Since the discovery of the Rh blood groups (Landsteiner and Weiner, 1940) many articles on the subject of haemolytic disease of the newborn have been written. Gilmour (1944) in this country and Potter (1944; 1946) in America have presented authoritative accounts of the pathology of haemolytic disease, but, as the former points out, this aspect of the condition has received far less attention th...

Tuberculous meningitis is universally considered to be a fatal disease. Examples of spontaneous recovery have been reported, but they are rare and complete laboratory confirmation in most of these is lacking. In January, 1944, Schatz, Bugie, and Waksman2 reported the isolation of streptomycin. In November, 1944, Schatz and Waksmat3 demonstrated its marked bacteriostatic and bactericidal action ...

82 per cent out of a total white cell count of 22,300|c.mm. from Tong King, China. Bass (1941) refers to 7 cases with a similar picture from America and Havana. Ritchie (1944) describes tropical eosinophilia in an African patient from Tanganyika. Parsons-Smith (1944) reports it in an English airman after 10 months' stay in Egypt. Treu (1944) mentions it in a Chinese patient from Singapore. McGu...

The lycosid genus Agalenocosa Mello-Leitão, 1944 comprises at least eight species from northern and eastern Argentina and neighbouring countries: Agalenocosa velox (Keyserling, 1891) comb. nov. (from southern Brazil and Argentina), transferred here from Pirata Sundevall, 1833, A. tricuspidata (Tullgren, 1905) comb. nov. (from northwestern Argentina), transferred here from Pardosa C.L. Koch, 184...

When World War II began, some of the experimental results obtained on animals indicated that sulfonamides applied locally and taken by mouth might prevent infections with anaerobes of the gas gangrene group. It became evident, even in the Western Desert and Tunisia, that anaerobic infections would occur in spite of sulfonamide prophylaxis. When the fighting took place on the more cultivated soi...

C ORN silage is a major source of roughage for ruminants in the cornbelt, because it is one of the most productive crops of total digestible nutrients and animal gains per acre. However, to make up a complete growingfinishing ration with corn silage it is necessary to supplement it with sources of energy, nitrogen and minerals. The addition of urea to corn, sorghum or grass at ensiling has give...
