The standard nuclear medicine textbooks describe the pyramidal lobe of the thyroid as arising from the upper part of the thyroid lobes. Anatomy and surgical texts however describe it as a thyroglossal tract remnant and state that it arises from the isthmus. Review of 150 thyroid scintigrams confirms that on ...

We examined the use of protective clothing to reduce a retarded male's face-punching and leg-kicking and two corresponding forms of self-restraint--arm and leg self-restraint. The resident was observed each day in three sessions of randomly ordered conditions (one condition per session): without any protective clothing, with a padded helmet, and ...

Record-keeping is part of the proper practice of anaesthesia and a record should be able to be quickly and easily completed. Two types of information need to be recorded: clinical, for use both immediately or subsequently and epidemiological, for detailed study of a large number of anaesthetics. A design which ...

The antennal hygro- and thermoreceptive sensillum (sensillum capitulum) of the cockroach, Periplaneta americana, has been identified electrophysiologically and examined by scanning electron microscopy. It appears basiconic and has a characteristic cuticular apparatus; a mushroom-shaped inner stem and a non-perforated outer wall. The head of the inner stem, which is a ...

The epididymis of ratitae is subdivided into a main part and a appendix epididymidis. The appendix epididymidis consists of the ductus aberrans and ductuli aberrantes. The ductus aberrans is the cranial continuation of the ductus epididymidis. The appendix epididymidis is cranially attached to the adrenal gland. In the main part ...

Microtia encompasses a diverse variety of derformities whose correction must be considered individually. In part I, the classic form of microtia is described. In this article, an overview of complex microtic problems is presented and various techniques to facilitate their management are proposed.

When local industrial relations are, in the eyes of NHS managers, like walking on eggshells, it is perhaps understandable that an AHA should have decreed to keep an important inquiry report hush-hush. So that managers elsewhere may know what went wrong and what to watch out for on their own ...

This paper discusses the management of multisystemic sequelae of perinatal asphyxia. Appropriate intrapartum and subsequent adequate neonatal monitoring are an absolute necessity for the early detection of systemic dysfunctions. Prophylactic and therapeutic measures applicable to the various organ malfunctions are described.

Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, is described in Atharva Veda and in subsequent treatises by Charak, Susrut, and Vagbhatt, containing the details of etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, and therapy of afflictions in humans and animals. The science of mental disorders (Bhoot-Vidya) describes extensively conditions from mild anger and greed ...

Urticaria is not by any means the most serious clinical problem with which the physician must deal but it is certainly the most tedious and capricious. Its management therefore calls for patience on the part of both the patient and the physician and for a plan of management that is ...

In the preceding papers, we showed that one of the two complementar factors of polypeptide chain elongation factor 1 (EF-1) from pig liver, EF-1alpha, functionally corresponds to bacterial EF-Tu (Nagata, S., Iwasaki, K., and Kaziro, Y. (1976) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 172, 168), while the other, EF-1betagamma, as well as one ...

A résumé of the investigation of gastric emptying time in labour is presented with the results obtained recently in a series when the effects of narcotic analgesics, epidural analgesia, no analgesia and antagonistic drugs were studied. It is deduced that narcotic analgesics play a very large part in gastric delay ...

The theory and practice of sharpening with particular emphasis upon dental scalers and periodontal curettes have been discussed in Part I of this series. Various cutting modes and edge characteristics are described together with the special requirements they present in sharpening. Different approaches to sharpening are examined. Stressed are the ...

This is the third part of an article on the distribution of power and the nature of the state in Western industrialized societies and their implications in medicine. Parts I and II were published in the preceding issue of this Journal. Part I presented a critique of contemporary theories of ...

In this paper I attempt to elucidate and render intelligible to a non-Western reader the internal logic and the consistency in both theory and practice of Ayurvedic psychological medicine. In Part 1, I deal with the classical metaphysical base (Samkya philosophy) on which the Ayurvedic concept of mind rests. I ...

This three-part article presents an analysis of the distribution of power and of the nature of the state in Western industrialized societies, and details their implications in medicine. Part I presents a critique of contemporary theories of the Western system of power; discusses the countervailing pluralist and power elite theories, ...

An example of junctional premature beats with concealed conduction has been presented. The arrhythmia mimics Mobitz Type II second-degree A-V block. Awareness of this arrhythmia when added to the fact that Mobitz Type II block is rarely seen with IWMI will prevent an improper or hasty diagnosis. Cardiac arrhythmias should ...

The elongation of Types II and III gold alloys ranges from 20 to 35 per cent. It has therefore been proposed that a nonbeveled margin could be "pulled" (elongation) to close the margin. However, in clinical practice, it is difficult to pull gold over an unsupported space to close the ...

The distinction between primary and secondary syndactyly is made on the basis of their relation to the morphogenesis. The latter is associated with antecedent malformation which results in subsequent refusion of parts. Based on these considerations, a practical classification is suggested. The management of the various types of malformations is ...

This three part article presents an anlysis of the distribution of power and of the nature of the state in Western industrialized societies and details their implications in medicine. Part I presents a critique of contemporary theories of the Western system of power; discusses the countervailing pluralist and power elite ...

The Encyclopedia of Southern Bioenergy is part of the Forest Encyclopedia Network and contains a collection of knowledge on bioenergy and bio-based products from Southern forest ecosystems. It is divided into seven sub-sections: understanding bioenergy resources; the southern bioenergy resource; forest management; harvesting; utilization; economics and environmental sustainability. This resource ...

The Encyclopedia of Southern Appalachian Forest Ecosystems is part of the Forest Encyclopedia Network, providing information on the ecology and management of southern Appalachian forest ecosystems. It includes sections on landscape, resource management, ecology, forest health and social science. This resource includes many colour pictures and diagrams.

"Dr. Shotton delivered five lectures on fisheries management in relation to his visit to the UNU/FTP. The lectures form a five-part series. An introduction/forword to the lectures can be found on the follwoing website: http://www.unuftp.is/v_guest_s.htm"

This two-part article, the fourth in a series on pain, explores the four main divisions of pharmacology: pharmacodynamics--what the medicine does to the body; pharmacokinetics--what the body does to the medicine; pharmacoeconomics--the cost and benefit ratio compared to other treatments; and pharmacovigilance--a medicine's safety profile. Part two, which will published ...

This is the second of a two-part unit on the use of emergency oxygen in adults. Part 1 outlined the main recommendations of the recently published British Thoracic Society guidance. It also examined managing breathlessness in non-hypoxaemic patients. This part discusses some potential changes to clinical practice and provides practical ...
