Journal ArticleDOI
An association between migraine and cutaneous allodynia
Rami Burstein,Rami Burstein,David Yarnitsky,Itay Goor-Aryeh,Bernard J. Ransil,Zahid H. Bajwa +5 more
TL;DR: These findings suggest that the pathophysiology of migraine involves not only irritation of meningeal perivascular pain fibers but also a transient increase in the responsiveness of central pain neurons that process information arising from intracranial structures and skin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three Patterns of Catamenial Epilepsy
TL;DR: The existence of three hormonally based patterns of seizure exacerbation is proposed on the basis of the neuroactive properties of estradiol and progesterone and the menstrually related cyclic variations of their serum concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical, biological, and histologic parameters as predictors of relapse in ulcerative colitis
Alain Bitton,Mark A. Peppercorn,Donald A. Antonioli,John L. Niles,Samir A. Shah,Athos Bousvaros,Bernard J. Ransil,Gary Wild,Albert Cohen,Michael D. De B. Edwardes,A C Stevens +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed whether clinical, biological, and histologic parameters in quiescent Ulcerative colitis (UC) patients predict time to clinical relapse and found that younger age, multiple previous relapses and basal plasmacytosis on rectal biopsy specimens were independent predictors of earlier relapse.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival of patients with severe congestive heart failure treated with oral milrinone
Donald S. Baim,Wilson S. Colucci,E. Scott Monrad,Harton S. Smith,Richard F. Wright,Alyce S. Lanoue,D F Gauthier,Bernard J. Ransil,William Grossman,Eugene Braunwald +9 more
TL;DR: Although milrinone is well tolerated and produces early symptomatic benefits in approximately half of patients with congestive heart failure refractory to conventional therapy, there is no evidence that it improves the high baseline mortality in this disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Psychosocial determinants of relapse in ulcerative colitis: a longitudinal study.
Alain Bitton,Maida J Sewitch,Mark A. Peppercorn,Michael D. De B. Edwardes,Samir A. Shah,Bernard J. Ransil,Steven E. Locke +6 more
TL;DR: Findings support a biopsychosocial model of disease, which might help clinicians identify patients who might benefit from more intensive maintenance medical therapy and behavioral medicine interventions to reduce stress and improve coping.
