Tracheal repair with fibrin glue.

This animal study evaluated Fibrin Sealant, a multicomponent biologic adhesive, in tracheal operations. We conclude that the use of Fibrin Sealant in tracheal reconstruction results in a stable, leakless trachea, has good systemic and local compatibility, promotes tracheal wound healing, and reduces significantly the number of sutures required for end-to-end anastomosis.

A surveillance of human influenza virus in swine in southern Taiwan.

From September 1970 to December 1971, samples were taken monthly from farm pigs, piglets and abattoir pigs in Southern Taiwan for virus isolations and serologic studies. A total of 10 strains of hemagglutinating agent were isolated in January and July 1971, following 2 epidemics of human influenza occurring in December 1970 and June 1971, respectively. Three strains were antigenically confirmed as influenza A similar to A/Hong Kong/68 virus.

Influenza virus isolations from dogs during a human epidemic in Taiwan.

During an islandwide outbreak of human influenza in June and July 1971, throat swabs were taken from dogs and cats in 3 urban communities of Taiwan. Eight influenza isolates were obtained from dogs in July 1971: two were identified as influenza A closely related to the human Hong Kong/68 virus, and one was a strain of influenza type B closely resembling human influenza B virus. The latter is the first such reported isolation from dogs under natural conditions.
