A Model of Spontaneous Remission From Addiction

Spontaneous remission of African lymphoma.

THE extreme sensitivity to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and the relatively high incidence of long-term survivals observed in the treatment of African lymphoma is now well known (Burkitt, Hutt and Wright, 1965 ; Clifford, 1966 ; Ngu, 1966). The observation that long-term remissions, amounting to possible cures. can follow a single dose of chemotherapy (Burkitt, 1966) suggests a strong antitumo...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Spontaneous Remission of Pul)monary Hypertension and Recovery from Heart

Previous reports from this laboratory have dealt with the ecologic, pathologic, clinical, and pathophysiologic features of brisket disease (1, 2). On the basis of these studies brisket disease may be defined as altitude-dependent, pulmonary, hypertensive heart disease in cattle of the species Bos taiurus. Briefly, the disease in Utah occurs primarily in young calves usually during their first e...

Spontaneous remission of fully symptomatic visceral leishmaniasis

BACKGROUND Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), i.e., infection with Leishmania sp. associated with high fever, weight loss, massive splenomegaly and markedly altered laboratory parameters, is generally fatal if untreated. The possibility of transient spontaneous remission of fully symptomatic visceral leishmaniasis (VL) has been mentioned but, to our knowledge) has never been documented. CASE PRESEN...
