This article discusses the use of growth hormone (GH) for small normal children ("idiopathic" short stature) with the following considerations: ethical (philosophical) grounds, cost-economic implications, and the rationale for treating
Abstract:
This paper argues against the use of growth hormone (GH) for small normal children ("idiopathic" short stature) with the following considerations: ethical (philosophical) grounds, cost-economic implications, and the rationale for treating normal physiological variation with a potent pharmacological agent. The author would prefer to see health and economic resources being more...

This study examined "Dorgan's" percutaneous lateral cross-wiring of supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children
Abstract:
The preferred treatment of displaced supracondylar humeral fractures in children is closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. Cross-wiring techniques are biomechanically superior to parallel lateral wiring techniques. The purpose of this study was to review the authors' experience with a novel cross-wiring technique performed entirely from the lateral side. Twenty children with more...

This study examined patients with phaeochromocytoma
Abstract:
Thirty three patients with phaeochromocytomas had surgery in St. Vincent's Hospital between 1950 and 1997. 32 patients had hypertension, 32 had palpitations and 30 had excessive sweating. All patients had at least one of these cardinal symptoms. Diagnostic tests changed over this period. In the early cases the phentolamine test was used, later diagnosis was confirmed by measurement of more...

This study aimed to identify an effective extraction procedure for three pulpal neuropeptides; substance P, neurokinin A and calcitonin gene-related peptide.
Abstract:
Measuring neuropeptides in biological tissues by radioimmunoassay requires efficient extraction that maintains their immunoreactivity. Many different methods for extraction have been described, but there is little information on optimal extraction methods for individual neuropeptides from human dental pulp tissue. The aim was therefore to identify an effective extraction procedure for more...

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that bone cells respond differently to 0.6 Pa fluid shear stress and 1,000 mu(epsilon) substrate strain stimulation because of qualitative and quantitative differences in cellular deformation
Abstract:
Bone undergoes continuous remodeling in response to mechanical loading. However, the underlying mechanisms by which bone cells respond to their changing mechanical environment, that is, strain in the load-bearing matrix or fluid flow through the canalicular network, are not well understood. It has been established in vitro that bone cells respond differently to substrate strain and more...
