    Notes: Summary Conventional imaging with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may show abnormalities in central nervous system Behcet's syndrome but is normal in some cases. Recently in two cases positron emission tomography has shown abnormalities in blood flow and glucose metabolism far more extensive than the abnormalities seen on CT and MRI scans in the same patients. We report a patient with neuro-Behcet's syndrome presenting with headache and personality change in whom CT and MRI brain imaging was normal, but regional cerebral blood flow imaging using single photon emission tomography with the tracer HMPAO showed extensive perfusion deficits which partially reversed after 3 months of prednisolone therapy. This technique may aid the diagnosis of cerebral involvement in Behcet's syndrome, although the cause and incidence of the perfusion deficits need further evaluation.

    Notes: Summary Altered baroreflex function may contribute to the cardiovascular changes associated with weightlessness. Since central blood volume (CBV) increases during simulated weightlessness, we have examined the possibility that acute changes in CBV may modify baroreceptor function. We used graded head-up tilt (HUT) and head-down tilt (HDT) to induce changes in CBV, and neck suction to stimulte carotid baroreceptors, in 6 subjects. The increase in pulse interval induced by a negative pressure of 8.2 kPa (62 mm Hg) imposed for 10 s while supine was compared with the increase while tilted for 8 min at ± 15
