In this report we describe some of the data on the capacity for estrogen to function as a neuroprotectant of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic (NSDA) system. The data show that estrogen (E) can alter two different response characteristics to NSDA…

The wild mouse ecotropic retrovirus, Cas-Br-E, induces progressive, noninflammatory spongiform neurodegenerative disease in susceptible mice. Functional genetic analysis of the Cas-Br-E genome indicates that neurovirulence maps to the env gene, which…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify the complex issues facing Asian/Pacific Islander (API) women students at one Midwestern medical school as they subjectively experience their medical training. Of particular interest was…

This article describes the progression of steps followed to demonstrate a gender difference associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) and to gain an understanding of the basis, mechanisms, and implications of this gender specificity. First, a review…

In this mini-review are first presented data which highlight the capacity and characteristics for estrogen to act as a neuroprotectant of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system. Estrogen administration significantly attenuates the degree of striatal…

OBJECTIVE: To account for age and premedical education in determining whether or not men and women medical school graduates differ significantly in opinions of their medical school preparation, in professional activities, and in personal qualities…

The 63rd National Scientific Meeting of the American College of Rheumatology was quite general in scope, with clinical and animal model studies forming the basis for this report. Arthritis-suppressive medications were further analyzed as to morbidity…

Medical case management of musculoskeletal injuries can be facilitated when objective testing of the physical demands of the job can be compared to the functional capabilities of the individual. When the job analysis is appropriately sectioned into…

Eighty-three women who perceived themselves to be at risk for ovarian cancer completed a battery of surveys. In addition to demographics, subjects were asked to complete the Brief Symptom Inventory, Multidimensional Health Locus of Control, Death…

This article reviews the constructs of religion, guilt, and mental health and explores relationships between these constructs as they pertain to the counseling profession. General therapeutic approaches are identified and summarized for counseling…

Low back pain is less common in young people than in adults but more often can be traced to a specific cause. A common cause of back pain in adolescents is spondylolysis, a fatigue fracture of a lumbar vertebra that occurs most frequently in young…

This article describes the progression of steps followed to demonstrate a gender difference associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) and to gain an understanding of the basis, mechanisms, and implications of this gender specificity. First, a review…

Arnold Relman argues that medical education does not prepare students and residents to practice their profession in today's corporate health care system. Corporate health care administrators agree: Physicians enter the workforce unskilled in contract…

Health care in the future will continue to be complex and involve private companies and the government. Decisions regarding medical necessity will need to be made regarding the type and intensity of care for different individuals. Insurance programs…

Low back pain (LBP) is a significant public health problem that frequently restricts patient activity and boosts health care costs. LBP is also a vexing clinical problem. Although it is usually associated with specific work and social factors, in…

The ability to secure a patient's airway is crucial in the management of acutely life-threatening illnesses and injuries. Since a number of factors can make routine endotracheal intubation difficult or impossible, critical care clinicians must be…

The regulation of Col2a1, which encodes type II collagen, likely results from a balance of both positive and negative proteins. Here we present evidence that the transcription factor delta EF1 participates in the negative regulation of Col2a1…

The hypothesis that flower shape affects nectar-feeding performance was examined for the nectarivorous bat, Syconycteris australis. Experiments using feeders with artificial flowers of different diameters demonstrated that the narrow flower diameter…

Noninvasive ventilation has been used extensively to treat chronic respiratory failure associated with neuromuscular and other restrictive thoracic diseases, and is also effective in the treatment of acute respiratory failure, allowing some patients…
