William Osler's 1892 textbook The Principles and Practice of Medicine became the dominant medical text in the English-speaking world. Osler was labeled a therapeutic nihilist by some. The topic of migraine, including treatment, was succinctly covered in his text. The objectives of this study were to review Osler's thoughts on migraine, and outline his therapeutic recommendations. Preventively O...

Inspiring a hyperoxic (H) gas permits subjects to exercise at higher power outputs while training, but there is controversy as to whether this improves skeletal muscle oxidative capacity, maximal O(2) consumption (Vo(2 max)), and endurance performance to a greater extent than training in normoxia (N). To determine whether the higher power output during H training leads to a greater increase in ...

Rats were immunized ( 1 ) with Jensen rat sarcoma tissue; ( 2 ) with emulsions of normal rat spleen; ( 3 ) with normal rat blood. Sera from rats of these three series were tested against ( a ) cultures of Jensen rat sarcoma cells; ( b ) cultures of normal spleen cells; (c) cultures of mouse carcinoma 63; ( d ) cultures of cells of normal mouse spleen. Jensen Rat Sarcoma Tissue as Antigen: Two s...

In a recent investigation on the cause of death of honeybee larvae it was observed (le Maistre, 1949) that cells of the honeycomb contained scale (thin, dried remnants of dead larvae) that was dry, powdery, and light brown in color, and therefore quite unlike scale resulting from European and American foulbrood diseases. Comb with this unusual scale was sent to Ottawa for further study. Microsc...

Since incidence of idiopathic calcium oxalate urolithiasis in children was very low, a study was made to analyze the risk factors of calcium oxalate stone in male volunteers without any episode of urolithiasis. They were divided into four groups, group I: eight years old, group II: 11 years old, group III: 18 to 24 years old, group IV: 41 to 45 years old. Inhibitory activities of urine were sig...

The purpose of this study was to directly assess sex differences in bone loss, bone biochemistry, and renal stone risk in bed rest. Bed rest simulates some spaceflight effects on human physiology and can be used to address the potential existence of sex-specific effects on bone metabolism and renal stone risk in space. We combined data from the control subjects in five head-down-tilt bed rest s...

Objectives. Considering the differences in location, socioeconomic background, and cultural background, the aim of this study was to try to identify possible factors associated with the increased incidence of urolithiasis by comparing American and Brazilian children with stones. Methods. Data of 222 American and 190 Brazilian children with urolithiasis were reviewed including age, gender, body ...

Urolithiasis is a condition that can cause significant morbidity among patients. Dietary manipulations traditionally advised include fluid, protein, oxalate, calcium, citrate, and sodium changes in the diet. Evidence-based practice guidelines suggest that there is not ample evidence to confidently recommend dietary changes, since inadequate studies have been done to quantify the risks of diet i...
