Principles of the design and administration of clinical stereopsis tests are outlined. Once the presence of the distinct sense of the third dimension by binocular vision alone and without help from monocular cues has been established in a patient, the examination can proceed to the measurement of stereoscopic acuity. Best results are obtained with high-contrast, sharp, well-articulated and uncr...

Their observations determine the expenditure, first by the drug companies and then by the public, of some millions of dollars a year. Even the law recognizes the fact that no accumulation of pharmacology, how...

~-Amino-6-mercapto-9fl-D-ribofuranosylpurine (thioguanosine) has been used orally and intravenously in the t reatment of 82 patients with leukemias and disseminated tumors. The oral dose of thioguanosine required to produce toxic or therapeutic responses was less than half the oral dose of thioguanine necessary to produce comparable results calculated on a molar basis. However, the two compound...
