In a paper published last year the authors described a method by which it is possible to recognise the red blood corpuscles of any individual ox and to differentiate them from those of any other member of the same species. The method depends upon the fact that if a highly polyvalent isohæmolytic serum is treated repeatedly with the red blood corpuscles of any individual of the species for which the serum has been made, it entirely loses its hæmolytic action for the corpuscles of all other individuals of the same species. Such a serum therefore constitutes, so to speak, a specific reagent for the corpuscles of the individual for which it has been prepared, and by its means one is enabled to follow up and to identify these corpuscles even in the presence of corpuscles of other individuals.

Vestimentiferan tubeworms are significant members of deep-sea chemosynthetically-driven communities, including hydrothermal vents and cold seeps. The reproductive condition in this taxon is rarely studied because of sampling constraints inherent to these environments, and the lack of a simple methodology to quantify gonad development in vestimentiferans.We demonstrate that the amount of gonad found in the first 10 mm of trunk can be used as representative of the reproductive condition of the individual, and we establish a linear relationship between the amount of gonad and the proportion of wax ester in the trunk of female vestimentiferans. This relationship represents a new method for the determination of the reproductive condition in this group.

Post Stress

Introduction. This work provides the results of author’s own research which are based on the analysis of characteristics of the post-stress personality disorders (PSD) taking into account the comorbid addictive behaviour among military personnel.During the study, it was found with PSD, the most pronounced addictions are cannabinoid, alcoholic and psychostimulants dependencies. Taking into account the tendency to increase number of people with psychopathological disorders and addictive behaviour manifestations in the modern Ukraine, the problem of prevention, treatment and support of people who were in the ATO area is acute now.Goal. Determination of markers of medical, psychological and social support.Research methods: theoretical, socio-demographic, clinical and psychopathological, psychodiagnostic, follow-up, clinical and anamnestic, statistical.Results. In order to develop a model of pharmacotherapy for this group of persons, during the 2014-2018 years, 219 people were examined at the age from 21 to 56 years, of which 18 persons were not included in the study according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Of surveyed people (201 persons), 59 people were diagnosed with PSD, including 32 people with comorbid adductions.We carried out a screening diagnostic assessment of the needs of servicemen, during which we identified the main requests for the need for corrective measures, their attitude and desire to take part in an experimental program to restore normal social life and restore normal life. According to the results of the study, it was found that the spectrum of needs covers all three spheres of a person’s life: biological, psychological and social. It was possible to identify the main targets of psychotherapy and draw up a plan of the main activities. The general goal of psychocorrectional measures for each of the studied groups was the restoration of normal processes of life of the individual and the restoration of normal social interaction.Conclusions. The developed measures gave us the opportunity to effectively influence all links of pathogenesis, based on the biopsychosocial model of addiction. In the process of treatment, taking into account the recommendations of the MOH on the treatment of military personnel, were improved certain stages of pharmacotherapy as the basis for further active psychosocial and psychosocial support, which will create the basis for the normalization of their livelihoods and the possibility of military-professional recovery.

Community Dwelling Older Adults

Repeated neuropsychological assessments are common with older adults, and the determination of clinically significant change across time is an important issue. Regression-based prediction formulas have been utilized with other patient and healthy control samples to predict follow-up test performance based on initial performance and demographic variables. Comparisons between predicted and observed follow-up performances can assist clinicians in determining the significance of change in the individual patient. In the current study, multiple regression-based prediction equations for the 5 Indexes and Total Score of the RBANS were developed for a sample of 223 community dwelling older adults. These algorithms were then validated on a separate elderly sample (N = 222). Minimal differences were present between observed and predicted follow-up scores in the validation sample, suggesting that the prediction formulas are clinically useful for practitioners who assess older adults. A case example is presented that illustrates how the algorithms can be used clinically. (JINS, 2004, 10, 828–834.)

Individuals with Rett syndrome (RS) present with a complex profile. They benefit from a multidisciplinary approach for diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. In our clinic, the Communication Matrix © (Rowland, 1990/1996/2004) is used to collect data about the communication skills and modalities used by those with RS across the lifespan. Preliminary analysis of this data supports the expected changes in communication behaviors as the individual with RS ages and motor deficits have a greater impact.

Effective Activator

SummaryThe term “effective activator” of plasminogen is proposed, to denote the resultant of activator-antiactivator interaction, and a method for the determination of the level of these activators is described. By adding axcess plasminogen to the euglobulin fraction of plasma the influence of the level of endogenous plasminogen and of the antiplasmin is eliminated. It is shown that the level of fibrinogen has very little bearing on the results. An effective activator unit is defined as equal to 1 CTA unit of urokinase activity on a fibrinogen-plasminogen substrate.

Plasmin Inhibitors

SummaryA new method for the assay of plasmin inhibitors in human plasma is described. The method consists of determination of the caseinolytic activity of a standard plasmin solution before and after incubation with the inhibitor, with lysine added to the mixture as a stabilizer of plasmin. Using this method, it was found that plasma contains enough inhibitors to inactivate 30 caseinolytic units of plasmin, or 10 times the normal amount of plasminogen in human plasma.

ABSTRACT Various techniques for sensitising erythrocytes and latex particles with gonadotrophins, particularly with HCG, are described. The haemagglutination inhibition reactions are generally interpreted by means of »erythrocyte settling patterns«. By a new method of evaluating these patterns a relatively precise quantitative determination is possible. Latex agglutination inhibition reactions on slides are particularly suitable as rapid qualitative tests. In cases where the maximum attainable sensitivity of the agglutination inhibition tests is insufficient, e. g. for determining LH concentrations in urine, the hormone in the test fluid has to be concentrated or extracted. An alternative method is a modified haemagglutination inhibition test for large volumes which is applicable to unconcentrated urine. Due to non-specific inhibitions the above-mentioned tests cannot be applied to unprocessed serum. Agglutination inhibition tests with HCG are already well advanced, pregnancy diagnosis being their main application. Now that highly purified HCG is available, a satisfactory specificity for these tests can be attained. If the immune system for HCG is used for estimating LH, it has to meet additional specificity requirements. Furthermore, the measure of cross-reaction and the choice of standard merit special attention. Finally, a literature survey is given of test systems in which LH and FSH were used as antigens.
