Sources of several errors in DNA cytofluorimetry

It was shown that serious errors in DNA cytofluorimetry may be due to incorrect illumination of photocathode of the photomultiplier in the cytofluorimeters and non-observance of the requirements to the nuclear structures of the cells under measurement with respect to their chemical integrity and thickness. The methods of the optimal illumination of photocathode in the cytofluorimeters and the criteria of selection of the nuclear structures on slides are considered with the aim of obtaining the objective results of DNA cytofluorimetry.     

Oral premedication: diazepam, metoclopramide and a drink

A technique of premiedication using oral diazepam and metoclopramide with a drink is described and shown to provide better sedation and less vomiting than pethidine and atropine given intramuscularly without a drink to a group of similar patients.     

Fluctuations in tap water fluoride levels: a potential problem for practitioners

Prior to the early 1980s, two Winnipeg hospitals provided hemodialysis for all patients in Manitoba with chronic renal failure. Because no other hemodialysis centres existed, families were forced to relocate to the city. Because of these factors, the Manitoba Renal Failure Advisory Committee proposed the development of an outreach hemodialysis program. Under the auspices of the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg, this outreach program has evolved into the current Manitoba Local Centre Dialysis Program. Hemodialysis services are now available in an additional seven health care centres throughout Manitoba and northwestern Ontario. This program has benefited many and in some instances, families previously separated by distances of up to 500 miles have been reunited. Creativity has been one of the most essential ingredients in the evolution of this unique program.     

Queueing analysis of buffered slotted multiple access protocols

Much of the literature on the performance evaluation of multiple access protocols has assumed a buffer capacity of one unit. This assumption is not realistic. In practice the buffer capacities used are larger than one unit in order to reduce the probability of packet rejection. This is more crucial for multiple access protocols, which allow moderate to high values of the expected throughput (URN, Random TDMA etc.).In this paper, a model appropriate for the analysis of buffered slotted multiple access schemes is proposed. The method can be applied to several multiple access protocols such as the URN protocol, the ALOHA protocol, Random TDMA etc. The cases of infinite and finite buffer capacity are examined separately but under the same basic assumptions. The analysis is based on the assumption that each user process can be modelled as an M/G/1 queueing system. The proposed method requires a small amount of computation and is characterized by a high speed, a fact that simplifies the buffer's design as well. The solution obtained is extremely accurate and exhibits excellent agreement with simulation results, which corroborate the accuracy of the model. The special case when the buffer capacity is equal to 1 is examined. In that case, the present approach also allows for computation of the packet delay distribution.
