    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei 44 Gesunden und 30 unselektionierten Diabetikern wurde die Latenz der F-Welle in Abhängigkeit von der Armlänge bei Reizung des N. medianus untersucht und mit den Ergebnissen der konventionellen Nervenleitgeschwindigkeitsmessung verglichen. Die Latenz der F-Welle des N. medianus ist nur unter Berücksichtigung der Armlänge, zu der sie positiv korreliert ist, diagnostisch relevant. Die Messung der F-Wellen-Latenz erbrachte im Vergleich zur konventionellen NLG-Bestimmung eine klarere Trennung von Normalbereich und pathologischem Bereich. Dies ist darauf zurückzuführen, daß sich diskrete Leitverzögerungen über eine ca. 5–6fach längere Wegstrecke, wie dies bei der anti- und orthodromen Impulsleitung über motorische Nervenfasern für die F-Welle der Fall ist, deutlicher aufsummieren. — Die aus der F-Wellen-Latenz ermittelten Nervenleitgeschwindigkeiten zeigen eine 3–4fach geringere Streuung als die konventionellen Nervenleitgeschwindigkeiten. Die Methode der F-Wellen-Latenzbestimmung, die nur einen Reizort benötigt, erscheint daher geeignet, beginnende Stadien einer Leitverzögerung motorischer Nervenanteile früher und eindeutiger zu erfassen als die konventionelle NLG-Bestimmung.
    Notes: Summary The N. medianus was stimulated electrically in 44 healthy persons and in 30 unselected diabetics. Latencies of the F wave were measured, corrected for different lengths of the upper extremity, and used for computation of nerve conduction velocity. In comparison with conventional motor nerve conduction velocities the F wave latencies showed a more pronounced difference between the normal and the pathological (diabetic) range. The F wave nerve conduction velocities also varied less than conventional nerve conduction velocities. The explanation for this might be that the F wave recordings are the result of a full anti- and orthodromic impulse propagation which travels 5 to 6 times further than the impulse measured with conventional nerve conduction velocity methods. Therefore small delays of nerve conduction will be amplified and can be better recognized by F wave latency measurements. The present findings suggest that F wave latencies may be more sensitive than conventional nerve conduction velocities in evaluating mild cases and in identifying the initial phases of neuropathies.

    Notes: Abstract Researchers worked with farmers in eastern Uganda to develop alternatives for soil management using crotalaria (Crotalaria ochroleuca), mucuna (Mucuna pruriens var. utilis), lablab (Dolichos lablab), and canavalia (Canavalia ensiformis) as green manures in short-term fallows. The participatory research was part of a community-based approach for systems improvement. Grain yields of maize (Zea mays) and bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) following one season of crotalaria fallow were 41% and 43%, respectively, more than following a two-season weedy fallow. Grain yields of maize following a one-season fallow with mucuna and lablab were 60% and 50% higher, respectively, as compared with maize following maize. Maize and bean yield were more, although effects were small, during the second and third subsequent seasons, indicating probable residual effects of the green manures. Mucuna and lablab were successfully produced by intersowing into maize at three weeks after sowing maize, although the yields of the associated maize crop were reduced by 24% to 28%. Farmers estimated the labor requirements for mucuna and lablab to be less than for crotalaria. Farmers independently experimented on how these species can be integrated into banana (Musa spp.), coffee (Coffea robusta), sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), and cassava (Manihot esculenta) production systems. Farmers reported that the beneficial effects of the green manures included higher food-crop yields; weed suppression; improved soil fertility, soil moisture, and soil tilth; and erosion control. Mucuna and lablab were preferred because of reduced labor requirements and increased net benefits compared with continuous cropping. Farmer participation in the green manure research resulted in efficient generation and adaptation of green manure technology now being promoted in eastern and central Uganda.
