can be considered cured and the antimony treatment discontinued. From time to time since the introduction of the treatment with the antimony tartrates various rules have been suggested for the course of treatment that is necessary to effect a cure; these rules have become more and more elastic and there is usually a very decided tendency towards prolongation of the course. Sir Leonard Rogers fi...

Under the title " Experimental Studies ill Bilharzia Therapy ($. spindalis)Dr. Hamilton Fairley, in the August 1924 issue of the Indian Medical Gazette, published details of a comparative investigation of the action of antimony tartrate and emetine on goats experimentally infected with 6". spindalis. Dr. Fairley found emetine superior to antimony tartrate as a specific cure for the goats and wr...

Kudz Ze Kayah (KZK) and Wolverine are volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits hosted by Early Mississippian meta-rhyolites, marine metasedimentary rocks and intermediate to mafc metatuffs of the Yukon Tanana Terrane in the Simpson Range, southern Yukon (Figure I). This project aims to pinpoint, within central northern B.C., stratigraphy favorable to the formation of Early Mississippian volcanoge...

In a comparative study of 4 bivalve species we show that the apparent widely different tolerances in survival time observed in a closed system filled with N2-gassed seawater is mainly due to the experimental conditions. Both a high dose of cadmium and the antibiotic chloramphenicol increase survival time 2to 4-fold. Without precautions for bacterial growth, the survival time of the most toleran...

Authotrophic denitrification with sulphide using nitrate (R1) and nitrite (R2) as electron acceptor were investigated at bench scale. Different SRT (5 and 20 d) have been tested in R1 while R2 was operated at SRT = 13 d. The results indicated that the process allows to achieve complete sulphide removal in all testes conditions. Tested sulphide loads were estimated form the H2S produced in a pil...

Autotrophic denitrification with sulphide using nitrate (R1) and nitrite (R2) as electron acceptor was investigated at bench scale. Different solids retention times (SRT) (5 and 20 d) have been tested in R1 while R2 was operated at SRT=13 d. The results indicated that the process allows complete sulphide removal to be achieved in all tested conditions. Tested sulphide loads were estimated from ...

Histochemical methods have been devised Lo demonstrate certain metabolic activities of cells. By these techniques certain structures in a particular tissue are made to stand out in contrast to the other constituents. We have applied the methods for demonstrating alkaline and acid phosphatase activity to the study of the skin in leprosy. Pearse (5) has pointed out that these methods depend on in...

The application of sulphide scavengers is a widely adopted practice in production and processing operations in the Oil and Gas Industry. Particularly challenging is the search and development of new chemistries, which is aimed at safeguarding the health of personnel and maintaining good protection of materials under a variety of conditions whilst being environmentally acceptable. This paper inc...

A series of hybrid cadmium salt/cationic surfactant layered nanocomposites containing different concentrations of cadmium sulphide was prepared by exchanging chloride by sulphide ions in the layered precursor CdXx(OH)y(CnTA)z in a solid phase/gas reaction, resulting in a series of layered species exhibiting stoichiometries corresponding to CdSvXx(OH)y(CnTA)z, constituted by two-dimensional CdCl...

In the Indian Medical Gazette for June 1927, Chopra, Gupta, and David described a new serum test for kala-azar. These workers observed that when certain organic compounds of antimony were brought in contact with the serum from kala-azar patients in a miniature testtube, a thick flocculent precipitate was formed at the junction of the two; whereas with nonkala-azar sera no such precipitation occ...
