Although the lability of heparin in mild acid has been studied (l-4), the conditions for thermoinactivation have not been clearly defined. Thus, experiments were designed to evaluate the loss in anticoagulant activity of heparin solutions in varying hydrogen ion concentrations over a wide range of temperatures. Samples were adjusted to pH l-4 and 7, then held 1 hr at 25, 37, 48, 58, 68, 78, 88,...

The Microflown Ultimate Sound Probe (USP) is an acoustic vector sensor capable of measuring the acoustic intensity in 3D and consists of a pressure microphone and a 3D particle velocity sensor. In order to perform a calibration of all three orthogonally positioned components of the particle velocity sensor simultaneously, we calibrate the USP by means of a reference velocity field above a vibra...

We have conducted a genetic and developmental analysis of genes within the 2C-D area of the X chromosome. Phenotypes of 33 mutations representing nine adjacent complementation groups including eight recessive lethals and one visible homeotic mutation (polyhomeotic) are described. Germline clonal analysis of the eight zygotic lethals has revealed three types of gene requirements: normal activity...

BOXED WARNING Only physicians experienced in immunosuppressive therapy and management of organ transplant patients should prescribe cyclosporine. Patients receiving the drug should be managed in facilities equipped and staffed with adequate laboratory and supportive medical resources. The physician responsible for maintenance therapy should have complete information requisite for the follow-up ...

SERIOUS AND SOMETIMES FATAL DERMATOLOGIC REACTIONS, INCLUDING TOXIC EPIDERMAL NECROLYSIS (TEN) AND STEVENS-JOHNSON SYNDROME (SJS), HAVE BEEN REPORTED DURING TREATMENT WITH TEGRETOL. THESE REACTIONS ARE ESTIMATED TO OCCUR IN 1 TO 6 PER 10,000 NEW USERS IN COUNTRIES WITH MAINLY CAUCASIAN POPULATIONS, BUT THE RISK IN SOME ASIAN COUNTRIES IS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 10 TIMES HIGHER. STUDIES IN PATIENT...
