Neurocysticercosis causes significant morbidity associated with acute seizures, chronic epilepsy, and hydrocephalus.We retrospectively identified patients with definitive or probable neurocysticercosis seen at Ben Taub General Hospital, the lar...

Peak expiratory flow rates were measured in 124 normal elderly men (55-85 yr) using the Wright's peak flow meter. In the less than 60 yrs age group (n = 32; mean age 57.7 yr) the PEFR was 431 +/- 13 lpm, while for the group greater than 60 yr (mean age 69.0 +/- 6.0; n = 92), the PEFR value was 373 +/- 11 1pm. These values are similar to those reported in other Indian studies, suggesting that th...
