“…Only 50 (6.5%) of 773 samples were positive. This incidence is much lower than that recorded by various other workers (Moore et al, 1957 ;Roberts et al, 1958 ;Pruitt et al, 1958 ;Salgado et al, 1959), but agrees well with the findings of and Scheinin (1962).…”

“…These techniques are well reviewed by Griffiths (1961). Our experience is of four of these methods: those of Roberts et al (1958), Malmgren et al (1958), Seal (1959, and Kuper et al (1961).…”

“…Engell's (1955) description of cancer cells in the blood of patients with carcinoma of the large bowel aroused great interest, particularly in the U.S.A., and workers from several centres have described their results with the use of various techniques. Moore et al (1957) identified cancer cells in peripheral blood samples from 93 (52%) of 179 cases Roberts et al (1958). found malignant cells in 16.7% of "curable" patients and in 31.1% of " incurable " patients, whilePruitt et al (1958) described an incidence of 39% and Salgado et al (1959) one of 57%.…”

Pulmonary Tuberculosis-fohnston et al.BEDICAJ JON,, 1683 46% of the original group. The general acceptability of this regime may well vary in different localities.Since the combination of streptomycin and isoniazid is more effective than P.A.S. + isoniazid it may be possible -to reduce the length of treatment from the generally accepted period of 18 months. We are satisfied that the present results with daily streptomycin + daily isoniazid justify further trials to assess now the optimal duration of these drugs, including possibly an intermittent regime during the later stages of treatment.Conclusions Streptomycin 0.75 g. is an adequate dose and may represent the optimal dose in combination with isoniazid for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis.This dose significantly reduces labyrinthine damage. Pantothenic acid has failed to prevent this complication.High

“…This may certainly be true, but it is worth pointing out that the marrow is reinfused intravenously, and it is accepted that the percentage of circulating malignant cells in the blood which actually form metastases is extremely small (Roberts et al, 1958).…”
