Humors

Cookies are different for each run. They make it easier for us to distinguish between different runs on the same or similar input files. Some are apt and humorous. They can lighten a long day s work. 

Finally, I have always tried to keep a healthy sense of humor, much needed in our present time. Similarly, I have managed not to take my-... 

Florfenicol concentrations in the brain, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and aqueous humor were one-fourth to one-half the corresponding semm concentrations. Concentrations in these tissues and fluids did not decrease as rapidly, maintaining a low, but fairly constant value. Because the brain, CSF, and aqueous humour are separated from the blood by specialized barriers, florfenicol can seemingly only cross these barriers to a limited extent. 

The properties of -adrenoceptor blockers that contribute to antiarrhythmic effects are antagonism of neural/humoral P-adrenergic activity, and antagonism of catecholamine-mediated electrophysiological properties, ie, increase refractory period and decrease in the rate of diastoHc depolarization, ie, decrease automaticity and slow atrioventricular conduction (1,2). 

The mammalian and avian immune systems function similarly both incorporate humoral and cell-mediated cytotoxic mechanisms, " and are thought to share a 160m year old relationship with the reptilian immune system. The immune system of mammals shows sexual dimorphism " a greater immune response is normally observed in females, which has been attributed to differences in steroid hormone concentration. In the toad Bufo regularis, sexual dimorphism of the immune system is also apparent. ... 

Vision is vital for human activities, and eyes are very sensitive to a number of toxic insults induced by chemical compounds. The most serious outcome is permanent eye damage which may be so severe as to cause loss of vision. The eye consists of the cornea and conjunctiva, the choroid, the iris, and the ciliary body. It also contains the retina, which is of neural origin, and the optic nerve. The retina contains photoreceptors, a highly specific light-sensitive type of neural tissue. The eye also contains the lens and a small cerebrospinal fluid system, the aqueous humor system, that is important for the maintenance of the steady state of hydration of the lens and thus the transparency of the eye. 

The eye has its own hydraulic system, and disturbances in it may cau.se serious damage to the eye. The normal eye pressure is 22 mm Hg, but when the pressure increases to 28-30 mm Hg, the optic nerve is squeezed and becomes hypoxic. This increase in the eye pressure may be due to acids or alkali causing inflammation in the anterior chamber of the eye, blocking the outflow of aqueous humor back into the systemic circulation.

Missing from this list is Peter McGahey, my developmental editor, who deserves special thanks. He soothed frayed nerves and lifted sagging spirits with his positive, optimistic personality. His good humor provided an extra dose of energy. It also helped to get off topic once in a while to chat about tulip bulbs in the spring and perennials in the summer Thanks, Peter. You were an oasis of calm on many days. 

Sprinkled throughout the text are a number of short notes in the margin. Many of these are of the now, hear this variety, others are mnemonics, and still others make points that we forgot to put in the text. (These were contributed by your fellow students.) Some—probably fewer than we think—are supposed to be humorous. See, for example, the reference to ice skating on page 239 through five editions WLM thought it was uproariously funny. 

The authors also are indebted to Mrs. Phyllis Reid for her skills in desktop publishing, ChemDraw, and other computer software programs, but mostly for her perseverance and good humor during the many revisions of this book. Phyllis input has improved the quality of this product and her knowledge has allowed us to put the entire manuscript into an electronic format. 

People are going to think you re the biggest drunk on Earth, the bartender said, without enough humor, I thought. 

In the right drinking circles, that s humor that passes for dry.
