TL;DR: Operative performance and cardiac response (heart rate and electrocardiograms) were evaluated in surgical personnel during 33 operations and this approach appears to offer a method for studying the relationship between stress, surgical performance and the learning of surgical skills.

TL;DR: Oxygen tension was measured serially in 2-hour to 10-day-old human wounds by implanting a 10-cm.

TL;DR: Perfusion with stored blood resulted in significantly increased pulmonary vascular resistance, end-inspiratory bronchial pressure, and lung water in both baboons and dogs relative to controls, and stored dog blood fails to show a consistent elevation in SFP relative to control blood.

TL;DR: Intermittent intravenous administration of methylprednisolone has the potential advantage of being associated with fewer side effects than frequent oral administration and has been shown to be an effective method for modifying rejection.

TL;DR: Mobilization of acutely injured nerves should be minimal but, from these studies, appears safe since functional regeneration does not depend on the initial preservation of collateral blood supply.

TL;DR: This method is proposed to provide improved preoperative characterization of portal hemodynamics and allow better selection of patients and procedures for decompression of portal venous hypertension in the patient with esophageal variceal hemorrhage.

TL;DR: Investigations into ultrasonic transmission velocity in human blood were carried out using frequency, distance, temperature, total protein content, and hematocrit as variables and velocity values were found to vary only with respect to temperature.

TL;DR: Sympathectomy had little effect on esophageal motility but caused marked diminution in the resting pressure of the inferior sphincter, when combined with vagotomy, which prevented the effect of vagotomy on the spHincter but not on the body of the esophagus.

TL;DR: A group of MI shock patients has been identified who also show evidence for a significant cardiac nonmixing volume which appears associated with the magnitude of the akinetic area of infarcted myocardium, which appears to be an important prognostic sign which suggests the need for cardiac support and may also have implications regarding the necessity for definitive surgery.

TL;DR: It is postulated that these findings after hemorrhage are consistent with a decreased permeation or flow of albumin across the capillaries in the liver and viscera drained by the left thoracic duct, and this effect appears to be a major component in the plasma albumin refilling seen after experimental hemorrhage.

TL;DR: Despite the rapidly expanding knowledge about renal allograft rejection, many basic tenets and a specific therapeutic approach remain to be eludicated.

TL;DR: Peritoneal dialysis improved the survival rate in experimentally induced pancreatitis in guinea pigs without the use of any adjunctive therapy and when dialysis was employed after the induction of pancreatitis.

TL;DR: The present results do not indicate the development of selective cerebral hypoxia or anaerobiosis at any time, even in the presence of moderately severe respiratory alkalosis.

TL;DR: Additional mammary adenocarcinomas will develop in mice with regressing tumors possibly because the immunity induced by the intratumor injections of VCN and/or BCG is not directed to the MTV antigen but rather to weaker specific antigens on the treated tumor.

TL;DR: Delayed primary closure of the skin and subcutaneous layers significantly reduced the incidence of subsequent wound infection, but the open wound that had been prepared for later closure frequently became colonized by hospital pathogens and subsequently became infected after closure by a different set of bacteria.

TL;DR: The correspondence between the mitochondrial impairment times found and the time limit for hepatic viability in normothermic and hypothermic ischemia, found by other authors, could indicate that the perfect function of the mitochondria might be a good index in hepatic preservation.

TL;DR: It is suggested that factors of portal origin have a role in the control of hepatic hypertrophy, and in their absence, there is increased hyperplasia after hepatic resection.

TL;DR: Pulmonary arteriography demonstrated marked vasospasm and thrombosis of branches of the pulmonary artery 6 hours after aspiration in untreated animals, and it is suggested that these vascular changes may be important events in the pathogenesis of aspiration pneumonia.

TL;DR: It is concluded that ultrasonic methods of monitoring blood flow changes in rejection of human renal allografts is a useful adjunct in the clinical diagnosis of rejection.

TL;DR: The results indicate that antigenically altered collagen aids bone reconstitution and further studies are warranted.

TL;DR: Blood chemistry changes, energy-rich phosphates, and glucose metabolites in the heart, skeletal muscle, and liver were studied in rabbits in compensated and decompensated shock after the intravenous injection of E. coli O111 endotoxin, with the decisive target of which is concluded to be the vascular system.

TL;DR: Dipyridamole (Persantine, Geigy) was found to be capable of altering the pulmonary vascular response to hypoxia, and the results are here reported.
