The knowledge acquired in recent years in the field of etiopathogenesis of materials for prosthesis and of surgical technics regarding inguinal hernias together with a renewed interest for local-regional anesthesia has created a real revolution in a field that for almost 100 years had been dominated by the same uncontr…

PURPOSE: All urethral reconstruction that involves substitution has an inherent ongoing incidence of restenosis with time. Anastomotic restoration of urethral continuity naturally obviates these complications but to achieve its potential of a long-term stricture-free success rate that approaches 100% circumstances must…

The long-term survival probability, causes of delayed mortality, and relationship between short-term outcome and long-term survival after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage were retrospectively studied in 106 patients followed up for longer than 5 years. The Kaplan-Meier cumulative survival probabilities at 1 month, 6…

The lipid and apolipoprotein states of 74 men (mean age 49.96 +/- 5.9 years) were studied 24 h before coronary bypass surgery and their results were compared with those of a control group of 78 men (mean age 48.88 +/- 5.41 years). Apolipoproteins C-III (apo C-III) and E (apo E) were determined in particles with (LpB) a…

A commercial flock of Suffolk and Suffolk-cross breeding rams was monitored for 5 years in an effort to control epididymitis caused by Brucella ovis. Scrotal palpation, semen evaluations, and vaccination against B ovis were used the first 3 years. Serologic evaluation (complement fixation and ELISA) was added the fourt…

Six human subjects (5 male, 1 female, age 23.7 + 5.7 years) with incapacitating partial seizure disorders intractable to medical therapy have been treated by ongoing pulsed electrical stimulation of anterior nucleus of the thalamus.

The irregular eating patterns of both shift workers and evening chronotypes adversely affect cardiometabolic health. A tool that conveniently captures temporal patterns of eating alongside an indicator of circadian rhythm such as chronotype will enable researchers to explore relationships with diverse health outcome me…

We aimed to assess the clinical characteristics of patients presenting for premature ejaculation (PE) as their primary medical complaint over a 15-year time frame. Data from 257 men seeking first medical help for life-long PE between 2008 and 2022 were analysed. Clinical data and serum hormones were collected in each c…

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether recent immigration to Canada constitutes a risk factor for excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) in our patient population. METHODS: We performed a retrospective chart review of all deliveries performed by five obstetricians at the McGill University Health Centre in Montreal between 1…

We build and analyse the network of 100 top-cited nodes (research papers and books from Google Scholar; the strength or citation of the nodes range from about 44 000 up to 100) starting in early 1980 until last year. These searched publications (papers and books) are based on Quantum Annealing Computat…

An incidence cohort consisting of 308 multiple sclerosis patients was followed up repeatedly during at least 25 years of disease. A number of clinical factors were analysed with respect to their validity in assessing the long-term prognosis. Of the onset characteristics, the type of course was the most important, with…

We reviewed 41 patients with 43 proximal ulnar nerve compression syndromes. The usual procedure was neurolysis of the ulnar nerve und subcutaneous transposition. The average follow-up period was 5 1/2 years (15 1/4 years to 3 months). The M/F ratio is 2.4:1. Most of the patients are hard manual workers, the dominant ar…
