PENICILLIN THERAPY WITH PROLONGED INTERVAL DOSAGE SCHEDULES

High dosage procaine penicillin combined with ampicillin in the treatment of gonorrhoea after failure with standard procaine penicillin dosage.

This is a preliminary report suggesting a method of management of cases of gonorrhoea in which there has been failure of treatment with standard doses of penicillin. Over the past 10 years there has been a steady increase in the number of strains of gonococci isolated which show an increased resistance to the action of penicillin (Curtis and Wilkinson, 1958). The Medical Research Council (1961)...

Variable-ratio schedules as variable-interval schedules with linear feedback loops.

The mathematical theory of linear systems has been used successfully to describe responding on variable-interval (VI) schedules. In the simplest extension of the theory to the variable-ratio (VR) case, VR schedules are treated as if they were VI schedules with linear feedback loops. The assumption entailed by this approach, namely, that VR and VI-plus-linear-feedback schedules are equivalent, w...

Tlis book was written in an effort to simplify and condense the literature relating to reflexes. There are 465 references listed at the end of the book, and under the discussion of each reflex the literature is reviewed. An example of the effort to simplify the terminology used in naming reflexes is interesting. A diagram of the foot and ankle shows the places from which a tap with the reflex h...
