Abstract: It has been demonstrated that dengue virus can be propagated by intracerebral inoculation in mice. Although initial adaptation to the mouse is a tedious and difficult process, 16 consecutive passages have been achieved already in one series and further passages are in progress. The virus propagated in mice produced dengue in human volunters, but was not pathogenic for cotton rats, hamsters, guinea pigs or rabbits. Although it was evident that even after 2 serial passages in mice the virus produced a modified type of disease in human beings, tests with the 7th, 9th and 10th passage material indicated that the modification had become so marked that it could be used as a vaccine for the production of immunity against dengue.

Abstract: A new antibiotic "bacitracin" has been recovered from a strain of the B. subtilis group of organisms. It is neutral, water-soluble, non-toxic and relatively heat stable. In vitro it is active chiefly against Grampositive organisms, but the gonococcus and meningococcus are susceptible to its action. It is also active in vivo against experimentally produced hemolytic streptococcal infections in mice and gas gangrene infections in guinea pigs. Clinical use in hemolytic streptococcal and staphylococcal infections in man have given encouraging results.

Abstract: The classic case for why government must support science—with a new essay by physicist and former congressman Rush Holt on what democracy needs from science today Science, the Endless Frontier is recognized as the landmark argument for the essential role of science in society and government’s responsibility to support scientific endeavors. First issued when Vannevar Bush was the director of the US Office of Scientific Research and Development during the Second World War, this classic remains vital in making the case that scientific progress is necessary to a nation’s health, security, and prosperity. Bush’s vision set the course for US science policy for more than half a century, building the world’s most productive scientific enterprise. Today, amid a changing funding landscape and challenges to science’s very credibility, Science, the Endless Frontier resonates as a powerful reminder that scientific progress and public well-being alike depend on the successful symbiosis between science and government. This timely new edition presents this iconic text alongside a new companion essay from scientist and former congressman Rush Holt, who offers a brief introduction and consideration of what society needs most from science now. Reflecting on the report’s legacy and relevance along with its limitations, Holt contends that the public’s ability to cope with today’s issues—such as public health, the changing climate and environment, and challenging technologies in modern society—requires a more capacious understanding of what science can contribute. Holt considers how scientists should think of their obligation to society and what the public should demand from science, and he calls for a renewed understanding of science’s value for democracy and society at large. A touchstone for concerned citizens, scientists, and policymakers, Science, the Endless Frontier endures as a passionate articulation of the power and potential of science.

Abstract: Either 50 mg 1(-)tryptophane or 1.0 mg nicotinic acid per 100 gms of ration completely counteracts the growth retardation caused by the inclusion of 40 per cent. corn grits in a low protein ration. A possible explanation of this observation is discussed.

Abstract: THIS brief summary of results obtained by British and American chemists, issued under the joint auspices of the Committee on Medical Research (Office of Scientific Research and Development, Washington) and the Medical Research Council (London), is a preliminary notice of the principal findings secured up to the end of 1944 in a collaborative effort of a large number of investigators, unnamed at present. It implies some corrections of published data; authors of early publications are among those who have cleared up these points. For the sake of clearness, the account is not given in chronological order of development. The primary object of this communication is to disclose significant facts which have been confirmed by unequivocal synthesis and to record a few essential points which are still matter for conjecture. Full details will be disclosed at a later stage, together with an account of experiments not referred to in this report.

Abstract: White dwarfs have been known for slightly more than fifty years; with their planet-like diameters, and stellar-like masses their densities are enormously much higher than those of ‘normal’ stars. They thus appear to represent a state of matter totally unknown and possibly unattainable on earth.

Abstract: Penicillin combines with human serum albumin, as demonstrated by dialysis experiments. Unlike the sulfonamfide-albumin complex, the penicillin-albumin possesses antibiotic activity. Such a complex can be freed of unbound penicillin by repeated precipitation at 50 per cent. alcohol and obtained as a dried powder. Mouse excretion studies indicated that the penicillin-albumin complex was excreted more slowly than the sodium salt of penicillin.
