Our patient's positive outcome demonstrates the usefulness of megadose steroid therapy for acute optic nerve injury. | C21 |
9,793 | 6,960 | A new orthosis for central cord syndrome and brachial plexus injuries.
Proximal upper extremity weakness may develop secondary to central cord syndrome due to spinal cord injury or brachial plexus injury.
Functional deficits, pain, decreased upper extremity arm swing during gait, and shoulder subluxation are common s... | C21 |
9,794 | 5,212 | The acute effects of alcohol on the blood pressure of young, normotensive men.
Alcohol's acute effects on arterial blood pressure (BP) were examined.
To separate the effects of alcohol on BP from those of fluid volume and expectancy, normotensive men were divided into three groups.
The alcohol group received 1.0 ml ... | C21 |
9,795 | 9,234 | Balloon catheter tamponade in cardiovascular wounds.
From 1980 to 1990, operative balloon catheter tamponade was used in 12 patients with cardiac or vascular injuries from penetrating wounds.
In nine patients, a balloon catheter was passed into a bleeding site through a bullet track or proximal artery and inflated wi... | C21 |
9,796 | 788 | Blunt traumatic pericardial rupture. A ten-year experience 1979 to 1989.
Blunt traumatic pericardial rupture is rarely diagnosed preoperatively and is associated with high mortality.
During a ten-year period from 1979 to 1989 over 20,000 patients were admitted to a major trauma center and 22 were found to have blunt ... | C21 |
9,797 | 2,796 | Asbestos content of lung tissue, lymph nodes, and pleural plaques from former shipyard workers.
Autopsy samples from eight former shipyard workers were collected from lung parenchyma, tracheal lymph nodes, and pleural plaques.
The tissue from each respective area was prepared by a modified bleach digestion technique,... | C21 |
9,798 | 5,436 | In vivo biological effects of stereotactic radiosurgery: a primate model.
Single-fraction, closed skull, small-volume irradiation (radiosurgery) of intact intracranial structures requires accurate knowledge of radiation tolerance.
We have developed a baboon model to assess the in vivo destructive radiobiological effe... | C21 |
9,799 | 7,048 | Photodynamic therapy with chloroaluminum-sulfonated phthalocyanine.
To study the vascular effects of a new photosensitizing agent independent of the influence of tumor growth, a cutaneous wound model was used.
Six-week-old Harlan-Sprague-Dawley "Fuzzy" rats were surgically wounded in a standard fashion.
The animals ... | C21 |
