[The level of spontaneous phage production and sensitivity to melioidosis phages of museum cultures of Pseudomonas pseudomallei].

The phage-producing activity and sensitivity of museum cultures of a melioidosis agent to melioidosis phages have been studied. Most cultures show spontaneous phage-production, though its level differs in strains. Some of the melioidosis cultures demonstrate lack of phages. The fact that these strains have different sensitivity to chloroform lysate of cultures producing phages indicates their possible lysogenic state. Electron microscopy has shown the presence of at least tow morphological types of phages in P. pseudomallei C-141. These data confirm existence of polysogeny in the melioidosis agent.

[Preliminary and multidisciplinary study of three Coptic mummies of the Testut-Latarjet museum at Lyon].

In 1901 Albert Gayet raked up from Antinoe three mummies exhibited to day at the Anatomy Museum of Lyon. The study of the three mummies was made in detail as to their dress, anthropometric and scannographic findings. The clothes were characteristic of coptic civilization. The radiographic date gave a life span of around 40 years. The X-ray imagery shows the remains of cerebral and visceral organs. The sexual criteria are thought to be those of two women and undetermined for the child. Later, several investigations like endoscopic autopsy, tooth microscopy and chromosomic map will be necessary.

[Sculptor of The Cripple of the Geneva Museum of Art and History. An ancient Greek portrayal of hemimelia?].

An archaic Greek terracotta vase in the Art and History Museum at Geneva depicts a man deprived of his left arm and with two legs ending in a stump below the knees. Did he suffer from a traumatism (amputation), a mutilating disease or congenital malformation (hemimelia)? A survey of written and iconographic sources throws light on the methods and limits of ancient surgery, and on the chances of survival of abnormal children in archaic and classical Greece.

Rescued from the sands of time: interesting otologic and rhinologic findings in two ancient Egyptian mummies from the Royal Ontario Museum.

OBJECTIVE: Two mummified specimens from the Royal Ontario Museum both approximately 3500 years old were recently examined in the Ear Pathology Research Laboratory (EPRL) of the University of Toronto. High-resolution computed tomography (CT) scanning of the ancient Egyptian mummified heads was undertaken with special reference to the nasal cavities, paranasal sinuses, anterior cranial fossae, and temporal bones. The elaborate ritual for the dead that was required to prepare for the after life and our knowledge concerning the status of ear and nasal pathology in ancient Egypt is reviewed. CONCLUSION: As a result of this preliminary study, we believe we may have discovered a hitherto unrecognized step in the formal process of mummificiation.
