Comparative studies of the retention of various yttrium 90 radiocolloids and of noncolloidal yttrium 90 chloride were performed in rabbits with arthritis induced in one knee. Two colloids, the citrate and resin forms, showed a statistically significant difference in retention between inflamed and normal knees, isotope being retained better in the normal knee. Marked differences were found in th...

A 56-year-old man has been admitted on several prior occasions for left groin abcesses related to injection drug use. Comorbid disorders include diabetes and tobacco abuse. Recent test results for HIV and TB (PPD test) were negative. On past admissions related to intravenous abuse of heroin and cocaine, the patient was treated with antibiotics and incision with drainage. A CXR and subsequent CT...

The intuitive control of upper-limb prostheses requires a man/machine interface that directly exploits biological signals. Here, we define and experimentally test an offline man/machine interface that takes advantage of the discharge timings of spinal motor neurons. The motor-neuron behaviour is identified by deconvolution of the electrical activity of muscles reinnervated by nerves of a missin...

Pituitary gland implants from other than an identical twin cannot be expected to function in man, whether the source be man or animal, but may act as a temporary source of hormone because of their ACTH content. The gland also contains other hormones and may be better than ACTH because of the slow absorption of hormone. Favourable results have been reported by Edstrom (1950) and Edstrom and Thun...

SUMMARY Granulocytic leukemia is a rare disease in the rat; it seldom occurs spontaneously although chemical agents and ionizing radiation may increase the incidence in some rat strains. The disease resembles granulocytic leukemia in man and the leukemic cells possess a number of interesting enzymatic and other features. Granulocytic leukemia is readily transplantable and the leukemic cells gro...

Although several species of animals have been reported to be susceptible to staphylococcal enterotoxin, Dack (1956) stated ". . . no experimental animal has been found that will react to the small amount of enterotoxin sufficient to cause severe reactions in man." Of the few animals regularly used to determine the presence of toxin in test samples of material, the Macaca mulatta monkey fed by s...

This study aims to develop a guidance and counseling program improve the academic intelligence of class X MAN Purwakarta students. is based on initial findings results need assessment using grit scale instrument which shows that aspect still low, where students who have low tend disrupt development learning in class.
