Controversy swirls around toilet-to-tap project.

Rings of controversy around benzene.

FLOW-CYTOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS of cell DNA content or narrow-angle light scatter (NLS) can provide a basis for discriminating neoplastic from non-neoplastic cells by identifying differences in DNA content and cell size. Flow-cytometric analyses of many human neoplasms have been previously reported (Barlogie et at., 977, 1978) showing aneuploidy in 80-90% of non-lymphoid solid tumours and 4060% of...

Tap, tap, tap to better patient documentation.

Dr. Greg Hinson is in the minority. He's among the meager 13 percent of physicians in solo practice who use electronic medical records, according to a recent Commonwealth Fund survey. But Hinson is comfortable being apart from the madding crowd. He knew electronic record keeping would be the ticket to efficiencies in his practice so he traded in his hodgepodge of inadequate record-keeping techn...

The Controversy around the Most Optimal Lead Anchoring Technique

We appreciate Dr Colvin’s thoughtful review and agree “that current anchoring devices suffer from unpredictable lead retention, possible lead fracture and discomfort due to being bulky.” As noted, our study was intended to analyze leads following maximal tension applied to suture loop anchors. The leads were subsequently examined under gross microscopy and tested for impedance changes. This was...

NEUROGENIC HYPERTENSION: REPORT OF FIVE CASES TO HIGHLIGHT THE CONTROVERSY

The entity of "neurogenic hypertension" is defined as arterial hypertension caused explicitly by derangement of the intricate network of the central nervous system. Among 193 cases of cranial rhizopathies operated on between 1984 and 1995 at this center, 5 cases of established arterial hypertension with concomitant rhizopathies also underwent ventrolateral medullary decompression. The elev...
