Felty's Syndrome: Radio-active Isotope Studies and Splenectomy

Felty's Syndrome. Radio-active Isotope Studies and Splenectomy.

Felty (1924) described five patients with chronic arthritis, splenomegaly, leucopenia, and pigmentation. Since then the association between rheumatoid arthritis, splenomegaly, and leucopenia has been referred to as Felty's syndrome, although it is generally believed that it is not a separate disease entity (Curtis and Pollard, 1940; Short, Bauer, and Reynolds, 1957). The aetiology of the leucop...

Localization of the placenta by means of a radio-active isotope.

Radio-isotope investigations in primary myeloid metaplasia.

Chromium-51 and iron-59 studies in patients with primary myeloid metaplasia show that the anaemia of the condition is dependent on depression of marrow activity, aggravated in about one-third of cases by accelerated red cell destruction to which the marrow compensatory response is inadequate. Surface measurements of isotope activity assist in assessing dependence on extramedullary sites for ery...

postnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)

1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...
