A preterm infant with hypophosphataemic rickets became hypocalcaemic when given milk specially formulated for preterm infants that contained increased phosphorus and calcium. The rickets resolved ...spontaneously. Routine calcium and phosphorus supplementation for preterm neonates should be investigated further.
Benzonitriles have been evaluated as potential antiradiation agents in mice. They have an interesting radioprotective activity, in particular 3,5-dinitrobenzonitrile, one of the non-sulfur-containing ...radioprotective compounds which presents a consistent DRF (DRF = 1.35).
Abstract : Sérologie results of the 1969 mission in Ammassalik. The aim of this mission was to study individuals not having been tested before by any previous french or danish expedition (Gessain ...1935, Skeller 1950, Tingsgaard 1962). Before the departure of the mission for Ammassalik in 1969 a list of these individuals, never serologica'lly determined, has been established by the C.R.A. ; blood samples have been obtained from 130 individuals. This sample was only made to complete previous work; it is too small to allow any estimation of gene frequencies or any other form of statistic or genetic analysis. Results are given in the rough — phenotypes counting — especially because the necessity of completing an already very important sample made us collect an heterogeneous group of individuals some of which were relatives and the others were not. Definitely we must not look for another explanation to such facts as the high frequency of phenotype AB in our results. Results. Table I gives results concerning red cells typing. We must add that the 130 individuals were all Rhesus positive, Kell negative, vw negative and i positive ; no red cells antigènes have been found in the Lewis system. Table II gives results concerning Gm and Inv. systems. The GmB factor corresponds to Gm 25 (described by Blanc et al.) of the international nomenclature. Table III gives results concerning haptoglobins. Hematimetric and cytoche- mical studies have been made on some samples. Hemoglobins have been found all normal. No case of treponematosis has been found (test of Kline and B.W. Kolmer, all negative).

In this work, we present the first AMBER observations, of the Wolf-Rayet and O (WR+O) star binary system y2 Velorum. The AMBER instrument was used with the telescopes UT2, UT3, and UT4 on baselines ...ranging from 46m to 85m. It delivered spectrally dispersed visibilities, as well as differential and closure phases, with a resolution R = 1500 in the spectral band 1.95-2.17 micron. We interpret these data in the context of a binary system with unresolved components, neglecting in a first approximation the wind-wind collision zone flux contribution. We show that the AMBER observables result primarily from the contribution of the individual components of the WR+O binary system. We discuss several interpretations of the residuals, and speculate on the detection of an additional continuum component, originating from the free-free emission associated with the wind-wind collision zone (WWCZ), and contributing at most to the observed K-band flux at the 5% level. The expected absolute separation and position angle at the time of observations were 5.1±0.9mas and 66±15° respectively. However, we infer a separation of 3.62+0.11-0.30 mas and a position angle of 73+9-11°. Our analysis thus implies that the binary system lies at a distance of 368+38-13 pc, in agreement with recent spectrophotometric estimates, but significantly larger than the Hipparcos value of 258+41-31 pc.
