Amyloidosis is not one clinical entity but a group of diverse structurally driven protein deposition diseases. They are similar in that protein deposition occurs extracellularly and these deposits stain eosinophilic using standard tissue histologic stains, bind Congo red dye, and emit an apple-green birefringence using polarized light microscopy; exhibit metachromasia with crystal violet; and have an array of 75-to 100-Å nonbranching fibrils by electron microscopy and a twisted b-pleated sheet antiparallel configuration by x-ray crystallography. They differ, however, in the biochemical nature of the proteinaceous deposits, the "etiology" of the associated diseases(neoplastic, inflammatory, degenerative, hereditary), the tropism of protein deposition, and the spectrum of disease manifestations. 1, record 1, English, - amyloidosis

A pseudo-potential treatment of ionic-covalent configuration interaction or curve-crossing is given which employs simple but asymptotically exact wave-functions and avoids introducing orbital approximations(...) The coupling of ionic and covalent states has a major role for many non-adiabatic energy transfer processes in photo-excitation, collision dynamics, and reaction kinetics. The favourite prototype examples involve electron transfer from an alkali atom to an acceptor atom or molecule(...) 1, record 4, English, - ionic%2Dcovalent
