Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hypertension during aortic surgery is a poorly understood, multifactorial event that may increase the risk of spinal cord injury.
To assess the factors that may contribute to changes in CSF pressure duri... | C23 |
6,492 | 2,119 | Results of vein graft reconstruction of the lower extremity in diabetic and nondiabetic patients.
The results of 171 vein grafts of the lower extremity were evaluated.
These were placed between January 1981 and December 1987 in 150 patients, 75 diabetic and 75 nondiabetic, to determine the influence of diabetes on th... | C23 |
6,493 | 2,485 | Cytogenetic analysis of 750 spontaneous abortions with the direct-preparation method of chorionic villi and its implications for studying genetic causes of pregnancy wastage.
Altogether, 750 cases of spontaneous abortion between the fifth and 25th week of gestation were analyzed cytogenetically by the direct-preparati... | C23 |
6,494 | 8,029 | Psychosomatic factors in borderline hypertensive subjects and offspring of hypertensive parents.
Psychosomatic factors, sympathoneural and sympathoadrenal as well as cardiovascular mechanisms, were studied in 24 patients 18-24 years of age with borderline hypertension, 50 age-matched normotensive offspring of hyperten... | C23 |
6,495 | 4,849 | Subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by a fungal aneurysm of the vertebral artery as a complication of intracranial aneurysm clipping. Case report.

A case is described in which the formation of an aneurysm followed an intracranial intraoperative Aspe... | C23 |
6,496 | 7,359 | The use of gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging to determine lesion site in traumatic facial paralysis.
Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging has been used to evaluate 20 patients with surgically confirmed facial nerve lesions.
When the nerve could be seen, gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance im... | C23 |
6,497 | 6,871 | Circumflex artery ventricular fistula and pseudoaneurysm after mitral reoperation.
Prosthetic mitral valve reoperation complicated by atrioventricular groove pseudoaneurysm and circumflex ventricular fistula is presented.
Ligation of the circumflex artery during mitral valve replacement is implicated after review of ... | C23 |
6,498 | 3,486 | Vagal modulation of the rate-dependent properties of the atrioventricular node.
Vagal effects on atrioventricular (AV) nodal conduction are accentuated by increases in heart rate.
To establish the mechanism of these rate-dependent negative dromotropic actions, we studied the properties governing AV nodal adaptation t... | C23 |
6,499 | 3,909 | Late onset adrenal hyperplasia: mutation at codon 282 of the functional 21-hydroxylase gene is not ubiquitous.
Ten patients affected with 21-hydroxylase (21-OH) deficient late-onset adrenal hyperplasia were studied to determine the prevalence of a mutation at codon 281 of the functional 21-OH gene (CYP21B) that result... | C23 |
