How Much Improvement is Expected in Ocular Lesions of Behçet's Disease Treated with Pulse Cyclophosphamide?

Background: The natural history of ocular lesions in Behçet's disease is toward severe loss of vision/blindness in few years, whereas cytotoxic drugs have changed the outcome. Several open labeled cohort studies showed pulse cyclophosphamide (PCP) to be the best choice. Since one third of these patients are resistant to PCP it is important to know how much improvement one can expect from the r...

Management of leg and pressure ulcer in hospitalized patients: direct costs are lower than expected

BACKGROUND In Germany, cost calculations on the financial burden of wound treatment are scarce. Studies for attributable costs in hospitalized patients estimate for pressure ulcer additional costs of € 6,135.50 per patient, a calculation based on the assumption that pressure ulcers will lead to prolonged hospitalization averaging 2 months. The scant data available in this field prompted us to c...

THRESHOLD TWO–PION PHOTO – AND ELECTROPRODUCTION: More neutrals than expected

We present an exploratory study of two pion photo– and electroproduction off the nu-cleon in the threshold region. To calculate the pertinent amplitudes, we make use of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. We show that due to finite chiral loops the production cross section for final states with two neutral pions is considerably enhanced. The experimental implications are briefly discussed.

Pathologic Findings of Diagnostic Curettage for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding

ABSTRACT The Purpose of this study was determination of prevalence of various findings in pathologic reports of D&C that were done for abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) in pre/peri/postmenopausal women. Study population in this discriptive cross-sectional study was all of D&C operations that were done for AUB indication in Alzahra hospital from April 1997 until April 1998. Their pathologic rep...
