    Summary: "Direct access legislation and a growing aging population have led to a greater number of people with medical complexities seeking physical therapy services. To ensure physical therapy, students are adequately prepared to enter the demanding workforce, and academic educators must provide clinical case studies that match clinical demands. Clinical Case Studies Across the Medical Continuum for Physical Therapists by distinguished editors Julie M. Skrzat and Sean F. Griech and an impressive group of expert contributors was developed with that goal in mind. Twenty medically complex case studies, each with three standalone cases covering three distinct clinical settings, are presented to show medical and physical therapy management throughout the continuum of care. These high-quality case studies cover all the body systems and detail conditions including chronic, neurological, oncologic, and traumatic, which closely mirror cases seen in clinical practice. Each case study includes extensive medical data from an interprofessional team, imaging/diagnostic tests, social history, and physical therapy information. The text promotes interprofessional education by requiring learners to consider elements beyond the physical therapy plan of care"-- Provided by publisher.

    The relationship between the structures of six native dextrans and their effects on nonspecific resistance to infection (n.s.r.i.) in mice and also anticomplementary activity has been studied. The data obtained showed that the n.s.r.i. activity of dextrans generally increased with increase of extent of branching, but no direct correlation between these two factors was found. Data on exodextranase-catalyzed hydrolysis of dextrans suggest that the length of the outer chains may be important for the n.s.r.i. activity of the dextrans. Dextrans characterized by a significant extent of branching were anticomplementary, but no relationship between extent of branching and anticomplementary activity was observed.
