Since the discovery by Enders, Weller, and Robbins in 1949' that poliovirus could multiply in cultures of non-nervous tissues, cell culture techniques have been used extensively in the studies of enteroviruses' for the last decade. The accumulated literature reveals that the usefulness of these culture methods is many-fold and may include virus isolation, virus multiplication studies, and serol...

Common Hepatitis A and B viruses Rare Hepatitis C and D (6) viruses, Epstein-Barr virus, Cytomegalovirus Among a subpopulation ofhomosexual men the risk ofinfection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has brought about a change in sexual behaviour with a reduction in the number of partners and "safer" sexual practices. This has resulted in a reduced incidence ofcommon sexually transmitt...

2 Abstract Nitrite in/on the skin has potent antimicrobial effects and is believed to act as a local nitric oxide (NO) reservoir capable of modulating dermal cell function. Using male Wistar rats we here show that nitrite, when applied in neutral aqueous solution to the skin surface, readily permeates the dermis to reach the systemic circulation and cause widespread nitros(yl)ation of tissue pr...

To understand “managed care,” one needs to understand the traditional model of health care organization and finance that managed care was intended to replace. That model was aptly characterized “Guild Free Choice” by Charles Weller to indicate that “free choice” was being used as a restraint of trade to block the emergence of any form of economic competition among doctors (Weller 1983). Its pri...

We describe an algorithm for obtaining the central primitive idempotents of the algebra associated with a monomial representation. As a consequence, we obtain its irreducible constituents. This is implemented in MAGMA, using an algorithm based on Dixon’s modular approach. In the case of permutation representations, we get a simplified version of the algorithms of Michler and Weller. c © 2006 El...
