TY - JOUR AU - Ogden, Michael A. AB - TECHNICAL SUPPLEMENT 183 6. The rest of the procedure follows the Shaffer-Hartmann technique for determining reducing substances in blood (J. B. C , 100, 695, 1933). CALCULATION Diastatic activity is reported as reducing power in terms of glucose. Normal. 80 to 150 mgm. per cent. Values above normal which exceed 400 mgm. per cent require dilution of serum before incubation. In severe cases values up to 2 or 3000 may be found. The incubated sample contains original reducing substance plus preformed reducing substance. In terms of glucose: Glucose (incubated) mgm. per cent - blood glucose mgm. per cent - amylase mgm. per cent A NEW METHOD OF MAKING SMEARS FOR HEMATOLOGIC, CYTOLOGIC AND BACTERIOLOGIC EXAMINATIONS MICHAEL A. OGDEN From the School of Medicine, Louisiana State University, New Orleans The following method for making smears is intended chiefly for hematologic examinations, although it may also be utilized for certain cytologic and bacteri- ologic examinations. Two slides are used. One drop of blood or of any other material to be ex­ amined is placed toward the edge of a slide (A) in the usual way. Then, as this slide is held at an angle of about 35°, the material is smeared TI - A New Method of Making Smears for Hematologic, Cytologic and Bacteriologic Examinations JF - American Journal of Clinical Pathology DO - 10.1093/ajcp/9.ts3_4.183 DA - 1939-07-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/oxford-university-press/a-new-method-of-making-smears-for-hematologic-cytologic-and-MBPRk11roz SP - 183 EP - 183 VL - 9 IS - ts3_4 DP - DeepDyve ER -
