The nucleic acids ot isolated plant tissues were first shown to be affected by plant growth regulators by Silberger and Skoog (1953). They showed that indoleacetic acid treatment would increase the level of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid in tobacco pith tissue. Recently, experiments with excised stems of cucumber seedlings (West, Hanson and Key, 1960), and excised cotton cotyl...

Bromocriptine, a potent D2-dopamine agonist, suppresses growth hormone (GH) secretion in most patients with acromegaly and has been approved for the treatment of acromegaly. Here we report a patient with acromegaly who showed increased GH secretion after administration of bromocriptine. A 70-year-old man with acromegalic manifestation was admitted to our hospital because of a pituitary tumor in...

The term “ultima ratio” has multiple, though related, meanings. The motto “ultima ratio regum,” cast on the cannons of the French army of King Louis XIV, meant that war is the last argument of kings, that is, the one to be used after all diplomatic arguments have failed. Along similar lines, we propose that, given the current evidence, renal denervation should be used as a last resort, after st...

PURPOSE To describe a new scleral fixation foldable intraocular lens (IOL): the Ultima. METHODS The novel IOL is a new scleral fixation acrylic hydrophilic foldable lens that offers a 360 degrees sulcus support due to its round geometry. It can be folded and inserted through a 4 mm clear cornea incision. Twenty-five eyes implanted with the Ultima lens were followed for 2 years. RESULTS Twen...

BACKGROUND Atrazine (ATR), a commonly used herbicide in the United States, is widely distributed in water and soil because of its mobility through ecosystems and its persistence in the environment. ATR has been associated with defects in sexual development in animals, but studies on mammalian systems have failed to clearly identify a cellular target. OBJECTIVES Our goal in this study was to i...
