Studies On Uveitis Part Ii: Hypotheses With Case Reports, Philip C. Hessburg Mar 1978

Studies On Uveitis Part Ii: Hypotheses With Case Reports, Philip C. Hessburg

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A number of patients with and without uveitis are used to show that this study of aqueous microbiology suggests the following hypotheses: 1. Routine techniques currently used in most microbiology laboratories overlook classical and variant bacteria which might be isolated from clinical specimens with improved microbiological techniques. 2. Bacterial forms may be present in other ocular tissue when not present in the aqueous. 3. Polymicrobial infections probably occur rather frequently, especially in chronic or subacute inflammatory states. 4. Alterations in various host factors may subject some persons to a greater incidence of inflammatory episodes including uveitis. 5. Antibiotics used in …

The Quantitative Determination Of 3-Oxo-Bile Acids, W. T. Beher, G. J. Lin, J. Sanfield, S. Stradnieks Mar 1978

The Quantitative Determination Of 3-Oxo-Bile Acids, W. T. Beher, G. J. Lin, J. Sanfield, S. Stradnieks

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A new method for the rapid quantification of 3-oxo-bile acids has been developed. From 5 to 120 μg of oxo-acid in aqueous or ethanolic media are reduced with sodium borohydride. The resulting 3α- and 3β-hydroxy acids are then oxidized in a reaction catalyzed by 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, during which nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is reduced to NADH. The absorbance of the reaction mixture is determined at 340 nm and is directly proportional to the amount of 3-oxo-acid in the original sample. The method is fully compatible with that used in determining 3α-hydroxy-bile acids.

Immunocytochemistry At The Electron-Microscopic Level, David S. Papermaster Jan 1978

Immunocytochemistry At The Electron-Microscopic Level, David S. Papermaster

UCHC Articles - Research

Since the early slxtles, a number of reports have been published concerning immunocytochemical techniques for the detection of intracellular constituents at the electron microscope level. The· initial studies were made possible by the introduction by Singer of ferritin-tagged antibodies which could be visualized in the electron microscope. From all the procedures described later, immunocytochemical methods at the electron microscope can be classified into two main categories: 1) preembedding staining and 2) postembedding staining techniques.


Buying Veterinary Products : Read The Label First, G A L Ward Jan 1978

Buying Veterinary Products : Read The Label First, G A L Ward

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Chenicals for animal health, and processed feeds must be registered and labelled.

Registration is intended to insure that products are effective for the purpose they are sold, and safe when used according to instructions.

It is important to read the lable to understand the correct use of the product.


Ethological Considerations In The Experimental Study Of Lizard Behavior, Neil Greenberg Jan 1978

Ethological Considerations In The Experimental Study Of Lizard Behavior, Neil Greenberg

Neil Greenberg

The importance of an ethological approach to the experimental study of an unfamiliar species is described and several of its problems discussed. The selection of units of behavior is a crucial first step in the development of a behavior inventory. The correlation of a behavioral unit with a particular context is necessary to ascribe function to that to that unit and to develop an ethogram. Methods of studying lizards under controlled conditions are described and discussed. Constraints on behavior that must be considered in an experimental study include the microclimate and its thermal qualities, food and water, shelter utilization, and …

1978 Nebraska Beef Cattle Report, Leo E. Lucas, H. W. Ottoson, T. E. Hartung Jan 1978

1978 Nebraska Beef Cattle Report, Leo E. Lucas, H. W. Ottoson, T. E. Hartung

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Retail value of wholesale meat cuts is influenced by quality and the proportion of lean, fat and bone. Wholesale cuts vary widely in value; for example, loins and ribs sell for more than rounds, rounds more than chucks, and chucks more than flanks, plates, or briskets. This value difference has prompted many attempts to find breeding and feeding systems that will increase the proportion of high-priced cuts.

Results shown here characterize the composition of carcass wholesale cuts from 14 breed combinations that were part of a cattle germ plasm evaluation program at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center, Clay Center, …


Controlling Annual Ryegrass Toxicity, C H. Trotman Jan 1978

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Eight years of intensive work has changed annual ryegrass toxicity from an unknown killer to a manageable problem.


Some Basic Facts About Primary Blowflies, N Monzu Jan 1978

Some Basic Facts About Primary Blowflies, N Monzu

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Research has begun on blowfly species attacking sheep in Western Australia. Already this research has indicated the importance of a species in Western Australia which is not a problem in the Eastern States.

Future management of sheep flocks to minimise fly strike may require recognition of the differences between blowfly species. This article gives a description of the primary species - those which can initiate strikes.

Pigs May Need More Protein, N W. Godfrey

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Results of trials indicate that meatmeal based rations of 18 to 20 per cent protein may improve carcase quality and give better returns.

Prehistoric Cremations From Nogales, Arizona *, Karl J. Reinhard, Jeff H. Shipman Jan 1978

Prehistoric Cremations From Nogales, Arizona *, Karl J. Reinhard, Jeff H. Shipman

Karl Reinhard Publications

In October, 1969, the Highway Salvage Section of the Arizona State Museum conducted emergency salvage excavations in conjunction with the construction of the Tucson-Nogales Highway. Ten cremations were recovered from a backhoe trench which had been placed within the city limits of Nogales, Arizona. Analysis of the cremations indicated cultural contact between the Trincheras culture of Sonora, Mexico, and the Hohokam culture of the Santa Cruz River Valley in southern Arizona.


The Influence Of Isotonic And Isokinetic Weight Training On Vertical Jumping Proficiency, Jeffrey Thomas Spielman Jan 1978

The Influence Of Isotonic And Isokinetic Weight Training On Vertical Jumping Proficiency, Jeffrey Thomas Spielman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of isotonic and isokinetic weight training on vertical jumping proficiency as measured by a modified vertical jump. The subjects were college students enrolled in the Fitness and Lifetime Activities Program at South Dakota State University in Brookings, South Dakota. Isotonic and isokinetic training were assigned to the two experimental groups with the third group serving as controls. Training for the experimental groups consisted of isotonic circuit training on a Universal weight machine and isokinetic training on a Leaper machine. Data analysis included a reliability and reproducibility assessment, and a one-way …
