Growth of clinical isolates of anaerobic bacteria on agar media: effects of media composition, storage conditions, and reduction under anaerobic conditions.

The quantitative growth, the colony size, and the rate of growth of 47 clinical anaerobic isolates were compared on five different media, namely Brucella agar, brain heart infusion agar, Columbia agar, Schaedler agar, and tryptic soy agar. There was no significant difference in the quantitative growth of the anaerobes inoculated onto the five media. Although no single medium was superior for the growth of all isolates, 12 of 22 isolates, inoculated onto media stored for 4 weeks or less, grew best on Schaedler agar. The effects of supplementation of the media with reducing agents and reduction of the media before use were also analyzed and were found to be affected by the composition and length of storage of the media, as well as the bacteria tested.

Conditions of participation for hospitals; conditions for coverage of services of independent laboratories; immunohematological testing, transfusion services and bloodbanking: Health Care Financing Administration. Final rule.

This regulation will provide uniformity in the requirements for immunohematological testing, transfusion services and bloodbanking for facilities participating in the Medicare program by adopting by cross-reference the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) regulations in 21 CFR Parts 606, 610 and 640. The regulations are being adopted to implement a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) and the FDA which has been signed by the Secretary on January 21, 1980 and was published in the Federal Register on March 25, 1980 (45 FR 19136). This will result in a consolidation of the survey activities in approximately 3,800 facilities now being surveyed by both HCFA and FDA. These facilities consist of hospitals and independent laboratories certified for participation in the Medicare program whose transfusion services are also subject to registration and inspection by the FDA. This regulation will result in the reduction of duplication and result in savings to the Department.

[Asthma--a condition of our time, a condition in change?].

BACKGROUND: This article reviews causative factors for asthma and allergy during childhood and describes current trends in prevalence and hospitalisation for childhood asthma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A review of the prevalence of childhood asthma in Norway over the last 50 years together with recent trends in hospitalisation for childhood asthma, is given. Possible causative factors for childhood asthma are reviewed, and recent theories for the current increase in prevalence are discussed. RESULTS AND INTERPRETATION: During the last 50 years, a steady increase in the prevalence of childhood asthma has been documented through published studies from 1948 and onwards. From 1980 and until 1990, an increase in hospital admissions due to acute asthma was observed; later, admissions have leveled off, particularly as regards readmissions. Smoking during pregnancy and childhood decreases lung function. Allergic sensitisation is related to asthma development and may occur already during pregnancy. Increased allergic sensitisation may occur due to reduced load of infections. However, respiratory virus infections, and especially RS virus and rhinovirus infections, are closely related to asthma development and symptoms during childhood. A reduction in readmissions for asthma may be related to increased use of antiinflammatory therapy for asthma.
