Polarographic Studies of Human Blood Sera

R. BrdiEka, in 1937, in a note to the editor of Nature (1), reported the application of the polarographic method to cancer diagnosis, through the measurement of certain sulphur-containing amino acids present in the proteins in human blood serum. Brdicka made tests on the serum from 67 different persons; 32 of these gave an abnormally low polarographic protein effect. These 32 cases were shown b...

Studies on the procurement of blood coagulation factor VIII: effects of plasma freezing rate and storage conditions on cryoprecipitate quality.

Plasma was frozen and stored in different ways before processing to cryoprecipitate by a standard thawing technique. Freezing rate was found to be important with slow freezing having a deleterious effect on cryoprecipitate quality. Storage of frozen plasma at constant temperatures for periods up to six months had no effect on the quality of cryoprecipitate, with no difference being found for pl...

PART VIII Consumption and the Environment

The consumption of the average U.S. citizen requires eighteen tons of natural resources per person per year and generates an even higher volume of wastes (including household, industrial, mining, and agricultural wastes). Some of these wastes are released to the atmosphere, rivers, and oceans; others are landfilled or incinerated; a small proportion are recycled. The standard conception of econ...
