New Trends and Developments in Vaccines

It used to be lately that many physicians and biomedical scientists felt that the period of 'vaccines' for shielding mankind opposed to infectious sickness was once coming to an finish. through the 1 940s and 50s the frequent use of newly built antibiotics and antimicrobial chemotherapeutic brokers recommended a brand new period in drugs, i.

"One should still relatively pass horne and mesh a web than bounce into the pond and dive some distance fishes" (Chinese proverb) spotting the ideal analytical query and making plans the research in accordance­ ly is definitely the 1st prerequisite for winning hint and ultratrace determina­ tions. the second one prerequisite is to pick the strategy acceptable to the analyti­ cal specification.

8). This phenomenon-a net absorption less than normal at a particular level of intake, associated with a proportionate increase of absorption with increased intake-indicates that there are two components in the intestinal absorption of phosphorus. This was further emphasised by the pattern of absorptive response to treatment with vitamin D. In the original metabolic studies of Stanbury and Lumb (1962), it was shown that the treatment of renal osteodystrophy with effective doses of vitamin D produced equimolar increments in the intestinal net absorption of calcium and phosphorus.

This is, of course, unbridled speculation deliberately intended as provocation! But it may be recalled that in SARCOIDOSIS, in which intestinal hyperabsorption of calcium contributes to the development of hypercalcaemia, there is an apparently high incidence of 'primary' hyperparathyroidism. As first pointed out by Jackson and Dancaster (1959), the intestinal hyperabsorption in sarcoidosis involves phosphorus as well as calcium (Figure 2. 7 ~ -;;,' /0 / IY=xI----"'rn / ~ 400~ A/< ~/ ~ ~ ~ 200 ,,* X/c/o ",-7 / .
