In the course of treatment of bancroftian filariasis with Hetrazan, massive expulsion of ascarids was reported by Briceno Rossi and Hewitt (1949) in Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, as well as Galliard and Mille (1949) in Tahiti, South Pacific. Hewitt et al. (1950) reported similar action of Hetrazan when the drug was used in the mass control of bancroftian filariasis in the field in St. Croix, Virgi...

t may interest readers to know that Australia has had an unexpected fallout of the 2000 Sydney Olympics—an increase in the population! At a time when politicians are calling for an increase in birth rates, it is pleasing to note that sports medicine is doing its best for the nation. A recent newspaper report noted that 35 overseas athletes who came to Australia for the Olympics did not actually...

Riassunto: La stima della probabilità di riproducibilità (RP) di una significatività statistica consiste nella stima a posteriori della potenza, ed è un indicatore dell’affidabilità dei risultati dei test statistici. Si analizzano qui alcuni metodi per la stima, puntuale e per intervalli, della RP per il test di Wilcoxon, e si comparano tramite uno studio di simulazione. Si evince che la soluzi...

For detailed biomedical observations using the optimum phase-contrast x-ray imaging, quantitative comparisons of imaging performances of two major imaging methods--x-ray interferometric imaging (XII) and diffraction enhanced imaging (DEI)--were performed. Density sensitivity and spatial resolution of each imaging method were evaluated using phantom tomograms obtained by each method with the sam...
