Sir,?Will any of your readers kindly throw light on the pathogenicity of spirilla in the sputum and oblige? T have recentlv been getting a series of cases suffering from bronchitis, and sputum examination invariably shows the presence of spirilla (along with other organisms), which are thick, short, and have three to five threads each. I have made myself sure that they are not from gums or oral...

Results A higher proportion of women reported perceived coercion on the MPCS; however, this was only significant among those admitted involuntarily. Legal admission status was decisive for perceived coercion, except according to the CL for men. Other determinants were whether a patient admitted involuntary felt offended (for women on the CL, for men on the MPCS), suicide attempt (for women on t...

The cDNA coding for a cytoplasmic aldolase (cALD) of rice plant (Oryza sativa L. cv. Nihonbare) was cloned by screening from rice cDNA library with a cDNA probe (pMX71) specific to the maize cALD, kindly supplied by Freeling.M. (1). The sequence of two overlapping cDNA clones contained an open reading frame coding for a protein of 358 amino acids. Of the deduced amino acid sequence, 92% was ide...

One Saturday morning when Miriam was four, we went to breakfast at the Cracker Barrel. She asked if we could go look at the toys while we waited for our order. We walked hand in hand past the greeter and the greeter kindly smiled at us and said to Miriam "how nice you are spending the day with grandpa." I smiled and Miriam gripped my hand and said defiantly to the woman "he is my papa not my gr...

We have measured for the first time the weak lensing signal due to groups of galaxies. The groups are at intermediate redshifts, and have been identified in the CNOC2 field survey, which was kindly made available by Ray Carlberg and Howard Yee. The ensemble averaged group velocity dispersion, based on a preliminary selection of 59 groups, is found to be 〈σ2〉1/2 = 320 −54 km/s, which is in fair ...

AR 1: As you kindly suggested, the extension of the SeaWiFS period could strengthen our results. However, we have found that sufficient data are unavailable for statistics during January 2008 and December 2009 (i.e., 7 out of 24 month data are only available in the period. In addition, less than 2 daily data are available per month at the maximum). In particular, because SeaWiFS data from Janua...

Although Plesiomonas shigelloides, a water-borne bacterium of the Enterobacteriaceae family, usually causes self-limiting gastroenteritis with diarrhea, several cases of sepsis have been reported. We report the case of a 43-year-old male patient with hemochromatosis, pyruvate kinase deficiency, and asplenia via splenectomy who developed septic shock caused by P. shigelloides complicated by resp...

The purpose of the present work is to analyse an outdoor-indoor radio link (external transmitter, inner receiver), with the aim of estimating the impact of the hazardous effects on a transmitted impulsive signal at a frequency of 4 GHz. The necessary instrumentation and premises for the execution of experiment have been kindly provided in part by the Fondazione Ugo Bordoni and in part by the Ad...
