ANOSA, VICTOR 0. Postsplenectomy blood values, marrow cytology, erythrocyte life-span, and sequestration in mice. Am. J. Physiol. 231(4): 1254-1257. 1976. -Studies in mice indicated that splenectomy influenced neither the erythrocyte and leukocyte total and differential values nor the erythrocyte survival. The right femoral marrow erythrocyte and nucleated cell counts were also not altered by s...

We reviewed the records of 1257 patients having 1625 total knee arthroplasties; all had pre-operative and postoperative perfusion lung scans and postoperative venograms which were classified as showing no thrombi, calf thrombi or proximal thrombi. Patients with calf thrombi were found to have a significantly greater risk for both symptomatic and asymptomatic pulmonary embolism compared with pat...

Seed longevity, a fundamental plant trait for ex situ conservation and persistence in the soil of many species, varies across populations and generations that experience different climates. Mondoni et al. (pp. 1257–1263) study seeds from alpine and lowland populations of Silene vulgaris and show that seed longevity has a genetic basis but may show strong adaptive responses, which are associated...

Physical inactivity is a public health problem in Saudi Arabia.

When applied to large-scale separable optimization problems, the recently developed surrogate subgradient method for Lagrangian relaxation (Zhao et al.: J. Optim. Theory Appl. 100, 699–712, 1999) does not need to solve optimally all the subproblems to update the multipliers, as the traditional subgradient method requires. Based on it, the penalty surrogate subgradient algorithm was further deve...
