In terms of sensitivity, I have found the light to be quite sensitive. Existing WB protocols need to be modified. For example using a similar anitgen/antibody system, when moving from I-125 protein A detection to chromogenic substrates, we had to dilute the primary an additional 5 fold for comparable sensitivity. When we moved to chemi, we diluted an additional 4 fold after again. Another pecularity I have found is that the manufacturer's suggested dilutions of secondaries are never enough. I recall that Amersham recommended 1:1000, but we dilute 1:20000 - 1:50000 for best results. The trick to tell which is too much (which is usually the problem with these more sensitive methods) is to discern the nature of the background. If too many bands appear, dilute your primary; if the overall background is too dark, dilute your secondary.

Date: 3 May 1996 02:01:58 -0700 Organization: BIOSCI International Newsgroups for Molecular Biology Lines: 154 Sender: daemon@net.bio.net Distribution: world Message-ID: <199605030900.CAA01788@net.bio.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: net.bio.net BIOSCI is about halfway to its funding goal!! I'm interrupting the usual monthly posting of the BIOSCI miniFAQ to bring you up to date on BIOSCI fundraising progress, a topic of concern to your future use of this resource. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this message carefully. Last year we announced that BIOSCI was going to adopt the U.S. Public Broadcasting System model to fund its operations after our DOE/NSF grant runs out later this year. Unlike PBS, we are not soliciting contributions from users; we are only selling ads on our Web pages solely to cover our operating costs. Our goal is to seek sponsorships until we build up an operating reserve of about $100,000 and then cease further promotions until we need to build the reserve back up. (The accountants among our readership will be familiar with the problem of deferred revenue which we can not safely utilize until ads have been displayed for a period of time.) We are only about halfway to our funding goal and need to raise further funds to avoid having to curtail services at net.bio.net. Fundraising is time-consuming, however, and we need your help as explained further below. Our operating costs consist of our network connection, phone lines, hardware maintenance (we will be getting newer and faster hardware soon!), plus 0.7 FTE of salaries covering UNIX systems admin, technical support, quality assurance, i.e., testing, of our system, and administrative costs (such as the time it takes to actually find/write/call potential sponsors and raise money!). Although the BIOSCI staff does get compensated for a portion of the work that they do, this project has always received a lot of free after-hours and "vacation" time labor, so we hope that no one will begrudge the time that we do charge to the project to serve you. All of the three part-time staff members, Dave Mack, Julie Lawrence, and myself, have full time day jobs and families in addition to working hard to keep this service running for all of you. Julie and Dave Mack are subcontractors for BIOSCI; my time that is charged to the project defrays a portion of my regular salary instead of adding to my income. Besides having to relocate the project, we were very busy this last year building new infrastructure such as our WWW hypermail interface to the system. This was released last December along with scores of WAIS indices for the newsgroups. Virtually everything is complete, although we do continue to find and fix bugs (many through your helpful feedback!). We are still having some problems with our WAIS indexing. The archives continue to grow rapidly. We are running over 100 indexes now versus three previously and any systems crashes cause greater havoc with the indexing than before! We are still working to fix this as fast as our resources permit and appreciate your patience, but we have been able to automate a lot of the infrastructure to reduce labor as compared to past requirements. We have also implemented new software to make moderation of BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups much easier and combat the growing problem of Internet junk mail and USENET "spamming." About 20% of our groups are now moderated, many of them by the BIOSCI staff! This, for example, made a major difference last year in the quality of content in our EMPLOYMENT/bionet.jobs.offered newsgroup which many commercial concerns and recruiting firms are using **without charge** to recruit candidates for positions in the biological sciences. We are also now in a position to have sponsors for individual newsgroups as you will have noticed if you have visited http://www.bio.net/ and clicked on "Access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups" recently. So, how can you help?? ---------------------- As noted above it can take a lot of time to contact potential sponsors if I have to do it all myself. Our request is quite simple. You can do two important things which will take very little time for you individually. First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the archives. You can now post or reply to messages via your Web browser. Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term. Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass this message on to your marketing or marketing communications department or other appropriate group. Please ask them to help support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are interested, they can then contact us for further information at our tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net. Our hope is to quickly raise several large corporate/institutional sponsors on our heavily-used WWW locations (some stats appended below), and then end this sponsorship campaign so that our resources can continue to be used for service provision, not fundraising. Many of our specialty newsgroup WWW archives are still used by small communities of scientists (and they haven't been heavily promoted yet). While these may be valuable niche markets to some advertisers, it will generate more labor and overhead having to find these sponsors, fairly price the locations, and deal with lots of smaller sponsorships than fewer mid-to large sponsors. We are striving to keep our operation as lean and efficient as possible since we are not trying to make careers out of running BIOSCI. We are trying if at all possible to avoid the administrative overhead entailed with processing lots of small payments to reach our fundraising goals. I'd like to thank all of you for your help in advance. In helping us, you are also helping yourselves, not only in keeping this resource available for all of the both large and small research communities that we serve, but also by alleviating the need for us to go back and compete with researchers for tight grant dollars! We promised NSF when we were awarded the BIOSCI grant that we would carry out this mission to make the service self-supporting. With your help, we will succeed in continuing BIOSCI's work into its second decade. Thank you very much!

I'm looking for criteria to decide when to perform blood cultures, blood analysis; when it is safe to give patients oral antibiotherapy and send them back home. I'm aware of the SCAPS score as well as guidelines when to hospitalise patients with pneumonia, but I'm seeking easier decision trees possibly efficient to manage most patients admitted for fever. Does somebody have any idea about these criteria, personal experience in guiding non infectious diseases specialist physicians in the treatment of infectious diseases, or where I could find some information about that topic ?

A bit of a potato centric answer for you I'm afraid: I know of one company in the UK that uses dot blots to detect potato viruses in tubers. We (Scottish Agricultural Science Agency) use dot blots to detect potato spindle tuber viroid in potato plants received in our quarantine facility. PCR is routinely used in the EC for testing for Pseudomonas solanacearum (Brown Rot of potatoes) and Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus (Ring Rot of potatoes). There are also PCR-based tests for potato cyst nematode identification that are coming into routine use. If you get any replies by email, please repost the information here as this is a subject of interest to many of us. Hope this is helpful.

These sensors actually do measure arterial p02 levels. Enough O2 permeates from the arterial vessels to the surface of the skin to allow for accurate measurement with the very sensitive polarographic sensors. Commercial products have been on the market for at least 20 years. Much of the Premie measurements have been replaced with oximetry, which of course does not measure arterial p02 but can infer it based on the assumption that the heart/lung functions are normal - not always a safe assumption. > 3) I feel pretty convinced a separate newsgroup to explore > biomedical engineering applications to diagnosis would > be counter-productive. > I was not suggesting that a separate newsgroup should be started.

For the information of others in the newsgroup, the Entero-test kit is a noninvasive device for collecting H. pylori bacteria from patients with stomach ulcers. This method is especially useful for monitoring the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy. The kit consists of a mesh string connected to a gelatin capsule. The patient swallows the capsule, then the string is retrieved after a half hour or so. The string is placed on either culture agar or urease agar to detect the organisms. New methods for detecting the organisms retrieved on the string are under development.
