Studies on Pure Red Cell Aplasia . XI

Thirty-seven patients with pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) were seen between 1 966 and 1 982. Ten patients had accompanying diseases described in association with PRCA, while the remainder had primary PACA. All but two patients were treated with some form of immune manipulation. including corticosteroids. cytotoxic drugs. antithymocyte globulin. splenectomy. thymectomy. and plasmapheresis. Twenty-...

Primer on medical genomics. Part XI: Visualizing human chromosomes.

In the past century, various methods to visualize human chromosomes were discovered. Chromosome analyses provide an overall view of the human genome that cannot be achieved with any other approach. The methods to visualize chromosomes include various techniques to produce bands along chromosomes, specialized procedures for specific disorders, and fluorescent-labeled DNA for targeted loci. Cytog...

Studies on Bacterial Localization

THE RESULTS OF GROSS AND MICROSCOPIC OBSERVATIONS AND SURVIVAL TESTS AFTER SUBCUTANEOUS INFECTION OF MICE WITH TYPE I PNEUMOCOCCI CAN BE SUMMARIZED AS FOLLOWS: Normal mice possessed no adequate means of protection against this organism. The bacteria disseminated freely through the tissue spaces in the presence of widespread inflammation, and were not ingested by significant numbers of host cell...

Studies on Bacterial Nutrition

1. Certain anaerobic bacteria grow under aerobic conditions in plain broth in the presence of sterile unheated plant tissue. 2. Aerobic growth of anaerobic bacteria under the above conditions may be related to the presence of growth-accessory substances, and to the action of oxidizing-reducing systems of plant tissue in the destruction of toxic peroxides of bacterial origin.
