В статье приводятся сведения о хронологически первой (по мнению ряда исследователей) редакции известного литературного памятника XVII в. - «Сказания о явлении и чудесах Феодоровской иконы Божией Матери». Рассматриваются различные предположения о времени создания текста редакции и ее авторе, перечисляются существенные отличия этой редакции от другой, более обширной (традиционно именуемой пространной), приводятся сведения о публикациях текста данной редакции в XIX и XXI вв. В приложении публикуется текст минейной (милютинской) редакции «Сказания...» по самому раннему из ее известных списков, входящему в состав создававшихся в 1646-1654 гг. Четий-миней священника Иоанна Милютина (что обусловило и именование редакции), проводится сравнение с предыдущими публикациями этой рукописи. Существенным отличием минейной редакции от пространной являются исторические неточности, допущенные в тексте последней. The article provides information about the chronologically first (according to some researchers) edition of the famous literary monument of the XVII century- «Tales of the appearance and miracles of the Feodorov icon Of the mother of God». Various assumptions about the time of creation of the text of the editorial Board and its author are considered, significant differences between this edition and another, more extensive (traditionally called lengthy) are listed, and information about the publications of the text of this edition in the XIX and XXI centuries is provided. In Annex is the text minani (milyutinskaya) edition of «Tales...» upon the earliest of its famous lists, which is part of created in the years 1646-1654 Lives of the saints priest John Milutin (which led to the naming edition) a comparison with the previous publications of this manuscript. A significant difference between the miney version and the lengthy one is the historical inaccuracies made in the text of the latter.

Infra-popliteal veins include the tibial and peroneal veins, as well as the soleal and gastrocnemial veins collectively known as the calf muscle veins (CMVs). Acute infra-popliteal deep venous thrombi (DVTs) are often considered insignificant with regard to the risk of pulmonary embolism (PE). A retrospective review of 4035 consecutive lower extremity venous duplex scans were made in 3146 hospital patients at our Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories (ICAVL)-accredited vascular lab. Seven hundred sixteen (17.7%) duplex scans were positive for acute DVTs, and 112 (2.8%) were associated with PEs. The breakdown of positive duplexes for acute DVTs was as follows: 202 (28.2%) isolated femoral-popliteal DVTs with PE in 23 (11.4%), 304 (42.5%) isolated infra-popliteal DVTs with PE in 24 (7.9%) and 210 (29.3%) multilevel DVTs involving both vein segments (femoral-popliteal and infra-popliteal) with PE in 38 (18.1%). Of the 304 isolated acute infra-popliteal DVTs, 207 (68.1%) were isolated CMV DVTs with evidence of PE in 12 (5.8%). No statistically significant difference ( P = 0.27) in the risk of PE between isolated femoral-popliteal and isolated infra-popliteal DVTs was noted. A significant number of patients (5.8%) with isolated CMV DVTs developed PE. Lower limb venous scans for DVTs should evaluate the infra-popliteal veins. Hospitalized patients with infra-popliteal DVTs should receive anticoagulation.

Objectives The objectives were to examine the density, bubble size distribution and durability of sodium tetradecyl sulphate foam and the consistency of production of foam by a number of different operators using the Tessari method. Methods 1% and 3% sodium tetradecyl sulphate sclerosant foam was produced by an experienced operator and a group of inexperienced operators using either a 1:3 or 1:4 liquid:air ratio and the Tessari method. The foam density, bubble size distribution and foam durability were measured on freshly prepared foam from each operator. Results The foam density measurements were similar for each of the 1:3 preparations and for each of the 1:4 preparations but not affected by the sclerosant concentration. The bubble size for all preparations were very small immediately after preparation but progressively coalesced to become a micro-foam (<250 µm) after the first 30 s up until 2 min. Both the 1% and 3% solution foams developed liquid more rapidly when made in a 1:3 ratio (37 s) than in a 1:4 ratio (45 s) but all combinations took similar times to reach 0.4 ml liquid formation. For all the experiments, there was no statistical significant difference between operators. Conclusions The Tessari method of foam production for sodium tetradecyl sulphate sclerosant is consistent and reproducible even when made by inexperienced operators. The best quality foam with micro bubbles should be used within the first minute after production.

Three surveys were made in 1963 and five in 1964 in the area of the English Channel between the English and French coasts and between 3° 40' W and 5°10' W. This area had been surveyed in 1961 and 1962. Temperature and salinity were determined at o, to and 50 m and phosphate silicate and nitrate at 10 and 50 m. The results are presented graphically. Temperature and salinity were compared with Lumby's 25–year averages. The year 1963 started with unusually low temperatures and salinities higher than average. Temperature remained low in the spring, but salinity decreased. The year 1964 started with temperatures and salinities above normal, but during the rest of the year values were close to average. Nitrate in January 1964 was higher than in January 1963. Analyses of suspended matter at 12m were made for carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus on most surveys, and mean values for the whole area are given. Suspended carbon was 67 /ig C/l. in January 1963 and 51 /*g C/l. in January 1964, a significant difference. Increases in sus-pended carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus were found in spring and summer 1964.

ABSTRACT: This work aimed to evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on advancement skin flaps in dogs regarding improvement of vascularization, with focus on increasing its viable area, since there are reports that it is a potential angiogenesis stimulator. The experimental group was composed of eight adult bitches, in which two advancement skin flaps were made in the ventral abdominal region. No product was applied in the control flap (CF), while PRP was used in the contralateral flap, called treated flap (TF). The areas were clinically evaluated every two days until the 7th postoperative day regarding skin color and presence of necrosis. At 10 days, both flaps were removed and submitted to histological examination and blood vessel morphometry. The vessels counted in each group were statistically analyzed by the F-test at 1% probability. Results showed no significant difference in macroscopic changes in the wound, or CF and TF vascularization, thus suggesting that PRP gel did not improve advancement skin flap angiogenesis in bitches under the experimental conditions in which this research was developed.

ABSTRACTObjectivesPatients often bring their smartphones to the emergency department (ED) and want to record their procedures. There was no clear ED recording policy in the Saskatoon Health Region nor is there in the new Saskatchewan Health Authority. With limited literature on the subject, clinicians currently make the decision to allow/deny the request to record independently. The purpose of this study was to examine and compare patient and clinician perspectives concerning patients recording, in general, and recording their own procedures in the ED.MethodsSurveys were developed for patients and clinicians with respect to history and opinions about recording/being recorded. ED physicians and nurses, and patients>17 years old who entered the ED with a laceration requiring stitches were recruited to participate; 110 patients and 156 staff responded.ResultsThere was a significant difference between the proportion of patients (61.7% [66/107]) and clinicians (28.1% [41/146]) who believed that patients should be allowed to video record their procedure. There was also a significant difference between clinicians and patients with regard to audio recording, but not “selfies” (pictures). However, with no current policy, 47.8% (66/138) of clinicians said that they would allow videos if asked, with caveats about staff and patient privacy, prior consent, and procedure/patient care.ConclusionContrary to patients’ views, clinicians were not in favour of allowing audio or video recordings in the ED. Concerns around consent, staff and patient privacy, and legal issues warrant the development of a detailed policy if the decision is made in favour of recording.

(1) A technique for measuring the infectivity of soil with Heterodera schachtii in terms of the number of larvae potentially capable of infecting plants per pound of soil is described.(2) The liberation of the larvae is accomplished by subjecting the cysts recovered from one half-pound sample of soil to a given strength of calcium hypochlorite solution for four hours. The loss of larvae due to solution during this time was found to be negligible.(3) It was shown that if the larvae liberated were made up to a suspension, then counts made on 0·15 cc. samples of this suspension fall into a Poisson distribution and hence the accuracy of the final determination is dependent only on the number of larvae counted.(4) It was found that provided the soil to be examined was thoroughly mixed that it was unnecessary to examine more than one half-pound sample as there was no significant difference between the means from different samples.(5) Figures of cyst counts tabulated alongside available larvae show the utter inadequacy of cyst counts as a measure of infectivity.(6) No attempt is made in this paper to determine how many of the larvae are alive and viable, further research into this matter being contemplated.

Traditionally, isolation, maintenance, and testing of Spiroplasma species (Mollicutes: Entomoplasmatales) from horse flies (Tabanus spp.) and deer flies (Chrysops spp.) (Diptera: Tabanidae) have been accomplished in the complex M1D medium. A relatively inexpensive, simplified medium for tabanid spiroplasmas could expedite procedures that require large quantities of growth medium. Nine strains of spiroplasmas, eight from tabanids and one from mosquitoes, were cultured in three simplified broth media, R2, R8-1, and C-3G, and in M1D. There was no significant difference in the rate of spiroplasma growth in M1D and the three simplified media. R2medium supported the growth of tabanid spiroplasmas more consistently and with better morphology through 10 subcultures than did the other simplified media. Primary isolations were made in R2medium from tabanids collected (i) in Georgia, U.S.A., with 10 isolations from 10 flies and (ii) in coastal Costa Rica, with isolation rates of 70% (28/40) and 73% (27/37), respectively, for R2and M1D. Of the seven group VIII field isolates from Costa Rica, four were capable of sustained growth in R2, and three were triply cloned in this simplified medium. These results suggest that the simplified medium R2is suitable for many procedures with tabanid spiroplasmas.Key words: simplified media, Mollicutes, spiroplasma, tabanid, horse fly.

Gauze is an excellent material for infant apparel which can made in various forms and by a variety of methods, and thus have attracted great attention in baby care market. This study aims to identify the wicking property of the gauze fabric in baby care products, and to analyse the relationships between the wicking ability and fabric structure of baby soft gauze products. The experimental results revealed that a significant difference occurred for the gauze in the wicking ability. The cotton gauzes were found to show higher wicking rate than bamboo counterparts because of the higher hydrophilic property of cotton material. The fiber content and structure of fabric were the major parameters that affects the wicking ability.

The aim of this study was to assess the displacement of posterior teeth in maxillary complete dentures stored in water at 37°C. Twenty acrylic resin-based maxillary complete dentures were constructed with the anterior teeth arranged in normal overlap and the posterior teeth in Angle class I. Metallic pins were placed on the labial cusp of the first premolars (PM), and on the mesiolabial cusp of the second molars (M). The final acrylic resin pressing was made in a metallic flask with aid of the RS tension system, and polymerized in a moist-hot cycle at 74°C for 9 hours. The dentures were deflasked after cooling in their own polymerizing water or after cooling in polymerizing water plus bench storage for 3 hours, and stored in water at 37°C for periods of 7, 30, and 90 days. Following deflasking and after each storage period tested, the PM-PM (premolar to premolar), M-M (molar to molar), LPM-LM (left premolar to left molar), and RPM-RM (right premolar to right molar) distances were measured with an STM Olympus microscope, with an accuracy of 0.0005 mm. Collected data were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey's test (5%). There was no statistically significant difference for the PM-PM, M-M, and LPM-LM distances after all storage periods when the flask cooling methods were considered. With exception of the RPM-RM distance after the 30-days water plus bench storage period, the other distances remained statistically stable.

Summary1. A method is described for investigating the possible action of microdoses of mercuric chloride on the hydrolysis of soluble starch with malt diastase.2. The microdoses of the mercuric chloride used in the latest crucial series carried out in1946, 1948, and 1952, were what are termed “high potencies” made in accordance with the pharmaceutical method of preparation of drugs ordinarily used in the practice of homœotherapy.3. These microdoses were prepared by separate stages of dilution, the solution at each stage being subjected to mechanical shock. The solutions were, theoretically, “dilutions” of the order of 1 in 10−61 and on present physical theory would not contain any molecules of the original mercuric chloride.4. The difference in rate of hydrolysis between flasks containing starch, diastase, and distilledwater (controls) and flasks containing starch, diastase and microdoses of mercuric chloride (tests) were compared colorimetrically by the Spekker absorptiometer, and the frequencies of the differences statistically analysed, as the results obtained showed biological scatter. More than 500 such comparisons were carried out. The differences of means were examined by the Fisher “t” test, the variances tested and Cochrane and Cox's test applied where indicated. All the series gave a highly significant difference in the rate of hydrolysis between controls and tests, the microdoses stimulating the process. Statistically the significance is shown by the fact that a probability of <0·001 was obtained independently in each of the three years 1946, 1948 and 1952. The control results gave an approximately normal distribution.5. The distribution, control methods, and accessory control procedures were considered toexclude, as a cause of the effects, adsorption of the original drug and the presence of extraneous contaminants by chance solely in test flasks. The only difference between control and microdose flasks was the addition of microdose, the distilled water being common to both controls and tests.6. It was concluded that a factor, unidentified, derived from the mercuric chloride used, waspresent in solutions prepared by serial dilution with mechanical shock which could affect the distilled water diluent, that this change was transferable to subsequent “ultramolecular” stages of “dilution”, and that this factor was the source of the activity in the microdose solutions producing the acceleration of the rate of hydrolysis.7. In an addendum there is described recent biological work which is also providing evidence of the presence of an active selective factor in “high potencies” derived from Strophanthus sarmentosus by the same methods of dilution with mechanical shock.
