Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I finally got this paper at the National Library. I was really hoping to be able to determine whether the yersinia-immunostaining material was potentially cellular (ultramicrocells around 200 nm), rather than the yersinial debris the authors described in the text. In fact, you can't see which it is at all. The IEM is very low-res. This is a huge downer. We know that yersinial ReA is probably caused by persisting yersinia if it is caused by any persisting bacterium, yet without high-res IEM we can't see what's up. The case is comparable with sarc. Y Eishi's PCR and radio-ISH work (not yet independently replicated to my knwoledge) quantitated propionibacterial genomes in the lesions and found numbers consistent with pathogenesis. As I recall, he also found the propi genomes to be more numerous within the granulomas than without, though I did not scrutinize his work on that point. But, propis are probably common in the normal lung very low density, and it's possible that sarc could cause their (dead) genomes to pile up for some strange reason. Past EM investigations of sarc turned up nothing. Living propi ultramicrocells could probably have been overlooked, but if they are there they need to be lit up with high-res IEM. So horrible is my pent-up yearning for high-res IEM... when I get to heaven I'm immediately going to get a completely huge bowl of popcorn and sit down to watch " The Complete History of Earth at Atomic Resolution, " now conveniently re-issued on 10^83496344456 DVDs. > > I just got Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology 12: 255-259, 1994. > > This is an electron microscopy study of yersinia antigens in yersinia > ReA.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 There is a room in hell where they make you watch all those DVDs too. Just depends on the person ;-) --Bob wrote: So horrible is my pent-up yearning for high-res IEM... when I get to heaven I'm immediately going to get a completely huge bowl of popcorn and sit down to watch "The Complete History of Earth at Atomic Resolution," now conveniently re-issued on 10^83496344456 DVDs.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Lol! Sorry, but that's funny too. More motivation for me not to go to hell. though, I'm not so sure. He might think it's worth it if it's no longer playing in Heaven. :-) pennyBob Grommes <bob@...> wrote: There is a room in hell where they make you watch all those DVDs too.
