Lou Gehrig was one of the most talented baseball players of all time; yet he is also remembered for ALS, the disease that took his life and still bears his name as its eponym. There is speculation about when his symptoms began. Some authorities believe that Gehrig showed signs of ALS when he starred in the film Rawhide in January 1938, which would mean that he played the entire 1938 season with...

A number of different enzymes are activated by certain reducing agents (e.g., KCN, H&S, cysteine, and reduced glutathione) and inactivated by oxidizing agents (e.g., K3Fe(CN)&, HzOz, and cystine). Under ideal conditions such inactivation is reversible by the addition of reducing agents (for a review of this subject cJ Hellerman (1937, 1939)). These results have been interpreted on the basis of ...

The rate of most chemical reactions increases exponentially with temperature in accordance with the Arrhenius equation. The older literature on enzyme-catalyzed reactions (for references cf. Haldane (1930), Tauber (1937)) indicates that these do not. conform, since the activation energy decreases with rise in temperature instead of being invariant. More recent studies do not confirm this genera...

In the current work, the following taxonomic changes of genus Oberea Dejean, 1835 are proposed: Oberea flavescens Breuning, 1947, rest. stat.; Oberea toi Gressitt, 1939, rest. stat.; Oberea sylvia Pascoe, 1858, rest. stat.; Oberea taiwana Matsushita, 1933 = Oberea taihokuensis Breuning, 1962, syn. n.; Oberea sumbana Breuning, 1961 = Oberea antennata Franz, 1972, syn. n.; Oberea brevithorax Gres...

Subacute and chronic affections of the myocardium due to non-penetrating injuries have in the past been regarded as extremely rare. Traumatic rupture of the cardiac valves, papillary muscles, and chordc tendine are described in detail in most textbooks; yet isolated myocardial and pericardial lesions, though undoubtedly more common, are scarcely mentioned except in more recent manuals dealing w...
