The availability of clones of nucleic acid (NA) specific for genes of most viral and other microbiological organisms has made possible various approaches to search for such sequences in clinical materials using hybridisation techniques. Radioactive or otherwise labelled NA clones or sequencespecific synthetic oligonucleotides (ONs) act as molecular probes in the search for complementary NA targ...

A 38 year old woman was thought to have bilateral polycystic ovaries and an absence of pelvic or abdominal adhesions at diagnostic laparoscopy. Post-operative transvaginal ultrasound noted bilateral homogeneous hypo-echoic masses with low-level echoes consistent with endometriomas. Transvaginal aspiration was unsuccessful due to the viscosity of the cyst contents. At second laparoscopy severe a...

Informatics education has been in a cul-de-sac for several years (not only in Hungary), being less and less able to meet the needs of the industry and higher education. In addition, the latest PISA survey shows that – to put it a little strongly – the majority of the x-, yand zgenerations are digital illiterates. The aim of this paper to examine what could be done in order to improve the situat...

On examination the abdomen was seen to be somewhat distended below, but there were no linese albicantes. There was a tense, smooth, elastic, rounded central tumour ascending from the pelvis to near the umbilicus and surmounted by a smaller tumour shaped like a somewhat enlarged uterus. On inspecting the vulva the labia and meatus were healthy, but behind the meatus there was only a shallow cul-...

Subsurface cisternae (SSC's) have been described in several types of conduct ing tissue (1-6), and in a cul tured neoplastic cell line (7). In some of these cases (2, 3, 7), paired SSC's appeared opposite each other in apposing cells, a configurat ion referred to as subsurface confronting cisternae (7). This note demonstra tes the existence of SSC's in a t ransient confronting configurat ion in...

The growth of a mouse leukemia virus in an established mouse cell line was examined after the line became contami nated with an unidentified Mycoplasma species. The con taminated cultures grew well in small plastic cultures dishes, but they could not be propagated in larger roller bottles unless the growth medium was changed frequently. Cells from A/ycop/flÃ-/MÃ-J-contaminated and Mycoplasma-fr...
