Cell adherence reactions in lungworm (Protostrongylus) infections of the Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep.

The immunological response of captive naturally-infected Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep to the lungworm, Protostrongylus stilesi, was examined throughout the seasonal cycle of parasite activity using a cell adherence assay for circulating antibody. The net effect of all stable serum factors on cell adherence was examined by exposure of normal cells to larvae in the presence of test serum (decomplemented-serum test). Homocytotropic antibody was examined by exposure of washed normal cells to larvae after passive sensitization with serum from infected animals (washed-cell test). Although the washed-cell test did not show a clear association with parasite activity, the net ability of sera to promote adherence showed a significant increase during periods of elevated Protostrongylus activity. Fecal counts of Muellerius, Nematorirus and coccidia were not associated with the results of either assay. Significant differences among animals were detected only for the washed-cell test when the effects of parasitism were considered.

Hired, fired, and not retired: an interview with a physician executive who has run the career gauntlet. Interview by Richard L. Reece.

Richard L. Reece, MD, interviewed Robert J. Hudson, MD, on April 24, 2000 to discuss his experiences as a physician executive who has made the career transition from practicing physician to managed care executive to biotech entrepreneur. Along the way, he's hired and fired others, and been fired himself. Painful as it is, many physician executives' career realities include being fired. Organizations, after all, are living organizations--they grow, wither, and molt. And as they molt, organizations shed and regrow new skin. What do physician executives do when they've been fired? They go through their own cycle and retreat, reflect, and re-emerge, often reinventing themselves as they go. An essential part of this process is looking within to plumb likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, nightmares and dreams, and positive and negative experiences. For most executives, out of these experiences has come a circle of friends and a Rolodex. Start by reaching out to the circle, by going through your Rolodex, and you can broadcast the news of your rebirth.
