MICROBIC CYANOSIS.

Dissociation of Microbic Species

Two types of organism have been shown to exist in cultures of the bacillus of rabbit septicemia, recently isolated from spontaneous infections. One, Microbe D, grows diffusely in serum and plain broth, forms rather opaque, fluorescing colonies on serum agar, and is highly virulent for rabbits. These characters are retained throughout many passages in serum or plain broth. The other type, Microb...

Microbic Virulence and Host Susceptibility

One of us (Webster) has shown that the general non-specific resistance of mice bred at the Rockefeller Institute includes important elements associated with heredity and that, by selective breeding, the general resistance of a mouse population may be altered? We wish now to describe some experiments which demonstrate the effect of diet on host susceptibility to infection and intoxication. For s...

Studies on Cyanosis

These data prove that abnormally high oxygen unsaturation of the blood is a cause of cyanosis. The fact that the lowest value of oxygen unsaturation (in the venous blood) associated with cyanosis is about 8 volumes per cent seems to indicate that this amount of reduced hemoglobin is the lowest capable of producing a cyanotic color. We shall later discuss this point more in detail. Table III sho...

Designing preterm neonatal cyanosis simulation

Premature newborns have a lower survival expectancy than full term neonates. Determining their possible health risks is crucial. Training for health risk assessment is one of the factors that might help in lowering the mortality of premature neonates. The paper describes the design approach to develop a premature neonate simulator showing colorization of the facial skin to simulate cyanosis to ...
