Context. Women diagnosed with ovarian cancer are at risk for reduced quality of life (QOL). It is imperative to further define these declines to interpret treatment outcomes and design appropriate clinical interventions. Objectives. The primary…

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to assess which quality-of-life (QOL) line items on the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Ovarian (FACT-O) were associated with low QOL in women who were receiving chemotherapy for ovarian cancer.…

Objective. There is a paucity of evidence demonstrating that emergency department (ED) ultrasound changes clinical practice in trauma patients. We hypothesized that the presence of ultrasound would affect clinical decision making as evidenced through…

Ten male rats were trained to discriminate the anorectic drug d,l-fenfluramine (2.0 mg/kg intraperitoneally administered) from its vehicle using a food-reinforced (fixed-ratio 10 schedule) two-lever operant task. Once learned, the fenfluramine…

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…

HDL and apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1) concentrations inversely correlate with risk of death from ischemic heart disease; however, the role of apoA1 in the myocardial response to ischemia has not been well defined. To test whether apoA1, the primary HDL…

OBJECTIVE: The expanded use of laparoscopy has led to reports of tumor dissemination and spread to laparoscopic port sites. We previously showed that carbon dioxide insufflation produced tumor dissemination compared with laparotomy. It is unknown…

1. Experiments were conducted to investigate if the psychostimulant cathinone, like d-amphetamine, would produce generalization of the discriminative stimulus effects of nicotine. 2. Rats were trained to discriminate either 0.8 mg/kg cathinone from…

CGS 10746B, a dopamine release inhibitor with properties similar to the atypical antipsychotic clozapine, was assessed as to its behavioral properties using spontaneous locomotor activity and the conditioned place preference test. Rats conditioned…

The effect of introducing intraperitoneal carboplatinum on wound healing immediately after wound closure was studied using a rat model. All animals were opened through a midline incision. A bowel anastomosis was then performed in a single-or…
