Gamma-Ray Imaging Detector For Small Animal Research, Andrew Gerard Weisenberger Jan 1998

Gamma-Ray Imaging Detector For Small Animal Research, Andrew Gerard Weisenberger

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

A novel radiation imaging technology for in vivo molecular imaging in small mammals is described. The goal of this project is to develop a new type of imaging detector system suitable for real-time in vivo probe imaging studies in small animals. This technology takes advantage of the gamma-ray and x-ray emission properties of the radioisotope iodine 125 (125I) which is employed as the label for molecular probes. The radioisotope 125I is a gamma-ray emitting radioisotope that can be commercially obtained already attached to biomedically interesting molecules to be used as tracers for biomedical and molecular biology research.;The isotope 125I decays …

Observations Of A Protistan Disease Similar To Qpx In Mercenaria Mercenaria (Hard Clams) From The Coast Of Massachusetts, Roxanna Smolowitz,, Dale Leavit, Frank Perkins

VIMS Articles

During the summer and fall of 1995, in clam aquaculture leases at two locations on the coast of Massachusetts, significant mortalities were observed to occur primarily in 112" role="presentation" style="font-size: 0.9px; display: inline-block; position: relative;">- to 2-year old hard clams (Mercenaria mercenaria,quahog) planted in the leases. Examination of hard clams from those leases suggested a parasite similar to QPX (Quahog Parasite Unknown), as described by Whyte, S. K., Cawthorn, R. J., and McGladdery, S. E. (1994,Can. Dis. Ag. Org.19, 129–136), was responsible for the poor condition of affected clams and the resulting high mortality. In …
