Bilateral infusions of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) into the lateral hypothalamus (LH) produce gastric erosions in rats. The present study attempted to determine the neural pathways that mediate this effect. In order to interrupt axonal transmission, knife cuts (KC) were made in different planes adjacent to the LH. In separate groups of rats, KC were made anterior, posterior or lateral to the LH...

BACKGROUND Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are both destructive arthritides but may differ substantially in their periarticular bone changes. OBJECTIVES To investigate the differences in the structural changes of periarticular bone in patients with PsA and RA by a high-resolution imaging technique designed to visualise the bone architecture. METHODS 30 patients with ...

Defects in the superior margin of ribs, of an erosive nature, appear to be uncommon, the chief causes being poliomyelitis (Bernstein, Loeser, and Manning, 1958), hyperparathyroidism (Noetzli and Steinbach, 1962), rheumatoid arthritis (Alpert and Feldman, 1964), scleroderma (Keats, 1967); other rarer causes have been summarized by Boone, Swenson, and Felson (1964), Gayler and Donner (1967), and ...

The incidence of erosive arthropathy of the sternoclavicular joints in 25 consecutive cases of polymyalgia rheumatica was studied by means of sternoclavicular tomography. Definite erosions were found in 11 patients. Erosions were most likely to be found in patients whose symptoms had been present for more than 6 months.

A flume study was conducted using a soil, yard waste compost, and an erosion control compost to investigate the response to concentrated flow and determine if the shear stress model could be used to describe the response. Yard waste compost (YWC) and the bare Cecil soil (CS) control responded to concentrated laboratory runoff similarly in rill formation, and the shear stress model was useful in...

The higher rate of slope erosion in the Himalayan basins is contributing to rapid change landform mountainous terrain, which has caused sedimentation, and inundation downstream. Tamakoshi basin a trans-boundary river that originates from Tibet flows through Dolakha Ramechap districts before joining Sapta Koshi river. Few studies exist Nepal attempting quantify susceptibility. However, they are ...
