Abnormal numbers of basophilic granulocytes have been observed in inflammatory reactions in the dermis of patients with ulcerative colitis, interstitial eystitis, and contact dermatitis (1, The patients were divided into groups of five, and a four day series was done on each group. On day ONE of each series, a group of five was injected with .00002 mg of freshly mixed purified protein derivativ...

Saralasin, 10 microgram/kg per min, caused an immediate rise in blood pressure in 52 of 57 (91.2%) hypertensive patients. The increase in diastolic pressure averaged 18.8 +/- 1.83 mm Hg (mean +/- SE) in normal renin patients on a normal salt intake. This immediate pressor response was absent in only five high renin patients and, conversely, was very large in three low renin patients. Direct art...

The results obtained by the serological testing of 38 malaria cases are reported in this paper. The indirect fluorescent antibody test (FAT) was used. Plasmodium gallinaceum was used as antigen. Antibodies were detected in 84% of the patients. The results were more satisfactory in cases affected by falciparum malaria. These results suggest that the FAT with P. gallinaceum as antigen can be rega...

In 100 subjects the cholecystokinin test has been used in conjunction with the secretin test of gall bladder function. The response of the normal gall bladder to a standard dose of pancreozymin has been studied and the results in patients following cholecystectomy and in the presence of biliary tract disease have been recorded and contrasted with the results obtained by the secretin test and or...

A 44-year-old Caucasian male was transferred to our hospital for increased concentrations of thyroid hormones and constitutional symptoms, including fatigue and muscle tenderness of 6 weeks’ duration. Four weeks before admission, the patient’s primary care physician found a diffuse goiter and ordered thyroid hormone testing (Table 1). Two weeks later, the patient developed generalized muscle pa...

This paper addresses psychologists–psychoanalysts in particular–and engineers, as well as others with an interest in technology and a proclivity for critical thinking. We hope to grasp the attention of persons who are skeptical or even uneasy with regard to modern electronic machines. It is important to realize that the mathematician and information theoretician Alan Turing was the first to pro...

(CHEST 2005; 127:1045–1050) A 70-year-old white man was referred for evaluation of pulmonary infiltrates and bronchiectases associated with cough and constitutional symptoms. He was in his usual state of health until he acquired B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in 1990. The lymphoma was localized to his stomach, and he was treated with surgical resection; chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, vi...

Most reported studies of gastric emptying in humans have been concerned primarily with the regulation of pyloric passage of a single-phase meal. However, Wiggins and Dawson (1961) sampled intestinal contents in man after ingestion of a mixed meal, and found that the proportions of fat and water recovered were different from those of the meal. Harkins, Longenecker, and Sarett (1964) observed in ...
