Prospective documentation and analysis of the pre- and early clinical management in severe head injury in southern Bavaria at a population based level.

Treatment of patients suffering from severe head injury is so far restricted to general procedures, whereas specific pharmacological agents of neuroprotection including hypothermia have not been found to improve the outcome in clinical trials. Albeit effective, symptomatic measures of the preclinical rescue of patients (i.e.

[Osseous ligament ruptures in the ankle joint].

An osseous ligament rupture in the ankle joint can conceal a distorsion. The exact diagnosis is possible only by X-ray. The origin of those injuries is frequently twisting of the ankle by walking on smooth or uneven ground.

Plasma membrane-integrated estrogen receptors in breast tissue: possible modulator molecular for intracellular hormone level.

Plasma membrane fractions from tumor specimens of 14 peri- and postmenopausal primary breast cancer patients and from non-neoplastic tissue were prepared by sucrose density sedimentation. The membranes were disintegrated by Triton X-100 and the 3H-estrogen binding capacity of membrane-derived proteins was determined. The receptor system found in the plasma membranes was mainly of low affinity and high capacity, working apparently in tandem with the high affinity and low capacity system described for the cytosol.
