Histochemical analysis of extracellular matrix material in embryonic trisomy 1 mouse eye

Smith, Barbara S. (John Wiley & Sons, 1989)

Trisomic animals produced from mice doubly heterozygous for Robertsonian translocation chromosomes [Rb(1.3)/Rb(1.10)]consistently show eye defects (e.g., aphakia, microphakia, and retention of lens stalk). To determine if ...
Mitosis in embryonic trisomy 1 mouse eye

Smith, Barbara S. (John Wiley & Sons, 1989-12)

Quantifying ventilatory reserve to predict respiratory failure in exacerbations of COPD

Beachey, Will D.; Olson, Dan E. (American College of Chest Physicians, 1990-05)

We developed a concept of VR in patients with acute exacerbation of advanced COPD and tested the hypothesis that it is predictable and clinically useful in the ER. Our concept of VR was based on the idea that a threshold ...
A reliable isokinetic strength test for arm and leg musculature for mildly mentally retarded adults

The cardiovascular capacities of adults with Down syndrome: a comparative study

Pitetti, Kenneth H.; Climstein, Mike; Campbell, Kathryn D.; Barrett, Pamela J.; Jackson, James A. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1992-01)

The purpose of this study was to compare the cardiovascular capacities of individuals with Down syndrome (DS) to individuals without Down syndrome who are mentally retarded. Sixteen young adults with DS and 16 individuals ...
Lens and mesenchyme ultrastructure in gestational day 11 trisomy 1 mice

Smith, Barbara S.; Walker, N. J. (John Wiley & Sons, 1992-12)

The lenses and head mesenchyme of two 11-gestational day trisomy 1 mouse embryos and a normal littermate were examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). One trisomic embryo had a small lens with a lens stalk; ...
Prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome and other work-related musculoskeletal problems in cardiac sonographers

Vanderpool, Heidi E.; Friis, Elizabeth A.; Smith, Barbara S.; Harms, Kenneth L. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1993-06)
