Background: Experimental psychology has only recently provided supporting evidence for Freud's and Janet's description of unconscious phenomena. Here, we aimed to assess whether specific abilities, such as personal psychodynamic experience, enhance the ability to recognize unconscious phenomena in peers - in other words, to better detect implicit knowledge related to individual self-experience.
Methodology And Principal Findings: First, we collected 14 videos from seven healthy adults who had experienced a sibling's cancer during childhood and seven matched controls.
Aim: To examine the effect of overexpression of human intracellular copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD1) gene on fetal mice brain exposed to in-utero ischemic reperfusion injury.
Design: Transient in-utero ischemia (7 min) was induced in pregnant transgenic mice overexpressing human CuZnSOD1 and wild-type mice by occluding the blood supply to the uterine artery on day 17 of pregnancy, followed by 24 hours of reperfusion. The level of lipid peroxidation in fetal mice brains was compared between the transgenic and non-transgenic (control) fetal mice.
The objective of this paper is to study the possible additive effect of corticosteroids to the known effect of indomethacin on potency of the human ductus arteriosus. Systolic and diastolic blood flow of the fetal ductus arteriosus was measured by echo Doppler at 26-32 weeks of gestation. Four groups of patients were studied according to the treatment they have received: group A (exposure to indomethacin and betamethasone); group B (indomethacin alone); group C (betamethasone); and group D (controls).

Design: Prospective study.
Setting: An IVF unit of an academic medical center.
We report a case of a 37-year-old woman who had received five courses of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist (Decapeptyl) for presumed uterine leiomyomata associated with episodes of uterine bleeding. Submucous myoma (histologically proven) was partially removed on the first visit. After a period of significant reduction in the tumor size and cessation of uterine bleeding, the symptoms recurred along with rapid re-growth of the uterus.

Methods: During a 6-month period, from July 1 to December 30, 1993, 313 consecutive pregnant patients were evaluated. Randomly voided, midstream, clean-catch urine specimens were used.

Hysteroscopy was used for the assessment of the uterine scar in 32 women one year after cesarean section. There was complete muscularization in 18 cases, partial replacement of muscular tissue by connective-tissue elements in 8 cases, and full replacement, in 6. Hysteroscopy may be used to set the time for the next pregnancy and predict the course of labor.

5 newborn infants, whose mothers acknowledged steady use of marihuana prior to and during pregnancies, displayed symptoms of intrauterine growth retardation, neurological problems, and abnormal morphogenesis. These findings fit in with the experimental studies and surveys of pregnant human populations which have indicated that cannabis products have teratogenic potential, though rigorous proof must await further information.

Average daily alcohol consumption of mothers of normal infants was less than that of mothers of FAS and partial FAS infants.

Seventy-three patients, diagnosed in childhood as having minimal brain dysfunction syndrome and further classified as either developmental lag (38%) or organic brain syndrome (62%), were followed into late adolescence and early adult life. At follow-up 7% were free of psychiatric disorder, 80% had various types of personality disorder, and 14% were borderline psychotic. Global outcome was rated as satisfactory in 20%, unsatisfactory in 80%.

In only one patient was investigation for renal pathology made in the absence of clinical indication. Two had palpable masses in the left upper quadrant, one had pyelonephritis, one had painless hematuria, and the fifth patient had symptomatology suggestive of renal failure.
