    Notes: Abstract Human cataractous lenses from patients of advanced age (101 & 85 year) were investigated by SEM. Various aspects of the cataract morphology could be observed. Even when the overall shape of the lens fibres had remained unchanged (although the typical ball and socket interconnections were barely visible) the homogeneous fibre content had changed into fibrillar and/or granular material, or the lens fribres had been (partly) hollowed out. Where there was shrinkage of the originally hexagonally-shaped lens fibres to a more or less rounded form with a wrinkled surface, the contents had changed into granular material with low density. Both granular and fibrillar material could account for a substantial increase in light scattering, resulting in a considerable decrease in vision through the lens.

    Notes: Abstract Sediments from 8 river mouths of the Catalonian coast (Spain) were examined for keratinolytic fungi. Out of 1250 river and marine samples examined, 499 (39.9%) were positive for these fungi. Aphanoascus fulvescens (anamorph + teleomorph), Chrysosporium keratinophilum, Ch. tropicum, Ch. an. of Arthroderma curreyi, Ch. pannicola, Ch. europae and Ch. indicum were the predominant species in the sediments. River samples were rich in keratinolytic fungi, whereas in marine beach sediments they occurred sporadically. The results of a preliminary experiment demonstrated that, marine water exerted a dramatical impact on river keratinolytic fungi causing their total or near-total elimination. The qualitative and quantitative compositions of river keratinolytic mycoflora depended on the degree of water contamination with sewage and on natural factors (mainly temperature). The keratinolytic mycoflora of two rivers was possibly altered dramatically by water contaminants, including poisons of industrial origin, and marine salinity. The problem of public health risk resulting from the distribution of keratinolytic fungi within the highly-frequented recreational waters is discussed.
