geneticists and the biology of race crossing.	geneticists in england and the united states clearly reversed their published remarks on the effects of race crossing between 1930 and 1950. the reversal occurred in two steps. first came the change in the 1930's from a condemnation of wide race crosses to an agnostic view. the second change, from the agnostic view to the belief that wide race crosses were at worst biologically harmless, took place during and shortly after world war ii. the entire reversal occurred in the light of little new com ...	1973	4583525

use of the single radial diffusion technique for influenza antibody surveys.	a survey of antibody to the influenza a/hong kong/1/68 (h3n2) and the variant a/england/42/72 (h3n2) was carried out by two methods, haemagglutination-inhibition (hi) and single radial diffusion (srd). a comparison of the sensitivity of the two tests indicated that the proportion of sera that produced a zone of 2.5 mm or larger in the srd tests was equivalent to the proportion that gave hi titres of 1: 40 or more. the test was carried out on serum samples collected from various regions of englan ...	1973	4212505
social class and infectious mononucleosis.	the socio-economic status of 80 patients with infectious mononucleosis was compared with the socio-economic distribution of the general population in the same area of south-west london. an excess incidence of infectious mononucleosis was observed among subjects from upper socio-economic groups. a possible relationship between this observation and the epidemiology of the epstein-barr virus is discussed.	1973	4348454
the isolation of enteroviruses from cases of acute conjunctivitis.	in two epidemics of acute enterovirus conjunctivitis the diagnosis could only be established by the use of human embryonic organ cultures. in one instance cultures of ciliated respiratory epithelium proved sensitive to the virus but similar culture failed to support growth of the virus from the second outbreak which was isolated in organ cultures of conjunctiva. the virus associated with a third outbreak had previously been isolated from the original material by culture in human embryo kidney ce ...	1973	4356574

outbreaks of bovine salmonellosis caused by serotypes other than s. dublin and s. typhimurium.	outbreaks of salmonellosis caused by serotypes other than s. dublin and s. typhimurium were investigated on 41 farms in north-west england. of these, 37 (90 per cent) were in dairy cows. there was strong circumstantial evidence that contaminated dairy cake was the source of infection in at least four herds and probably many more. twenty-six serotypes were encountered with s. newport, the commonest, causing the most severe disease. most cattle seemed to rid themselves of infection during the foll ...	1975	1054726
trends in salmonella food poisoning in england and wales 1941-72.	cattle and pig herds and flocks of domestic fowl have formed the main reservoir of human salmonella food poisoning in england and wales from 1941 to 1972. changes in the incidence of human salmonella food poisoning and in the serotypes of salmonellas isolated from human infections are shown to have been associated with the introduction of new foods, with changes in animal husbandry, and with changes in the relative proportions of flesh food from different species consumed. new foods, dried powde ...	1975	1054731
psychiatry: the battered child of medicine.	psychiatry has had a troubled history. after the french revolution "moral treatment" brought to america a period of effective and humane hospital treatment, but this progress was corrupted by the industrial revolution, and psychiatry was rejected by society as well as by medicine. although the freudian enlightenment and the introduction of social psychiatry have led to greater acceptance, today's criticisms are strident. psychiatry is criticized for imprecise diagnosis, conceptual vagaries, jarg ...	1975	1089193

comparison of the specificity of human and bovine tuberculin ppd for testing cattle. 2. south-eastern england.	a tuberculin testing trial was carried out in eight counties of south-eastern england to compare the specificity for bovine tuberculosis of weybridge human ppd with that of rotterdam bovine ppd. the matching of these two tuberculins for potency in naturally infected cattle had already been established, the bovine ppd being approximately one-and-a-half times more potent than the human ppd per unit of weight. in 1110 cattle in 25 herds with histories of long-standing freedom from tuberculosis and ...	1975	47751
comparison of the specificity of human and bovine tuberculin ppf for testing cattle. 3. national trial in great britain.	a field trial on a country-wide basis was undertaken to compare the specificity for bovine tuberculosis of single and comparative tuberculin tests in cattle using either weybridge human or weybridge bovine ppd. the tests were made on 10,305 cattle in 179 herds distributed throughout all regions of england, scotland and wales. results showed that a comparative tuberculin test using avian ppd with either human or bovine ppd had a much higher efficiency than a single injection of mammalian tubercul ...	1975	47752
infantile gastroenteritis: a clinical study of reovirus-like agent infection.	in a clinical study of 32 infants with symptoms from infections with the human reovirus-like agent (r.i.a.) identified by electron microscopy (e.m.) of faecal extracts, a fairly consistent clinical pattern was found in 30 who had a gastroenteritis-like illness. the disease was usually mild, affecting mainly infants less than 2 years and males more commonly than females. the incubation period appeared to be 48-72 hours; and the onset was sudden, often with vomiting in the first 1-2 days of the il ...	1975	53564
red cell esterase d in studies of paternity cases in the united kingdom.	the recently discovered genetic polymorphism of human red cell esterase d has been applied to 156 cases of disputed paternity, along with other well-established systems. the results indicate that esterase d is a useful additional genetic marker for use in paternity testing.	1975	164734

studies of vitamin d deficiency in man.	highly sensitive assays have been developed that enable 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-hydroxyvitamin d3) and 25-hydroxyergocalciferol (25-hydroxyvitamin d2) to be measured in the same serum sample. with these assays it has been shown that endogenously produced cholecalciferol (vitamin d3) is important in man; the findings further emphasize the role of vitamin d metabolites as hormones rather than vitamins in the traditional sense. dietary sources of vitamin d appear to be inadequate and vitamin ...	1975	172936
factors affecting the incidence of non-metrical skeletal variants.	non-metrical variants of the human cranium have been studied in 186 london crania of known age, sex and date of birth. the incidence of several variants was different in the two sexes, and these results were compared with those of other workers from different parts of the world. few variants persistently favoured one sex: the majority behaved inconsistently. age dependency was only demonstrated for one variant, while year of birth, presence of rickets, and spina bifida occulta, showed negligible ...	1975	129447
[pathobiology of carcinogenesis and the growth of neoplasms].	the importance of carcinogenicity by chemical substances is reviewed with regard to the increasing number of human neoplasms (1955: 39703; 1972: 62556) in the german democratic republic. the organotropic action of some carcinogens, the transplacental tumour induction, the endogenous formation of oncogenic n-nitroso compounds from inactive precursors in the stomach of experimental animals, and the role of carcinogens derived from plants are analysed. up to now it remains uncertain, whether dna an ...	1975	132065
pott and the path to prevention.	two hundred years ago, percival pott, a london surgeon, recognized that chimney sweeps were particulary liable to develop scrotal cancer and attributed the disease to exposure to soot. by so doing, he described the first environmental cause of cancer and started the chain of events that led to the first experimental production of cancer, the first synthesis of a carcinogen, and the first isolation of a carcinogen from a natural substance. following these laboratory successes, the main object of ...	1975	773336
