PURPOSE: To assess the value of a three-dimensional Fourier transformation MR technique ''CISS'' (constructive interference in steady state) in imaging the inner ear. SUBJECTS: We studied 50 normal inner ears (40 axial, 10 coronal) and 10 patholog...

The mutation involved in myotonic dystrophy (DM) has been mapped to the region between the ERCC1 DNA repair gene and the anonymous D19S51 locus on 19q13.3. Starting at locus D19S112 (probe pX75b), which served as a novel entry site for this chromo...

Between 1987 and 1990, 85 patients with an acetabular fracture underwent surgical reconstruction at the university hospital Leuven. In order to get an idea of functional outcome and - hereby - to draw some conclusions towards relevant clinical inv...

A radiological technique, using a new CT software program for the evaluation of alveolar process height and width, is presented. Irradiation is kept within acceptable limits when this technique is used. Measurements obtained with this technique ...

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 ...

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...

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 ...

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...
