Genu recurvatum congenitum.

This paper reports thirty-two new cases of congenital genu recurvatum or ‘ ‘ back-knee,” and will discuss the etiology and methods of treatment. The incidence of the deformity is uncertain. Steindler (1924) asserted that it was ninety times less common than congenital dislocation of the hip, and Jones and Lovett (1923) described it as “ distinctly rare.” Yet it is said to be sufficiently common...

Defence against bacterial drug resistance.

How does resistance arise in bacteria ? One process is simply selection; treatment with an antibiotic eliminates sensitive strains and enables an originally very small minority of resistant ones to survive and spread. This is undoubtedly what happened among staphylococci in the early days of penicillin. When exposure to a drug-antibiotic or synthetic-is followed by resistance in a previously se...

Effects of Isoflavones in Feed on Plasma Estradiol Concentration and Productive Performances in Laying Hens

Isoflavones are phytoestrogens which have estrogen-like activity in animals and humans with structure similar to 17-β-estradiol and capable of binding to estrogen receptors (ERs).This experiment was conducted to demonstrate the effect of isoflavones on estradiol concentration in blood and its influence on the productive performances in ISA Brown laying hens fed with supplemented feed with large...
