1 hough universally recognised as a very potent factor in the causation of certain wellknown diseases such as aneurysm, Stokes Adams' syndrome, certain forms of meningitis, hemiplegia, etc., syphilis of the circulatory system is not by any means universally understood by the medical profession. It is, therefore, a great pleasure to read the lucid exposition of the subject by Dr. Ivy Mackenzie, ...

Pontine myelinolysis (PM) was first described in 1959 by Adams et al. in alcoholic patients [1]. Also known as osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS), PM is subdivided into central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) and extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM) [2]. Each is identified at the level of demyelination either centered within the pons [1] or outside the pons [3], respectively. While the etiology of ODS ...

Bickers and Adams (1949) and Edwards, Norman and Roberts (1961) have presented detailed neuropathological examinations on two cases of hydrocephalus secondary to aqueductal stenosis in families with many hydrocephalic males. These, taken together, provide incontrovertible evidence of a specific syndrome with sex-linked recessive inheritance. In this paper further families are described in which...

ADAM metalloprotease-disintegrins share a common modular structure of functional domains for proteolytic, cell adhesion, and signaling interactions. The metalloprotease domain of oughly half of the known ADAMs contain an intact consensus metzincin catalytic site, and they are thus thought to function as active metalloproteases. The types of interactions mediated by ADAMs are expressly conspicu...

Experiments were performed to determine the effect of community composition on system function (bacterial production) in arctic Alaska. In this system bacterial production is controlled by: community, temperature, nutrients, and carbon source. Lake inlet and outlet communities in these experiments were different in composition, based on PCR-DGGE fingerprinting of 16S rDNA. For both communities,...
