A 2.0% zinc phosphide pellet and a 0.001% brodifacoum bait gave the lowest percentage post-treatment activity in a field test in which broadcast applications were followed shortly by rain. There was not a clear difference in performance between the single-feeding toxicants and the multiple-feeding anticoagulants in this experiment. A 0.075% cholecalciferol bait gave control comparable to some r...

Two cases are reviewed, both of which developed tumoral calcinosis whilst receiving 1, alpha-hydroxy-cholecalciferol therapy. Tumoral calcinosis is an extreme form of peri-articular calcification, and its occurrence in patients with chronic renal failure is unusual. These peri-articular masses developed around the shoulders in both patients, and the action of 1, alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol as ...

the mass of a hypothetical right-handed W boson.The single differential NC (CC) cross sections dσ/dQ2, dσ/dx and dσ/dy are presented for Q2 > 185 GeV2 (Q2 > 200 GeV2). The reduced NC (CC) cross sections σ̃ are presented. The structure function xF̃3 is determined by combining the e+p NC reduced cross sections with the previously measured e−p [2] measurements. Reduced cross sections from a high-Q2 ...

1. 1alpha,25-Dihydroxy-25-hemisuccinate cholecalciferol has been synthesized and conjugated to bovine serum albumin. 2. This conjugate is immunogenic; when injected into rabbits antibodies of high affinity for 1alpha,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol were obtained. 3. Vitamin D metabolites lacking the 1alpha-hydroxy group were of lower cross-reactivity with the antibodies. 4. By using these antibodie...

Serum 25(OH)D levels are obtained when the disorder is suspected. Serum 1,25 (OH)D levels have no place in diagnosing the syndrome and will mislead the physician. Sunlight, artificial light, oral or parental vitamin D, or a combination, aimed at restoring circulating levels of 25(OH)D between 35 and 55 ng/ml is the treatment of choice. Controlled sunlight is the safest form of vitamin D repleti...

Over a period of time, two vitamin D parent compounds were elucidated. Ergocalciferol (D2) is synthesized from ergosterol in many plants, whereas cholecalciferol (D3) is derived from 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin of animals. Ultraviolet light transforms these compounds into 1, 25-diOH vitamin D3, the vitamin D metabolite generally considered the most active. Approximately 40 times more D2 is...
