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 echinococcosis. XXI. Electron microscopical observations on general structure of larval tissue of multilocular Echinococcus.

Studies of drugs given before anaesthesia. XXI. Droperidol.

Droperidol 5 mg and 10 mg and diazepam 10 mg were compared in premedication studies with morphine 10 mg and saline. Droperidol caused less hypnosis than either morphine or diazepam, and its use was associated with a much higher incidence of anxiety among patients than was observed in the group who had received saline only. Dizziness and restlessness were also significant features of the action ...

A sensory perspective of effect of feeds on flavor in meats: poultry meats.

Reduction of feed costs is a major concern of poultry producers. However, replacement of components of a corn-soybean diet with a lower-cost alternative requires the assessment not only of poultry performance and carcass characteristics but also of resulting meat quality. A brief overview of research studies, conducted over the past 10 yr, investigating the effects of alternative poultry feedst...

Polarographic Methods of Analysis

The polarographic method invented by J. Heyrovsk over 40 years ago has been associated with many successful achievements in many branches of physical and analytical chemistry, particularly in electrochemistry. Following the construction of the polarograph (with the excellent properties of Kuera's dropping mercury electrode incorporated) by Heyrovsk and Shikata, recording the current—voltage cur...
