[We gladly avail ourselves of an opportunity afforded by the kindness of Mr. Turnbull of laying before our readers a translation of Salvatori's celebrated dissertation on Drunkenness?a dissertation little kuown in this country from the great scarcity and difficulty of access of the volume in which it originally appeared. This essay is of rare interest to the medical scholar, not only because in...

BACKGROUND The use of physical training in the treatment of intermittent claudication is well established. However, current data do not provide enough information about the prognosis for each case, and there are no data on how walking distances evolve over time with conservative treatment. The goal of this study was to evaluate improvement in walking capacity among patients with intermittent cl...

The arm-ankle systolic pressure gradient was measured in 165 male patients with intermittent claudication and was correlated with different combinations of known cardiovascular risk factors. The pressure gradient increased with increasing number of risk factors. We conclude that intermittent claudication may be used as a simple model for studies of arteriosclerosis, the arm-ankle systolic press...

background thermal injury is associated with several biochemical and histopathological alteration in tissue. analysis of these objective parameters in research and clinical field are common to determine healing rate of burn wound. negative pressure wound therapy has been achieved wide success in treating chronic wounds. this study determines superficial burn wound healing with intermittent nega...

This study tested the hypothesis that piglets subjected to intermittent suckling (IS) would show changes in physiological and behavioral indices indicative of compromised welfare in the peri-weaning period. A total of 21 primiparous sows and their litters were allocated to either a control treatment (n = 10) where piglets were weaned conventionally, or an IS treatment (n = 11) where piglets wer...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present paper is to assess the gait pattern of patients with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). A more specific aim is to compare the gait pattern of PAD patients before and after the appearance of intermittent claudication symptoms. METHODS The study involved 34 PAD patients with a claudication distance ≥200 m and 20 participants without PAD, who formed the control gr...
