The effects of chronic partial outflow obstruction in rats were investigated. The urethra of male rats was partially obstructed for 3 or 6 months and bladder function was compared with that of age-matched controls. Bladder function was studied in vivo by infusion cystometry and in vitro by measuring

β¦ Synopsis
The rate of appearance (R,) of calcium (Ca) in the cerebroventricular compartment of urethane-anesthesized rats was determined by two methods: one is measurement of isotope dilution during ventricular-cisternal perfusion with artificial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) containing 45Ca, the other is estimation of the rate of entry of 45Ca from plasma after rapid injection of tracer 45CaC12 intravenously. Electroshock treatment (EST) for 3 successive days resulted in a marked increase in the rate of entry of calcium from blood to CSF. The effect of EST on the permeability of the blood-CSF bamer to Ca could be observed even 24 hr after the generalized seizure induced by electroshock has terminated.

Background: In order to understand the cellular basis underlying the progressively poorer restorative capacity of long-term denervated muscle, we determined the effects of long-term denervation on the muscle fibers and satellite cell population of the rat extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle. Met
## Abstract The effect of restricting food intake by approximately 20% was studied in rats and mice. Both species were fed a similar βnaturalβ diet composed chiefly of cereals and bone meal. The duration of the rat study was 24 months, but mice were studied for their whole lifespan of 36 months. In
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Because medulloblastoma (MB) is rare in adults, the few studies on this condition have been retrospective, and the followβup has tended to be short. Furthermore, the different therapeutic strategies used in these patients has made it difficult to assess survival rates an
