✦ Synopsis

Quail have a form of refractoriness to long daylengths that is relative and not absolute. The properties of "relative refractoriness" are compared with the more typical "absolute" form seen in starlings and the question is posed as to whether the two types represent the extremes of a single underlying process or are quite separate phenomena. A model is offered that assumes that a single process is involved, and some tests of the hypothesis, notably the involvement of the thyroid gland, are described.

Responsivity to photostimulation in previously photorefractory European starlings is caused by subjection to short daylengths and is characterized by a marked activation of the hypothalamus in terms of synthesis of gonadotropin releasing hormone.

Background and Objectives: The importance of nodal involvement as a prognostic factor in differentiated carcinoma of the thyroid gland remains controversial. We therefore attempted to confirm the prognostic factors in differentiated thyroid carcinoma, with special reference to nodal status. Patients
