Background: As a parameter for the evaluation of vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP), amplitude has been used clinically.However, significance latency not considered.Objective: To clarify diagnostic value latencies VEMP. Design:We reviewed records VEMP patients with various diseases and compared them healthy volunteers.Setting: Data were collected from in an outpatient clinic tertiary care center volunteers.Subjects: Clinical 134 (61 men 73 women, aged 20-75 years) reviewed.Diagnoses...
ErbB2-negative breast tumors represent a significant therapeutic hurdle because of lack effective molecular targets. Although NOTCH proteins are known to be involved in mammary tumorigenesis, the functional significance these is not clear. In present study, we examined expression activated receptors human cancer cell lines, including and ErbB2-positive lines. Activated NOTCH1 NOTCH3 generated by gamma-secretase were detected most lines tested, both CSL-mediated transcription. Down-regulation...
Background Several studies have reported that physical loading related to competitive sports activities is associated with lumbar intervertebral disk degeneration. However, the association between types of and degeneration has not been clarified. Hypothesis The frequencies may vary sport because different postures actions specific each sport. Study Design Cross-sectional study (prevalence); Level evidence, 3. Methods participants were 308 well-trained university athletes (baseball players,...
Intraosseous benign notochordal cell tumors are recently recognized conditions that may undergo malignant transformation to classic chordomas. This study attempts define the morphologic and immunohistochemical characteristics of 34 by contrasting them with chordomas vestiges in fetal intervertebral discs. Benign were characterized well-demarcated though unencapsulated sheets adipocyte-like vacuolated less eosinophilic cells within axial bones. The round nuclei mildly polymorphic but bland....
Recent investigations have demonstrated the utility of monoclonal antibody D2-40 as a marker for lymphatic endothelium. can be used on formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded materials. Our objective was to elucidate, using immunohistochemistry, differences among capillary hemangiomas, especially between kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) tufted angioma (TA). We studied four cases KHE, nine TA, 31 other vascular tumors. Antibodies against CD31, CD34, factor VIII-related antigen, GLUT1 were...

Oral examination results obtained from parents or guardians, who transcribed information recorded by medical staff at a public...
The majority of orthopaedic problems experienced by competitive swimmers are related to pain in the shoulder, low back, and knee. Three 39 national swim team members were hampered their performance due lumbar disk herniation at an international competition 2001. There has been no previous research into degeneration elite swimmers.Excessive swimming activities accelerate degeneration.Case control study; Level evidence, 3.Fifty-six (high-load group, 35 men 21 women; mean age, 19.6 years) a...
Although the implementation of routine screening for distress is desirable, doing so difficult in today's busy clinical oncology practice. We developed 'Distress Screening Program Ambulatory Care' (DISPAC program) as a practical means and facilitating treatment major depression adjustment disorders cancer patients. This study assessed feasibility usefulness DISPAC program actual situations.As part program, nurses administered psychological measure, Distress Impact Thermometer (DIT), to...
Background Axillary reverse mapping (ARM) is a novel technique for preserving the upper extremity lymphatic pathways during axillary lymph node surgery. However, there no evidence of usefulness ARM patients undergoing sentinel biopsy (SNB). Methods Between August 2009 and July 2012, 372 who underwent SNB procedure breast cancer were enrolled in this study. Using indocyanine green fluorescence indigocarmine blue dye method, we studied relationship between flow (SN). Our aim study was...
Major depression and adjustment disorders are common psychiatric in patients with cancer, but they often overlooked clinical oncology settings. The nurse-assisted screening referral program (NASPRP) has been introduced practice to facilitate treatment for major disorders. This study assessed the usefulness of NASPRP compared it usual practice.The consists two stages. In first stage, consecutive newly admitted Oncology/Hematology Unit administered Distress Impact Thermometer (DIT) by nurses...
