1. In 4 dogs maintained on a high protein diet (lean meat) repeated intravenous injections of plasma obtained from healthy donor dogs (18 to 24 injections during the course of 3 to 4 weeks, totalling 1595 to 4355 cc.-averaging 1800 cc. when figured on thc basis of a 5 kg. dog) resulted in a mean increase in the plasma protein concentration of 20 per cent (from 7.1 per cent to 8.5 per cent). 2. ...

Isolated lkvocardia, with the heart on the left but with the abdominal viscera inverted, is less well known than its counterpart, isolated dextrocardia, but is not very rare. In this paper we are reporting our findings in 20 patients, and Campbell (1963) has given reasons for thinking that its incidence may be about 1 in 22,000 of the general population. In any series of patients with cyanotic ...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE beta-thalassaemia is a genetic disorder and an important health problem around the world. Quantitative haemoglobin A(2) (HbA(2)) levels are used for the diagnosis of beta-thalassaemia. The conventional methods are high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), electrophoresis, and microcolumn chromatography techniques. We established a fast protein liquid chromatography (...

The consumption of oxygen by germinating seeds of Lupinus albus can be reversibly inhibited by CO to a maximum extent of 36 per cent with a mixture of 24 per cent O(2) and 76 per cent CO at 18 degrees , in darkness. This inhibition is completely abolished when the seed is illuminated. On returning to air, after a period in the CO-O(2) mixture, the rate of oxygen consumption is accelerated to as...
