On asthenic dysentery

Neuromuscular facilitation and asthenic synapses.

Facilitation in neuromuscular junction of frog, i. e. successive enhancement of muscle action potential by repetitive stimulation, has been considered to be due to the recruitment of numbers of muscle fibres excited through junctions. It has been generally accepted that no neuromuscular facilitation is observed in the mammalian junctions (BROWN and HARVEY, 1941), except in curarized or fatigued...

Already cases have been reported in the Indian Medical Gazette showing the efficacy of the vaccine in old standing and chronic cases. In this jail the treatment has for some ti...

Momose's hydrocinnamic acid reaction on dysentery bacilli.

While investigating the growth inhibitory influence of aromatic acids on various strains of microorganisms, Momose observed and reported in 1930 that pseudodysentery bacilli when grown on agar medium containing hydrocinnamic acid or its sodium salt, stained the medium in reddish brown, while those strains of shigella, typhoid, paratyphoid A, B, and coli groups did not show this coloring reactio...
