(Frontiers Media, #VALUE!)Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) introduced the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) as a scientific method of disability data collection comprised of >1,200 categories ... -
The relationship between cleavage, DNA replication, and gene expression in the mouse 2-cell embryo.
(Development, 1984-02)The 2-cell stage of mouse embryogenesis is characterized by two phases of alpha-amanitin-sensitive polypeptide synthetic activity, which appear to mark the first major expression of the embryonic genome, as assessed by ... -
Prediction of hypoxaemia at high altitude in children with cystic fibrosis.
(BMJ, 1994-01-01)To assess the usefulness of a hypoxic challenge in a laboratory at sea level in predicting acute desaturation at altitude in children with lung disease. -

Colonic stricture in a boy with cystic fibrosis.
(BMJ, 1995-05)Many problems may arise within the gastrointestinal tract of patients with cystic fibrosis. We report a new cause of subacute intestinal obstruction due to a fibrotic stricture of the ascending colon in a child with cystic ... -

Immunohistochemical detection of p53 and c-erbB-2 in oesophageal carcinoma; no correlation with prognosis
(Elsevier, 1997-02-01)TNM staging of oesophageal cancer provides significant prognostic information but its clinical impact is limited as many patients present with advanced disease (i.e. T3N1). Additional prognostic markers may help separate ... -
A comparative study of treadmill tests and heel raising exercise for peripheral arterial disease
(Elsevier, 1997-03-01)OBJECTIVES: This two part study validated a 1 min treadmill exercise test and compared this with simple heel raising exercise. METHODS: In an initial study of 24 claudicants (aged 43-79, median 63 years), ankle pressures ... -
Validation of current practice and a near patient testing method for oral-anticoagulant control in general practice
(Sage, 1997-12-01)When oral anticoagulant control is monitored in general practice, venous blood samples are usually transported to a central laboratory for determination of international normalized ratio (INR). An alternative is near patient ... -
Sudden death associated with group A streptococcal infection in an 8-year-old girl with undiagnosed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Transport and temperature effects on measurement of serum and plasma potassium
(Sage, 1999-07-01)Transport of blood samples from general practice to a central laboratory can result in spuriously high or low potassium concentrations. The importance of this phenomenon was studied in a general practice serving a population ... -
