The driving reactions of 25 patients were assessed before and after operation for hip replacement. Driving reactions were tested by monitoring the delay and force of brake application after an emergency signal, using a simulated driving control system. Fifteen normal subjects were also tested. Statistical analysis demonstrated significant differences between patients with either left or right h...

The complication of oesophagopleural fistula is described in eight of 1,389 patients (0 5%) who underwent pneumonectomy for carcinoma of the bronchus. All the patients had a right pneumonectomy performed and seven of the eight patients developed a bronchopleural fistula before developing an oesophageal fistula. The complication appeared between two weeks and 22 months after pneumonectomy. All t...

Forty-eight hours after undergoing a successful right carotid endarectomy a patient complained of headache in and behind the right eye radiating to the temple and forehead. The onset of headache was sudden, and the pain was severe and throbbing. After three weeks of regular four- to eight-hour attacks each day the headaches gradually became less frequent. Two months after operation they had dis...

in this experiment six healthy adult dairy jersey cattles and eight calves (aged 4-6 months) were selected to measure temperature of different body skin sites, rectal temperature, respiration and heart rates during summer and winter. body sites maximum and minimum temperature in calves during summer belonged to the ear, forehead, right flank, abdomen (38.4-38.9 ˚c) and carpus (32 ˚c). this was ...

A spayed Samoyed bitch, 12 years old, was presented to the Veterinary Clinical Hospital of the University of Cordoba (Spain) with abundant vulvar sanguineous discharge over the previous three days. The clinical examination revealed a remarkable vulvar mass, which protruded through the vulvar lips. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed the presence of structures compatible with uterus and ovary, wh...

was obtained at operation or necropsy from 22 patients, including 14 with obstructive and eight with nonobstructive ASH, and studied by both light and electron microscopy. Many hypertrophied, bizarrely shaped, and abnormally arranged cardiac muscle cells, presumably a morphologic manifestation of the genetically transmitted myocardial defect in ASH, were present in the ventricular septum of all...

Ammonia metabolism in chronic obstnuctive pulmonary disease with special reference to congestive right ventricular failure. A study of 36 patients was undertaken to evaluate the role of raised blood and CSF ammonia in the production of central nervous manifestations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (C...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant tumor of minor salivary gland, accounting for less than 2% of all the head and neck malignancies. It is characterized as slow growth, long clinical course, local recurrences and distant metastases. Once ACC of primary site presents recurrence and distant metastasis, the prognosis is generally poor. Renal metastasis related to this cancer is rel...

OBJECTIVE To investigate, using PET and H2(15)O, brain activation abnormalities of patients with PD during motor imagery. To determine whether motor imagery activation patterns depend on the hand used to complete the task. BACKGROUND Previous work in PD has shown that bradykinesia is associated with slowness of motor imagery. METHODS The PET study was performed in eight patients with PD wit...

Awareness of anatomical variations in lungs is essential during segmental or lobar resections of lungs. We studied the variations of fissures, lobes and hilar structures in 65 right and 73 left isolated lungs from the dissection hall. Horizontal fissure was absent in 3.07% and incomplete in 35.38% of right lungs. Four point six one percentage of right lungs had 3 fissures and 4 lobes. Three poi...
