Processed foods: contributions to nutrition.

Both fresh and processed foods make up vital parts of the food supply. Processed food contributes to both food security (ensuring that sufficient food is available) and nutrition security (ensuring that food quality meets human nutrient needs). This ASN scientific statement focuses on one aspect of processed foods: their nutritional impacts.

[MR tomography and bone marrow scintigraphy in the screening of skeletal metastases in patients with breast carcinoma].

46 patients with recently diagnosed carcinoma of the breast were included in a prospective comparative study of MRI and bone marrow scintigraphy. The aim of the study was to compare these procedures within a histologically unified patient collective. It was shown that MRI was superior to bone marrow scintigraphy in respect of sensitivity (92% vs 58%) and specificity (97% vs.

[The role of MRT in detecting the cause of therapy-refractory partial complex epilepsy].

MRT is of considerable significance in the investigation of epilepsy because of its ability to render soft tissue contrast for the demonstration of structural lesions. The present retrospective study consists of an analysis of MRT findings in operatively confirmed, circumscribed temporal tumours and in hippocampal sclerosis. The examinations were performed under standard conditions using T1- and T2-weighted spin-echo sequences of the head and coronal T2-weighted gradient-echo sequences of the brain stem.

Fort Polk Heart Smart Program. Part I: Background design and significance.

This paper introduces three cardiovascular health evaluation and promotion projects targeting military families at Fort Polk, Louisiana. These studies examine dietary behavior and life-styles including tobacco and alcohol use of military wives, physical activity, cardiovascular disease risk factors of military personnel and their families, and other behavioral profiles with the goal of developing a healthy lifestyle modification program for families. Relevant biomedical background and rationale considerations are developed to support the current research.

[Magnetic resonance tomography with fast spin-echo sequences--the results in the ENT area].

Unlabelled: The use of T2-weighted spin-echo sequences is mandatory for identifying tumours in the ENT region and for differential diagnosis of pathological findings. A highly promising alternative to time-consuming conventional SE sequences is now available in the fast-spin-echo sequences (FSE). FSE was compared with the conventional SE (CSE) basing on 100 assessments of examinations of 20 patients.
