We examined whether higher human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) viral load predicted risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3 (CIN3) or cancer (together termed zCIN3) within a cohort of 20,810 women followed for 10 years with cytologic screening. Semiquantitative viral load for HPV16 was measured on baseline cervicovaginal specimens using a type-specific hybridization probe test with signal...

During recent years there has been increasing interest in the study of fat absorption, particularly in the investigation of conditions associated with steatorrhoea. The need for a single diagnostic test for steatorrhoea, suitable for use with both outpatients and in-patients, has become apparent. Ideally, such a test should be easy to carry out for the patient and nursing staff as well as for t...

Skom and Talmage have demonstrated a non-precipitating antibody against insulin in the sera of insulin-treated diabetics. But their method of determining the antibody is not quantitative. In the present study, a titration of the insulin binding activity of anti-insulin was performed more quantitatively using 1311-labeled insulin and antiguinea pig r-globulin rabbit sera under the condition of i...

251-labelled human trypsin metabolism has been investigated in man. Three subjects received 1251-trypsin and 1311-albumin intravenously. Against a background secretin infusion (lu/kg/h), trypsin decayed biexponentially from the serum with half-lives of 17.5, 21, and 24 minutes for the rapid disappearance phase and 520, 540, and 560 minutes for the slow phase. Between 130% and 38% of the 1251 in...

Background—Peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor-g (PPARg) is activated by fatty acids, eicosanoids, and insulin-sensitizing thiazolidinediones (TZDs). The TZD troglitazone (TRO) inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and migration in vitro and in postinjury intimal hyperplasia. Methods and Results—Rat and human VSMCs express mRNA and nuclear receptors for PPARg1. Three ...

This paper presents a systematic review, rating and synthesis of the empirical evidence for the use of psychotropic medications in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Thirty-three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in peer-reviewed journals qualified for inclusion and were coded and analyzed using a systematic evaluative method specific to autism research (Reichow et al. i...

The measurement of lung perfusion by bronchospirometry was first described by Bjorkman in 1934. The method is cumbersome and unpleasant for the patient, since it involves intratracheal intubation. Nevertheless, it is still a standard method for the measurement of individual lung perfusion. In 1964, Wagner, Sabiston, McAfee, Tow, and Stern described their preliminary findings with a new radioiso...
