25. Correlação entre parametros fisiologicos e função clinica nas anastomoses coloanais com e sem reservatorio
Sphincter-saving procedures for the treatment of carcinoma of the rectum have represented important progress in the maintenance of patient s life quality following complete proctectomy without significantly compromising its prognosis. The purpose of this study is to compare manual coloanal anastomosis with and without colonic pouch and evaluate functional re

26. An assessment of 24-hour ambulatory EEG/ECG monitoring in a neurology clinic.
The relative merits of 24-hour ambulatory EEG/ECG monitoring and routine EEG recording have been compared in a group of 62 patients attending a neurological clinic because of episodes of loss of consciousness. Overall, ambulatory EEG abnormalities were detected in 21 cases (34%) compared with 16 cases (26%) for routine EEG. Ambulatory EEG mainly improved the

27. The birth prevalence rates for the skeletal dysplasias.
This study was undertaken to establish the prevalence rates at birth of the skeletal dysplasias that can be recognised in the perinatal period. Using the data base of the Latin-American Collaborative Study of Congenital Malformations (ECLAMC), for the years 1978 to 1983, on 349 470 births (live and stillbirths), a crude prevalence rate of 2.3/10 000 was obse

28. Clinicopathological review of 1146 enucleations (1980-90).
The clinicopathological data of 1146 enucleated eyes obtained from 1146 patients (485 females and 661 males; mean age 57.4 (SD 21.6) years) between 1980 and 1990 were reviewed. The most common underlying diseases included trauma (37.4%), malignant tumours (19.6%), systemic diseases (diabetes, vascular diseases) (17.1%), surgical diseases (retinal detachment,

29. Prenatal findings in patients with prolonged QT interval in the neonatal period.
OBJECTIVE: To describe prenatal abnormalities of cardiac rhythm in patients with prolonged QT interval in the neonatal period. DESIGN: A retrospective analysis of the results of fetal echocardiography and the outcome in patients with prolonged QT interval in the neonatal period who had been referred for prenatal evaluation. SETTING: Two university hospitals.

30. MRI of pulmonary nodules: technique and diagnostic value
Chest wall invasion by a tumour and mediastinal masses are known to benefit from the superior soft tissue contrast of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, helical computed tomography (CT) (i.e. with multiple row detector systems) remains the modality of choice to detect and follow lesions of the lung parenchyma. Since minimizing radiation exposure play

31. Contribution of the 24 hour electrocardiogram to the prediction of sudden coronary death.
BACKGROUND--Sudden coronary death is a major public health issue. The identification of patients at high risk should therefore be as efficient as possible. This study compares simple and more elaborate risk stratification procedures. METHODS--Risk functions for the prediction of sudden death were determined in a population of 6693 consecutive patients who ha

32. Anatomical study of truncus arteriousus communis with embryological and surgical considerations.
Twelve specimens of truncus arteriosus communis have been studied anatomically, with special reference to the conal anatomy and to the associated cardiac anomalies which can create additional problems if surgical repair is planned. A wide spectrum of conal morphology has been observed, suggesting that differential conal absorption is a developmental characte

33. Molecular dissection of a contiguous gene syndrome: frequent submicroscopic deletions, evolutionarily conserved sequences, and a hypomethylated "island" in the Miller-Dieker chromosome region.
The Miller-Dieker syndrome (MDS), composed of characteristic facial abnormalities and a severe neuronal migration disorder affecting the cerebral cortex, is caused by visible or submicroscopic deletions of chromosome band 17p13. Twelve anonymous DNA markers were tested against a panel of somatic cell hybrids containing 17p deletions from seven MDS patients.

34. Comparison of BacT/Alert with Signal blood culture system.
The BacT/Alert (Organon Teknika Corp., Durham, N.C.) is an automated blood culture system. It is based on the detection of CO2 by means of a colorimetric sensor internally attached to the bottom of culture bottles. The aerobic and anaerobic media of this system were compared with one bottle of the Signal system (Oxoid Ltd., Hampshire, United Kingdom). At bed

35. Breast conservation for mammographically occult carcinoma.
OBJECTIVE: Preoperative mammography is an essential part of the evaluation of patient eligibility for breast conserving therapy. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: It is uncertain whether factors that contribute to the nonvisualization of carcinoma on mammograms are indications for mastectomy. The purpose of this study was to determine if the failure to identify clini

36. Indications for different modes of surgical therapy in medically refractory ventricular arrhythmias.
Fifty-one adult patients were referred for surgical treatment during the time period from July 1980 to November 1985. The average age was 59 +/- 6 years (19-70 years). All patients had symptomatic ventricular tachycardia that was refractory to standard or experimental drug therapy. On the basis of patient condition, site of arrhythmia, ventricular function,
