of compulsive copying and syncretizing of foreign principles and practices with Japanese ways. He interprets this as indicating "identification with the enemy" and "neutralizing the threatening presence," so as to leave intact the potentiality of eventually establishing the Kingdom of Japan on Earth.

Streptococcal throat

G A Streptococcus (GAS) is the most common cause of acute bacterial pharyngitis, accounting for 20-30% of episodes of pharyngitis in children and 5-15% in adults.1 Streptococcal pharyngitis is a benign illness; however, it can be associated with suppurative tonsillopharyngeal complications or nonsuppurative immune mediated complications such as acute rheumatic fever (ARF), rheumatic heart disea...

Streptococcal Nucleases

Streptococcal DNAse C is more resistant to heat inactivation than the A or B enzyme. DNAses A and C are indifferent to the bacterial ribonucleic acid inhibitor whereas the B enzyme is markedly inhibited. Prolonged digestion with relatively large amounts of DNAse B results in chemical and biological destruction of the inhibitor. Ribonuclease as well as deoxyribonuclease activity is associated wi...

Group B Streptococcal Sepsis in a Newborn: a Case Report

Newborns’ bacterial infections due to group B Streptococcus (GBS) happen in two forms including early-onset disease or late-onset disease. In this paper, we report a case of early-onset GBS infection in a male infant. A 22-year-old primigravid woman delivers a term normal looking male infant. Nasal flaring, grunting, and poor feeding presented soon after birth. An empiric treatment wit...
