BACKGROUND Coffee and tea are widely consumed globally and are rich sources of potential chemopreventive compounds. Epidemiologic data for coffee and tea intakes in relation to colorectal cancer remain unclear. Despite differences in gut physiology, few studies have conducted investigations by anatomic subsites. OBJECTIVE We evaluated coffee and tea intakes (caffeinated and decaffeinated) in ...

OBJECTIVE To describe the path of the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve (IBSN) using the medial joint line, anterior tibial tuberosity (ATT), tibial collateral ligament and a horizontal line parallel to the medial joint line that passes over the ATT, as reference points, in order to help surgeons to diminish the likelihood of injuring this nerve branch during reconstruction of the ant...

Research has demonstrated that sharing with others is rewarding, suggesting a proximal mechanism of humans' extraordinary tendency to engage in prosocial behavior. The current study explored the cognitive basis of the relation between generosity and happiness early in ontogeny. We demonstrate that preschool children understand the relation between generosity and happiness. Moreover, our results...

BACKGROUND Fruits and vegetables (F/V) have been examined extensively in nutrition research in relation to colorectal cancer (CRC). However, their protective effect is subject to debate, possibly because of different effects on different subsites of the large bowel. OBJECTIVE To determine whether any association between F/V consumption and risk of CRC differed by subsite of the bowel (proxima...

Purpose: To describe a case series of young adult patients with isolated chronic proximal biceps tendinitis refractory to conservative care found to have anatomic long head biceps tendon (LHBT) origin variations who underwent arthroscopic-assisted subpectoral biceps tenodesis. Methods: Patients were included in this retrospective case series if they met all the following criteria: 1) had ...

Plasminogen activator activity has been localized in gastric and duodenal tissue using a histological technique. This activity could be separated from proteolytic activity by incorporating in-aminocaproic acid into the fibrin substrate or by heat treatment. Plasminogen activator activity was found in relation to mucosal and submucosal blood vessels in the tissues studied. Proteolytic activity w...

BOSSERT, WILLIAM H., AND WILLIAM B. SCHWARTZ. Relation of pressure and flow to control of sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule. Am. J. Physiol. 2 13(s) : 793-802. I9670 -It is the purpose of this paper to present a theoretical analysis of the interrelationship between pressure and flow in the proximal tubule and to examine its implications for the control of proximal sodium reabsorption. ...

AIMS To evaluate the impact of total and proximal stomach emptying on 24 hour and postprandial reflux as well as the number of reflux episodes per hour in relation to the impact of lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) pressure, and oesophageal contractile and clearance function. METHODS Seventy one outpatients (37 female, 34 male; age 23-82 years) with symptoms suggestive of both delayed gastric...

In a recent paper, De Baets et al. have characterized the fuzzytolerance and fuzzy equivalence relations that a given strict order relation iscompatible with. In this paper, we generalize this characterization by consideringan arbitrary (crisp) relation instead of a strict order relation, while payingattention to the particular cases of a reflexive or irreflexive relation. The reasoninglargely ...

The relation between gastric emptying and the intragastric distribution of 300 ml radiolabelled beef consommé with and without 60 g margarine was investigated by performing randomised, paired gammacamera studies in seven healthy male volunteers (aged 20-22 years). The low calorie bland meal emptied rapidly from both the proximal and distal stomach after a short lag period (4-6 min), during whic...
