    Notes: Background The prevalence of asthma has increased from the 1950s to the 1990s. The relationship between diet and asthma is an area of controversy that has never been fully evaluated. Attempts at dietary prevention of asthma have produced conflicting results. We have recently identified allergens from cereals that show cross-reactivity with proteins in grass pollen. An early intake of cereals in the diet during early life might cause IgE sensitization to cereals. It is not known whether such sensitization predisposes the development of allergy to pollen.Methods To test this hypothesis, a cross-sectional study and an observational case-control analysis of reviewed data were carried out on 16381 patients who had been admitted to our Allergy Unit between 1989 and 1999. All the patients underwent allergy tests to identify asthma risk-factors. All information in our data base was analysed using the SPSS computer system.Results There has been an increase of 7.8% in incidences of allergic asthma and a 7.3% increase in asthma due to grass pollen in the last decade. Grass-pollen asthma was associated with sensitization to cereals. The early introduction of cereals in the diet of children was found to be a risk factor for grass-pollen asthma (OR = 5.95; 95% CI 3.89–9.10).Conclusions These findings document the progression of allergic asthma during a decade in a large sample of people who were influenced by similar environmental conditions and studied with the same diagnostic methods. This study represents the largest database of patients in which a common food is shown to be a risk factor for asthma.

    Notes: Background:  The effects of fluctuations in pollen counts have important implications for health services. Little research on the clinical implications of the vertical distribution of pollen in allergy symptoms has been carried out.Methods:  We have investigated the allergic symptoms of a population of 17 171 patients coming from our health area (Valladolid, Spain) and living in the city and villages. We compared the prevalence of sensitization to different pollens: Graminae, trees and shrub in relation with the floor of the building where they were living.Results:  Relative risk of pollen sensitization (confidence index, CI 95%) was higher in patients who were living at high floors than in those patients who were living in lower floors or at street level, independently of rural or urban conditions The chi-square showed a lineal trend in this relationship in the case of sensitization to grass pollen: χ2: 1794, P 〉 0.00001Conclusions:  On the basis of our local investigations, natural pollen sensitization appears to increase with height where the patient lives. This paper reports clinical results on the influence of vertical pollen distribution in pollen allergy.

    Notes: Abstract Vermillion has been shown to be useful in preserving human bones from 5000 years ago. Remarkably well-preserved human bones have been found in the dolmenic burial ‘La Velilla’ in Osorno (Palencia, Spain), carefully covered by pulverized cinnabar (vermillion) which ensured their preservation even in non-favorable climatic conditions. We believe the red powder was deliberately deposited for preservative use because no cinnabar mine is to be found within 160 km, because of the large amount (hundreds of kilograms) used, and because its composition, red mercuric sulphide, is similar to that of preparations used in technical embalming. This finding pushes back the data of the use of mercury ore for preservation by four millennia in South America, and by at least one millennium in the Old World. Chemical and thermal analyses of vermillion in La Velilla have demonstrated its great purity and shown that the cinnabar was pulverized and washed (but not heated), producing a bright red-orange tone.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Mittels isothermer und dynamischer thermogravimetrischer Methoden wurde die Kinetik der thermischen Zersetzung des Hexahydrates von Praseodymnitrat untersucht. Eine kinetische Auswertung der isothermen Meßdaten unter Anwendung verschiedener Feststoffreaktionsmodelle ergab, daß die Reaktion am besten durch ein phasengrenzenkontrolliertes Randomkeimbildungsmodell beschrieben werden kann. Die kinetische Auswertung der dynamischen TG-Kurven wurde diskutiert und ein kritischer Vergleich zwischen zwei Integriermethoden, der von Coats und Redfern und der von Ozawa, angestellt. Die Betrachtungen ergaben, daß die Methode von Ozawa eine bessere Korrelation liefert und daß die Resultate gut mit denen der isothermen thermogravimetrischen Messungen übereinstimmen.

    Notes: Abstract The kinetics of thermal decomposition of praseodymium(III) nitrate hexahydrate was studied by using isothermal and dynamic thermogravimetric techniques. Kinetic analysis of the isothermal data with respect to various solid-state reaction models showed that the reaction is best described by phase boundary-controlled and random nucleation models. Kinetic analysis of the dynamic TG curves was discussed and a critical comparison was made of two integral methods, that of Coats and Redfern and that of Ozawa. The results showed that the Ozawa method gives a better correlation, and the results are in good agreement with those obtained under isothermal thermogravimetric conditions.

    Notes: Abstract A so-called controlled-release glass was synthesized occurring in the system CaO-Na2O-P2O5. A certain sieve fraction of this glass was incorporated in a calcium phosphate cement, of which the powder contained α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP), dicalcium phosphate (DCP) and precipitated hydroxyapatite (HA). The glass appeared to retard the cement setting slightly and it reduced considerably the compressive strength after aging in aqueous solutions which were continuously refreshed. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) pictures and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the samples after 5 weeks of aging showed that the glass was not dissolved but that large brushite crystals were formed. Thereby, aging in CaCl2 solutions resulted in more brushite formation than aging in NaCl solutions. The brushite crystals did not reinforce the cement. Neither was the aged glass-containing cement weaker than it was before the brushite formation right after complete setting. In conclusion, the incorporation of controlled-release glasses into a calcium phosphate cement and subsequent aging in aqueous solutions did not result in the formation of macropores in the cement structure, but that of brushite crystals. This incorporation reduced the compressive strength of the cement considerably. © 1999 Kluwer Academic Publishers
