    Notes: Abstract Despite changes in rehabilitation protocols, an extension deficit remains an important potential cause of significant morbidity following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. An extension-assisting brace was designed using a limited motion brace and an elastic strap across a fulcrum on the anterior aspect of the knee joint. The effects of the brace were investigated in 40 patients undergoing primary ACL reconstruction using an autogenous central third patellar tendon graft. The patients were randomized either to use the brace in the first 6 weeks postoperatively or to undertake the same accelerated rehabilitation programme but without any brace, and they were reviewed at 4 months postoperatively. The following data were recorded: passive and active extension and flexion deficits compared with the non-operated limb, KT-1000 assessment of anterior laxity and isometric quadriceps and hamstring strength. There was no difference between the two groups for any of the recorded variables. This was largely attributed to satisfactory tunnel placement and emphasis on the restoration of extension and quadriceps function during the early postoperative rehabilitation.

    Notes: Abstract Identification of Clostridium botulinum is usually based on toxin detection of broth culture by mouse bioassay and requires 7 to 10 days to complete. Here, we describe an alternative in vitro procedure for direct identification of C. botulinum (types A and B) colonies which can be completed in 48 h. The method is based on toxigenicity of colonies demonstrable by enzyme immunoassay and resistance of C. botulinum to antimicrobial agents, sulpha-methoxazole, trimethoprim and cycloserine.

    Notes: Abstract Lichenothrix riddlei is reported from two widely separate localities in New Zealand. It was previously known only from the South Eastern states of U.S.A. Light and electron microscopy show its sterile fungal partner to belong to the ascomycetes. Apparently as a consequence of lichenization, the variation in breadth of the trichomes of theScytonema phycobiont is greater than normal. A thin, probably gelatinous layer, covering the fungal cells and the algal sheath in the interstices between them, can be demonstrated by electron microscopy. In the contact region with the algal cells, the otherwise two layered wall of the haustoria is reduced to one layer only. In the fungal protoplast conspicuous stacks of ER-like membranes can be found.
