Red corpuscles with nuclei contain heterogeneous sheep antigen when the organs of the same animal possess it. The sera in question contain not only heterogeneous hemolysins but also heterogeneous agglutinins. The hemolytic sera of rabbits immunized with hen red corpuscles are toxic to guinea pigs and kill them, the clinical picture being that of anaphylactic shock. Heterogeneous hemolysins are ...

The anemia in malarial infections is explained by the fact that each parasite destroys several red corpuscles. Reduction of hemoglobin out of proportion to the loss of red corpuscles is explained by the fact that there is always a partial loss of hemoglobin in certain of the surviving corpuscles due to parasitic action. Migration of parasites occurs in all aestivo-autumnal infections. If one wi...

The distribution of Herbst corpuscles in the oropharynx of the ostrich and emu has recently been documented. However, although the morphology of these mechanoreceptors is well known in neognathous birds, little structural information is available on the Herbst corpuscles of ratites. Tissue sections from those regions of the oropharynx known to possess a high concentration of Herbst corpuscles w...

The paper proposes three methods for automated diagnosis of hepatitis based on shape recognition and classification of blood corpuscles. The processed data are binary images of blood samples taken from positive diagnostic and negative diagnostic patients. The idea followed in the paper is to identify T-lymphocyte response (Danne corpuscles) using approximations of shape coefficients as perimete...

1. Malarial parasites destroy more than one red corpuscle, migrating to another as soon as one is destroyed. 2. Pigmented segmenting parasites attached to red corpuscles whose hemoglobin is intact or nearly so are prima facie evidence of migration. 3. Infected corpuscles in tertian infections may be enlarged as a result of the large size of the attached parasite as well as by parasitic action. ...

The present work is a translation from french to english of our previous “Démocrite et la puissance motrice du feu”, amended on a number of respects. It is mainly of historical and pedagogical interest. We suggest that the concepts introduced in the ancien Greece by Anaximander (flat earth) and Democritus (corpuscles moving in vacuum) allow us to obtain through qualitative observations and plau...

Both Asian (Elephas maximus) and African (Loxodonta africana) elephants produce low-frequency, high-amplitude rumbles that travel well through the ground as seismic waves, and field studies have shown that elephants may utilize these seismic signals as one form of communication. Unique elephant postures observed in field studies suggest that the elephants use their feet to 'listen' to these sei...

As part of work testing the application of physical chemistry to immunity, measurements were made of the amount of amboceptor present in heated, hemolytic serum,after contact with corpuscles, the object being to determine in this way the law governing the absorption of hemolytic amboceptor. The unexpected phenomenon was observed that when serum and corpuscles 2 were put together in certain prop...

This study examines the structure of sensory nerve endings in the sheep anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Three types of nerve endings are found: free nerve endings (FNE), Ruffini corpuscles, and lamellated corpuscles. The FNE (more than 100) are found subsynovially. The afferent nerve fibres are either thin myelinated axons (Adelta) or C fibres with diameters of 1-2 microm. FNE have been repor...
