Cross-codal integration of bridging-event information in narrative understanding.

Visual narratives communicate event sequences by using different code systems such as pictures and texts. Thus, comprehenders must integrate information from different codalities. This study addressed such cross-codal integration processes by investigating how the codality of bridging-event information (i.

Restoring one's language edifice: A case study of long-term effects of intensive aphasia therapy employing cognitive modifiability strategies.

NG is an architect who suffered a left occipital-parietal hemorrhage cerebral vascular accident (CVA) in 2000, resulting in aphasia of Wernicke and conduction types. He was characterized with fluent paraphasic speech, decreased repetition, and impaired object naming. Comprehension was relatively preserved but reading and writing were severely compromised, as well as his auditory working memory.

Hyperthermic isolated limb perfusion with tumor necrosis factor alone for melanoma.

Purpose: Recent reports indicate that hyperthermic isolated limb perfusion using tumor necrosis factor, interferon gamma and melphalan is associated with response rates of greater than 90% in patients with in-transit metastatic melanoma. We evaluated the toxicity and efficacy of tumor necrosis factor alone administered during hyperthermic isolated limb perfusion.

Patients And Methods: Six patients were perfused at 39.

Treatment of hepatic-metastatic colorectal cancer with a chemotherapeutic emulsion: interim results of a phase I trial.

Background: Hepatic arterial infusion of 5-fluoro-2-deoxyuridine (FUdR) is associated with a 60% response rate among previously untreated patients who have hepatic-metastatic colorectal cancer. One obstacle to further dose escalation has been concomitant hepatic toxicity. We are evaluating a FUdR-containing chemotherapeutic emulsion to further dose intensify therapy without associated toxicity.
