The effect of procyanidolic oligomers on vascular permeability. A study using quantitative morphology
Author Robert L, Godeau G, Gavignet-Jeannin C Date 6/1990 Journal Pathol Biol (Paris) Abstract In normal conditions vascular permeability is precisely regulated by mechanisms which involve among others the macromolecules of extracellular matrix of the vascular wall. Permeability for a given substance will vary according to the anatomical localisation of the vessel determining also its […]

Neurologic aspects of cobalamin deficiency.
Author Healton EB, Savage DG, Brust JC Date 7/1991 Journal Medicine (Baltimore) Abstract We reviewed 153 episodes of cobalamin deficiency involving the nervous system that occurred in 143 patients seen over a recent 17- year period at 2 New York City hospitals. Pernicious anemia was the most common underlying cause of the deficiency. Neurologic complaints, […]
Thyroid function and root resorption.
Author Poumpros E, Loberg E, Engstrom C. Date 1994 Journal Angle Orthod Abstract The regulation of degradative activity such as phagocytosis and bone resorption in the periodontal region is greatly influenced by factors controlling general bone modeling. The purpose of this study was to determine if thyroxine has any influence on the occurrence of force-induced […]
Susceptibility of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus to the essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia.
Author Carson CF, Cookson BD, Farrelly HD Date 3/1995 Journal J Antimicrob Chemother Abstract All 66 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus tested were susceptible to the essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia, or tea tree oil, in disc diffusion and modified broth microdilution methods.

An overview of the diagnosis and pharmacologic treatment of migraine.
Author Capobianco DJ, Cheshire WP, Campbell JK Date 11/1996 Journal Mayo Clin Proc Abstract Migraine, an episodic headache disorder, is one of the most common complaints encountered by primary-care physicians and neurologists. Nevertheless, it remains underdiagnosed and undertreated. Rational migraine treatment necessitates an accurate diagnosis, identification and removal of potential triggering factors, and, frequently, pharmacologic […]
Migraine: a pharmacologic review with newer options and delivery modalities.
Author Baumel B Date 5/1994 Journal Neurology Abstract The management of migraine usually centers on two approaches: preventive and abortive therapy. Preventive therapy, designed to reduce the frequency, duration, and intensity of attacks, can be accomplished through a wide variety of medications. The most commonly used are beta-blockers, but calcium channel blockers, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and […]
The activity of compounds extracted from feverfew on histamine release from rat mast cells.
Author Hayes NA, Foreman JC Date 6/1987 Journal J Pharm Pharmacol Abstract An extract of the plant feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) produces a dose-dependent inhibition of histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells stimulated with anti-IgE or the calcium ionophore A23187. Greater inhibition of anti-IgE-induced histamine release was achieved with feverfew compared with the inhibition of […]
Dietary influences of evening primrose and fish oil on the skin of essential fatty acid-deficient guinea pigs.
Author Chapkin RS, Ziboh VA, McCullough JL Date 8/1987 Journal J Nutr Abstract There have been reports that certain dietary lipids are capable of regulating cellular inflammation and hyperproliferation. To investigate further the role of dietary manipulation involving gamma- linolenic acid (18:3n-6) and eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3) on hyperproliferative cellular components, the effects of orally administered […]
Effects of sweetness perception and caloric value of a preload on short term intake.
Author Brala PM, Hagen RL Date 1/1983 Journal Physiol Behav Abstract To determine the effects of calories and sweetness perception on intake, fasted normal weight subjects drank a preload sweetened with sucrose (1.1 g/kg) or L-asparthyl-L-phenylalanyl-methyl ester (Aspartame, 0.011 g/kg), or with no added sweetener. Sweetness perception of the load was reduced in half of […]
