The resistive properties of various tissues surrounding the heart were investigated in a number of living clogs. Alternating currents of a frequency varying between 10 and 10,000 e.p.s. have been used for this purpose. Technical problems associated with such measurements are analyzed. The results show that the resistive properties of most tissues are comparable and that the resistivity decrease...

Interferon is a popular topic today and a textbook on the subject attracts the eye of the casual and generally uninformed reader. As with all popular entities, especially those with putative curative powers, interferon (or, correctly, the interferons) is surrounded by much myth. In this volume Dr. Yabrow has done little to separate fact from fancy. Interferon and Non-Specific Resistance attempt...

Background and Objective: Enterococcal infections are considered the most common nosocomial infections. Nowadays, enterococci show high resistance to common antibiotics, especially vancomycin. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium is one of the most common nosocomial infections, which is included in the World Health Organization priority pathogens list for research and development of new an...

background: integrons are the major reasons of multidrug resistance (mdr) among enteropathogenic bacteria. occurrence of horizontal gene transfer between integron-carrying microorganisms and other enteric bacteria may increase the rate of emergence of integron-associated antibiotic resistance. objectives: the objective of this study was to investigate class 1 integrons among members of enteropa...

basal stem rot caused by sclerotinia sclerotiorum (lib.) de bary is one of the most important diseases of sunflower. quantitative trait loci (qtl) implicated in partial resistance to two isolates of s. sclerotiorum (ssu107 and sskh41) were investigated using f9 recombinant inbred lines (rils) from the cross between sunflower parental lines pac2 and rha266. experiments were conducted in complete...

a study was conducted to assess the durable resistance in a near isogenic line of spring wheat (triticum aestivalis l.), possessing resistance gene yr-18 to some isolates (race specific resistance) of stripe rust (puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici), namely thatcher yr-18 and durable resistance of an cultivar of spring wheat to all isolates of stripe rust (race non- specific resistance), namel...
