25. Helicobacter pylori in dyspeptic patients in Kuwait.
Two hundred and four patients, mainly Arabs, attending for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at the gastroenterology clinic in Mubarak Al-Kabeer Hospital, Kuwait, were examined for evidence of infection with Helicobacter pylori and associated inflammation. Biopsy specimens of antrum, body, and duodenum; gastric juice; and antral mucosal brushings were investi

26. Evidence for and Localization of Vegetative Viral DNA Replication by Autoradiographic Detection of RNA·DNA Hybrids in Sections of Tumors Induced by Shope Papilloma Virus
The occurrence and localization of vegetative viral DNA replication was studied in sections of tumors induced by the rabbit Shope papilloma virus, in cottontail and domestic rabbit papillomas, in primary domestic rabbit carcinoma, and in transplantable VX2 carcinoma, by in situ hybridization of radioactive RNA complementary to viral DNA. Vegetative viral DNA

27. Polymorphisms detected by random PCR distinguish between different chromosomal forms of Anopheles gambiae.
We have applied PCR amplification using random primers to distinguish between incipient species of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae. Individuals belonging to three chromosomally characterized West African forms of this mosquito, which are important epidemiologically as they differ in vectorial capacity, were sampled both from laboratory stocks and from w

28. Bronchial needle aspiration in the diagnosis of bronchial carcinoma.
Sixty consecutive patients with central bronchial carcinomas were studied by fibreoptic bronchoscopy. In all forceps biopsy and bronchial needle aspiration were performed, and in 54 bronchial brushings were obtained. The combination of bronchial brushings and forceps biopsy diagnosed bronchial carcinoma of a defined cell type in 80% of patients. Bronchial ne

29. The Use of Iodinated RNA for Gene Localization
Carrier-free iodination of 5S RNA with 125I yields a probe suitable for use in cytological RNA-DNA hybridization studies. The genes coding for 5S ribosomal RNA in Drosophila could be localized by autoradiography after a 2-day exposure, whereas a 2-month exposure is needed when the best available [3H]RNA is used. The procedure introduces one covalently bound

30. Comparison of four techniques for the routine diagnosis of Trichomonas vaginalis infection.
Specimens from 495 patients attending Johannesburg hospitals and family planning clinics were examined for Trichomonas vaginalis by microscopy of Giemsa (GS), Papanicolaou (PAP), and acridine-orange (AO) stained smears, and by culture in Feinberg-Whittington medium. Culture, Pap and GS stained smears from vaginal swabs yielded fewer positives than AO stained

31. Evaluation of immunoassays for the detection and typing of PCR amplified human papillomavirus DNA.
AIMS: To evaluate different hybridisation techniques to detect and type human papillomavirus (HPV) DNAs amplified by consensus primer polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in biopsy and cytological specimens. METHODS: A hybrid capture-immunoassay in microtitre wells was performed to detect HPV sequences amplified by PCR and typed by specific oligoprobes. Consensus

32. Centrifugation techniques and reagent strips in the assessment of microhaematuria.
During a survey for bladder cancer in a healthy male population a surprisingly high incidence of significant microhaematuria was found and no urinary sample was completely free of blood. A study of the sensitivity of the different techniques for assessing microhaematuria seemed necessary. A semiquantitative centrifugation technique, developed for cytological

33. Comparison of PCR and standard cytological staining for detection of Pneumocystis carinii from respiratory specimens from patients with or at high risk for infection by human immunodeficiency virus.
The detection of Pneumocystis carinii DNA by PCR was compared with routine cytologic staining techniques (CYT). A total of 284 clinical respiratory specimens, including 137 bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), 63 bronchoalveolar washing, 63 sputum, and 21 induced sputum samples, obtained from patients with or at high risk for human immunodeficiency virus infection

34. Fine needle aspiration cytology diagnosis of malignant lymphoma and reactive lymphoid hyperplasia.
AIMS: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of lymph node fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology to distinguish reactive lymphoid hyperplasia from malignant lymphoma, and to evaluate the contribution of ancillary techniques applied to cytological material. METHODS: Two hundred and seventy seven consecutive lymph node FNA specimens reported to be consistent with r

35. Evaluation of impact of immunocytochemical techniques in cytological diagnosis of neoplastic effusions.
A prospective study (1984-87) on the immunocytochemical identification of cancer cells in effusions using HMFG2 monoclonal antibody, and in addition, monoclonal anti-CEA and B72.3 antibodies in cases of suspected mesothelioma, was undertaken. On the basis of cytology alone, of a total of 2362 pleural, peritoneal, and pericardial effusions, 525 cases were dia

36. A Genetic Map of DICTYOSTELIUM DISCOIDEUM Based on Mitotic Recombination
A genetic map of the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum is presented in which 42 loci are ordered on five of the seven linkage groups. Although most of the loci were ordered using standing mitotic crossing-over techniques in which recessive selective markers were employed, use was also made of unselected recombined haploid strains. Consistent with
