We present our experience using the vastus lateralis myocutaneous flap for the repair of defects around the groin and pelvis.
It is a relatively new technique, with many advantages over other flaps used in this area, though ... | C17 |
2,291 | 8,832 | Increased plasma histamine levels in uraemic pruritus.
1.
We determined plasma levels of histamine in uraemic patients and examined their correlation with the presence of pruritus.
2.
In 27 patients with chronic renal failure, plasma histamine levels were analysed by radioimmunoassay and were compared with those of... | C17 |
2,292 | 7,213 | A substitution at a non-glycine position in the triple-helical domain of pro alpha 2(I) collagen chains present in an individual with a variant of the Marfan syndrome.
A substitution for a highly conserved non-glycine residue in the triple-helical domain of the pro alpha 2(I) collagen molecule was found in an individu... | C17 |
2,293 | 867 | Transdermal viprostol in the treatment of male pattern baldness.
Fifty-seven men were randomly assigned for treatment of androgenetic alopecia with viprostol, vehicle, or placebo twice daily for 24 weeks.
Nonvellus hair growth was assessed subjectively by both patient and investigator and objectively through hair cou... | C17 |
2,294 | 868 | Pityriasis lichenoides in children: a long-term follow-up of eighty-nine cases.
Pityriasis lichenoides is usually classified into an acute and a chronic form.
From a review of 89 cases of the disease seen since 1974 it seems that a more realistic classification into three main groups, according to the distribution of... | C17 |
2,295 | 3,222 | Anaesthetic management of systemic mastocytosis.
Systemic mastocytosis is an uncommon disorder of mast cell proliferation in connective tissues.
Mast cell degranulation may occur on exposure to various stimuli and drugs.
The release of histamine, heparin and vasoactive substances such as prostaglandin D2 may cause s... | C17 |
2,296 | 842 | Hypereosinophilic syndrome with unusual cutaneous manifestations in two men with HIV infection.
We report two men with human immunodeficiency virus infection who had unusual cutaneous manifestations of hypereosinophilic syndrome, exfoliative erythroderma, and linear flagellate plaques.
In the first patient the cutane... | C17 |
2,297 | 4,591 | Lymphocyte trafficking in psoriasis: a new perspective emphasizing the dermal dendrocyte with active dermal recruitment mediated via endothelial cells followed by intra-epidermal T-cell activation.
Prominent within the inflammatory infiltrate of psoriasis are HLA-DR positive T lymphocytes and factor XIIIa positive der... | C17 |
2,298 | 4,585 | Speculations on the immunopathogenesis of psoriasis: T-cell violation of a keratinocyte sphere of influence.
The thesis is advanced that the differences in antigen processing and presentation described for "fresh" and "cultured" Langerhans cells in vitro reflect similar differences between intraepidermal and intranoda... | C17 |
2,299 | 4,596 | Psoriasis: the application of genetic technology and mapping.
Recent progress in molecular genetics has led to the creation of a map of the human genome utilizing RFLP.
Given a sufficient family structure, genetic diseases can now be placed on this map.
Genetic studies of psoriasis can both help resolve and be confo... | C17 |
