Experimental study on the electrical impedance of bone and the effect of direct current on the healing of fractures.
An experimental study of the electrical impedance of cortical bone and medullary cavity and on the effect of a D.C. or a periodically interrupted D.C. on the healing of fractures in rabbits, suggests that the bone behaves as a capacitance of about 20 muF in parallel with a high D.C. resistance. Also a 10 muA periodically interrupted D.C. current stimulates osteogenesis.

Nursing care costs for a DRG sub-group.
This study determined the average cost of nursing care for two DRGs and evaluated how a specific nursing intervention, Phase I Cardiac Rehabilitation, impacts on these costs. A unit-based methodology to determine the cost of providing nursing care to patients who stay on more than one nursing care unit during their hospital stay will facilitate decision making by nurse administrators and clinicians to contain rising health care costs.
Predictive value of biological markers in etiopathogenesis of juvenile diabetes--reviewing the role of insulin antibodies.
The lack of complete concordance for diseases in monozygotic twins prevents application of genetic markers for a thorough identification of the subjects who will develop the type I diabetes. Furthermore, the impact of the environmental factors precipitating beta cells destruction in genetically sensitive subjects has not been completely enlightened yet. The identification of high risk markers for the development of diabetes is aimed at detection of the early immune response activation markers. Islet cell antibodies are the most valuable markers, whose presence can be discovered even up to 7-8 years prior to the onset of symptoms. They are found in 50-80% of the newly discovered insulin-dependent diabetics. Their prevalence in the general population is 0.5-2%. These are commonly concomitant with insulin antibodies, found in 20-40% of the newly discovered diabetics, as reported in the literature. In our circumstances it was possible to determine the insulin antibodies only. We have concluded that they appear in 13.6% of children with a newly discovered diabetes, presenting a significant marker for predicting the course of the disease.
