Improved coagulase tests for Staphylococcus aureus

Creator:: Orth, Donald Simms
Abstract:: The need for better procedures for detecting Staphylococcus aureus prompted an investigation to improve coagulase testing. The rates of coagulase clotting were studied by using varying concentrations of trypsin inhibitor and coagulase-reacting factor (CRF). Egg white trypsin inhibitor activated coagulase clotting when added to a final concentration between 2 and...

Genetic and physiological relationships of growth hormone and growth in goats

Creator:: Simms, Danny Dale
Abstract:: An F₁ population resulting from mating pygmy and normal goats (local commercial breeds) was crossed to give an F₂ population. Analysis of wither height and body weight indicated that the F₂ population was intermediate between the parental types (pygmy and normal) with little overlap of phenotypic values for body size...

The conversion of some monoalkylhydrazines to their corresponding hydrocarbons by a hepatic microsomal enzyme system in rat

Creator:: Prough, Russell A.
Abstract:: An aspect of the metabolism of monoalkylhydrazines has been investigated using both intact rats and rat liver microsomal enzyme preparations. Intact rats respired propane and n-butane on administration of 0.3-0.5 mmoles of isopropyl- and n-butylhydrazine, respectively. Based upon dose administered, a five to ten percent yield of hydrocarbon was obtained....

Environmental contaminants in male river otters collected from Oregon and Washington, 1994-99, with reproductive organ hypoplasia observed in otter males

Creator:: Grove, Robert Allan
Abstract:: A large number of river otter (Lontra canadensis) males were collected from areas of high and low contaminant concentrations throughout western Oregon and Washington during the fall and winter of 1994-99. Few significant non-reproductive organ morphometric differences were found in the large series of male otters collected, except for adrenal...

Characterization of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) induced modification of hepatic pyruvate carboxylase gene expression in C57BL/6J male mice

Creator:: Sparrow, Barney R.
Abstract:: The effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) exposure on hepatic pyruvate carboxylase (PC) gene expression were investigated in C57BL/6J Ah[superscipt b/b male mice. A dose-dependent reduction of PC levels and activity occurred in animals given a single intraperitoneal dose of TCDD in a corn oil carrier. The dose ranged from 1 to...

Prostate cancer prevention with broccoli : from cellular to human studies

Creator:: Clarke, John D.
Abstract:: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death in American men. Epidemiologic studies suggest that cruciferous vegetable intake may lower the risk for many cancers, including prostate and colon. Isothiocyanates (ITC) are phytochemicals derived from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cabbage that may...

Neorickettsia helminthoeca in cell culture

Creator:: Noonan, William Edward
Abstract:: The etiologic agent of salmon poisoning disease was found to be Neorickettsia helminthoeca, although a second organism, the Elokomin fluke fever agent, may also be involved in other areas. Primary cultures of dog leucocytes were found to support the in vitro cultivation of Neorickettsia helminthoeca as were canine sarcoma 503...

Developing a 2D Cross-section Training Strategy for 3D Volume Segmentation by Analyzing Human Perception and Cognitive Tasks

Creator:: Sanandaji, Anahita
Abstract:: 3D volume segmentation is a fundamental process in many scientific and medical applications. Producing accurate segmentations, in an efficient way, is challenging, in part due to low imaging data quality (e.g., noise and low image resolution), and ambiguity in the data that can only be resolved with higher-level knowledge of...
