25. Vibrio parahaemolyticus: suspicion of presence based on aberrant biochemical and morphological features.
Vibrio parahaemolyticus was isolated from a stool specimen of a patient who developed gastroenteritis after ingestion of crab meat. Recognition and identification of this halophilic microorganism was facilitated by the microscopic observation of a darting, vibrant motility in condensate derived from Kligler iron agar and the bizarre morphological aberrations

26. Uveal malignant melanoma and optic nerve glioma in von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis.
A case of uveal malignant melanoma and contralateral optic nerve glioma is described in a 53-year-old Caucasian male with multiple uveal melanocytic hamartomas and neurofibromatosis. The eye was enucleated, and histologically the melanoma was found to consist of 70% epithelioid cells, with many bizarre, multinucleated forms. CT scan demonstrated a non-enhanc

27. Yersinia philomiragia sp. n., a New Member of the Pasteurella Group of Bacteria, Naturally Pathogenic for the Muskrat (Ondatra zibethica)
A bacterium experimentally pathogenic for muskrats (Ondatra zibethica), white mice, mountain voles (Microtus montanus), and deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) was isolated from the tissues of a sick muskrat captured on the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge (Brigham City, Utah) and from four surface water samples collected within 15 miles of that point. In cul

28. Alice in Wonderland syndrome as an initial manifestation of Epstein-Barr virus infection.
We present a patient with serologically confirmed Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection who had illusions of size, shape, and colour of objects but none of the typical symptoms and signs peculiar to infectious mononucleosis (IM) except sore throat which developed 2 weeks after the initial visual disturbances. The bizarre feelings about the images of body and ob

29. Man, monkeys and malaria.
Bizarre though it may now seem, in the last century a whole series of experiments was conducted that involved injecting fresh monkey blood into human volunteers or patients. The reasons, valid at the time, were either to treat neurosyphilis with a relatively benign simian malaria infection (so-called pyrogen therapy), or to establish which monkey malaria spe

30. Bone marrow in nine cases of clinical glandular fever and a review of the literature
A review of the literature and the findings of a bone marrow examination in nine patients with glandular fever are reported. All marrows showed marked generalized hyperplasia of erythroid, myeloid, megakaryocytic, and reticulum cell elements with a greater or less `shift to the left' in the first three cell groups. The hyperplasia was maximal in two cases. A

31. Decelerating burst and complex repetitive discharges in the striated muscle of the urethral sphincter, associated with urinary retention in women.
A type of electromyographic activity, formerly referred to as "pseudomyotonia", can be recorded from the striated muscle of the urethral sphincter using a concentric needle electrode. There are two components to this activity, complex repetitive discharges and decelerating bursts. The latter usually dominate recordings and sound very like myotonic discharges

32. The Patterson syndrome, leprechaunism, and pseudoleprechaunism.
A bizarre syndrome has hitherto masqueraded as leprechaunism, and although it is a quite different disorder it has been used as the prototype of leprechaunism in some birth defects atlases. It is proposed that this condition is designated the Patterson syndrome and details of a second case are reported. The features of this connective tissue and neuroendocri

33. Ultrastructural Study of Long-Term Measles Infection in Cultures of Hamster Dorsal-Root Ganglion
The morphogenesis of the Edmonston strain of measles is described in cultures of hamster dorsal-root ganglion maintained for as long as 63 days postinoculation. The patterns observed confirmed those previously reported in both neural and non-neural tissue. However, in the present tissue, the development of viral material could be followed chronologically wit

34. Wilms' tumour propagated through the inferior vena cava into the right heart cavities
A report is made of a rare case of Wilms' tumour which simulated clinically a syndrome of `right heart failure', as found in some cases of Ebstein's disease. The clinical, radiological, and electrocardiographic study led to the suspicion of this type of malformation. The cine-angiographic study revealed two important facts: the impossibility of approaching t

35. Iatrogenic endometrial patterns
The histological patterns exhibited in the endometrium due to the newer progestational agents cannot be correlated with the patient's menstrual cycle or the physiological endometrium which follows ovulation. The oral progestational agents which have been produced during the past few years have had wide clinical application. Although the 19-nor-steroids and t

36. Chromosome replication rate and cell shape in Escherichia coli: lack of coupling.
The dimensions of Rep- cells of Escherichia coli K-12 were measured and compared with those of their Rep+ isogenic cells (both Thy-), Rep- cells cultivated identically were longer (but not wider), even though both strains were wider when the rate of chromosome replication was slowed down by lowering the thymine concentration supplied. This eliminates the pos
