Vaginitis: its diagnosis and treatment.

Ninety-nine patients with a variety of specific and non-specific vaginitis were treated initially with a broad spectrum anti-microbial agent (AVC cream) in an effort to alleviate the acute symptoms of these problems even before specific organisms could be isolated. Diagnostic methods are discussed for Candida albicans and trichomonas vaginalis which could be employed in routine office practice. This agents advantage in being effective against almost all known pathogens, is offset by its some-what limited effectiveness against trichomoniasis.

Circadian rhythm in mammalian body temperature entrained by cyclic pressure changes.

A 24-hour cycle of pressure (1.0 to 1.09 atmospheres) can act as a zeitgeber to entrain the endogenous circadian rhythm of body temperature in pocket mice (Perognathus longimembris) under constant conditions of environmental temperature and light.
