The results of an electrodiagnostic test, the electro-oculogram, recorded under standardized conditions, were compared. Recordings were obtained from 70 normal subjects in three European countries and 28 subjects in an Asian country. All subjects were 18–34 years old. Equal numbers of male and female patients were tested in each of six laboratories. There were no significant differences between the results of the European laboratories. There were, however, significant differences between the results of the European and the Asian laboratories, and between the results from the male and female subjects in all laboratories. This suggests the need for considering the possibility of male/female as well as local variations in normal control values when telemedicine is applied on a global scale.

Because of the increased interest in the role of Antithrombin III as a physiologic coagulation inhibitor and because of some previous problems we encountered in sequential measurement of this protein, the present study was designed to answer 3 questions: 1) Which of four methods (2 functional activity methods and 2 immunologic methods) is the most practical, accurate and reproducible? 2) Do normal subjects have relatively constant levels when tested sequentially by these methods? 3) What is the range of Antithrombin III levels in young healthy male and female subjects? A serum pool was tested by each of the 3 serum methods at least 20 different times throughout the study. The von Kaulla functional activity method gave the lowest standard deviation and coefficient of variation. In the group of 29 subjects this method proved to be the most practical and also gave very low coefficients of variation for individual subjects when they were tested from 11 to 16 times (range .023-.054). The other methods did not give such low coefficients of variation for individual subjects. The range of levels was 77 to 110% on 344 samples tested by the von Kaulla method With a mean of 92.8% and a standard deviation of 6.4%. The standard deviations for the pool and for individual subjects were greater but quite satisfactory for all methods.

In several previous studies it has been shown that the mean tremor amplitude displayed by morbidly anxious patients is greater than that of normal control subjects. The most detailed experiments were those carried out by Redfearn (1957). He compared the findings obtained in groups of male morbidly anxious patients and controls, and in addition to confirming the existence of a difference in tremor amplitude, he reported that the tremor of male anxious patients showed a greater degree of accentuation of the 8–10 c/sec. components than the tremor of a matched control group. Halliday and Redfearn (1956) compared the tremor spectra obtained from normal male and female subjects, and found that the curve for men was similar to that for women.

Abstract. The sources of TSH, which was excessively released by sulpiride (dopamine D2 receptor antagonist), were studied in 15 female patients with PRL-secreting adenoma (18-43 years). Sequential 3-day administration of sulpiride (100 mg, im) was given to 12 patients with prolactinoma and 6 normal female subjects (19-24 years). Patients with prolactinoma showed much greater TSH responses than normal subjects on the first day. However, TSH responses to sulpiride disappeared on the 2nd and 3rd day in both groups. In contrast, plasma PRL responses to the 1st sulpiride administration were smaller in patients with prolactinoma than in normal subjects, and the response disappeared following the 2nd administration in both groups. When TRH (500 μg, iv) was administered 120 min after the 3rd sulpiride injection, TSH and PRL increments were not different from those before the sulpiride injection in both patients with prolactinoma (N=6) and normal subjects (N=6) Further, combined administration of sulpiride and TRH in 5 patients with prolactinoma clearly enhanced the TSH and PRL responses compared with the single administration of each agent. These results suggest that there may be two readily releasable pituitary TSH and PRL pools, i.e. one dopamine-related and the other TRH-related, in patients with prolactinoma and normal female subjects.

Concentrations of L-tryptophan (L-Trp) and its metabolite, L-kynurenine (L-KYN), in sera of 19 normal subjects (age: 23.6 ± 3.5 y, male: 8, female: 11) were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with mass-spectrometric detection, following their derivatization with ( R)-(–)-4-(N, N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-7-(3-isothiocyanatopyrrolidin-1-yl)-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-PyNCS). A significant positive correlation between L-Trp and L-KYN concentrations was observed (r = 0.532, P < 0.05). Serum L-Trp concentration in male subjects (95.65 ± 4.27 μM) was significantly higher than that in female subjects (79.20 ± 3.34 μM; P < 0.05), while no significant differences in L-KYN concentration or the L-KYN:L-Trp ratio were observed between male and female subjects.

Mean fundamental frequencies of male and female subjects obtained with FLORIDA I and a tape striation counting procedure were compared. The fundamental frequencies obtained with these two methods were similar and it appears that the tape striation counting procedure is a viable, simple, and inexpensive alternative to more costly and complicated procedures and instrumentation.

Relevance. Separate issues in anthropomorphic sizes of relative norm of the ideal smile, its qualitative and qualitative parameters have not been addressed to sufficiently and are not properly reflected in scientific literature.Purpose. To determine distinguishing features in average smile parameters of the smile in male and female patients with orthognathic occlusion.Materials and methods. A clinical and anthropometric evaluation of parameters in main smile types was carried out for 150 young males and 150 young females aged 19-24 who had identical physiological development parameters.Results. It has been revealed that occurrence frequency of main smile types in patients with orthognathic occlusion has pronounced signs of sexual dimorphism which in over one half of the cases lies in predominance of the incisal smile type in males (52.7%) and the fascial type in females (55.3%). Occurence frequency of the cervical smile type totaled 25% among the studied patients of both genders. Average vertical size parameters in the incisal smile lies within the diapason of 3.91-4.91mm with surpassing by 1mm in males. Analogical data for the fascial smile type form the diapason of 6.21-6.73mm with surpassing by 0.52mm in females. The cervical smile type is characterised by larger vertical size forming the diapason of 7.94-8.91mm with surpassing by 0.97mm in males.Conclusion. The results of the study have shown that the “beautiful and ideal smile” is a relative concept having varied anthropometric characteristics and pronounced signs of sexual dimorphism lying in a broad spectrum of the dentofacial system norm notion with specific vectors for individual morphological deviations.
