As the arboreal ape, Pongo, has an unusual ground ambulation adaptation, it was of interest to assess the impact of Pongo gait on patterns of arthritis. While osteoarthritis was not identified in Pongo, 11% of individual skeletons were afflicted with…

BACKGROUND: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a cutaneous malignancy that is uncommon anywhere on the body but is especially uncommon on the vulva. This cancer rarely metastasizes but has a high incidence of local recurrence because of its…

We wanted to develop educational materials appropriate for the high school student which would present physiological concepts in an innovative way. The impetus was in response to the lack of physiology educational materials appropriate for the high…

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…

The influence of daily spontaneous running (DSR) and gender on the arterial baroreflex regulation of heart rate (HR) and lumbar sympathetic nerve activity (LSNA) was examined in 13 male [7 sedentary (SED) and 6 DSR] and 12 female (6 SED and 6 DSR)…

OBJECTIVES: To assess risk factors associated with Clostridium difficile diarrhea in hospitalized adult patients, and to test the hypothesis that sucralfate ingestion is associated with nondetection of C difficile cytotoxin in stool specimens.…

More than 70 medications have been implicated as a cause of drug-induced lupus. The condition most commonly manifests with arthralgias and fever. The most important laboratory feature is an elevated antinuclear antibody titer, which often corresponds…

OBJECTIVE: To study a standardized technique for endometrial rollerball ablation and various methods of preoperative preparation. STUDY DESIGN: All patients had refractory symptomatic menorrhagia and previously failed conservative surgery and other…

Stump pemphigoid is a localized variant of bullous pemphigoid characterized by specific clinical, pathological, and immunofluorescent characteristics. The early diagnosis of this entity guides treatment toward this specific immunologically mediated…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study examined what factors influence US third-year family practice residents' choice of location of their first practice. METHODS: A survey was developed by the members of Northeastern Ohio Network to assess the…

Several recent studies have provided evidence that gonadal steroid hormones can exert acute (nongenomic) effects on both neural and vascular tissues. This study examines the acute effects of testosterone (T) on vascular reactivity of the rat thoracic…

Male C57/B1 mice received bilateral intranasal infusions of saline, MPTP or an intraperitoneal injection of MPTP. Infusions were performed using a peristaltic pump at a setting of 100 microliters/min. The MPTP, diluted in saline at concentrations of…

Characteristic clinical findings of fever, cough, and rhonchi, together with a new infiltrate on chest films and documentation of a pathogen, establish a diagnosis of infectious pneumonia. Several factors have had an impact on the approach to…

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…

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…

Although first described almost a century ago, only in the last 15 years has Helicobacter pylori been characterized and associations with disease states recognized. H pylori has been linked to both gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. There is also…

Injury to the ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb, once a common chronic occupational injury occurring in British gamekeepers, is now most frequently an acute sports-related injury in skiers, football players and other athletes. Differentiation of…

Pylephlebitis or septic thrombophlebitis of the portal vein, a precursor of hepatic abscesses, is an extremely rare and frequently fatal complication of diverticulitis. The following report describes a patient presenting with pylephlebitis and…

As the number of elderly persons continues to increase, family physicians will be caring for more patients with Alzheimer's disease. The treatment plan for patients with this incurable illness should be directed at optimizing their physical and…

Staphylococcus and streptococcus are bacteria commonly found on the skin and in the mucous membrane. These bacteria are frequently associated with mild cutaneous infections but may invade to cause deeper infections including necrotizing soft-tissue…

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…

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…

Primary care physicians have an important role in diagnosing and treating eye disorders–including dacryocystitis, blepharitis, and conjunctivitis–and in determining when ophthalmologic referral is needed. Fundus examination for diagnosis of glaucoma…

Characteristic clinical findings of fever, cough, and rhonchi, together with a new infiltrate on chest films and documentation of a pathogen, establish a diagnosis of infectious pneumonia. Several factors have had an impact on the approach to…

Hypomagnesemia may be caused by renal losses (often related to drugs or diabetes), inadequate intake or inadequate intestinal absorption. Manifestations may include arrhythmias, particularly during myocardial ischemia or with digitalis use, and such…

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,…

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…

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…
