Experimental cerebral infarction was induced in 94 dogs by injecting one or two silicone rubber cylinders through the cervical internal carotid artery. The 47 large-sized infarctions of the cerebral hemisphere (LSICH) were more frequently created with a double silicone embolization (DSE; 76.2%) than with a single silicone embolization (42.5%). In the DSE method, the first emboliza tion ga...

  The outer membranes of the subdural neomembranes (SNs) from 30 patients with chronic sub dural hematoma were examined by light and electron microscopes. All the specimens were gained by “en bloc” resection together with the overlying dura mater. Seventeen cases had histories of head injury which varied from 10 to 90 days prior to the operation.   Besides the cells kn...

BACKGROUND Interventions to improve sleep in fibromyalgia may generalize to improvements in multiple symptom domains. Delta-embedded music, pulsating regularly within the 0.25 Hz to 4 Hz frequency band of brain wave activity, has the potential to induce sleep. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of a delta-embedded music program over four weeks for sleep induction in patients with fibromyalgia. ...
