The biocompatibility of compressed collagen foam plugs.

The tissue reaction to reexpanded, purified bovine collagen sponge placed percutaneously into the lung, pleural space, liver, kidney, and muscle was studied in dogs and rabbits. In addition, the biocompatibility and radiopacity of tantalum-treated collagen foam plugs was examined. No adverse effects were found. We believe that collagen plugs may be of use in occluding needle tracts from biopsy sites to prevent complications such as bleeding or pneumothoraces.

A stepless needle-dilator for expedient percutaneous catheterization: technical note.

A new stepless needle-dilator is described which allows arterial puncture and dilation in a single step using a single wall puncture technique. The new needle-dilator causes significantly less arterial damage than a conventional dilator (p less than 0.05). Additionally, time and cost savings are realized by clinical users.

Volume growth rate of acoustic neuromas on MRI post-stereotactic radiosurgery.

Of the approximately 160 acoustic neuroma patients treated with stereotactic radiosurgery in the world up to 1987, 8 patients at UCLA Medical Center have had two or more magnetic resonance scans at least one year apart available for study (all 8 patients were treated with stereotactic radiosurgery for acoustic neuromas by the Department of Neurosurgery at the Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden). The followup time after radiosurgery ranged from 4 to 8 years. The volume doubling rate post-stereotactic radiosurgery was calculated to be slow (763 to 888 days) in two patients, virtually arrested in five patients (doubling times larger than 2500 days) and negative (-563 days) in one patient indicating a shrinking tumor. Due to the limited sample size no radiological finding or clinical data correlated with the volume doubling times. A control patient that had no treatment for her tumor had a doubling time of 217 days for comparison.

Women's health problems in soap operas: a content analysis.

A content analysis of women's health problems in network daytime serials is reported. Results indicate a preponderance of such problems as substance abuse, falls resulting in death or injury, comas or unconsciousness, mental health concerns (most notably represented by amnesia and multiple personality), concerns about AIDS, automobile accidents, being drugged, fainting, pregnancy problems, and violent acts resulting in harm. Such concerns as breast and cervical cancer and heart disease are less frequently portrayed.
