A Specimen Showing “Pink Spot”

Biochemical Research into Schizophrenia in Relation to Pink Spot Excretion

During the 19th century concepts concerning the aetiology of mental illnesses were changing. The idea that they were due to a disturbance in the chemistry of the body was gradually developing, (Conolly 1856 and Thudicham 1884) but despite the advanced and progressive ideas of psychiatrists a hundred years ago, today our understanding of the aetiology of schizophrenia appears to be no more clear...

Newborn dried blood spot screening: residual specimen storage issues.

Traditional newborn dried blood spot screening (NDBS) has expanded in recent years to include upwards of 50 different conditions in many states. Once the screening tests are complete, the residual blood specimens (RBSs) that remain are most often available for quality assurance and public health research. The articles by Botkin et al1 and Bombard et al2 contained in this issue of Pediatrics inv...

Isolation of an unidentified pink-pigmented bacterium in a clinical specimen.

An unidentified pink-pigmented bacterium isolated from a clinical specimen is reported. The organism was oxidase, urease, and catalase positive; it grew on Thayer-Martin and MacConkey media. The isolate is possibly similar to an unnamed taxon (G.L. Gilardi and Y.C. Faur, J. Clin. Microbiol. 20:626-629, 1984); however, it had unique characteristics of nonmotility with no flagellum detectable and...

Monte Carlo Simulation of Single Spot and Multi-Spot Welded Lap Shear Specimen by Using Finite Element Method

This study represents simulation of single spot and multi spot welded specimen by using Monte carol method i.e. Latin hypercube sampling. A three dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis of multi-spot welded lap shear specimen is performed and uncertainty in shear strength of spot weld is analyzed. Thickness and nugget radius are randomly varied within effective range and their effect on t...
