Considerable deficits in the detection performance of the cat after lesion of the suprasylvian visual cortex
The ability of two cats to discriminate between two geometrical outline patterns in the presence of superimposed structured background was tested before and after bilateral removal of the lateral suprasylvian visual areas (PMLS, PLLS, AMLS, ALLS, part of area 7). There were mild deficits when patterns and background were kept stationary; these deficits may be due to a partial undercutting of areas 17, 18 and 19. However, there was a severe impairment in performance when the patterns were moving on a stationary background which may be due to loss of the suprasylvian visual areas. Movement of the background relative to the figure resulted in an intermediate detection deficit.
PanCareLIFE
Aims: Survival after cancer diagnosed during childhood or adolescence continues to improve with new treatments and supportive therapies. Optimal long-term care requires that risks to vulnerable organs are clearly defined and translated into guidelines that are implemented into practice. PanCareLIFE is a pan-European consortium that addresses survivorship issues comprising fertility, hearing impairment and quality of life. This article describes the scientific basis of PanCareLIFE's studies.Methods: PanCareLIFE involves 17 partner institutions from eight European countries, with additional 11 data providers from five other countries. Study designs and methods include molecular genetic, cohor…
Ergebnisse der Behandlung von Mamma-Carcinomen in 12 Jahren
Die Krankengeschichten von 171 an Mamma-Carcinom operierten Patienten wurden ausgewertet. Die Altersverteilung zeigt die hochsten Fallzahlen zwischen dem 30.–60. Lebensjahr, wobei bereits uber die Halfte der Patientinnen eine histologisch nachgewiesene Metastasierung in die axillaren Lymphknoten zeigte. Histologisch handelte es sich am haufigsten um undifferenzierte (solide) Carcinome. Hinsichtlich der Lokalisation war die laterale Seite gegenuber der medialen bzw. zentralen um das Dreifache bevorzugt. Die Behandlung bestand fur 5/6 der Falle in der Radikaloperation, fur das restliche Sechstel wegen fortgeschrittenen Lebensalters der Patienten oder der Ausdehnung des Tumors in der einfachen…
