Endocytosis of erythrocytes in vivo and particulate substances in vitro by feline neoplastic mast cells.

Clinical evidence for the phagocytic capability of neoplastic feline mast cells was provided by recognition of endocytosed erythrocytes in seven of 12 cytological smears of mast cell neoplasms, particularly in those cells collected from splenic tumors. The capability of these neoplastic mast cells to endocytose particulate substances was also studied in vitro. Evidence is presented that under cultural conditions, feline neoplastic mast cells are capable of endocytosing a variety of substances including polystyrene latex microspheres, zymosan particles, horse spleen ferritin, salmon sperm nuclei, horseradish peroxidase, and carbon particles.

Primary care for women. Management of common problems of the head and neck.

As the companion article to Part I of the Journal of Nurse-Midwifery (JNM) series on "Primary Care for Women: Comprehensive Assessment of the Head and Neck", the pertinent primary care management steps involved in the prevention and treatment of problems of the head and neck in women are addressed. Emphasis is placed on the diagnosis and management of the most common head and neck illnesses; less common diagnoses that may be acute, seasonal, and/or life-threatening are also presented. Collaborative roles in the management of women with problems of the head and neck are discussed, and emphasis is placed on the importance of both preventive strategies and coordination of referrals.
