Studies of Arthritis and Other Lesions Induced in Rats by Injection of Mycobacterial Adjuvant

A generalized disease is induced experimentally in the rat by administration of Freund's adjuvant. The primary clinical and pathologic lesions are arthritis, periarthritis, peritendinitis, and periostitis in the joints of the extremities and tail. Accompanying the arthritis in some cases, and never observed in its absence, are other specific tissue lesions including iridocyclitis, nodular lesio...

Curious curium.

Although perhaps not as renowned as its actinide siblings plutonium and uranium, the fourth transuranic element — named in honour of Pierre and Marie Curie — has a story that is intertwined with that of the twentieth century. The first isotope of element 96, 242Cm, was prepared in 1944 by Seaborg, James, and Ghiorso through bombardment of 239Pu with helium nuclei. This finding was quickly follo...

The Curious Question of Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Edema

The question of whether pulmonary edema develops during exercise on land is controversial. Yet, the development of pulmonary edema during swimming and diving is well established. This paper addresses the current controversies that exist in the field of exercise-induced pulmonary edema on land and with water immersion. It also discusses the mechanisms by which pulmonary edema can develop during ...
