Since Ansell, Crook, Mallard, and Bywaters (1963) and Makin and Robin (1964) initiated the method, the use of radioactive colloids in the treatment of chronic synovitis has become routine. The destruction of the inflammatory synovium, called synoviorthese or synoviolysis, is based on the irradiation of the serosa by colloidal particles, removed from the suspension injected into the articular ca...

This chapter highlights important aspects concerning surgical indications and preoperative preparation related to surgical management of otitis media in children. The concept of chronic otitis media (COM) has been widely discussed (Chart 1). Some authors advocate that the definition of chronicity should be related to the histopathological changes that occur in the recovering mucosa of the middl...

OBJECTIVE This paper presents the results of a clinical study assessing the in vivo effects on plaque metabolism of a new dentifrice containing 1.5% arginine, an insoluble calcium compound, and 1450 ppm fluoride compared to a commercially available dentifrice containing 1450 ppm fluoride alone. METHODS A four-week, parallel, randomized, double-blind clinical study using 54 subjects was conduc...

Irradiation of the synovium for the treatment of chronic knee effusions associated with rheumatoid arthritis and allied conditions is being increasingly used as an alternative to surgical synovectomy. Intraarticular injections of a colloidal solution of radioactive gold (19"8Au) has been tried with some success (Ansell, Crook, Mallard, and Bywaters, 1963; Virkkunen, Krusius, and Heiskanen, 1967...

The present study examined the mechanism(s) of tolerance induction for intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (ilELs) using an alloantigen (Ag)-specific "y//t T cell receptor (TCR 3'//~) transgenic (Tg) model. In Tg Ag-bearing H-2 bid mice (Tgb/a), Tg ilELs were Thy-l, CD44 +, CD45R (B220) +, and CD5 +, whereas in syngeneic Tg a/d mice, ilELs were Thy-1 +, CD44-, and CD45Rwith a subset of CD5 +...

The present study examined the mechanism(s) of tolerance induction for intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (iIELs) using an alloantigen (Ag)-specific gamma/delta T cell receptor (TCR gamma/delta) transgenic (Tg) model. In Tg Ag-bearing H-2b/d mice (Tgb/d), Tg iIELs were Thy-1-, CD44+, CD45R (B220)+, and CD5+, whereas in syngeneic Tgd/d mice, iIELs were Thy-1+, CD44-, and CD45R- with a subset...

Cluster analysis is used to produce a small number of job contours more homogeneous in job quality than standard occupation and industry groups. The results indicate a six-contour job structure that is consistent with dual and tripartite labor market segmentation frameworks. This classification scheme is used to examine the effects of employment restructuring in the 1980's by race and gender. W...

I am Dr. Harvey Bluestone, Professor of Psychiatry at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Director of Psychiatry at Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center, a major training affiliate of the medical school. I would like to welcome everyone to the debate on “Should Clinical Training in Long-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Be Mandatory in Residency Training?” The crowded room in the face of exciti...
