The Subject

The study of a normal process in an organ so especially prone to disease as is the human uterus, is beset with many difficulties; so many foreign conditions are apt to be present, giving a false impression as to what this process really is. That this is the case to no small degree, when the character of the changes which occur in the normal involution of the uterus after child-birth is the subject of observation, is shown by the variety of opinions held and stated by doubtlessly competent observers; for while one holds that the muscle undergoes a fatty degeneration, another holds that no such fatty change occurs; while one asserts that only a certain number of the fibres degenerate and disappear, another states that so complete is the destruction, that not one single fibre present in the uterus before birth survives the process; while another goes to the extent of saying, that the puerperal uterus can in no way be distinguished from a uterus that has undergone an inflammatory process.

Emotions relationally and performatively constitute the very boundaries that distinguish the subject from the other(s). The urban human in India is affectively constituted by many intense emotional experiences of everyday life. Adopting a participation view of planning and drawing from Sarah Ahmed (2014, The cultural politics of emotion. Edinburgh University Press), we examine ‘what emotions do’ in the planning and participatory atmospheres (Buser, 2014, Planning Theory, vol. 13, pp. 227–243) in Bangalore. Tracing emotional content embedded in participations and non-participations, we demonstrate how distrust, anger and fear co-produced the process and outcomes of the 2031 Master Plan of Bangalore. We join the few emerging scholars that call attention to the emotional geographies of planning, particularly to be able to transform the continuing colonial urban management practice in the postcolonial world to that of planning. Planning, we argue, has to involve participation, in which emotions, we demonstrate, are the connective tissue (Newman, 2012, Critical Policy Studies, vol. 6, pp. 465–479).

Otosurgery plays an important role in the rehabilitation of patients with hearing loss. Any operation can be accompanied by a long inflammatory process with excessive development of connective tissue, forming atresia or stenosis of the external auditory canal. Formed scars in the external auditory canal reduce the effectiveness of treatment and can lead to reoperation. In the treatment of scars, the use of injections of a suspension of prolonged steroids directly into the developing connective tissue is effective. We have developed a method of injecting drugs into the scar tissue of the bone section of the external auditory canal, which allows the use of such therapy in patients after otosurgery. 12 people were treated with the proposed technique. All patients had an inflammatory process in the external auditory canal with undesirable growth of connective tissue. Previous local therapy did not bring a satisfactory result. Patients received injections of a suspension of steroids into developing scar tissue. The treatment period was 1-8 weeks, for which 1 to 4 sessions of injections were performed. As a result of treatment according to the developed method, in all cases a cessation of the pathological inflammatory process was observed. Timely therapy made it possible to completely eliminate the excess granulation tissue (100%), to stop the growth of the scar, or even to cause a significant decrease (33%). The developed method allows to use of a small dose of a substance (0,1–0,5 ml) for injection to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.

It was not without trepidation that I set out to supplement and slightly to correct the discussion of an amulet by that expert on the subject Professor Campbell Bonner, whose excellent book has recently come into my hands. Among the many curious specimens contained therein is one which is listed as D 144 and figured on Plate VII, described on p. 276 and discussed on pp. 87–89. It has on the obverse a pterygoma, that is to say an inscription written first in full, then without its first letter, then without its first two letters and so on, thus forming a conventional wing. In the space left by the tapering of this is shown a warrior in full equipment, who may or may not be Ares. Above him is a thunderbolt. On the reverse is a curious erection, perhaps a very oddly formed altar, above which is something like a jar, in the shape of a recurrent object on some of these amulets, which Bonner, plausibly at least and probably rightly, interprets as the human uterus, but in an unusual position, for its neck (the os uteri?) is turned upwards, not, as commonly, downwards. On either side is a snake, above “a disk with eight radii — whether a wheel or a conventional sun is uncertain.” Around the margin runs some magic jargon ending in “Sabaoth.”

The Subject

The diurnal variation of terrestrial magnetism has been the subject of experimental study for many years, and at a considerable number of observatories scattered all over the earth. But the co-ordination of the results, and the theoretical investigation of the physical cause or causes of the phenomena, have not made progress which seems to bear a reasonable proportion to the vast amount of observational data that has accumulated. As far as I know, Dr. Arthur Schuster’s memoirs constitute the most inspiring and systematic attempt to reduce this matter to scientific law and order. Although I have found it convenient to depart from the method pursued by Schuster, this change of procedure was in no small degree suggested by various remarks in his memoirs.

Turpentine granulomas were produced in rats and examined histologically and for the presence of rat albumin and α1-acid glycoprotein using fluorescent labelled antibody to these proteins. Examination of granulomas showed the presence of a connective tissue region of granuloma tissue; this region stained strongly with fluorescent anti-α1-acid glycoprotein whereas there was little staining with fluorescent antialbumin. These results suggest that α1-acid glycoprotein is located at the inflammatory site and may be involved in some aspect of the inflammatory process.

Estrogen And Progesterone Receptor

Abstract Homogeneous control specimens for estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) assays were prepared from freshly collected human uterus. After removal of the connective tissue, the specimen was washed with isotonic saline, cut into small pieces, quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -70 degrees C until analyzed. Cytosol prepared from this specimen was lyophilized and stored at -70 degrees C. A single step of reconstitution, with glycerol (100 mL/L) in water, is sufficient to prepare a control. Two specimens prepared this way were found to be reasonably stable for 20 months (first specimen, mean +/- SD: ER = 22.1 +/- 2.9 fmol/mg, PR = 136.5 +/- 26.9 fmol/mg; second specimen: ER = 107.2 +/- 11.7 fmol/mg, PR = 922 +/- 71.6 fmol/mg). Another specimen, prepared similarly but not frozen in liquid nitrogen soon after collection, was less stable; its ER and PR concentrations deteriorated faster.

Abstract Good ride, acceptable comfort for passengers, is a required attribute for all road vehicles particularly automobiles and light trucks. The tire/wheel assembly is a critical component in providing good ride. Indeed, obtaining good ride was the crucial factor that drove the invention of and rapid popularization of the pneumatic tire. Today, the ride effect of tires is often thought of in two ways. The first is in terms of the transmission of vibration produced by the interaction of the tire with road surface irregularities, harshness. The second is in terms of tire structural irregularity generated energy transmitted during operation on a smooth road, uniformity. Both types of energy share the dynamic properties of the tire structure though they differ in source. This paper concentrates primarily on uniformity induced vibration particularly at the frequency of tire rotation, but does touch on harshness to a small degree, when the sharing of structural dynamics makes it appropriate. This review of the subject of force uniformity includes the effect of wheels, as wheels contribute to the vibration that reaches the vehicle spindle. Balance is touched on only as it affects force uniformity in well-balanced assemblies. This is not a treatise on balancing. A suggestion is made, which should, if practical, greatly improve the installed uniformity of tire/wheel assemblies.

Integral Characteristics

Fibronectin (Fn) level of blood plasma is studied by the immunofermental method in patients with heavy forms of eczema, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. An increase of Fn level of blood plasma is revealed in all groups under examination, having no tendency for a decrease in clinical improvement. The results of investigation of the nature and dynamics of Fn characteristics in specific patients allow considering them as the factors, reflecting the integral characteristics of reactivity of the changed connective tissue of derma. The definite types of correlations peculiar to each of dermatoses are determined, relating Fn levels with other characteristics, typical of inflammatory process.
