LVII. Further experiments and observations on iodine

Further Observations on Plague

Further observations on metronidazole (Flagyl).

Unexpected cases of icterus gravidarum in infancy have in many instances been traced to drug absorption from the maternal circulation. After consulting with paediatricians, it was considered advisable to investigate under hospital supervision the effect, if any, of metronidazole ("Flagyl") on the foetus and later on the breast-fed infant. In Edinburgh a "mother and baby" survey on 96 patients c...

Further observations on subarachnoid haemorrhage.

This paper is a direct sequel to that of two of the authors (McKissock and Walsh, 1956) in which evidence was produced to suggest that surgical treatment for ruptured intracranial aneurysm led to a lower mortality rate than the 50% which had been widely accepted as the death rate under conservative treatment. In that paper was collected a series of 108 cases of ruptured aneurysm treated medical...

Further Experiments on the Absorption of Ions by Plants, including Observations on the Effect of Light

1. The conditions of illumination were found to exert a very significant influence on absorption of ions from dilute solution by Nitella. These conditions were also found to influence the penetration of Br and NO(3) into the cell sap. 2. It is concluded that absorption of ions by plants from dilute solutions involves energy exchanges, with light as the ultimate source of the energy. It is sugge...

Further Observations and Experiments on Goitre (so Called Thyroid Carcinoma) in Brook Trout (salvelinus Fontinalis)

1. Goitre in fish is a non-infectious, non-contagious, symptomatic manifestation of a fault of nutrition, the exact biochemical nature of which has not been determined. 2. Feeding the highly artificial and incomplete diet of liver is the major etiological factor in bringing about this fault of nutrition which is at once corrected by feeding whole sea fish. 3. Water plays no essential part in th...
