comparative value of this drug with that of other medicinal agents which have already received the sanction of experience, amongst the foremost of which may be mentioned the wet-pack quinine, atropine, aconite, &c., administered subcutaneously. I have tried the last three side by side with salicin, and by thermometric observations during the past two years I have failed to find any superiority ...

Introduction Natural health products (e.g., vitamins, minerals, herbal medicines) are frequently used for musculoskeletal pain and there is an increasing amount of high quality research being done to test the efficacy of these interventions. Low back pain is a very common condition and individuals suffering from these conditions are frequently seeking out these products. Objective The objective...

The isolation and identification of a new sub-genus I Salmonella is described. The complete antigenic formula is 3,10:z29:enx; the serotype has been named Salmonella everleigh. The strain is atypical in that it ferments salicin, produces indole, and fails to produce acid in tartrate media.

Most herbivores eat more and survive better when they have access to a variety of foods. One explanation involves the detoxification of plant secondary metabolites (PSMs). By feeding from a variety of plants that contain different classes of PSMs, animals can use multiple detoxification pathways and presumably consume more food. Although popular, this theory is difficult to test because it requ...

Bitter taste stimuli are detected by a diverse family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) expressed in gustatory cells. Each bitter taste receptor (TAS2R) responds to an array of compounds, many of which are toxic and can be found in nature. For example, human TAS2R16 (hTAS2R16) responds to β-glucosides such as salicin, and hTAS2R38 responds to thiourea-containing molecules such as glucosino...

The name Proteus penneri sp. nov. is proposed for a group of organisms previously called Proteus vulgaris indole negative or P. vulgaris biogroup 1. All of these strains were salicin negative, esculin negative, and chloramphenicol resistant (zone size, less than 14 mm). DNA relatedness studies indicated that when DNA from P. penneri strain 1808-73 was labeled and tested against unlabeled DNA fr...
