Nephrogenic metaplasia of the ureter.

We present what, to our knowledge, is the first reported case of nephrogenic metaplasia of the ureter. Nephrogenic metaplasia involves the transitional epithelium of the urinary tract and results in the formation of epithelial tubules, which are histologically similar to renal tubules. Special stains demonstrated both intracellular and intraluminal mucin. Ultrastructurally, the lesion consisted of epithelial cells with sparse microvilli and a thick basal lamina. The criteria for diagnosis and differentiation from carcinoma are discussed.

Cardiac change as a function of attention to and awareness of continuous verbal text.

A 17-minute passage taken from a patient's talking in a psychoanalytic interview was played to 40 subjects, including trained therapists, therapists in training, and inexperienced undergraduates. Subjects were alerted to the organizing theme (termination of the patient's treatment) and asked to attend to direct and indirect references to this theme. Tonic heart rate, averaged over 30-second periods, was lower when clues were present on the tape than during control periods when clues were not present. Profiles of phasic heart rate were drawn for 11-second periods that overlapped the end of each clue and control passage. Profiles associated with clues were significantly lower than profiles for control passages; profiles for recalled and recognized clues showed a wave form distinct from that of profiles associated with unrecognized clues.

[Physical exercise. The results in hypertensive patients of area 30 of the Policlínico Docente Lawson].

Systematic physical training influences upon a series of changes which occurs in the body, not only improves the cardiovascular functioning, but every organ and system, it increases the functional capacity of the individual, reduces tension due to stress and controls arterial tension figures. Regarding the aforementioned aspects, a study in 50 patients representing 100% of hypertensive subjects involved in a physical exercise program without any other associated disease is made with the aim of determining the influence of systematic physical activity upon the treatment of arterial hypertension. Results show that in most of the patients who previously had high tension values, hypertension was controlled or improved by systematic physical training and the use of drugs was also reduced or eliminated.

Computerized preparation of a scientific poster.

We prepared an attractive and effective poster using a Macintosh computer and Laserwriter and Imagewriter II printers. The advantages of preparing the poster in this fashion were increased control of the final product, decreased cost, and a sense of artistic satisfaction. Although we employed only the above mentioned computer, the desktop publishing techniques described can be used with other systems.
