This paper briefly reviews the benefits of using age-progression techniques in hypnotherapy, followed by a detailed explanation and illustration of the "back-from-the-future" technique with two case examples, including their outcome. The patients…
Male retired breeder C57/Bl and CD-1 mice were treated with either MPTP or its vehicle. At 7-10 days post-treatment, catecholamine concentrations within the olfactory bulbs (OB) and hypothalamus were determined. Norepinephrine concentrations within…
In rats, restraint exposure potentiates the magnitude and duration of analgesia following both the peripheral and intracerebroventricular administration of several opioid agonists as compared to non-stressed controls. It has been suggested that the…
Factors associated with a single bout of dynamic exercise (increased circulating catecholamines, increased body temperature, and decreased pH) are known to attenuate the vascular response to alpha-adrenergic receptor activation. Therefore, we…
OBJECTIVE: To review the potential for anaphylactoid reactions to intravenously administered acetylcysteine when used in the treatment of acetaminophen overdose. This case is unique in that electrocardiographic changes, including ST segment…
The effect of several novel silatrane derivatives on the growth of syngeneic renal cell carcinoma (RENCA) in BALB/c mice and the survival rate of the animals were evaluated. The RENCA-bearing animals were treated subcutaneously and weekly with either…
Extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease are legion and are demonstrated in one-third of those afflicted. In general, they do not mandate surgery. Three patients with active pancolonic ulcerative colitis developed arterial…
Recent reports cite results that both cocaine-induced conditioned place preference and activity stimulation are attenuated by pretreatment with the calcium channel blocker isradipine (ISR) in rats. By blocking voltage-dependent
Crushing the nerve to the medial gastrocnemius (MG) muscle at birth and administering nerve growth factor to rats afterwards results in a reinnervated muscle with supernumerary muscle spindles, some of which must have formed de novo. Structure and…
Taurocholate, a relatively hydrophobic bile salt, is a potent down-regulator of HMG-CoA reductase and cholesterol 7-alpha-hydroxylase (C7-alpha-H), the rate-determining enzymes of the cholesterol and bile acid biosynthetic pathways, respectively.…
Seventh-generation selectively bred high-alcohol-drinking (HAD) and low-alcohol-drinking (LAD) rats were trained to make differential responses for ethanol (0.75 g/kg, IP) and saline vehicle, following postadministration intervals (PI) of 2 min…
The osseous appearance, skeletal distribution, and distinguishing features of calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD) were delineated in a population of 2906 contemporary defleshed skeletons. The limitations of routine x-ray and clinical…
Cocaine abuse may lead to serious cardiac complications, including myocardial ischemia and infarction, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy and arrhythmias. With concomitant use of alcohol and cocaine, cocaethylene is produced by hepatic transformation.…
Shared characteristics and concurrent occurrence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthropathy in contemporary populations have compromised development of clear diagnostic criteria for distinguishing them. Although modern populations contain…
We tested the possibility that neuropeptide Y (NPY) may contribute to the pulmonary hypertension that occurs after massive sympathetic activation produced by intracisternal veratrine administration in the chloralose-anesthetized dog. In six dogs,…
A cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase gene containing 8 kb of the 5'-flanking region and 5 kb of the transcription region which covers exons 1 to 5 was isolated from a rat genomic library. The 2015 bp nucleotide sequence 5'-upstream from the start codon…
Eight cases of superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula (SMAVF) occurring after an abdominal stab wound have been reported. Seven of these patients manifested symptoms within 1 month after the stab wound. We report the case of a 28-year-old man…
The genetically obese Zucker rat is a well characterized model of early onset human obesity. Many of the endocrine and metabolic abnormalities of obese animals are common to other strains of genetically obese animals as well as morbidly obese humans.…
A controlled randomized double-blind study was done to determine the frequency and severity of leg cramps in 40 patients on dialysis with a history of leg cramps. All patients entered a 2 month placebo washout and were randomized into a 2 month…
Rats selectively bred for high alcohol sleep times (HAS) and those that are less affected (LAS) by hypnotic doses (3.0-3.6 g/kg) of ethanol were tested for differential responses to the aversive effects of 1.0 g/kg ethanol in a conditioned place…
Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 DNA was found in three separate neoplastic lesions within a female patient. The physical state of the viral DNA in each lesion was determined by two-dimensional agarose gel electrophoresis. The primary cervical…
STUDY OBJECTIVES: To characterize the clinical presentation and identify factors predictive of bacteremia in elderly patients. DESIGN: Retrospective review of emergency department charts, hospital records, and microbiology reports. SETTING: Community…
In two separate studies that factor analyzed nine measures of career decidedness taken by college freshmen, a single factor empirically defined choice status.
Rats were trained to discriminate IP administration of 800 micrograms/kg cathinone using a food-motivated, two-lever discrimination procedure. Following training, 800 micrograms/kg cathinone discrimination was produced (generalized) by lower…
Younger and older subjects selected from non-psychiatric populations were administered two scales to determine frequency of dissociation. Younger subjects were found to dissociate more frequently than older subjects, suggesting that dissociative…
The central nervous system location of neurochemicals that are widely distributed among extant animals may give us clues to changes that occurred in the brains of these animals during evolution. We have been studying the brains of cartilaginous…
Glutamate and aspartate are the primary neurotransmitters of projections from motor and premotor cortices to the striatum. Release of glutamate may be modulated by dopamine receptors located on corticostriatal terminals. The present study used…
THE origin of our own genus, Homo, has been tentatively correlated with worldwide climatic cooling documented at about 2.4 Myr (million years) (refs 1-5). It has also been conjectured that members of Homo made the first stone tools, currently dated…
