TL;DR: There is no real increase in the number of children with duplex kidney having urinary tract infections, and the vast majority of duplex kidneys do not become diseased, according to excretory urograms performed.

TL;DR: Ro-07-0582 has been shown to have a radiosensitising effect in man and may therefore prove of value in radiotherapy.

TL;DR: Patients have been given single oral doses of the radiosensitiser Ro-07-0582 and serum concentrations have been attained in the range expected to be of value in radiosens itisation, with immediate gastrointestinal side effects appearing to limit the dose to below 140 mg/kg.

TL;DR: Radiological and pathological examination of femoral heads obtained at the time of total hip replacement for osteoarthritis demonstrate characteristic abnormalities accompanying the 'tilt deformity', and it would appear that, in most patients, this pattern of Femoral head migration results not from epiphysiolysis but from a remodelling process in the osteOarthritic joint.

TL;DR: Tumours of the lung, primary or secondary, may occasionally be complicated by a pneumothorax, and on rare occasions this may be the presenting feature.

TL;DR: In this first study in man, Ro-07-0582 appears to be a highly effective radiosensitiser of hypoxic cells and almost three times more effective than metronidazole.

TL;DR: The reduction of LE from 16% to 1% by supine positioning and bite block immobilisation was significant with a P value of less than 0.001 and the potential significance of LE in relation to CNS injury and tumour recurrence is discussed.

TL;DR: Thirty-three cases with malignant disease due mainly to lymphoma and testicular tumours were evaluated by computerised tomography (CT) scanning on the EMI general purpose scanner, finding CT scanning appears to be the most accurate method to date of showing the extent of malignant Disease.

TL;DR: Hepatodiaphragmatic interposition of the intestine (HDI) is a common radiological finding in the normal population of Iran compared to Western countries and its finding on a chest radiograph suggests atrophic cirrhosis of the liver.

TL;DR: Thirty cases have been treated by this method with a follow-up period of two years or longer; five recurrences were found at six months, and a further one by two years; no complications were observed.

TL;DR: A retrospective review of a series of cases of osseous metastases from carcinoma of the female breast treated either with single dose or ten fraction irradiation, equally reliable palliation was achieved by either method, unaffected by concomitant hormone therapy.

TL;DR: There was a relationship between ventricular size and residual disability as graded in this study, and recognition of an obstructive element in ventricular dilatation following head injury is important, since in a small carefully selected group of patients a ventricular shunting operation may favourably affect recovery.

TL;DR: Tumours were graded for malignancy either routinely or retrospectively on all patients with carcinoma simplex or scirrhous carcinoma, and the relation of grading to the subsequent development and distribution of metastases studied.

TL;DR: The prognosis of breast cancer in men and women was found to be similar and only minor histological differences were found between male and female cases.

TL;DR: The radiological appearances of six cases of primary fungal granuloma of the paranasal sinuses with involvement of the orbit are described, all of which were caused by Aspergillus flavus.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the double Contrast Enema, using a colonic activator in the preliminary cleansing enema, causes no greater risk of complications than either the conventional enema or sigmoidoscopy.

TL;DR: Calcified disc material in the spinal canal was clearly demonstrated in 11 cases, and this, in association with linear calcification in the adjacent disc space, has been shown to be diagnostic of the condition.

TL;DR: The objective of the present paper is to remedy the fact that the life table, or actuarial method, has not been explained in detail in a British journal so that it can be used more widely in the future in preference to a direct method.

TL;DR: The bone scan is of some value in providing immediate objective evidence of the therapeutic effectiveness of Mithramycin which has been used in this study in the treatment of the minority of patients with pain in Pagetoid bone.

TL;DR: A technique for routine hyptonic double-contrast studies of the upper gastrointestinal tract that is replacing barium studies for acute upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage and the various factors producing the barium coating effect are described.

TL;DR: The authors have correlated the findings of thermography and radiology in some inflammatory lesions to show changes of vascularity in the acute phase of a lesion whereas radiology is of value in showing structural changes.

TL;DR: The reliability of computerised axial tomography (CAT) in the recognition of intracranial lesions is now accepted and the possible relationship to the type of glioma present is assessed.

TL;DR: The authors report their experience of radiation hepatitis in two out of 117 consecutive lymphoma cases treated with total abdominal irradiation, which developed clinically overt manifestations which lasted for a short period of time and fully recovered.

TL;DR: High-dose excretion urography, tailored to the presenting problems, is the primary investigation and the results fall into five main groups, each of which presents different differential diagnostic problems.

TL;DR: It is concluded that in most instances these represented compression fractures with deformity of the articular process and a relationship between this deformity and primary or secondary degenerative cervical disc and joint disease is suggested.

TL;DR: The prevalence of gallstones has been examined in an unselected group of ileostomy patients who had undergone surgery for ulcerative colitis and 11 of 55 patients were found to have gallbladder disease which is considerably higher than that found in a control population in the same area.

TL;DR: A system of grading of severity of hyaline membrane disease according to the degree of radiological changes is devised and a prognosis for each grade is given.

TL;DR: Thirty-two cases of connective tissue sarcoma were treated by local excision immediately followed by a radioactive implant, sometimes supplemented by external radiation, effective in preventing local recurrence, and is particularly valuable for patients in whom persistent local recurrences following simple excision have occurred.

TL;DR: It is proposed that by choosing the dose given on any treatment schedule to keep the maximum value of the Cumulative Radiation Effect (CRE) achieved just below 1910 reu, the greatest probability of cure would be obtained with minimum complication rate.
