in this study granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (csf) was prepared from rabbit and guinea pig lung tissues. the biological activity of these csfs was measured on semisolid agar culture and compared with those of mouse and rat. weight of animals, incubation time and cross-reactivity of csfs with different bone marrow sources were also investigated. the results showed that both rab...

Transformation of earth's ecosystems by anthropogenic climate change is predicted for the 21st century. In many regions, the associated increase in environmental temperatures and reduced precipitation will have direct effects on the physiological performance of terrestrial and aquatic ectotherms and have already threatened fish biodiversity and important fisheries. The threat of elevated enviro...

The invasion of the aquarium strain of the green alga Caulerpa taxifolia and subsequent alteration of community structure in the Mediterranean Sea raised awareness of the potential for non-native seaweeds to impact coastal communities. An introduction of C. taxifolia in southern California in 2000, presumably from the release of aquarium specimens, cost ~$7 million for eradication efforts. Besi...

We have established a large cohort of twins to facilitate studies of the role of genetics and environment in the development of disease. The cohort has been derived from all multiple births occurring in California between 1908-82 (256,616 in total). We report here on our efforts to contact these twins and their completion of a detailed 16 page risk factor questionnaire. Addresses of the individ...

Outbreaks of rabbit hemorrhagic disease have occurred recently in young rabbits on farms on the Iberian Peninsula where rabbits were previously vaccinated. Investigation identified a rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus variant genetically related to apathogenic rabbit caliciviruses. Improved antivirus strategies are needed to slow the spread of this pathogen.

The amplitude of the rabbit scotopic electroretinogram (ERG) is notoriously labile both in day-to-day variations in the same animal1 as well as in the wide range seen in normal controls. This seriously impairs the rabbit's usefulness as a model in long-term experiments. Part of the reason for this difficulty appears to lie in the traditional methods of obtaining and assessing adaptation prepara...

Whilst there are some who appear to advise the removal of all myo-fibromatous tumours of the uterus, others incline to non-operative treatment throughout. More lives will, however, be saved by a judicious selection of cases for the respective forms of treatment. The mere presence of a tumour is not a sufficient excuse for operation, and it is clearly the duty of every surgeon, before he advocat...

At least ten species of beaked whales inhabit the North Pacific, but little is known about their abundance, ecology, and behavior, as they are elusive and difficult to distinguish visually at sea. Six of these species produce known species-specific frequency modulated (FM) echolocation pulses: Baird's, Blainville's, Cuvier's, Deraniyagala's, Longman's, and Stejneger's beaked whales. Additionall...
