An adult cow with nonregenerative anemia was found to be infected with Eperythrozoon wenyoni and Trypanosoma theileri. Further laboratory testing revealed hypoalbuminemia, hypogammaglobulinemia, decreased numbers of circulating B lymphocytes, and presence of a serum immunoglobulin G1 fragment. Reduced B-lymphocyte reg
The cortex of the anterior ectosylvian gyrus and adjoining ectosylvian and suprasylvian sulci was explored with tungsten microelectrodes to determine the distribution of responses to light cutaneous stimulation in barbiturate-anesthetized cats. Recordings were spaced between 125 and 250 micrometers and, in several cas
A logical, systematic approach to the interpretation of diagnostic biochemical profiles in patients with hypercalcemia has been attempted through the use of algorithms (decision trees). A tentative algorithm (ALG-I) and an expanded and modified version (ALG-II) were compared for effectiveness in tests of 80 patients w

In 1979-1980, a distinct outbreak of hepatitis A occurred among homosexual men in Stockholm, Sweden , city and county area. The epidemic comprised 145 known cases. It began in December 1979 and progressed in waves during the following 10 months, with three distinct peaks separated b
A computerized tomography (CT) of the brain was carried out on 40 manic-depressive patients and 40 controls in order to study the organic characteristics of the brain in manic-depressive psychosis. In the age group of 49 years and below, the left septum-caudate distance (LSC) showed a lower value in the manic-depressi

The data suggest that: The recent outbreak of KS and PCP is a single epidemic, that of immunosuppression among homosexual men and drug abusers. The public health significance of this epidemic is probably underestimated, and clinicians should be alert to more subtle indications of immunosuppression, such as nonfatal op

A 35-year-old white Jewish homosexual man who had undergone surgery and chemotherapy for an embryonal carcinoma of the testis subsequently developed Kaposi s sarcoma. The neoplasm involved the skin as well as visceral tissues. Tissue derived from a biopsy specimen of one of the skin lesions was used in the in situ hyb

Sequential isolates of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) from a child with severe combined immunodeficiency were examined for sensitivity to acyclovir . Early intravenous courses of acyclovir resulted in dramatic clinical improvement and were associated with the isolation of se
The intracellular precursor polyproteins of simian sarcoma-simian-associated virus [SiSV(SiAV)] were compared to the intracellular proteins of the human retrovirus isolates. HL23V, HEL12V and A1476V, by radioimmunoprecipitation followed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and tryptic peptide analysis. Cells infe

Nonrandom chromosome rearrangements of chromosome 22 have been identified in different human malignancies. As a result of Southern blot hybridization of a c-sis probe to DNA s from mouse-human somatic cell hybrids, the human homolog (c-sis) of the transforming gene of simian sarcoma virus was assigned to chromosome 22
