This study evaluated the efficacy and long-term effectiveness of intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP) in the treatment of patients with DSM-IV personality disorders (PD). Twenty-seven patients with PD were randomized to treatment with ISTDP or a minimal-contact, delayed-treatment control condition. ISTDP-treated patients improved significantly more than controls on all primary out...

We conducted a prospective randomised controlled trial of 137 patients with massive peptic ulcer haemorrhage over a period of 12 months to compare the haemostatic effects of endoscopic heat probe thermocoagulation and pure alcohol injection. Seventy eight patients (56 9%) were in shock at the time ofrandomisation to the trial. The age, sex, number of patients in shock, haemoglobin value at the ...

Objectives. To investigate associations between muscle strength and pain sensitivity among healthy volunteers and associations between different pain sensitivity measures. Methods. Twenty-eight healthy volunteers (21 females) participated. Pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) were obtained from 1) computer-controlled pressure algometry on the vastus lateralis and deltoid muscles and on the infrapate...

BACKGROUND The management of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) has been transformed by the introduction of agents delivered by intravitreal injection which block the action of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (anti-VEGF agents). One such agent in widespread use is bevacizumab which was initially developed for use in oncology. Most of the evidence supporting the use of beva...

A preliminary study into the use of Vicryl in cataract and squint surgery has already been published (Munton, Phillips, Martin, Bartholomew, and Capperauld, I974). The safety and efficacy of the material were confirmned and it was concluded that the overall handling characteristics of monofilament Vicryl 8-o (dyed purple) were superior to monofilament nylon and equal to virgin silk. The sutures...

FABRY DISEASE IS A RARE X-LINKED recessive glycosphingolipid storage disorder that is caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme a-gal A (a-galactosidase A). Its incidence has been estimated to be 1:117 000 births. Globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), the glycosphingolipid substrate of this enzyme, accumulates within vulnerable cells, tissues, and organs of affected patients. Affected cell types in...
