Richard Jorgensen

the well-known tendency of particular maladies to show breed-specificity can be used to infer likely sharing of descent of the causative alleles. As made clear in the volume under review, this is as true of major-gene diseases such as copper toxicosis and various retinopathies, as it is of the more complex and more prevalent cardiomyopathies, cancers, and dermatitis. Conduction of clinical tria...

Biographical Feature: James Jorgensen, Ph.D.

In the words of Gary Doern, Ph.D., a colleague, collaborator, and friend, “Few people have made more significant and lasting contributions to the field of clinical microbiology than has Jim Jorgensen, not only as a dedicated practitioner but also as an extremely productive researcher, an uncommonly effective educator, a broad reaching author, and a lifelong advocate for the discipline.” Such se...

The Kubelka-Munk Theory of Reflectance

This theory was originally developed for paint films but works quite well in many circumstances for paper. It is not, however, terribly good for dyed papers (or very dark, unbleached papers) when light absorption reaches a high level. A limiting assumption is that the particles making up the layer must be much smaller than the total thickness. Both absorbing and scattering media must be uniform...

Periodontal Manifestations in a Patient with Haim-Munk Syndrome

Haim-Munk syndrome is an extremely rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized clinically by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, aggressive periodontitis with severe alveolar bone destruction, onychogryphosis, pes planus, arachnodactyly, and acro-osteolysis. Consanguinity seems a notable prerequisite. The aim of this study was therefore to report one case of this syndrome and to focus on the perio...
