeed, however, even severe injuries are observed, e.g. supracondylar fractures of the humerus, fractures of the ankle joint, or vertebral frac ... | 2014 | 4049572 |

| preferential uptake of intravenously administered hyaluronidase (hyalosidase) by damaged rat myocardium. | the induction of myocardial infarction in rats by ligation of the left-anterior coronary artery was confirmed by measurement of increased plasma levels of creatine kinase, aspartate aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase. using this model system it has been established that intravenous administration of 125i-labelled hyaluronidase to rats resulted in a preferential uptake of the enzyme by damaged myocardium as compared to normal heart tissue. | 1985 | 4027352 |
| nasogastric intubation as sole treatment of caustic esophageal lesions. | in this partly retrospective and partly prospective study, we examined 200 patients with suspected caustic ingestion. no steroids were administered to the patients involved. lesions in the esophagus were found in 93 patients. thirty-two patients with deep circular burns had nasogastric tubes inserted immediately. of these patients, two developed esophageal strictures, but subsequent dilatation was successful. no stricture formation was observed in the group of patients with noncircular lesions. ... | 2014 | 4026118 |
| trends in cancer mortality in italy, 1955-1978. | trends in age-specific and age-standardized cancer death certification rates in italy from 1955 to 1978 were analyzed. in males total cancer mortality rates increased in all age groups. however, when respiratory and other tobacco-related neoplasms were excluded, death certification rates were roughly stable up to age 64. moderate decreases in overall cancer mortality have been apparent at younger ages (35-44) since the early 1970's. in females, all the age-specific and the age standardized, unde ... | 1985 | 4024279 |
| factors affecting survival after ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. | to identify the factors affecting the high mortality rates associated with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa), a review was made of the records of 81 patients treated surgically between 1972 and 1983. correlation of data with survival and predictive value of preoperative findings were studied. the mortality rate was 43.2%; there was a 29.2% mortality rate among those surviving the day of surgery. patient-determined variables associated with deaths included age more than 76 years, hematocri ... | 2014 | 4009838 |
| excretion of radioactivity in faeces and urine of rats injected with 3h,14c-lipopolysaccharide. | the route of excretion of lipopolysaccharide (lps) and its possible degradation in vivo was studied in rats using biosynthetically radiolabelled lps from salmonella abortus equi, carrying 3h activity exclusively in fatty acids and 14c activity in fatty acids and sugars. following intravenous injection of the above lps in as2 rats with or without anaesthesia, excretion of radioactivity occurred mainly in the faeces and to smaller extent in urine. the rate of excretion was slow, a large part of th ... | 1985 | 4005148 |

| injections of atropine into the caudate nucleus impair the acquisition and the maintenance of passive avoidance. | two experiments were performed to test the hypotheses that cholinergic activity of the caudate nucleus (cn) is involved in the acquisition and in the maintenance of passive avoidance behavior. rats were trained, in one trial, to avoid one of two compartments of a conditioning box and retention of the task was measured 24 hours later. several doses of atropine were injected into the cn of independent groups of animals. in experiment 1 the atropine was injected 2 minutes after training and in expe ... | 1985 | 3983217 |
| hypercalcemia in the neuroleptic malignant syndrome. | the neuroleptic malignant syndrome (nms) developed in a 32-year-old man following fluphenazine enanthate administration. hypercalcemia was initially present, perhaps reflecting release of calcium from skeletal muscle stores. the elevated serum calcium levels support the existence of a peripheral muscle abnormality in the pathogenesis of the nms and provides another point of similarity between nms and malignant hyperthermia. | 1985 | 3970627 |
| short-term admission for behavior modification. | twenty-four children with behavioral problems were hospitalized for four days for intensive enhancement of their parents' parenting skills and a behavior modification program. this method was employed as an alternative approach to an ongoing problem. a questionnaire was designed to gauge parent satisfaction with the results. seventeen children were rated as having improved behavior from four to 36 months after discharge. a standard behavioral checklist was employed before hospitalization (nine p ... | 2014 | 3946353 |
| enhanced responsiveness of the coronary blood vessel of the dog heart-lung preparation to pgi2 after chronic chemical sympathectomy. | chronic chemical denervation of the sympathetic nervous system with 6-oh dopamine resulted in an augmentation of the coronary blood flow (cbf) increase inherent in the canine heart-lung preparation, but not in an augmented accumulation of 6-keto pgf1 alpha in the circulating blood. in denervated hlp, 6-keto pgf1 alpha was lower and the vasodilator response to pgi2 larger at the start of the experiments. it was concluded that exaggerated increase in cbf was due to a potentiation of the vasodilato ... | 1985 | 3932732 |
| stoichiometry and kinetics of the interaction of prostaglandin h synthase with anti-inflammatory agents. | we have examined the kinetics, stoichiometry, and chemical nature of the interaction of three anti-inflammatory agents (indomethacin, flurbiprofen, and meclofenamic acid) with pure ovine prostaglandin h synthase. the kinetics of the interaction with the synthase for each of the three agents, monitored by the decrease in cyclooxygenase activity, was consistent with the model proposed by rome and lands (rome, l.h., and lands, w.e.m. (1975) proc. natl. acad. sci. u.s.a. 72, 4863-4865): a rapid and ... | 1985 | 3930499 |
| the relationship of fetal plasma protein concentration and hemoglobin level to the development of hydrops in rhesus isoimmunization. | fetoscopic samples of pure fetal blood were obtained at 18 to 25 weeks' gestation from seven hydropic and 10 nonhydropic fetuses affected by rhesus isoimmunization, and the fetal plasma albumin, plasma total protein, and hemoglobin concentrations were determined. all fetuses with sonographic evidence of hydrops had a hemoglobin of 3.8 gm/dl or less, whereas all but one of those without hydrops had a hemoglobin greater than 4.0 gm/dl. the plasma total protein was less than 2 standard deviations b ... | 2014 | 3923839 |
| protein antigens of encapsulated klebsiella pneumoniae surface exposed after growth in the presence of subinhibitory concentrations of cephalosporins. | it recently has been reported by us that cephalosporins, at a concentration below that influencing growth rate, reduced the production of enterochelin and capsule formation of iron-depleted klebsiella pneumoniae. we now report on the antigenicity of the outer membrane components and surface-exposed protein antigens of iron-depleted cells grown in the presence or absence of cephalosporins. all major outer membrane proteins, including iron-regulated membrane proteins, were immunogenic. encapsulate ... | 1985 | 3914857 |
| management of perioral burn scarring in the child and adolescent. | the experience gained in the treatment of 116 patients with perioral burn scarring is presented. important considerations are the choice of unit release or simple release, the choice of donor site to match the prevailing skin of the remainder of the face, and the timing of the reconstruction. delaying the reconstructive procedure with the routine use of pressure appliances until the scar was mature produced a more pleasing final result. in addition, we found that modifying the traditional aesthe ... | 2014 | 3909897 |

| ethanol-induced inhibition of testosterone biosynthesis in vitro: lack of acetaldehyde effect. | acute ethanol intake has been shown to decrease plasma testosterone levels in rodents and man. this is mainly due to inhibition of testosterone synthesis, but there is still some controversy about the mechanisms responsible for the inhibition. these mechanisms were studied in the present experiments with isolated rat leydig cells. leydig cells were incubated for two hours in sealed plastic vials with various concentrations of ethanol (0.3-40 mm) or acetaldehyde (5-40 microm). very low ethanol co ... | 1987 | 3593480 |
| the illusion of catch-up growth in premature infants. use of the growth index and age correction. | growth data of 61 premature infants who were observed for 29 months were analyzed to determine if there is validity to the concept of catch-up growth. weight, length, and head circumference were recorded at each visit. for each measurement, a growth index was calculated to facilitate comparison of infants of different ages and sexes. the age of a child at each visit was also corrected for prematurity by subtracting the number of weeks premature from the postnatal chronological age to generate a ... | 2012 | 3578164 |
| fine structure of the organic matrix of human pancreatic stones. | pancreatic stones that were removed from the pancreatic ducts of patients with chronic calcifying pancreatitis were decalcified so the organic matrix could be studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. the observations made by scanning electron microscopy were compared with those made on undecalcified stones, and the findings were correlated with light microscopic observations. after the calcium carbonate was removed, the stones consisted of multiple partitions arranged like a spo ... | 1986 | 3575306 |

| age-related changes in postprandial plasma glucose, insulin, and free fatty acid concentrations in nondiabetic individuals. | plasma glucose, insulin, and free fatty acid (ffa) concentrations were measured from 0800 to 1600 hours in 40 nondiabetic individuals, separated into younger (38 +/- 1.4 years) and older (64 +/- 1.5 years) age groups. meals were served at 0800 (20% total daily calories) and 1200 h (40% of total daily calories), and blood drawn just before the 0800 hours meal and at hourly intervals thereafter until 1600 hours. statistical evaluation of the results of these measurements indicated that day-long pl ... | 2012 | 3546468 |
| incidence of fetal alcohol syndrome and economic impact of fas-related anomalies. | the world-wide incidence of the fetal alcohol syndrome (fas) is 1.9 per 1000 live births. incidence rates vary considerably, however, depending on study site. mental retardation is a cardinal feature of fas and is now recognized as the leading known cause of mental retardation in the western world. conservatively estimated for the united states, the economic cost associated with fas-related growth retardation, surgical repair of organic anomalies (e.g. cleft palate, tetralogy of fallot), treatme ... | 2012 | 3545731 |
| interferon in renal cell carcinoma. the ucla experience. | three sequential studies of alpha interferon were performed in a total of 84 evaluable patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. in study i, conducted from 1981 to 1982, 43 patients received human leukocyte alpha interferon (ifn alpha) 3 x 10(6) u/day, 5 days per week for 12 weeks. in study ii, performed in 1983, vinblastine (0.1 mg/kg/week) was added to the same ifn alpha regimen in 22 subjects. study iii, held from 1984 to 1985, evaluated the effects of escalating doses of interferon alfa ... | 1987 | 3542184 |
| insulin stimulates cord blood erythroid progenitor growth: evidence for an aetiological role in neonatal polycythaemia. | polycythaemia in the neonate is a serious pathologic entity which occurs particularly in infants of diabetic mothers (idm) and small-for-gestational age (sga) infants. both of these conditions are associated with fetal hyperinsulinaemia. cultures of cord blood mononuclear cells from polycythaemic idm showed increased growth of late erythroid progenitor colonies, compared to cord blood mononuclear cells from non-polycythaemic infants, reflecting a possible expansion of this progenitor population ... | 1986 | 3539174 |
| physiology and pathophysiology of the colonic circulation. | there is growing evidence that colonic blood flow is controlled by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. the existence of intrinsic vascular control mechanisms is evidenced by pressure-flow (and oxygen uptake) autoregulation, reactive hyperemia, vascular responses to acute venous hypertension, and a functional hyperemia. although myogenic factors have long been considered to be solely responsible for the intrinsic ability of the colon to regulate its blood flow, recent developments indicate that ... | 1986 | 3536216 |
