m e t h o d s : This review discusses the pharmacologic activity and poten­ tial effectiveness of lithium in the context of Alzheimer disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), the 2 most prominent neurodegenerative dis­ orders in the United States. The toxicides of lithium, including lithiuminduced extrapyramidal symptoms (LL-EPS) and cognitive impairments at therapeutic blood levels, are disc...

The caudalmost section of the cartilaginous nasal septum performs the important function of supporting the middle and lower third of the nose. Its absence leads inevitably to deformation of the nasal pyramid and collapse of the internal nasal valve. The most frequent causes of its loss are iatrogenic and traumatic, and the mucoperichondrial lining remains intact in most cases. A graft of concha...

With the improved results of both intestinal and pancreas transplantation with tacrolimus-based immunosuppression.I-1> there has been a commensurately increased demand for these procedures. However. it has been suggested that both organs cannot be obtained from the same cadaveric donor. particularly if the liver also is to be transplanted. The argument has been that because the three organs sha...

AACP.com Annals of Clinical Psychiatry | Vol. 25 No. 2 | May 2013 153 Cocaine abuse epidemics come and go. Some of us remember the cocaine epidemic of the 1980s that peaked in 1985 and produced an estimated 2.5 million lifetime stimulant abusers (p 3). Some may assume cocaine abuse was a big problem but hopefully isn’t big anymore. Unfortunately, it still is, and we are facing yet another epide...

When the Annals of the History of Computing was first established 25 years ago, it assumed for itself an ambitious agenda: by publishing " scholarly papers and anec-dotal notes, rigorously researched material and controversial remembrances, " it would serve as a " living history " of the computer revolution's unprecedented scientific and technological accomplishments. If in practice, its contri...

Results There were 1390 negative crossmatch and 130 positive crossmatch cases. There was no difference in overall graft survival, although early survival rates were lower in the positive crossmatch group, with the maximum difference at 6 months: 0.76 (95% confidence interval, 0.74-0.78) for a negative crossmatch versus 0.68 (95% confidence interval, 0.61-0.77) for a positive crossmatch. These d...

Methods Data were collected from 17 patients between days 2 and 14 to determine incidence of exudate, incidence of regrafting, coloration, keratinization, and percentage of site covered by graft (n = 17). Outcome was evaluated on an ordinal scale (0 = worst; 10 = best) beginning at day 14, with primary analyses at 28 days (n = 10) and 1 year (n = 4) for erythema, pigmentation, epithelial bliste...

(To appear) Brownian Sheet and Capacity By Davar Khoshnevisan* and Zhan Shi University of Utah & Universit e Paris VI Summary. The main goal of this paper is to present an explicit capacity estimate for hitting probabilities of the Brownian sheet. As applications, we determine the escape rates of the Brownian sheet, and also obtain a local intersection equivalence between the Brownian sheet and...
