This study compared the physiologic responses to forward and retrograde simulated stair stepping on the StairMaster 4000 PT. Twenty male subjects (mean age 23.65 +/- 1.63 years) volunteered for this study. Subjects completed a practice trial of 6 minutes of both forward and retrograde stepping at Level 5. Each experime…

A herd of Norwegian dairy goats was subject to selection for high and low antibody response to diphtheria toxoid for 12 yr, or approximately 5.5 generations because sires were used for one mating season, whereas dams were used several years. The herd comprised approximately 100 milking goats. Only sires were tested and…

We examined the clinical significance of bisynchronous spike-wave complexes which appear in EEGs of some patients with focal spikes in one or both temporal lobes. Few features distinguished patients with bisynchronous spike-waves from those with only focal temporal spikes: a higher incidence of patients with more than…

This paper describes a multivariate analysis of a 3-year prospective study of the covariates of age at menopause among women who were randomly sampled from a general population. This approach avoids three problems that may account for the inconsistent results of prior studies: recall bias in retrospectively collected d…

A review of 59 popliteal aneurysms in 38 patients seen over 10 years revealed that 34 (58%) aneurysms were symptomatic. Symptoms included gangrene (15%), ischemia due to thrombosis (38%) and embolism (5%). Patients with unilateral aneurysms (45%) were a median of 7 years younger than those with bilateral lesions (55%).…

Seventeen patients, aged from 2 days to 16 1/2 years, all suffering from acute myocarditis, were observed between 1975 and 1987. At the onset of the acute infection all patients had a severe disfunction of the left ventricle. Two patients died after hospital admission. Death occurred after one day and after five days,…

We report the case of a 68-year-old male who was hospitalized for suspicion of endoleak and thrombosis of an aortic endoprosthesis, arising after multiple endovascular interventions during the last few months. During the intervention, amass was discovered, and biopsies were made. The anatomopathology results were in fa…

BACKGROUND: The last few years have been marked by striking advances in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG), thanks mainly to developments in instrumentation and technical progress in the revascularization of the posterior arteries of the heart. In 2001, OPCABG was performed on approximately 20% of patien…

Amborella trichopoda Baill. (Amborellaceae, Amborellales), the sole living member of the sister group to all other extant angiosperms, is endemic to New Caledonia. We addressed the intraspecific phylogeography of Amborella by investigating whether its present population genetic structure could be related to its current…

PURPOSE: Infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) with periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) has a poor neurological prognosis. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and vigabatrin therapies are the recommended first-line treatments for IESS. However, ACTH monotherapy for IESS with PVL has not been studied in detail. We an…

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Hypospadias is characterized by a displacement of the urethral opening in males that can change from the typical position within the glans penis to a subcoronal position (Type I), to anywhere along the ventral shaft (Type II), to penoscrotal, scrotal, or perineal positions (Type III). We and ot…

PURPOSE: To report the frequency of presentation of bifid or multiple iliopsoas tendons in patients who underwent endoscopic release for internal snapping hip syndrome (ISHS) and to compare both groups. METHODS: A consecutive series of patients with ISHS were treated with endoscopic transcapsular release of the iliops…

BACKGROUND: Bony increased-offset-reverse shoulder arthroplasty (BIO-RSA) has shown promising short- to medium-term results; however, long-term outcomes are lacking. The goal of the present study was to report on survival and long-term (minimum 10-year follow-up) outcomes of BIO-RSA. METHODS: Retrospective single-cent…

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of fluocinolone acetonide implant (FAci) injected 1 month after the last dexamethasone intravitreal implant (DEXi) in chronic diabetic macular oedema (DME) patients. METHODS: Retrospective multicentric study conducted in pseudophakic patien…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of the median nerve constrictive operation combined with tendon transfer to treat the brain paralysis convulsive deformity of the hand. METHODS: The clinical data from 21 cases with brain paralysis convulsive deformity of the hand were analyzed retrospectively between August 20…

O'Dea et al. (2022) (Pleistocene sea level changes and crocodile population histories on the isthmus of panama: a comment on Avila-Cervantes et al. (2020). Evolution, 76(11), 2778-2783. https://doi.org/10.1111/evo.14610) question our hypothesis that sea-level changes during the past glaciation played a role in restrict…

UNLABELLED: Hodgkin lymphoma shows a well-known geographic pattern, but temporal changes have been found recently as well. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The Authors analyzed 439 Hodgkin lymphoma patients' clinicopathological and treatment data. Patients were treated at our department from 1980 until the end of 2008. RESULTS:…

The diagnostic yield of echocardiography, radionuclide ventriculography (first pass and multiple gated) and contrast ventriculography was evaluated in 11 patients in whom a diagnosis of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm had been made during the last ten years. The diagnosis was made by two dimensional echocardiography (a…

OBJECTIVE: Dyslipidemia is a major complication of antiretroviral treatment. Aim of the present study was to screen baseline lipid levels and cardiovascular disease risk in HIV-positive patients and analyze change in those parameters after initiation of antiretroviral treatment (ART). METHODS: HIV-positive patients wh…

In present-day obstetrics, cesarean delivery occurs in one in three women in the United States, and in up to four of five women in some regions of the world. The history of cesarean section extends well over four centuries. Up until the end of the nineteenth century, the operation was avoided because of its high mortal…
