Study Objectives. To develop a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model using quantitative electroencephalographic (EEG) analysis to compare two separate benzodiazepine antagonists and generate data concerning response variability. Design. A pilot study…
The effect of incorporation of 1-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PLPC) on the bilayer structures occurring in aqueous dispersions of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DPPE) has been studied by phosphorus 31 nuclear magnetic…
In this report the olfactory bulbs (OB) were removed from 5-6 month, 15-16 month and 25-26 month male Fischer 344 rats and assayed for concentrations of monoamines and their metabolites using HPLC-EC. Concentrations of norepinephrine were…
Monoamine-activated alpha-2-macroglobulin (alpha 2M) has been shown to decrease the dopamine concentrations in rat caudate putamen (CP) in vivo as well as inhibit choline acetyltransferase activities in the culture of basal forebrain neurons. In this…
This document by the SAEM Public Health and Education Committee outlines the public health impact of interpersonal violence as it pertains to acute emergency care. This paper provides an overview of violence through the life cycle (i.e., child abuse,…
Intraocular eyelashes are an infrequent complication of trauma to the eye. Intraocular cilia have a variable prognosis ranging from acute inflammation to remaining dormant within the vitreous for several years. However, intraocular cilia in the…
Four groups were studied to determine the cooling effect at skin level of ice application over common ankle bandages and casts. The plaster cast, synthetic cast, and Ace(R) wrap dressing groups had 18 participants and the Robert-Jones dressing group…
We reviewed cases of Providencia stuartii bacteremia at a large community teaching hospital during a 12-year period (1981 to 1992). None of the infections were hospital-acquired. Of the 49 patients, 47 (96%) came from a nursing home, and 45 (92%) had…
Most persons with acute back problems recover promptly. Comprehensive evaluation of those who have not significantly improved within two weeks will often reveal significant behavioral factors that may be impeding recovery. These factors may include…

We retrospectively evaluated the charts of 112 patients with diabetic foot infection to determine if early aggressive surgical intervention improves outcome. All patients were classified into two groups on the basis of the timing of surgical…
A prospective, longitudinal design empirically tested the hypotheses that career development indices account for significant amounts of variance in the prediction of medical school success and account for unique variance beyond that of academic…
Purified cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylases (C7 alpha H) from human and rat liver microsomes, and from transformed Escherichia coli expression systems, were incubated with 0.3 mmol/L [gamma-P-32] adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the presence and absence…
Sensitization and cross-sensitization to the seizurogenic effects of cocaine and cocaethylene were examined in the HS strain of mice. Animals were administered IP injections of either 48 mg/kg cocaine or 32 mg/kg cocaethylene once per day for 4 days.…
Thorough ocular history taking and physical examination are essential to establish a diagnosis in patients presenting with eye conditions. Some conditions require ophthalmologic referral to avoid serious complications and even vision loss. These…

The positive chronotropic and inotropic effects of vasoactive intestinal peptide, VIP, were studied in an isolated canine right atrial preparation, Atria were removed, maintained in a bath, and perfused with Tyrode's solution. Contractile force and…
Employment opportunities in the future will require higher skills and an understanding of mathematics and science. As a result of the growing number of careers that require solid science and mathematics training, the methods of science education are…
