Radioisotope studies of rheumatoid knees before and after synovectomy.

Arthrography of the knee before and after synovectomy for rheumatoid arthritis.

Radiographic demonstration of the internal structures of the knee is not new, having been first described by Werndroff and Robinson (1905). it was not, however, until much later that more detailed papers on arthrography were published (Boyd 1934: Bircher and Oberholzer 1934: Simon, Hamilton and Farrington 1936: Quaintance 1938). Most papers describe its use in the diagnosis of ligamentous injur...

Synovectomy for rheumatoid arthritis.

postnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)

1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...

Synovectomy of the elbow in rheumatoid arthritis.

Twenty-five synovectomies of the elbow were performed in twenty-one patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and the patients were followed for two to eleven years. All patients had an advanced stage of the disease, with disintegration of cartilage and severe erosions of bone. The operations were performed by the same surgeon using the same technique. Follow-up studies revealed various degrees of im...
