Taxonomic Review : Miridae Of The Nevada Test Site And The Western United States, Harry H. Knight

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

Approximately 5,000 specimens of plant bugs were collected at the Nevada Test Site between 1959 and 1965. Greatest emphasis was given to collecting from June 10–24, 1965, when the desert areas at the test site were unusually profuse with blooming vegetation. A total of 160 species representing 50 genera was taken at the test site. Of these, 7 genera and 96 species are new to science.

Comparative data for these and additional species from other parts of western North America are also included. These represent an additional 449 species, of which 5 genera and 148 species are new to science. …

Conservative Management Of Chronic Renal Failure, Roscoe R. Robinson

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The successful application of chronic dialysis and/or renal transplantation to patients with chronic uremia has sometimes obscured the fact that significant progress has also been made in our understanding of other therapeutic approaches to chronic renal failure. These less dramatic advances are commonly labeled "conservative" in nature, yet they have contributed decisively to the welfare of many uremic patients by improving their sense of wellbeing and delaying their need for such types of therapy as regularly repetitive dialysis. I shall comment first on certain general principles of management and then review some of the scientific therapeutic maneuvers and concepts that …

The Use Of A Computer In The Diagnosis Of Intracranial Tumours, G. H. Du Boulay

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Experiments in the use of a computer as an aid to diagnosis of intracranial tumours have been started at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in collaboration with The City University. The computer can estimate the probability that a patient has any given type of tumour by comparing the results of tests with those obtained in previous patients whose diagnoses have been established. The computer also determines which is the best investigation, from a statistical point of view, to perform next on the patient in order to confirm the diagnosis.

Lamb Mortality On Agricultural Research Stations, K P. Croker

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

Progress report of a study of lamb losses in experimental flocks on Department of Agriculture research stations in the agricultural areas.

THE major barrier to increased production by the West Australian sheep and wool industry is the shortage of sheep in the agricultural areas of the State, and much research has been directed towards overcoming this shortage.

The Amended Brands Act, M R. Gardiner

Cyanogenetic Plants Of Western Australia, T E H Aplin

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

THIS article deals with the more important cyanogenetic plants found in Western Australia.

It also deals with plants which have not been proved as cyanogenetic but which do produce toxic effects similar to those produced by cyanogenetic plants.

Symptoms, post mortem appearances and the treatment for affected stock are also dealt with.

This Could Happen Here : If Foot-And-Mouth Disease Came To Western Australia, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia

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

THE first outbreak would probably be on a piggery not far from a major port. But it might also appear among cattle or sheep in a similar area, or even on a cattle station in the North.

Mastitis In Western Australian Dairy Cattle, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia

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

IN 1964/65, as a first step towards a State-wide mastitis control programme, the Department of Agriculture undertook a survey of mastitis in West Australian dairy herds.

Cirrhosis: What Is It?, Charles M. Caravati

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

An effort has been made to present a panoramic view of cirrhosis. It has been indicated that many agents may initiate an intrahepatic process which may progress to advanced cirrhosis, that the characteristic abnormalities may cause both functional and pathologic multi-system changes, and that these encompass almost every body structure. As the altered structural and physiological changes progress, hepatic decompensation develops, and this often is terminal.

Amino-Acid Absorption, Bertram Fleshler

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Most, if not all, ingested protein is transported across the gut as its constituent amino acids. Thus, the way the gut handles amino acids is an important physiologic problem, and their mishandling by the gut in disease states represents an important threat to general body activities. I propose to discuss some of the knowledge that has been gathered over the past 10 to 15 years concerning the mechanisms of amino acid absorption. The data to be presented have been gathered from three major kinds of studies: the studies of in vitro model systems, physiologic studies of humans, and studies of …

Mechanism Of Energy Transformations In Biological Membranes, David E. Green

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

One of the most fundamental problems of biology is how energy is transduced in living systems. It is a problem that has fascinated and absorbed a great many distinguished chemists, biochemists and physicists. I believe we have reached a stage in the development of our knowledge of the mechanism of energy transduction which now permits us to see the direction which leads to the final solution. It is with this development that I shall be concerned in this evening's lecture.

Bluetongue Of Sheep, M R. Gardiner

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

BLUETONGUE is a serious disease of sheep, mainly of introduced European breeds, throughout the African continent.

It is maintained there by wild and domestic ruminants in the presence of certain insect vectors (carriers).

The disease has probably existed there from immemorial times among the indigenous ruminants, emerging as a recognised disease only when the much more susceptible European breeds were brought into the continent.
