    Notes: Wet thermal oxidation of AlAsSb was investigated. The oxidation kinetics was studied as a function of temperature and oxidation duration. An expression to allow accurate determination of the oxide depth for any temperature and time was established. Secondary ion mass spectrometry profiles and x-ray diffraction were used to demonstrate that an interfacial layer, composed of pure Sb and As and textured on InP, is formed during the oxidation process. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract  Objective. To describe the imaging findings of vascularized fibular grafts (VFG) in large bone reconstruction in children and teenagers. Design and patients. Fifteen patients aged from 4 to 19 years underwent VFG for bone reconstruction for primary tumors involving bone in 13 cases and for chronic osteomyelitis in 2 cases. Lesions were located in the femur (6 cases), the tibia (6 cases), the humerus, the distal fibula and the ilium. Radiographic follow-up was performed in all patients, radionuclide studies in 12 patients and MRI in 8. Results. Plain films showed a lamellated periosteal reaction on the VFG within 3 weeks following the procedure in all cases. Fusion of VFG and host bone occurred during the first 3 months. Radionuclide uptake of the VFG was seen in all cases but one. MRI showed cortical thickening and conservation of the high signal intensity of fatty marrow on T1-weighted sequences, and periosteal enhancement on dynamic post-contrast studies in all but one of the patients. Conclusion. Radionuclide studies and MRI show the periosteal enhancement and assess the viability of the VFG satisfactorily. However, we feel that plain films may be sufficient to ascertain this viability.

    Notes: Abstract Germanate olivines Mg2GeO4, Ca2GeO4 and CaMgGeO4 have been studied by high-pressure X-ray Diffraction and high-pressure X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy. The three compounds were compressed, in the 0–30 GPa pressure range, at room temperature in a diamond-anvil cell, silicon oil being used as the pressure transmitting medium. Values of K0 are 166 ± 15, 117 ± 15 and 152 ± 14 GPa for Mg2GeO4, Ca2GeO4 and CaMgGeO4 respectively. These olivines all exhibit compression anisotropy, the a axis being the least compressible. Crystal to crystal phase transitions have been observed in Mg2GeO4 and Ca2GeO4 above 12 GPa and 6 Gpa respectively. The nature of these structural changes remains unclear yet. The onset of amorphization has been observed in Mg2GeO4 and Ca2GeO4 at pressures above about 22 and 11 GPa respectively. These phase transitions and amorphization processes do not involve any detectable increase in the coordination number of germanium atoms. At higher pressure (P 〉23 GPa), we report the onset of a transition from a phase with fourfold coordinated germanium to a phase with higher germanium coordination number in CaMgGeO4.

    Notes: Summary The study was designed to investigate the antimanic profile of carbamazepine as a first-line drug in affective or schizoaffective disorders, to correlate the clinical efficacy with the plasma level of carbamazepine and its 10,11-epoxide metabolite, and to test the potential value of monitoring the salivary level. It was administered alone for 3 weeks to 21 acute manic inpatients. During the first week, the dosage was rapidly increased to 800 mg/day in order to produce steady-state plasma levels of carbamazepine on Day 7. The individual dose was then adjusted to maintain the therapeutic range of 8–12 mg/l. Plasma and saliva levels of the drug and its metabolite, as well as clinical status were assessed weekly. Overall, there was 62% globally improved patients and 77% in affective disorders. The improvement of manic symptoms was significantly lower in schizoaffective than in affective disorders, whereas the dropout rate and the need for antipsychotic medication was higher in the former group. The antimanic response was significantly correlated with the plasma levels both of carbamazepine and its epoxide metabolite, with a time-lag consistent with a delayed drug effect. Drug and metabolite concentrations in saliva were close to their plasma free fraction and were strongly correlated with their plasma levels, suggesting the potential value of salivary drug monitoring.

    Notes: Abstract. The occurrence of more than two small accessory chromosomes (SACs) in a single individual is extremely rare. Here, we characterize six SACs found in the cells of two different tissues of a moderately mentally retarded male. Microdissection combined with regular FISH demonstrates that the SACs are ring chromosomes derived from the centromeres of different chromosomes. The SACs are often associated with the centromeres of other chromosomes. Immunofluorescence with an anti-CENP-C antibody demonstrates that the SACs contain an active centromere. A possible mechanism by which the SACs originated and their clinical relevance are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The prognosis of prolonged cardiac arrests is generally related to brain damage due to the cerebral anoxia. A neurological worsening leading to irreversibility is sometimes associated with an increase in intracranial pressure. We studied for 5 years the early intracranial and cerebral perfusion pressures in 84 patients with deep anoxic coma after cardiac arrest. Intracranial pressure monitoring was set up as soon as possible with an extradural screw over a period of 6 days. No complications occured using this technique. We recorded the percentage of patients suffering from intracranial pressure peaks over 15 mmHg (a), over 25 mmHg (b) or cerebral perfusion pressures drops under 50 mmHg (c). We obtained during the 1 st day of monitoring: (a) 46.4%, (b) 21.4%, (c) 39%; during the 2nd day: (a) 73.6%, (b) 26.3%, (c) 55.9%. Eight patients (9.5%) were still alive after a couple of months, 4 of whom had no neurological sequelae; among the 76 non-survivors 63 (82.9%) had died because of cerebral anoxic damage. A daily comparison between survivors and non-survivors points out that the survivors' intracranial pressures were always lower than in the nonsurvivors and the survivors' cerebral perfusion pressures higher than in the non-survivors. Moreover, none of the patients showing intracranial peak pressures over 25 mmHg survived without after-effects. It is clear that many patients suffer early periods of high intracranial pressures and low cerebral perfusion pressures leading to a bad neurological prognosis. Intracranial pressure monitoring may allow assessment of patients' neurological status and prognosis after cardiac resuscitation.

    Notes: Abstract. We report two cases of children with malignancies and subpleural nodules found on computed tomography (CT) scan. In both cases the diagnosis was anthracosis. This pathologic condition has never been reported in children. Causes of anthracosis include a smoking environment, living in urban areas and air pollution.

    Notes: Abstract. The purpose of this study was to assess the radiological findings after surgical removal of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas (JNA). The postoperative CT and MRI scans of ten patients were reviewed. The cured group included six patients. The non-controlled group included six patients with eight recurrences. Two patients belonged to both groups as they were also followed and cured after surgery for relapse. Four recurrences were asymptomatic and diagnosed by imaging. The imaging patterns were matched to the patients clinical status and endoscopic findings. In the cured group, non-enhanced residual soft tissue masses were seen in all cases. In the non-controlled group, recurrence was always demonstrated on early postoperative CT or MR as a dramatically enhanced mass. The recurrence was located in the lateral or superior aspect of the nasopharynx (n = 3), deep to the fossa of Rosenmuller (n = 4) or out of the nasopharynx (n = 1). In two cases a remaining enhanced mass disappeared spontaneously on iterated examinations. Because of numerous asymptomatic relapses, a radiological workup is recommended four months after surgery, even in patients with normal endoscopy, to rule out posterolateral or extranasopharyngeal recurrences. Spontaneous evolution of residual masses must be appreciated on iterated imaging examinations.
