Brucellosis in Man and Animals

In commenting on these experiments one should point out that the artificial respiration experiments wefe carried out with a technic which surely resulted in alkalosis due to actual hyperventilation. This impression is confirmed in the authors' footnote which states that glass electrode determinations in subsequent experiments indicated that the pH of the brain tissue was shifted toward the alka...

Probiotics in man and animals.

There is good evidence that the complex microbial flora present in the gastrointestinal tract of all warm-blooded animals is effective in providing resistance to disease. However, the composition of this protective flora can be altered by dietary and environmental influences, making the host animal susceptible to disease and/or reducing its efficiency of food utilization. What we are doing with...
