    Notes: Objective To assess the usefulness of a leaflet distributed to women before colposcopy designed to reduce their anxiety and psychosexual by providing information.Design Prospective randomised study.Setting Colposcopy clinic of a large district general hospital.Sample Two hundred consecutive women undergoing colposcopy for the first time for a cervical cytological abnormality of severity no greater than moderate dyskaryosis.Methods Women were randomised into one of two groups (leaflet or control). Those in the leaflet group were sent an information leaflet prior to attending the clinic. In the colposcopy clinic all the women completed a Statenrait Anxiety Inventory (StAVTrAI) and a modified psychosexual questionnaire before undergoing colposcopy. This was repeated at the six-month follow up visit. Women in the leaflet group also completed a further questionnaire on the leaflet.Main outcome measures Differences of anxiety and psychosexual scores between leaflet and control groups.Results The leaflet was well received. There were no statistical differences in StAI and TrAI scores between the study group and the control group at either visit, although in the whole study population StAI and TrAI scores were reduced at the second visit. The leaflet group had significantly more psychosexual problems but by the second visit, the scores had improved and the two groups were similar. When the mean differences in anxiety and psychosexual scores at the initial and second visits were compared between the groups, the reduction in negative sexual feelings and deterioration of TrAI scores experienced by the leaflet group was significant.Conclusions This study suggests that the provision of sending an information leaflet prior to colposcopy is not beneficial in isolation. Other approaches need to be considered.

    Notes: Background : We have previously shown that hypnotherapy alters rectal sensitivity in some patients with irritable bowel syndrome. However, this previous study used incremental volume distension of a latex balloon, which might be susceptible to subject response bias and might compromise the assessment of compliance. In addition, the study group was symptomatically rather than physiologically defined.Aim : To assess the effect of hypnotherapy on rectal sensitivity in hypersensitive, hyposensitive and normally sensitive irritable bowel syndrome patients using a distension technique (barostat) that addresses these technical issues.Methods : Twenty-three irritable bowel syndrome (Rome I) patients (aged 24–72 years) were assessed before and after 12 weeks of hypnotherapy in terms of rectal sensitivity, symptomatology, anxiety and depression. Normal values for sensitivity were established in 17 healthy volunteers (aged 20–55 years).Results : Compared with controls, 10 patients were hypersensitive, seven hyposensitive and six normally sensitive before treatment. Following hypnotherapy, the mean pain sensory threshold increased in the hypersensitive group (P = 0.04) and decreased in the hyposensitive group, although the latter failed to reach statistical significance (P = 0.19). Normal sensory perception was unchanged. Sensory improvement in the hypersensitive patients tended to correlate with a reduction in abdominal pain (r = 0.714, P = 0.07).Conclusion : Hypnotherapy improves abnormal sensory perception in irritable bowel syndrome, leaving normal sensation unchanged.

    Notes: Background : Little is known about the effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine 1 (5-HT1) receptor agonism on the co-ordinated motor activity of the gastric antrum, pylorus and duodenum under fasting and fed conditions.Aim : To evaluate the effect of sumatriptan, a 5-HT1 agonist, on fasting and fed antro-pyloro-duodenal motility.Methods : In study 1, antro-pyloro-duodenal motility was recorded for two phase IIIs of the migrating motor complex and then, following either a subcutaneous injection of sumatriptan 6 mg or saline control, for at least one additional phase III in 11 healthy volunteers (21–36 years). In study 2, the post-prandial motility was recorded for 3 h after either a subcutaneous injection of sumatriptan 6 mg or saline control in 10 healthy volunteers (18–36 years).Results : Sumatriptan prolonged the migrating motor complex cycle (P = 0.009) by increasing the duration of phase II (P = 0.02) but not phases I and III. Post-prandially, sumatriptan reduced the activity index (P = 0.017) by reducing the frequency of co-ordinated motor activity involving the antrum and/or the duodenum (P 〈 0.05).Conclusion : 5-HT1 receptor agonism increases the periodicity of the migrating motor complex and reduces the occurrence of post-prandial co-ordinated motor activity involving the gastric antrum, pylorus and duodenum.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wird über dreijährige Versuche berichtet, deren Zweck es war, die allgemeine Wirkung des Waschens und der Desinfektion von Pflanzgut der sorteArran Pilot auf die sich bildende Ernte zu ermitteln. Die Untersuchung begann im Herbst 1958. Jedes Jahr wurde cine Tonne Knollen für jedes der folgenden Verfahren verwendet: 1. unbehandelt (Kontrolle); 2. nur gewaschen; 3. desinfiziert nach dem Waschen. Die Desinfektion der Knollen mit einer Lösung von Agallol (Wirkstoff: Methoxyethyl-Quecksilber-Chlorid) wurde innerhalb 24 Stunden nach der Ernte in einem Handelsbetrieb in Nord-Irland vorgenommen. Das Verfahren Nr. 2 “nur gewaschen” wurde im zweiten und dritten Jahr ebenfalls auf diesem Betrieb durchgeführt, nicht aber im ersten Jahr, als die Knollen mit einem Schlauch gewaschen wurden. Für jedes Verfahren wurden die Knollen in Kisten abgefüllt und im Greenmount Agricultural College kühl und gut belichtet gelagert. Die Knollendesinfektion setzte die Lagerverluste auf einen unbedeutenden Umfang herab (Tabellen 1 und 2), förderte die Keimbildung und hatte die Bildung einer grösseren Anzahl Stengel je Pflanze zur Folge (Tabelle 3). Das Vorkommen vonCorticium solani am Stengelfuss wurde stark reduziert. Die Ursache, weshalb eine zufriedenstellende Bekämpfung des gewöhnlichen Schorfes und der Rhizoctonia-Pockenkrankheit nicht erreicht werden konnte, wird auf eine zusätzliche Infektionsquelle mitStreptomyces scabies undC. solani im Boden, in dem die Knollen gewachsen sind, zurückgeführt, da der Verseuchungsgrad der Mutterknollen im allgemeinen nur schwach war. Die Knollendesinfektion bewirkte keinen höheren Gesamtertrag oder Saatgutanteil, aber der Ertrag an Speisekartoffeln fiel geringer und derjenige an kleinen Knollen höher aus (Tabellen 4 und 6). Während die Anzahl der Speisekartoffelknollen niedriger blieb, nahm die Knollenzahl der gesamten Ernte, aber auch in Pflanzgutgrösse und an Untergrössen zu (Taballen 5 und 6). Daher könnte mit einem gegebenen Knollengewicht aus Beständen von desinfiziertem Saatgut eine grössere Fläche bepflanzt werden, als mit einem gleichen Gewicht von Knollen, die aus unbehandelten Beständen stammen. Das Waschen von Saatkartoffeln ohne nachfolgende Desinfektion brachte keinen. Nutzen. Im dritten Jahr hatte es eine beträchtliche bakterielle Fäulnis während der Lagerung (tabelle 1) und einen hohen Befall mit Schwarzbeinigkeit (Erwinia atroseptica) im Feld zur Folge. In den beiden Jahren, in denen die Knollen im Handelsbetrieb unter Düsen gewaschen wurden, blieb die Anzahl der Triebe niedriger als in den Kontrollparzellen (Tablle 3), auch war eine nachteilige Wirkung auf die Ernte festzustellen (Tabelle 4, 5 und 6).
    Abstract: Résumé Les auteurs décrivent un travail expérimental de trois ans qui visait à déterminer les conséquences générales sur la récolte suivante du lavage et de la désinfection de plants de pommes de terre de la variétéArran Pilot. Les recherches commencèrent en automme 1958 et, chaque année, une tonne de tubercules fut utilisée pour chacun des traitements suivants: 1. témoin, 2. lavage seul, 3. désinfection après lavage. La désinfection des tubercules avec une solution d'Agallol (matière active: chlorure méthoxyéthyl de mercure) dans les 24 heures après l'arrachage était appliquéc à un plant commercial en Irlande du Nord. Le lavage seul était effectué sur le même plant la seconde et la troisième années, mais non la première, alors que les tubercules étaient lavés par lavage par tuyau d'arrosage. Les tubercules de chaque traitement étaient conservés en caisses, dans des conditions fraiches et bien éclairées, au Collège Agricole de Greenmount. La désinfection des tubercules réduit les pertes de conservation à des proportions négligeables (Tableaux 1 et 2), stimule la germination et produit un nombre plus élevé de tiges par plante (Tableau 3). Les manifestations deCorticium solani à la base des tiges sont fortement réduites. On considère que le manque d'efficacité du traitement concernant la gale commune et les sclérotes sur les tubercules récoltés est dû à l'infection parStreptomyces scabies etCorticium solani du sol dans lequel les récoltes poussent, l'importance de la contamination des tubercules parentaux étant généralement faible. La désinfection ne provoque pas des augmentations de poids de la récolte totale ou des plants mais réduit la production de tubercules de consommation et augmente l'importance des déchets (Tableaux 4 et 6). Tandis que le nombre de tubercules de consommation est abaissé, les nombres de tubercules de la récolte totale, de plants et de déchets sont augmentés (Tableaux 5 et 6). Par conséquent, un poids donné de tubercules obtenus à partir de plants traités permettrait de planter une surface plus grande qu'avec un même poids de tubercules provenant de plants non traités. Le lavage de plants sans désinfection ne procure aucun avantage. La troisième annéc, ce traitement provoquait une pourriture bactérienne considérable pendant la conservation (TABLEAU 1) et une forte apparition de jambe noire (Erwinia atroseptica) dans le champ. Dans les deux années de lavage sans d'esinfection, le lavage étant effectué par lavage par pluie d'eau sous pression du plant commercial, le nombre de tiges était inférieur à celui du témoin (TABLEAU 3) et un effet dévorable se manifestait dans les récoltes (TABLEAUX 4, 5 et 6).
    Notes: Summary An account is given of three years' experimental work designed to determine the general effect of washing and disinfectingArran Pilot seed potatoes upon the resultant crop. Disinfection of the tubers with a solution of Agallol (active ingredient: methoxyethyl-mercury-chloride) immediately after lifting the crop was found to reduce storage losses to negligible proportions, to stimulate sprouting and to result in the production of a higher number of stems per plant. The incidence ofCorticium solani at the base of plant stems was greatly reduced. The failure to obtain satisfactory control of common scab and black scurf in the tuber crop is considered to be due to an additional source of infection withStreptomyces scabies andC. solani in the soil in which the crops were grown as the amount of contamination of the parent tubers was generally slight. Tuber disinfection did not result in increased weights for total crop or seed but the yield of ware was reduced and that of chats increased. While the number of ware tubers was lower, tuber numbers for total crop, seed and chats were increased. Therefore, a given weight of tubers from crops grown from disinfected seed would plant a larger area than a similar weight from untreated seed. Washing seed potatoes without disinfecting them produced no beneficial effects. It tended on occasion to encourage storage rots and the spread of soft rotting bacteria which exerted an adverse effect on the resultant crop.
