In recent years there has been a tendency to experiment with antigens derived from treponemata in the diagnostic tests for treponemal disease in the hope that they might prove more sensitive and more specific than the cardiolipin antigen which is now the standard preparation. These antigens have been prepared either from a virulent strain of Treponema pallidum or from the avirulent Reiter strai...

A molecular characterization of cross-reactive antigens of Treponema pallidum Nichols and Treponema phagedenis biotype Reiter that are reactive with normal and syphilitic human sera is described. At least 8 common polypeptides, 14 T. pallidum-specific antigens, and 2 T. phagedenis biotype Reiter-specific antigens were identified.

The association of optic hydrops and Reiter`s syndrome in the literature has not been mentioned previously. This syndrome characteristically consists of 3 manifestations: arthritis, urethritis, and conjunctivitis. A 42-year-old woman with a history of Reiter`s syndrome presented with progressive vision disturbance in her left eye and with headache. Orbital MRI demonstrated enlarged perioptic ne...

A fact apparently not observed earlier in the literature of nonmonotonic reasoning is that Reiter, in his default logic paper, did not directly formalize informal defaults. Instead, he translated a default into a certain natural language proposition and provided a formalization of the latter. A few years later, Moore noted that propositions like the one used by Reiter are fundamentally differen...

Reiter syndrome is classically characterized as the clinical triad of arthritis, urethritis, and conjunctivitis. Similar disease entities have been previously described by Stoll in 17761 as of postenteric origin and by Brodie in 18181 as a postvenereal syndrome. The German hygienist Hans Reiter reported in 19162 a case in which a young lieutenant developed purulent urethritis, conjunctivitis, a...

Origin Attempts carried out about the year 1920 at the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute of Experimental Therapy in Berlin to culture treponemes from eighty to ninety patients with primary syphilis, were successful in seven of these cases. One of the strains obtained, denoted as B 36, was said to have remained pathogenic for rabbits (Wassermann and Ficker, 1922). Reiter (1960), who continued the work of...

Abstract We establish several new characterizations of amenable $W^*$ - and $C^*$ -dynamical systems over arbitrary locally compact groups. In the -setting we show that amenability is equivalent to (1) a Reiter property (2) existence certain net completely positive Herz–Schur multipliers $(M,G,\alpha )$ converging point weak* identity $G\bar {\ltimes }M$ . -setting, prove $(A,G,\alpha an analog...
