  White Coat Ways : a History of Medical Traditions and Their Battle with Progress

  Brian Elliott, MD.

  Summary: "White coats, Hippocratic oaths, medicine as a calling – are these beneficial practices or harmful rituals? White Coat Ways traces seven medical traditions from their historical origins to their contemporary issues. Tracing these origins through common misconceptions – who really wrote the Hippocratic oath, are hospitals nonprofit – empowers the reader to approach contemporary controversies accurately. The stories along the way provide an intertwining history of foundational figures like Hippocrates, Joseph Lister, and Renee Laennec to downright bizarre stories of extraordinary mathematicians and goat testicle implantation."

  Vydelenie i geneticheskoe izuchenie mutantov Aspergillus nidulans, defektnykh po biosintezu pirimidinov. [Isolation and genetic study of Aspergillus nidulans mutants defective in pyrimidine biosynthesis].

  Genetika. 1978 Oct;14(10):1723-9.

  8 uridine-requiring pyr mutants were isolated from Aspergillus nidulans under nitrosoguanidine treatment. All the mutants are capable to grow on the medium containing 20 mkg/ml of uridine or cytidine, or 100 mkg/ml of uracil, and they do not utilize thymidine, thymine, cytosine and deoxyuridine. Their ability to grow in the presence of orotic acid demonstrates that the pyrimidine synthesis in all the mutants is blocked at stages preceding the conversion of orotic acid into orotidine monophosphate. All the pyr mutants are of nuclear nature, they are recessive and represent three complementation groups located in the VIII chromosome. Unlike U. maydis mutant, the requirement in pyrimidines does not increase the sensitivity of A. nidulans pyr mutants to UV-irradiation.
