    Abstract The influence of thermal application on dysphagia for liquid boluses after multiple cerebrovascular accidents was measured. A month-long trial of thermal application organized according to the guidelines of a single-subject withdrawal or ABAB design was replicated across 7 male subjects. After baseline testing, 6 subjects were randomly assigned to begin the study with a week-long period of thermal application (B stage), and 1 subject was randomly assigned to begin the study with a week-long period of no thermal application (A stage). Subsequent week-long A and B stages were then alternated until each subject had completed the 4-week interval of this study. Progress testing occurred at the end of each stage and at follow-up testing 1 month after the study's completion. The influence of thermal application on eight duration and four descriptive measures was determined by three judges using visual inspection of data displays. Two of three judges agreed that 2 of the subjects demonstrated decreased Duration of Stage Transition in the absence of any change in the occurrence of aspiration or penetration. Overall, this study failed to reveal strong evidence that 2 weeks of thermal application alternating with 2 weeks of no thermal application improves dysphagia following multiple strokes. Further replications are needed.

    Abstract Quantitative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis has been carried out on patients with Bernard-Soulier syndrome, Glanzmann's thrombasthenia, and storage pool defect in order to clarify the abnormalities in their platelet membrane glycoproteins. Normal individuals had values (expressed as PAS staining units/mg of membrane protein) of 5.11 +/- 0.63 for glycoprotein 1 (Mr 150,000), 2.35 +/- 0.35 for glycoprotein II (Mr 120,000), 0.89 +/- 0.22 for glycoprotein III (Mr 100,000), and 1.34 +/- 0.64 for glycoprotein IV (Mr 85,000). Total PAS staining of these four major bands was 9.70 +/- 1.26 PAS units/mg of membane protein. Patients with Bernard-Soulier syndrome completely lacked glycocalicin and had about one half (1.90 PAS units/mg) of the glycoprotein I of normal controls. These was no significant reduction in glycoproteins II, III, and IV, but total PASstaining was reduced to 4.40 units/mg, reflecting the importance of the contribution of glycoprotein I to this parameter. Thrombasthenic platelets gave values for glycoprotein II of 0.66, which were about 25% of controls, and the values for glycoprotein III (0.34) were about 40% of controls. Patients with storage pool disease gave values within the normal range with the exception of one family which showed, in addition, small platelets and an associated lipid defect. In thic case of glycoprotein (2.71) was significantly elevated.

    Abstract Collagen:glucosyltransferase (UDP-glucose:5-hydroxylysine-collagen glucosyltransferase, EC 2.4.1.66) present in platelets, plasma, granulocytes and lymphocytes has been compared in order to determine whether the platelet enzyme has unique properties or distribution which would support a possible role in platelet-collagen interaction. The enzyme was purified 5400-fold from human plasma and 4400 from human platelets. The two enzymes were similar in terms of Km values for reacting with galactosylhydroxylysine (2.75 mM) and UDPglucose (7.4 microM), optimal Mn2+ concentration (10--15 mM) and pH optimum (7.0). The enzyme was not detectable in red cells. As in platelets, the enzyme was detected in membrane-bound and soluble forms in lymphocytes and granulocytes. Identical mobilities were obtained after elution following polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the enzymes from plasma, platelets, granulocytes and lymphocytes. These studies do not support a unique role for the collagen:glucosyltransferase of platelets in platelet-collagen interaction.
