We have developed a simple, sensitive, and accurate method for the determination of chloroform in rat blood, brain, kidney, liver, and fat. The detection limit is 2.5 ng of chloroform per gram of tissue. Studies of in vivo distribution of chloroform in rat blood and target tissues after intragastric intubation of chloroform/water show that the amount of chloroform accumulated in the different t...

There are large individual differences in susceptibility to noise exposure. Most hearing impairment begins with dip type hearing loss, and continual evoked otoacoustic emissions (C-EOAEs) are frequently seen in ears with dip type hearing loss. The present study was performed in order to ascertain the relationship between dip type hearing loss and C-EOAE. Brass band members in two junior high sc...

[1] Since the work of Kanamori and Given (1981), it has been recognized that shallow, pure dip‐slip earthquakes excite long‐period surface waves such that it is difficult to independently constrain the moment (M0) and the dip (d) of the source mechanism, with only the product M0 sin(2d) being well constrained. Because of this, it is often assumed that the primary discrepancies between the momen...

Drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) is the second-most-common etiology of parkinsonism in the elderly after Parkinson's disease (PD). Many patients with DIP may be misdiagnosed with PD because the clinical features of these two conditions are indistinguishable. Moreover, neurological deficits in patients with DIP may be severe enough to affect daily activities and may persist for long periods of ti...

OBJECTIVE Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement is common in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Dexamethasone iontophoresis (DIP) uses low-grade electric currents for transdermal dexamethasone delivery into deeper anatomic structures. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of DIP for the treatment of TMJ involvement in JIA, and to delineate variables that are...
