of Ten Cases Presenting Some Unusual Features By R. S. ALLISON, M.D., M.R.C.P.(LOND.), AND W. H. PATTERSON, M.D. NEURITIS is a common complaint and a term often loosely used to describe indefinite sensory symptoms. Polyneuritis or peripheral neuritis is, however, a definite entity and much less common. Harris (1) classifies its causes into four main groups (a) Caused by the absorption of poison...

Mercury is found in the environment as elemental mercury, inorganic mercury or organic mercury (ethyl-, methyl-, alkyl-, or phenylmercury). In our environment it is present in thermometers, thermostats, dental amalgams, paint, cosmetic products, laxatives, diuretics and antiseptics. Organic mercury is the most toxic and most frequent form of mercury exposure, found in fish, poultry, pesticides ...

Antibiotics are the subgroup of organic anti-infective agents that are derived from bacteria or that are toxic to other bacteria. The molecular polarizabilities of a few penicillin group of compounds are estimated by semi-empirical δ-function model and molecular vibration methods. Diamagnetic susceptibilities and Electron ionization cross-sections of these molecules are also evaluated. The resu...

A catalytic method for the decarboxylative coupling of 2-(azaaryl)carboxylates with aryl halides is described. The decarboxylative cross-coupling presented is mediated by a system catalytic in both palladium and copper without requiring stoichiometric amounts of organometallic reagents or organoboronic acids. This method circumvents additional synthetic steps required to prepare 2-azaaryl organ...

While there has been much work on finding and developing top performers in the workplace, less attention has been focused on how to manage those workers who are harmful to organizational performance. In the most dramatic form, such workers can generate enormous regulatory and legal liabilities for the firm, harm its reputation, and invalidate its corporate social responsibility program. We expl...
