| Authors:
V. D. Yankovskyi; O. P. Morozov; M. P. Adamenko; FOREIGN TECHNOLOGY DIV WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OHIO
|
 | The authors conducted a series of experiments and found that dogs can be reanimated following clinical death resulting from radial accelerations of up to 40 G by a method of artificial circulation. The longest periods of clinical death due to radial accelerations following which full restoration of functions could be attained varied from 15 min 45 sec to 19 min 30 sec. The reanimated dogs live for years, bear normal ... |

|
| The central nervous system is the seat par excellence of the virus of experimental encephalomyelitis of the Equidae. In the dog and the rabbit, the virus is encountered with an equal virulence in all the segments of the cerebral-spinal axis: Ammon's horn, chiasma of the optic nerves, quadrigeminal anterior tumors; white substance of the orbital lobes and of the ceiling of the lateral ventricle; arbor vitae of the cerebellum; pyramids ... |

|
 | Pneumography is used extensively both in experiments and in clinicophysiological examinations. From the pneumograms it is possible to assess the nature and regulation of external respiration under normal conditions as well as changes in the presence of various pathological conditions and under the influence of various agents on the organism. However, while in man and large animals the recording of respiratory excursions can be readily made, in small laboratory animals ... |

|
| This monograph presents the results of many years of research on regularities in animal behavior by the conditioned-reflex method. A great deal of attention is paid to complex conditioned motor reflexes induced in response to auditory and visual stimuli, taking into account their spatial localization and the spatial position of the animal itself. Use of various drugs, extirpation and transection at different cerebral levels, and X-irradiation enabled the authors to ... |

|
| It is concluded that the hamster is a very useful animal for experimentally studying blastomycosis, especially South American blastomycosis. It is the only animal in which a generalized infection is easily obtained. Intraperitoneal infections produce particularly interesting results. Masses of cells consisting entirely of B. brasiliensis were observed. |

|
| Over the years, it has been possible to demonstrate that in the complete absence of all bacteria, germfree rats could not develop dental decay even though ingesting a caries-inducing diet for as long as 150 days when the early experiments were terminated. Later, in the presence of an enterococcus (Streptococcus sp) isolated from a rat in the external environment and with dental caries, otherwise germfree rats developed caries, though a ... |

|
| A review is presented of the effects of radiation on food crops and livestock in order to properly evaluate the vulnerability of food production to fallout radiation. Food supplies and food production have always played important roles in recovery from major disasters. Much more information is needed on the radiation sensitivity at different stages of growth for the principal food crops to gamma and beta radiation. Direct retention of fallout ... |

|
| In field and laboratory experiments designed to study overall blast effects, incidental observations were made of the ears of over 490 animals. Those inside structures were exposed to a variety of 'atypical' blast waves. Those located inside shock tubes or in the open when high explosives were detonated were exposed to fairly 'typical' wave forms. An attempt was made to relate the incidence of eardrum rupture to various elements of ... |

|
| The report describes the establishment of an infectious-disease-free colony of mice from germ-free stock. The mice subsequently became contaminated with a defined group of organisms. It was concluded that a sustained-barrier mouse colony, free from many microorganisms found in conventional colonies, can be developed from carefully screened, commercially supplied, germ-free mice. The chief source of contamination in colony rooms was the working staff, even though rigorous precautions were taken to ... |

|
| During a histological study of the internal organs of experimental animals, vaccinated with the STI-1 and 34-F2 strains, changes which are characteristic for anthrax were not revealed. Insignificant changes, detected in the liver, heart and kidneys of vaccinated animals, represented a reaction to the introduction of the antigen. When rabbits and guinea pigs received the STI-1 and 34-F2 vaccine strains, changes developed at the site of injection, the lymph nodes, ... |

| North American blastomycosis is a chronic granulomatous disease of man and animals caused by the fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis. In this male coonhound, lesions were present in the lungs, thoracic and mesenteric lymph nodes and the eye. The ocular lesions were particularly striking and as such are described in detail. No lesions were apparent in the intestinal tract, liver, spleen, kidneys, adrenals, pancreas, testes, urinary bladder, prostate, brain, or spinal cord. ... |

| Consider experimental treatments with consequences so irreversible that baseline performance cannot be recovered. The conventional method of assessing the effects of such treatments by statistical means involves separate experimental and control groups. An alternative proposed here is to administer the experimental treatment to each subject, one subject at a time and in a random order; whenever any subject receives the experimental treatment, those subjects which have not yet received it ... |

| Studies were made in order to assess the significance of the results obtained in the California mastitis test. Besides the known wetting agents, urea, guanidin hydrochloride, sodium salicylate, heparin solution, and sodium desoxycholate may also react in the California test. The use of a urea-sodium dodecyl sulfate as a reagent is recommended, since it allows better differentiation than solutions of the pure wetting agent. (Author) |

|
| A unique defense mechanism against Bacillus anthracis was demonstrated by the Pitman-Moore variety of dwarf swine. A large percentage of spores failed to germinate in vivo when massive doses were administered via either the respiratory or intraperitoneal route. Only spores with no apparent outgrowth of vegetative cells could be cultured from the blood. Therefore the defense mechanism enables the swine to prevent germination and outgrowth of B. anthracis spores in ... |

|
| Equine sporotrichoses generally take one of two forms most frequently encountered in man: a disseminated gummatous hypodermic form, and a centripetal gummatous lymphangitis; occasionally, there are nasal and conjunctival lesions. In one case, autopsy revealed pulmonary sporotrichotic nodules. The development of the lesions is the same as in man: a hard nodule which softens, suppurates, and eventually ulcerates. The duration of the malady is indefinite; its animal victims die of ... |

| The viscosity of milk was determined by means of a very simple apparatus. This apparatus consisted of a funnel that debouches into a capillary of a definite length and diameter (BMR funnel). The investigation proceeded as follows: A mixture of 0.6 ml milk and 0.4 ml 3% Na-lauryl sulfate was poured into the funnel while the capillary at the bottom of the apparatus remained closed. The capillary was then opened ... |

|
| The study was designed to develop a method for sterilizing vitamin-fortified commercial diets for feeding germ-free and defined-flora rodents that would (a) require less time and (b) not destroy vitamins. Feed contaminated with Bacillus stearothermophilus and B. subtilis was sterilized in high-temperature, high-prevacuum autoclave and assayed for vitamin A, thiamine, and pantothenic acid. It was found that: (1) The use of high-temperature, high-prevacuum autoclaves makes possible a reduction in the ... |

Prophylactic protective innoculations are the means with which animal husbandry can be freed ... |
