W hereas several investigatorP have attempted to measure occlusion for epidemiologic purposes, there is no generally acceptable method. Variations in terminology, concepts, and methodology can be cited as the major reasons for the present lack of a universally acceptable index of occlusion. For these reasons, a study was undertaken to attempt to develop an index of occlusion, This index is call...

HCC cells are characterized by lipiodol deposition (an ethyl Ester of fatty acid of poppy seed containing 37-39% iodine by weight) and emulsification on cell surface, active uptake of lipiodol and prolonged intra-cellular retention for their life span [3]. For percutaneous ethanol lipiodol injection therapy the mixture of 99.5% ethanol and lipiodol at a ratio 10:1 was used with better results t...

Operation Hysterosalpingography was carried out under general anaesthesia using iodized poppy-seed oil containing 40 per cent. iodine (Lipiodol "F" Fluide, Laboratoires Andre Guerbet). The contrast medium was injected into the uterus under fluoroscopic control using a portable image intensifier. The Fallopian tubes appeared to be patent and a uterine septum was present. In a radiograph taken af...

A major toxicological challenge is distinguishing whether morphine in urine, in the absence of 6-monoacetylmorphine (6-MAM), originates from 'street' heroin use or poppy seed ingestion. Manufacturing byproducts from the synthesis of illicit heroin include those that originate from the reaction of acetic anhydride with the alkaloid impurity, thebaine, which undergoes skeletal rearrangement, resu...

Studies concerning drugs of abuse have made major contributions in defining the circuitry, as well as cellular and molecular substrates that underlie certain behaviors. Opiate drugs for example, have revealed important insights concerning pain perception and reward. Up to the late 1960s, opiate drugs were suspected to work by mysteriously perturbing lipid membrane structure. We now know the fol...
