| risk assessment of an acetaminophen baiting program for chemical control of brown tree snakes on guam: evaluation of baits, snake residues, and potential primary and secondary hazards. | the brown tree snake (boiga irregularis) is a significant ecological, agricultural, and economic pest on guam. acetaminophen has recently been identified as a promising snake toxicant. subsequent experimentation has shown that acetaminophen-mouse baits are readily consumed by and acutely toxic to browntree snakes. before implementing an island-wide acetaminophen-mouse baiting program for the reducton of brown tree snake populations,the potential risks to nontarget wildlife must be evaluated. qua ... | 2002 | 12322757 |
| fragmentation of the golgi apparatus of motor neurons in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als). clinical studies in als of guam and experimental studies in deafferented neurons and in beta,beta'-iminodipropionitrile axonopathy. | previous morphological immunoenzymatic studies with organelle-specific antibodies have disclosed an apparent fragmentation of the golgi apparatus in large numbers of motor neurons in 12 cases of sporadic, non-guamanian amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als) in three cases of other types of motor neuron disease and in one case of a mitochondrial myopathy with cytochrome c oxidase deficiency. motor neurons with fragmented golgi apparatus were moderately atrophic; in these cells, discrete immunostaine ... | 1994 | 8203467 |
| comparative horizontal starch gel isoenzyme electrophoresis of lymnaea (bullastra) cumingiana (pulmonata: lymnaeidae) and related taxa in the indo-pacific region. | foot muscle tissue extracts from six lymnaeid species of the indo-pacific region [lymnaea (bullastra) cumingiana and l. (radix) quadrasi from the philippines, l. (r.) rubiginosa from indonesia and thailand, and l. (r.) viridis from guam and hong kong] were subjected to horizontal starch gel isoenzyme electrophoresis and assayed for seven isoenzymes (acp, alp, ca, est, lap, cat and got) to elucidate their taxonomic relationships. l. cumingiana exhibited banding patterns for est, lap and cat uniqu ... | 1994 | 7825010 |
| neurofibrillary change on guam. | distribution and occurrence of neurofibrillary change (nfc) in the brain were studied in 114 guamanians who had neither amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als) nor parkinsonism dementia (pd). comparison was made with 28 guamanians with als-pd and 53 non-guamanians without als-pd. search for nfc was made in 15 dogs and cats that lived on guam. most of the guamanians without als-pd during and after middle age had nfc similar to that of guamanians with als-pd but lesser in degree and extent of involvem ... | 1981 | 7458717 |
