(1) The paper describes current concepts of this clinical entity also known as Forestier's disease.
(2) They found 17 cases in which dorsal vertebral hyperostosis was indiscutable and in which there was acquired stenosis of the cervical canal related to the bony proliferations that had developed on the anterior face of the cervical canal and to the type of cells described by Forestier and Rotes-Querol on the anterior and lateral faces of the vertebral column.
(3) Applying available epidemiologic information, these data further suggest that patients with the B27 antigen may be at substantial risk of developing Forestier's disease.
(4) Radiologic studies are essential in diagnosing Forestier's disease and include lateral cervical spine roentgenograms, thoracic and lumbosacral vertebrae roentgenograms, esophagram, vertebrae roentgenograms, esophagram, and computed tomography.
(5) These included (a) Forestier's disease, (b) ankylosing spondylitis, and (c) polyarthrosis of the hands.
(6) Forestier disease, or ankylosing hyperostosis, is a common disorder of middle-aged and elderly persons.
(7) In patients with Forestier's disease, B5 was increased, but this was not a significant difference.
(8) Recently, diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) or Forestier's disease has also been identified as a cause of dysphagia.
(9) Despite the lack of apophyseal or sacroiliac joint involvement, Forestier's disease (vertebral ankylosing hyperostosis) shares with the inflammatory forms of spondylitis, the roentgenographic appearance of spinal new bone formation.
(10) Multiple ossifications of tendons often suggest Forestier's disease and ankylosing spondylitis.
(11) Because of this apparent similarity, the prevalence of the HL-A B27 antigen was determined in 47 white patients with Forestier's disease.
(12) The authors analysed the case histories of 40 patients with cervical myelopathy and were struck by the frequency of associated vertebral hyperostosis (Forestier and Rotès-Quérol disease).
(13) The overall structure, previously determined by X-ray analysis of an N-bromoacetyl derivative (Anguili, R., Foresti, E., Riva Di Sanserverino, L., Isaacs, N.W., Kennard, O., Motherwell, W.D.S., Wampler, D.L.
(14) The plan clearly defines the objectives, the strategies and the division of responsibilities in its implementation, involving the following four major sectors of activity: prevention, treatment and rehabilitation; control and monitoring of substances used for legitimate purposes; suppression of the illicit drug traffic; and the eradication of illicit coca plant growing together with the promotion of agricultural, agro-industrial and forestial development.
(15) 61 shoulders of rheumatoid diseases, 23 of ankylosing spondylo-arthritis, 22 of psoriatic rheumatism and 30 of hyperostoses (Forestier's disease) were analysed and compared.
(16) In 11 patients with Forestier disease 4 were shown to have obliteration of the sacroiliac joints.
(17) Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (Forestier's disease) is a common disorder found in the spinal region, but the notable finding in this case presentation is the associated dysphagia and dysphonia that occurred with it.
(18) A case of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (Forestier's disease) causing dysphonia as the presenting and only symptom is reported.
(19) The Forestier's disease is an skeletal idiopathy described by this A. and Rotés Querol, in 1950, characterized by the systemic ossification in variable degree of the vertebral column.
(20) On the nosological point of view, this radio-clinical picture, individualized by Forestier, was successively considered as an autonomous affection, a rheumatoid polyarthritis (P.R.
Silviculture
Definition:
(n.) See Sylviculture.
Example Sentences:
(1) Assessing the potential for human exposure and resultant health risk from applying dioxin-contaminated papermill sludge to agricultural and silvicultural lands in Central Wisconsin is a complex issue.
(2) A time related rising trend in relative risk was found in the silviculture subcohort.
(3) Relative risks significantly higher than unity were found among fur farming and silviculture workers where the relative risks were 4.45 and 2.26, respectively.
(4) In addition to the time-dependent description of growth an expenditure-dependent parameter is necessary, with the help of which it is possible to interpret quantitatively the expenditure of economically motivated silvicultural measures in forest stands.
(5) Given the possible effects of newer agents used in both silviculture and agriculture, as well as the general concern over drugs and other environmental agents, such a long-term monitoring program is important.
(6) The boycott is a model of "healthy public policy" in action, and can be one element in a public health strategy to reduce significantly pesticide use and promote less toxic alternatives and less chemically dependent forms of agriculture and silviculture.
(7) The purpose of this study was to measure forest workers' exposure to the herbicide glyphosate during silvicultural clearing work done with brush saws equipped with pressurized herbicide sprayers.
