After the first attack of acute gouty arthritis or after the passage of the first renal stone, a decision to institute prophylactic therapy must be entertained. If the first episode was mild and responded promptly to treatment, the patient s serum urate concentration was elevated only minimally, and the 24-hour urinary uric acid excretion was not excessive (<1000 mg/24 hours on a regular diet), then prophylactic treatment can be withheld. Some patients never have a second attack or a second stone. Others may not experience a second gouty episode for 5 to 10 years. Therefore a wait-and-see attitude seems justified in patients who meet these conditions. ...

In the flask were succesively placed 0.10 mol of the sulfinate (note 2), 25 ml of dry, pure HMPT (note 3), 4 g of powdered sodium iodide, 40 g of zinc dust and some boiling stones. After swirling for a few seconds the flask was connected with the other parts of the distillation apparatus, the system was evacuated immediately by means of the water pump (note 4) and the flask was then heated cautiously (free flame). A vigorous reaction started suddenly and the cumulene and part of the HMPT passed over. When the distillation had stopped completely... 

Impression Plasters. Impression plasters are prepared by mixing with water. Types I and II plasters are weaker than dental stone (types III and IV) because of particle morphology and void content. There are two factors that contribute to the weakness of plaster compared to that of dental stone. First, the porosity of the particles makes it necessary to use more water for a mix, and second, the irregular shapes of the particles prevent them from fitting together tightly. Thus, for equally pourable consistencies, less gypsum per unit volume is present in plaster than in dental stone, and the plaster is considerably weaker.

Water rate = 500 lb/(b-fr). Air rate = 810 lb/(b-ft ). To convert pounds per bour-square foot to kilograms per second-square meter, multiply by 0.00L356 to convert inches to centimeters, multiply by 2.54.

Another fourteenth century text, the Aurora Consurgens, similarly provides a lengthy eschatological account in the course of which the author refers to Paul s doctrine of the resurrection of the body.

Particulate Pollutants. Smoke, ash, viruses, pollen, sand, and in contemporary industrial society also coal and cement dust, are generally known as particulate pollutants (they occur as extremely small solid particles suspended in the atmosphere). The combination of air, pollutant gases, small liquid droplets, and particulate matter constitutes what is known as smog, which, since the second half of the eighteenth century, has beset antiquities, damaging and disintegrating even those made of stone and metals. 

The second case is probably the one encountered by Haber and Kowalska (20) as well as by Romero-Rossi and Stone (11) (ZnO-02). According to these authors, the oxidation of the specimen results in the replacement of photoadsorption by photodesorption.
