Observations on Leprosy, &c.
pulmonary mucous membrane. The strength recommended is Siij. or 3iv. of Calvert's No. 5 to Jx. or Jxii. of water. The existence of a " contagium vivum" or leprosygerm capable of hereditary transmission and conveyance by infection has not been as yet demonstrated ; still the treatment recommended might be found beneficial as a matter of experience apart from theory. Dr. Johnston cites evidence i...
متن کاملPhage-conversion to hemagglutinin production in Clostridium botulinum types C and D.
Five toxigenic strains of Clostridium botulinum types C and D were incubated at 37 degrees C for 7 days in 15 ml of the following media: LYG medium, cooked-meat medium, egg meat medium, and N-Z-amine medium. The supernatants of these cultures were tested for hemagglutinin production with 1% erythrocytes obtained from mice, guinea pigs, chickens, sheep, monkeys, and humans. Four toxigenic strain...
متن کاملAdministration of spores of nontoxigenic Clostridium difficile strain M3 for prevention of recurrent C. difficile infection: a randomized clinical trial.
IMPORTANCE Clostridium difficile is the most common cause of health care-associated infection in US hospitals. Recurrence occurs in 25% to 30% of patients. OBJECTIVE To determine the safety, fecal colonization, recurrence rate, and optimal dosing schedule of nontoxigenic C. difficile strain M3 (VP20621; NTCD-M3) for prevention of recurrent C. difficile infection (CDI). DESIGN, SETTING, AND ...
متن کاملRefining membership degrees obtained from fuzzy C-means by re-fuzzification
Fuzzy C-mean (FCM) is the most well-known and widely-used fuzzy clustering algorithm. However, one of the weaknesses of the FCM is the way it assigns membership degrees to data which is based on the distance to the cluster centers. Unfortunately, the membership degrees are determined without considering the shape and density of the clusters. In this paper, we propose an algorithm which takes th...
متن کاملOn multi-strain model for Hepatitis C
In this paper we present a multi-strain model for hepatitis C virus (HCV) including an immune response term. The model is presented and discussed. Also we argue that the added multi-strain term represents some basic properties of the immune system and that it should be included to study longer term behavior of the disease.
