    Notes: Summary The trace element content of kidneys has been documented in very few international centres. Significant differences can be demonstrated between the cortical and medullary levels of calcium, zinc and cadmium. For the West of Scotland the values for the latter are similar to those found in Scandinavia. There are significantly higher cadmium contents in subjects who smoke and who have evidence of ischaemic heart disease.

    Notes: Summary Cadmium induces a variety of effects on kidney tubules including hypercalciuria. This is accompanied by hyperzincuria. The present work shows that both of these biochemical abnormalities can be corrected but where a state of cadmium-induced-anaemia exists urine zinc and calcium excretion do not follow the expected parallel course in response to iron therapy as they do with bendrofluazide.

    Notes: Summary Cadmium injection in rats affects the genito-urinary system. The renal effects are generally considered to be mainly tubular. Light microscopy of 29 specimens confirms cellular damage in the glomeruli with changes in glomerular capillaries. Electron microscopic changes in the glomeruli confirm changes in the podocytes, thickening of the basement lamina, the occurrence of electron dense deposits in association with the capillary endothelium with platelet and polymorphonuclear cell accumulations which suggests opening of the endothelial junction of the glomerular vessels.

    Notes: The structure of human interleukin 4 (IL-4) was predicted utilizing a series of experimental and theoretical techniques. Circular Dichroism (CD) spectroscopy indicated that IL-4 belonged to the all α-helix class of protein structures. Secondary structure prediction, site-directed mutagenesis, and CD spectroscopy suggested a predominantly α-helical structure, consistent with a four-helix bundle structural motif. A human/mouse IL-4 chimera was constructed to qualitatively evaluate alternative secondary structure predictions. The four predicted helices were assembled into tertiary structures using established algorithms. The mapping of three disulfide bridges in IL-4 provided additional constraints on possible tertiary structures. Using accessible surface contact area as a criterion, the most suitable structures were right handed all antiparallel four-helix bundles with two overhand loop connections. Successful loop closure and incorporation of the three disulfide constraints were possible while maintaining the expected shape, solvent accessibility, and steric interactions between loops and helices. Lastly, energy minimization was used to regularize the chain.

    Notes: Abstract Progress in the development of a system to provide sensory feedback of the pinch force of an artificial hand is described. Design criteria relating to electrocutaneous stimulation and compatibility with myoelectric control are discussed. Details of a practical system, presently in use by two amputees prior to full-scale clinical evaluation, are presented.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommaire Un système de commandes myoélectriques est celui, où le fonctionnement d'un dispositif est contrôlé par le potentiel électrique produit par la contraction volontaire d'un muscle. Ces systèmes sont surtout employés pour la commande de membres artificiels. Les premiers types de systèmes de commande était empiriques, mais de récents travaux ont produit des bases théoriques, pouvant prédire leur performance. Ceci devrait pouvoir améliorer les systèmes déjà existants, et rendre possible le développement de prothèses plus complexes.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Bei einem myoelektrischen Steuersystem wird der Betrieb eines Geräts durch ein elektrisches Potential gesteuert, das durch freiillige Kontraktion eines Muskels erzeugt wird. Diese Systeme wurden hauptsächlich zur Kontrolle künstlicher Glieder verwendet. Frühere Entwürfe des Steuersystems waren empirisch, jedoch wurden kürzlich einige theoretische Grundlagen erarbeitet, die ihre Leistung vorbestimmen können. Dieses wird zur Verbesserung der bestehenden Systeme führen und die Entwicklung mehr komplexer Prothesen wahrscheinlicher machen.
    Notes: Abstract A myoelectric control system is one in which the operation of a device is controlled by the electric potential produced by voluntary contraction of a muscle. These systems have been used mainly for the control of artificial limbs. Early design of the control systems was empirical, but recent work has provided some theoretical basis for predicting their performance. This should lead to improvements in existing systems and make feasible the development of more complex prostheses.

    Notes: Abstract A myoelectric control system is one in which the operation of a device is controlled by the electric potential produced by voluntary contraction of a muscle. The utilisation of a single muscle site for the 3-state control of a myoelectric prosthesis has proven beneficial for certain amputees. It has been proposed that a single muscle site could be used for 5-state control, perhaps for an elbow and hand. This paper presents a preliminary study of the error probability for 5-state control.

    Notes: Abstract Normal requirements for differential and common-mode input impedance of amplifiers for biological signals are reviewed. It is shown that these are not sufficient for satisfactory performance of amplifiers in myoelectric control applications, where accidental opening of the input circuit through electrode movement must not make the system susceptible to external noise. The additional constraint imposed by this application is examined, and a circuit is presented illustrating its practical resolution.
