Variable simple sequence motifs (VSSMs), or microsatellites, were used for the genetic delimitation of the myotonic dystrophy (DM) region at 19q. Three simple sequence motifs were identified in and around the ERCC1 DNA-repair gene at 19q13.2-13.3 ...

Internal derangements or disk dysfunctions represent the most frequent pathology of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The radiological study of TMJ dysfunction was, for a long time, restricted to arthrography. More and more MR is used to study th...

All patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis for more than 10 years in the university hospitals of Leuven were selected for this study. The medical records and radiographs of these 21 patients were studied retrospectively. Skele...

An elderly Belgian population group anno 1986 consisting of 53 men and 110 women above the age of 75 years with a mean age of 80 and 81 years, respectively, is characterized by relative obesity and low diastolic blood pressure, both in men and wom...

Samples of 37 fresh human ovarian tumor biopsies were screened to detect proto-oncogene amplification and ras mutations. Three samples showed c-K-ras2 amplification; none of the other oncogenes tested revealed any gene amplification. 5-, 25-, and ...

In four independent transfection experiments performed with high molecular weight DNA isolated from a human ovarian carcinoma, oncogenic NIH3T3 cells contained an activated mas gene in the in vivo tumorigenicity assay. Varying from 1.8 to 3.5 kb u...

Clinical and epidemiological studies indicate that the risk for gastric cancer is increased in pernicious anaemia, atrophic gastritis, postgastrectomy stumps. Ménétrier's disease and gastric adenomatous polyps. Using histoautoradiography, cell mat...
