[role of irritant receptors in shortening expiration during collapse of the lungs].in 24 vagotomized cats, firing rate of 44 irritant receptors was studied in lung collapse under conditions of pneumothorax or sucking off of air. the firing rate increased in 26 receptors in the latter condition. in pneumothorax the firing rate increased 1.5-2.7-fold as compared with sucking off of air. discharges of the lung stretch receptors are practically similar in both conditions but the expiration increases more in pneumothorax due to a more intense activation of the irritant receptors. t ...19854054398
shedding of coxiella burnetii in milk by nigerian dairy and dual purposes cows.fresh milk from dairy cows kept at semi-intensive husbandry in governmental and institutional farms and dual purpose fulani nomadic husbandry around zaria, nigeria were screened for coxiella burnetii using the mouse inoculation test. of the 20 herds from both management systems tested, 16(80.0%) contained dairy cows shedding c. burnetii in their milk. of a total of 169 cows tested, 41(24.3%) were shedders. eighteen (22.0%) of 82 cows kept under semi-intensive and 23(26.4%) of 87 cows kept under ...19854055266
local toxicity of different drugs after intramuscular or intralipomatous injection in pigs: serum concentrations after three different formulations of cis(z)-clopenthixol.findings made by computerized tomography scanning of pelvis of patients suggested that the majority of injections intended to be intramuscular in fact are delivered in the fat tissue. this finding has raised the question what difference it makes when drugs are injected intramuscularly or intralipomatously. we have studied local toxicity after intramuscular or intralipomatous injection of different drugs in pigs, which have a subcutaneous layer of fat comparable to that of man. the pigs were kill ...19854061093
analysis of the genome of influenza a virus strains (h3n2) isolated during the epidemic season of 1982-1983.the crna:vrna hybridization technique was used to analyse h3n2 influenza virus isolates obtained from influenza patients in the united kingdom and the u.s.a. (alaska) during the epidemic season of 1982-1983. the majority of isolates differed from reference h3n2 influenza virus strains a/bangkok/1/79 and a/philippines/2/82 as well as from one another in the homology of nearly all the genes. no identical strains were detected among the isolates including the ones isolated in the same town and at t ...19854062561
