A stable home-base promotes allocentric memory representations of episodic-like everyday spatial memory.

A key issue in neurobiological studies of episodic-like memory is the geometric frame of reference in which memory traces of experience are stored. Assumptions are sometimes made that specific protocols favour either allocentric (map-like) or egocentric (body-centred) representations. There are, however, grounds for suspecting substantial ambiguity about coding strategy, including the necessity to use both frames of reference occasionally, but tests of memory representation are not routinely conducted.

Alloimmune and autoimmune background in recurrent pregnancy loss - successful immunotherapy by intravenous immunoglobulin.

Problem: Immunotherapies [leukocyte immunization, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)] introduced to treat women with recurrent spontaneous abortions (RSA) have still controversial results in most clinical trials. A selection of these patients would be advantageous for higher efficacy.

Method Of Study: A complex immunological panel assay was offered to patients with reproductive failure without any other known cause.

[Intravenous immunoglobulin treatment of recurrent spontaneous abortion with immunopathological background].

Introduction: Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is diagnosed if three or more spontaneous abortions follow each other typically in the first trimester. The root cause of miscarriages often can not be found. A significant proportion of this unexplained RSA cases may be caused by immunopathological failure.

[Advantages of living donor kidney transplantation; possibilities in the national transplantation program].

The review paper summarizes the advantages of the living donor kidney transplantation aiming that this kind of activity should get more support in Hungary. It is a general phenomenon overall the world, that there is no more possibility to increase the number of cadaver transplantations, and the outcome of them is also worsening because of the accumulation of aged patients with long time period of dialysis treatment. The paper points out the better results of living donor kidney transplantation underlining that the kidney long term survival, in general, is 10% over the cadaver kidney survival with significant less complication.

High anti-paternal cytotoxic T-lymphocyte precursor frequencies in women with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortions.

A number of cases of unexplained (idiopathic) recurrent spontaneous abortions may be attributable to immunological mechanisms. Several lines of evidence indicate that some immunocompetent effector cell populations play an important role in the pathogenesis of unexplained miscarriages. However a suitable method is lacking for defining an existing immunological background of recurrent spontaneous abortions.
