The radioreceptor assay for hCG in ectopic pregnancy.
The Biocept-G test (Wampole) is a commercial modification of the radioreceptor assay for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) which takes 1 hours to process and has a sensitivity of 200 mIU/ml for hCG. Over a 9 1/2-month period, 70 consecutive patients with proven ectopic pregnancy were evaluated by the Biocept-G test, 2...

Brenner tumors of the ovary.
The clinicopathologic findings in 24 cases of Brenner tumors of the ovary, seen at the University of Michigan Medical Center between 1941 and 1975, are reported. Abnormal uterine bleeding was the most common presenting symptom. Associated endometrial changes ranging from glandular hyperplasia to invasive adenocarcinoma...

Indication and clinical evaluation of radical and semiradical neck dissection on the basis of 271 operations.
Between the period of 1956 and 1973, 271 radical and semiradical neck dissections were performed. The 'en bloc' method was used in 75 patients with cancer of the larynx and in 47 thyroid cancer patients. Analysis of the patient material revealed the operative mortality of 1.5%. 5-year survival was observed in 34.8% of ...

The Dens-Arch synchondrosis versus the Hangman's fracture.
The synchondrosis between the dens and arch of C2 is a normal structure in infants and children. It is not visible on lateral views of the cervical spine, but is routinely visible on oblique views. In such cases it has a distinct tendency to mimic a C2-arch fracture. The varying appearance of this synchondrosis and its...

Periosteal pennant lateral canthoplasty.
A periosteal pennant method of primary lateral canthoplasty is described, and it effectively maintains surgical correction of the axis of the palpebral fissure and the position of the lateral canthus. In using it more than 50 times, we have not had to do a secondary correction.

The muscle-suspension lower blepharoplasty.
The muscle-suspension (or muscle sling) lower blepharoplasty is a technique that can be used to some extent for all lower lids in which tightening and smoothing is desired. It seems to provide an extra degree of support by counteracting the natural tendency of gravity to produce scleral show or ectropion when the lid s...

Host defense against Neisseria meningitidis requires a complement-dependent bactericidal activity.
Some individuals, with severe or recurrent infection with Neisseria species, have been identified as lacking a component in the terminal attack sequence of complement (complement components 5 to 9). The relevance of the terminal attack sequence to various phases of host defense was tested with the use of the C-11 strai...

Erythrosin B inhibits dopamine transport in rat caudate synaptosomes.
Erythrosin B is a member of a class of fluorescein dyes that are suggested to elicit hyperkinesis when ingested by susceptible children. We found that erythrosin B inhibits dopamine uptake in rat caudate synaptosomes "uncompetitively" in the 10- to 800-micromolar range. Half maximal inhibition of uptake occurred at 45 ...

Infantile and adult fibrosarcomas of the soft tissues.
Histologic sections of 68 soft-tissue sarcomas initially diagnosed as fibrosarcoma were reviewed, and 36 were excluded because of revised diagnosis. The tumors from the remaining 32 patients were analyzed clinicopathologically, and were classifed into two types; the adult type (22 cases) and the infantile type (10 case...

Neurogenic hypernatraemia: case report.
A 49-year-old man was submitted to neurosurgery for a cranio-pharyngioma. The lesion, which appeared to involve the antero-inferior wall of the third ventricle, caused lack of appropriate antidiuretic hormone (ADH) release in response to hypernatraemia and plasma hyperosmolality. The probable mechanism of this hypothal...

Therapeutic nerve blocks for chronic pain.
Nerve blocks are an effective treatment in patients with many types of acute pain. However, they are much less effective in patients with chronic pain. Candidates for therapeutic nerve blocks should be carefully screened by: assessment of organic disease; evaluation of psychologic and behavioral disorders, and differen...

Sequential changes of orthogonal electrocardiograms in progressive muscular dystrophy of the Duchenne type.
Sequential changes of orthogonal electrocardiograms in 70 patients with progressive dystrophy of the Duchenne type (PMD) were investigated. The patients were classified into eight stages from the mildest, S(1), to the severest, S(8), according to Swinyard-Deaver's criteria. The most prominent finding was a progressive ...

Assessment of drug intervention on the ischemic myocardium: serial imaging and measurement with computerized tomography.
Computerized tomography was evaluated as a technique for imaging and measuring the effect of an intervention on acutely ischemic myocardium. Because cell edema occurs with acute myocardial ischemia and decreases the X-ray attenuation coefficients (tissue density) of myocardium, computerized tomographic images were used...

Plasma levels of tocopherol in sickle cell anemia subjects.
Plasma tocopherol levels of less than 0.8 microgram/g lipid were considered indicative of a vitamin E-deficient status. Based on this criterion, 10 out of 13 sickle cell anemia patients who were not in crisis, were considered deficient in vitamin E as compared to none of 24 normal control subjects.
