    The value of ultrasound for monitoring ovarian responses to gonadotrophin stimulant therapy (1982)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    BJOG 89 (1982), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1471-0528
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary. Ultrasonic measurement of ovarian follicles was used in conjunction with conventional measurement of urinary oestrogen output to monitor responses in infertile women receiving gonadotrophin stimulant therapy. In the 21 women who conceived during the first 15 months, in which this combined monitoring was used, ultrasound proved superior to oestrogen measurement alone for assessing follicular maturity and hence deciding when to administer the ovulating dose of chorionic gonadotrophin. The use of ultrasound imaging improves efficiency of treatment with gonatodrophin stimulant therapy, but is not predictive of multiple pregnancy or of hyperstimulation.

    Colohepatic fistula due to hydatid disease (1983)

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La fistulisation d'un kyste hydatique dans le colon n'a pas été décrite jusqu'à maintenant alors que la rupture du parasite géant dans la cavité péritonéale dans l'artère biliaire ou dans le poumon par l'intermédiaire du diaphragme est bien connue. Dans le cas rapporté le lavement baryté a montré à posteriori, après l'intervention une image plaidant en faveur d'une fistule colo-hépatique qui fut méconnue (fig 2). La présence d'une grande quantité de gaz dans la cavité kystique suggère son origine colique plutôt que sa formation in situ du fait de l'infection. L'extériorisation du colon après suture de la brèche colique a été jugée plus adéquate que la colostomie d'amont et que la réintégration immédiate de l'anse colique dans la cavité abdominale en raison des risques de contamination septique. Cette attitude se solda par un bon résultat. Si le traitement du kyste hydatique par les moyens médicaux est susceptible d'entrainer la guérison dans le futur, la chirurgie restera indispensable pour toutes les complications: fistule, infection, obstruction biliaire et rupture.
    Abstract: Resumen Se informa el caso de un paciente originario de Yemen, pero residente en el Reino Unido durante 30 años, quien se presentó con un cuadro febril (38.5°C), hígado doloroso y aumentado de tamaño y una gran cavidad con nivel aero-líquido en el cuadrante superior del abdomen, la cual probó ser un quiste hidático del lóbulo derecho del hígado. El quiste fue aspirado, inyectado con nitrato de plata al 5% y luego abierto para extraer los quistes filiales y las membranas germinativas, después de lo cual se presentó fistulización al colon que requirió exteriorización del segmento afectado. Aun cuando el tratamiento primario de la enfermedad hidatídica pronto habrá de ser médico, la cirugía todavía será requerida para complicaciones tales como fístula, infección, obstrucción biliar o ruptura.
    Notes: Abstract Communication of a hepatic hydatid cyst to the colon appears to be extremely rare. We report a 54-year-old male who underwent surgery for a huge hydatid cyst. Four days after the cyst was aspirated and many daughter cysts were removed, gross fecal contamination occurred as a result of a 0.5-cm defect in the right transverse colon. The defect was repaired and the colon temporarily exteriorized. Recovery was uneventful.

    Altered thiol status in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (1982)
    Springer
    Rheumatology international 2 (1982), S. 107-111 
    Details
    ISSN: 1437-160X
    Keywords: Thiol ; Rheumatoid arthritis ; Sulphydryl ; Thiol reactivity ; Glutathione
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary The thiol status of patients with rheumatoid arthritis is significantly different from that of controls. Plasma thiol levels are lower, albumin thiol reactivity is altered and intracellular thiol levels measured after hemoglobin precipitation are increased. These variations correlate with other indices of disease severity and are one measure of a disturbance in the degree of oxidation of the blood. Penicillamine, in common with other effective therapeutic agents, produces an increase in serum thiol concentration. It causes a greater effect on serum thiol reactivity than other drugs and in particular it increases ‘fast reacting’ thiol levels without significantly altering the ‘slow reacting’ thiol level.

    Influence of leaf size, orientation, and arrangement on temperature and transpiration in three high-elevation, large-leafed herbs (1982)
    Springer
    Oecologia 53 (1982), S. 227-234 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1939
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary The temperature and water relations of the largleafed, high-elevation species Frasera speciosa, Balsamorhiza sagittata, and Rumex densiflorus were evaluated in the Medicine Bow Mountains of southeast Wyoming (USA) to determine the influence of leaf size, orientation, and arrangement on transpiration. These species characteristically have low minimum stomatal resistances (〈60 s m-1) and high maximum transpiration rates (〉260 mg m-2s-1 for F. speciosa). Field measurements of leaf and microclimatic parameters were incorporated into a computer simulation using standard energy balance equations which predicted leaf temperature (T leaf) and transpiration for various leaf sizes. Whole-plant transpiration during a day was simulated using field measurements for plants with natural leaf sizes and compared to transpiration rates simulated for plants having identical, but hypothetically smaller (0.5 cm) leaves during a clear day and a typically cloudy day. Although clear-day transpiration for F. speciosa plants with natural size leaves was only 2.0% less per unit leaf area than that predicted for plants with much smaller leaves, daily transpiration of B. sagittata and R. densiflorus plants with natural leaf sizes was 16.1% and 21.1% less, respectively. The predicted influence of a larger leaf size on transpiration for the cloudy day was similar to clear-day results except that F. speciosa had much greater decreases in transpiration (12.7%). The different influences of leaf size on transpiration between the three species was primarily due to major differences in leaf absorptance to solar radiation, orientation, and arrangement which caused large differences in T leaf. Also, simulated increases in leaf size above natural sizes measured in the field resulted in only small additional decreases in predicted transpiration, indicating a leaf size that was nearly optimal for reducing transpiration. These results are discussed in terms of the possible evolution of a larger leaf size in combination with specific leaf absorptances, orientations and arrangements which could act to reduce transpiration for species growing in short-season habitats where the requirement for rapid carbon fixation might necessitate low stomatal resistances.
