Three-month-old rats were injected intraperitoneally with [ 3 H]thymidine (4.3 microcuries per gram of body weight) and allowed to survive for 30 days. Radioautography 1-μm sections revealed labeled cells in the granular layers dentate gyrus olfactory bulb; these confirmed as neurons by electron microscopy reembedded sections.
Study Design. Randomized, controlled, single-blinded study. Objectives. To determine the physiologic effectiveness of lumbar medial branch blocks. Summary Background Data. Zygapophysial joint pain can be diagnosed by anesthetization or its nerve supply (the divisions dorsal rami). The blocks has been assumed but not proven. Methods. Eighteen asymptomatic individuals were randomly assigned to either L4-L5 L5-S1 zygapophysial injections with contrast medium until capsular distention elicited...
A randomized control trial of a curriculum, A.C.T. (Asthma Care Training) for Kids, was conducted. Seventy-six children between the ages 8 and 12 years, whose asthma required treatment with medications at least 25% days per month, were randomly assigned to experimental groups. The group received 4½ hours lecture presentations on its management. groups (consisting four seven their parents) five 1-hour sessions comprising
Abstract The population dynamics of internal granule cells in the rat olfactory bulb during adult life were analyzed histological sections and autoradiograms with (1) counts cells, (2) labeled 1 month after injection 3 H‐thymidine at various ages, (3) varying survival times (up to 18 months) months 24 months. total number increases linearly throughout life, approximately doubling between 31 Autoradiographic studies show that rate production new decreases from 12 then is constant rest span....
Abstract Newly formed neurons in the adult mammalian neocortex have been reported by several investigators using light microscopic radioautography, but these reports not confirmed electron microscopy—probably because their rarity precludes any reasonable chance of observing cells with radioautography. To overcome this problem I used a recently developed method that allows serial thin sectioning and subsequent examination plastic‐embedded sections previously prepared for Ninety‐day‐old rats...
Objective. To determine hip joint pain referral patterns. Design. Retrospective analysis. Setting. Multicenter. Patients. Fifty-one consecutive patients meeting clinical criteria of a symptomatic joint. Interventions. Fluoroscopically guided intra-articular injection. Outcome Measures. Anatomic map before injection and visual analog scale both after Results. The was shown to cause in traditionally accepted areas the groin thigh 55% 57% patients, respectfully. However, also seen buttock lower...
Abstract Pulmonary edema following the relief of acute upper airway obstruction is unusual and unpredictable. The cause usually attributed to pulmonary hemodynamic changes resulting from high negative intrathoracic pressures during obstructed respiration. incidence this problem not known. Why develops in only certain patients also unclear. We reviewed records 27 consecutive adult admitted treated for obstruction. Three (11%) developed edema. Age, sex, diagnosis, duration obstruction, history...
Abstract The identification of newly formed glial cells in the normal adult cerebral cortex is unresolved, since incorporating [H 3 ] thymidine has not been demonstrated by electron microscopy. In present study, this problem studied combining resolution microscope with radioautography 1‐μm sections. Four male rats were injected at 90 days age and allowed to survive for 30 days. Labeled found sections visual these rats, micrographs selected from same clearly two types labeled, astrocytes...
The transoral-transpharyngeal approach is a reliable and technically sound method for gaining anterior extradural exposure to the craniocervical junction. We report 23 patients undergoing this pathology lying between inferior clivus third cervical vertebra. Pathology included 6 with congenital malformations of odontoid process, 4 basilar invagination caused by rheumatoid arthritis, 2 atlantoaxial subluxation Down's syndrome, 1 each Chiari I malformation, pseudogout C1/C2, ossification...
The morbidity potentially associated with unverified penicillin allergy in pregnant women, and without group B streptococcus (GBS) infections, is unknown.

Abstract BPS provides unique opportunities for comparative studies to understand the mechanism(s) of beat perception and its translation into synchronous motor output. We argue that an evolutionary perspective this behavior will require a clearer dissociation between synchronization more parameterized approach studying behavior.
Therapeutic administration of indomethacin for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure has been documented to decrease cerebral blood flow velocity which may be harmful the vulnerable premature neonate. We have therefore compared effects administering by rapid injection versus slow, continuous infusion at same total therapeutic dose on middle artery (MCA) systolic and diastolic velocity, resistance index, (as reflected integrated area under curve).Premature neonates (< 1750 g)...
We performed this randomized trial to determine whether infants receiving skin-to-skin care (SSC) grew more rapidly and had a shorter duration of hospital stay compared with held by their parents in traditional way. Infants who met eligibility criteria (≤32 wk gestation, ≤1500 g, minimal ventilatory support, hemodynamically stable) were holding (TH) or SSC groups. Parents both groups allowed hold for total 8 hours per day (periods up 4 hr, twice/d). During the study, TH group 4.8 ± 3.5 times...
