Microscopic examination of the sediment obtained from the centrifugation of a fresh urine sample wiU show the presence of a few cells (erythrocytes, leukocytes, and cells derived from the kidney and urinary tract), casts (composed predominantly of Tamm-HorsfaU glycoprotein [THG]), and possibly fat or pigmented particles. An increase in red cells or casts unplies hematuria, possibly caused by glomerular disease white cells or casts imply the presence of white cells in the tubules. Inflammation of the upper urinary tract may result in polymorphonuclear leukocytes and various types of casts, and in lower urinary tract inflammation the casts will not be present. In acute glomerulonephritis, hematuria may...

Peanut plants seem to be able to recover from funky leaf spot and grow replacement leaves for the ones they lose due to the disease. However, another fungal disease, white mold, is triggered by chemicals released from decaying peanut vegetation. Thus, funky leaf spot, although its... 

The red cells also may be filtered to reduce the white cell content. This technique is needed if there is a chance of the patient developing graft versus host disease (GvHD), ie, transfused white cells attack the cells of the patient. 

In 1956 selenium was identified (123) as an essential micronutrient iu nutrition. In conjunction with vitamin E, selenium is effective iu the prevention of muscular dystrophy iu animals. Sodium selenite is adrninistered to prevent exudative diathesis iu chicks, a condition iu which fluid leaks out of the tissues white muscle disease iu sheep and infertility iu ewes (see Eeed ADDITIVES). Selenium lessens the iacidence of pneumonia iu lambs and of premature, weak, and stillborn calves controls hepatosis dietetica iu pigs and decreases muscular inflammation iu horses. White muscle disease, widespread iu sheep and cattle of the selenium-deficient areas of New Zealand and the United States, is insignificant iu high selenium soil areas. The supplementation of animal feeds with selenium was approved by the U.S. EDA iu 1974 (see Eeed additives). Much of selenium s metaboHc activity results from its involvement iu the selenoproteia enzyme, glutathione peroxidase.

Little attempt has been made to develop drugs targeted specifically to white adipose tissue and the production of adipokines. It is likely, however, that there will be an increasing emphasis on this approach to the pharmacological treatment of obesity-related diseases, given the current views on the centrality of the adipokines to these disorders. It is, of course, the diseases that obesity leads to, rather than obesity itself, that constitute the main medical challenge.

In multiple sclerosis, which is a demyelinating disease, there is loss of both phospholipids (particularly ethanolamine plasmalogen) and of sphingolipids from white matter. Thus, the lipid composition of white matter resembles that of gray matter. The cerebrospinal fluid shows raised phospholipid levels.
