By J. D. FELDMAN, M. RACHMILEWITZ AND 0. STEIN I N THE COURSE OF STUDYING THE EFFECT of the adrenal cortex and its hormones omi hemolysis, a uniform pattern of beukocyte response was noted.’2 ‘ 13 The reaction consisted of marked leukocytosis, neutrophilia amid eosimiophibia throughout the period of red cell destruction. A search of the medical literature oh this aspect of hemolysis revealed a ...

described the first series of adrenalectoniies amid Luft and Olivecrona (21) reported on hypophysectoniny as a treatment for advanced cancer of the breast. When patients are selected at ran dom for these procedures only 25 % obtain a worthwhile remissioni (12), and attempts to predict response using cli nical features, histologic differentiation, or calcium metab olism (13, 18, 23) have not fou...

IN PREVIOUS STUI)IES imivolvimsg acute cross-circulat-ioms experiment-s in rats, evidence was obtained that leukocyt-es transfused by this method were not imnsediately destroyed. ‘ 2 It was postulated that disappearance of t-ramisfused leukocytes fromn the arterial blood of irradiated leukopenic animals represemsted redistribut-ioms of these cells into a depleted body leukocyte “pool,” rather t...

The dispute over chlorinated contaminant cleanups is heating up amid claims about benefits of natural processes.

As a result of such studies, it has been shown that the genes m’esponsihle for hemogbobins C amid S are very proi)ably ableies,m amid that. the genetic locus involved iii the produmction of these two types of abnormual heniogbobin is imidependemit of the thalassemia locus,2’ although the latter conclusion is complicated by the growing r...

By T. C. PRENTICE AND E. A. MIIIAND T HE EXISTENCE of a humoral erythropoietic stimulating factor which controls red cell productiomi has been suspected for mnamiy years.

In this study, we present a BCC detector based on confocal Raman spectroscopy using maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) and fuzzy algorithm. The preprocessing step consists of data normalization with minmax method and dimension reduction with principal components analysis (PCA). To enhance the classification performance, we divide Raman spectra into two significant protein bands, i.e., Amid ...
