The presence of abnormalities in fibromyalgia muscle using current methodological approaches is well established. The more serious abnormalities are demonstrated by histologic studies particularly on electron microscopy: disorganisation of Z bands and abnormalities in the number and shape of mitochondria. Biochemical studies and P 31 ...

Background: Rarefaction of skin capillaries in people with intermittent borderline essential hypertension suggests a primary or an early abnormality that may antedate the onset of sustained hypertension.Objective: To compare skin capillary density in subjects with and without a family history of essential hypertension.Subjects: 21 ...

The paper describes a digital computer program that will calculate the alveolar and capillary blood gas compositions corresponding to any given set of Va/Q values. The program is applicable to subjects having abnormal hemoglobin concentrations or base exc...

The causes of perifascicular myofiber atrophy and capillary pathology in dermatomyositis are incompletely understood. We studied 11 dermatomyositis muscles by histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and ultrastructure. We found that endomysial capillaries within regions of perifascicular atrophy are not entirely lost, but they have reduced size, endothelial ...

Photomicrographs were taken of front line nailfold capillary loops in 18 healthy women (controls) and 42 women with established connective tissue disease (14 rheumatoid arthritis, 19 systemic lupus erythematosus, nine scleroderma). Measurements were made of apex width, maximum limb and loop widths, capillary length, interpeak distance, and frequency per ...

Food-storing birds maintain in memory a large and constantly changing catalog of the locations of stored food. The hippocampus of food-storing black-capped chickadees (Parus atricapillus) is proportionally larger than that of nonstoring dark-eyed juncos (Junco hyemalis). Chickadees perform better than do juncos in an operant test of spatial non-matching-to-sample (SNMTS), and ...

The capillary on "desert roses", gypsum, and barite rosettes formed in arid environments that sometimes trap sand grains (e.g. [Prunty and Casey, 2002] and [Cornelis et al., 2005]). The present paper uses the same soils

An electron microscopic investigation was made in order to study capillary alterations in the muscle paraneoplastic phenomenon associated with different malignant tumours. Several abnormalities were found including basement membrane widening and lamination, endothelial hypertrophy, a varied degree of lumen occlusion, and proliferative changes in pericytes. ...

Macrocephaly-capillary malformation (M-CM) is characterized by prenatal overgrowth, variable somatic and cerebral asymmetry, primary megalencephaly, characteristic facial features, an abnormal neurocognitive profile and cutaneous vascular malformations. It was previously known under the name macrocephaly-cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenital (M-CMTC). ...

Studies were undertaken to standardize a technique for quantitative measurement of the bleeding tendency associated with thrombocytopenia in irradiated animals and to evaluate the hemostatic activity of a number of compounds in thrombocytopenic animals using this technic. Thrombocytopenia was induced by exposure of rats to Co/sup 60/ gamma radiation. Bleeding time (BT), measured by ...

Separating the load into storable and nonstorable components, this paper examines the pricing and welfare implications of storage in a utility-supply system. The introduction of storage can lead to a firm or a shifting peak condition. For the shifting peak, the application of storage to a uniform subload produces a welfare gain, but one that is realized by the users of the ...

Morphological abnormalities of the cortical microvessels have been reported in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but not in Binswanger's disease (BD), a form of vascular dementia. Therefore, we compared the capillary beds in AD and BD brains, using a modified Gallyas silver impregnation method and immunohistochemistry for beta amyloid. Eight autopsied brains with ...

Primary hepatic capillary hemangioma in adults is very rare. Here, we report a case of hepatic capillary hemangioma in a 71-year-old woman. She had abnormal liver function tests, and abdominal sonography revealed a 2-cm nodular lesion and fatty liver. Computed tomography scan revealed a hypervascular tumor. During 2 years' follow-up, ...

The increase of the peripheral blood flow resistance level is the major hemodynamic parameter in pathophysiology of essential hypertension (HT). The functional and morphological abnormalities of the microcirculation in the early stage, sometimes before the increase of the blood pressure, are intensely explored. Their identification is a proof for the genetical component of the ...

The capillary transport of water into granitic rocks has been interpreted on the basis of the structure of its porous network. An effective pore radius has been calculated from a three-sized single-pore model proposed by F. A. L. Dullien, El-Sayed, and V. K. Batra (J. Colloid Interface Sci. 60, 497, 1977) Considering the porous network of granites as consisting of fissures ...
