At the root of applications for substructure and similarity searching, reaction retrieval, synthesis planning, drug discovery, and physicochemical property prediction is the need for a machine-readable representation of a structure. Systematic nomenclature is unsuitable, and notations and fragment codes have been superseded, except in certain specific applications. Connection tables are widely ...

Since the end of the 1991 Gulf War, there have been reports of unexplained, multisymptom illnesses afflicting veterans who consistently report more symptoms than do nondeployed veterans. One of the many possible exposures suspected of causing chronic multisymptom illnesses Gulf War veterans is squalene, thought to be present in anthrax vaccine. We examined the relationship between squalene anti...

Controversy has prevailed for many years relating to the safety of one-stage and two-stage total hip arthroplasty (THA) for bilateral disease. We performed a meta-analysis of 1460 studies of which 5 prospective studies met our inclusion criteria. A total of 579 patients had two-stage procedures and 334 had one-stage surgery. The studies showed a low heterogeneity (I2 =0%) allowing pooling of da...

Interpretive zone size breakpoints for diffusion tests with 30-micrograms cefotiam disks are diameters of greater than or equal to 18 mm for susceptible and less than or equal to 14 mm for resistant strains. The standard control strains Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 should both give zones 27 to 33 mm in diameter. Tests with 579 clinical isolates yielded an una...

In the northern hemisphere, Caribou (Rangifer spp.) populations are known to be infested with the skin-penetrating ectoparasite, Hypoderma tarandi (Diptera; Oestridae). Although regarded as host specific, H. tarandi has been reported from other species, and has become of increasing concern as a zoonosis infecting humans. In February 2012, concurrent with the hunting of muskoxen, we examined car...
