Experimental evaluation of various embolism-inducing materials in embolization of the rat kidney.
No full textFirst clinical results with isobutyl-2-cyanoacrylate in the arterial embolisation of cancer of the kidney.
No full textPreoperative embolisation with isobutyl-2-cyanoacrylate by means of an intra-arterial catheter during selective angiography was experimented in 2 cases of carcinoma of the kidney. The technique and the results obtained are described and discussed
Evaluation of different types of emboli in transcatheter embolization of rat kidney.
No full textThe properties and characteristics of a variety of embolic materials (Clots--surgicel--gelfoam--barium--cyanoacrylates) were investigated by transcatheter embolization of the rat kidney. Clots and surgicel result in temporary embolization, with return of normal renal function. Gelfoam barium and cyanoacrylates produce definitive embolization. Only barium was found in veins

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
[Testis autotransplantation in the abdominal cryptorchidism (author's transl)].
No full textTestis autotransplantation represents an elegant and safe surgical procedure in the complex problem of the abdominal cryptorchidism. The authors report 2 cases of testis autotransplantation, in a child and in a young adult. the technique is strictly microsurgical, using the operative microscope, the microsurgical instruments and microsutures. For the control, the use of Doppler sound has proven its efficacy. The first results are encouraging and the authors conclude that such an intervention deserves to be taken into consideration when the decision to conserve an abdominal testicle is considered
PTH radioimmunoassay on selective venous samplings as a method of localization of parathyroid adenomas in primary hyperparathyroidism.
No full textPreoperative localization of parathyroid adenomas by various methods is today in increasing clinical use. The practical value of the methods is discussed, with particular reference to the PTH radioimmunoassay on selective venous samplings, which is the most reliable. The authors report on their 38 cases with suspected primary hyperparathyroidism during the last six years
