K. W., a 28 year old white male, ship electrician, had suffered from persistant, moderately severe cough, productive of one ounce of semi-mucoid sputa from April to June 1951, and related one episode of minimal hemoptysis in June 1951. He had incurred no significant weight loss. While in the Canal Zone in June 1951, he was informed, following a pre-employment examination, that his chest film sh...

This study presents the direct relationships between changes in annual surface temperature of North Atlantic (SST) and number days per year experiencing low flows Warta River catchment (WRC) Central Europe, Poland, multi-annual period 1951–2020. The (TLF) was used to describe conditions hydrological drought WRC. Moderately strong (r~0.5) but statistically highly significant (p < 0.001) were ...

The current paper describes the age, period and cohort effects on breast cancer mortality in Taiwan. Female breast cancer mortality data were collected from the Taiwan death registries for 1971-2010. The annual percentage changes, age- standardised mortality rates (ASMR) and age-period-cohort model were calculated. The mortality rates increased with advancing age groups when fixing the period. ...

Comparative Series A series of 452 comparisons was made in this laboratory between the Galli Mainini pregnancy test, using the English male toad, Bufo bufo, and routine Friedman pregnancy tests. The latter were made in this laboratory by Dr. A. L. Taylor, and in the University of Bristol Department of Preventive Medicine by Professor K. E. Cooper. The series covered the period from March, 1950,...

The introduction of the complex sulfone derivatives marked a considerable advance in the treatment of leprosy, but it also meant a period of some confusion while the various kinds of derivatives were on trial. The period of trial has, in the main, ended by the acceptance of the majority of the parent substance, DDS, as the drug of choice. It is noted, however, that at the BELRA conference on su...

This paper is concerned with the observations made on 212 cases of acute haematogenous osteitis admitted to one of the surgical units of the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow, during the years 1936 to 1950. The term osteitis is preferred to osteomyelitis because the bone marrow plays only a small part in bone suppuration (Nowicki 1931, Romanis and Mitchiner 1932, \Vhite 1937, and Dennis...

Data from historical observatories and future simulations were analyzed using the representative concentration pathway (RCP) 8.5 scenario, which covered period 1951 to 2100. In order characterize drought, three widely used drought indicators used: standardized precipitation index (SPI), reconnaissance (RDI), evapotranspiration (SPEI). The ensemble of seven (7) GCMs that RCA-4 was able capture s...
