    Notes: Background There is a lack of good data about patient satisfaction with teledermatology and about its potential interaction with quality-of-life factors. Objectives To assess the association between perceived skin-related quality of life and patient satisfaction with a nurse-led teledermatology service. Methods In a mobile nurse-led teledermatology clinic located in four inner city general practices in Manchester, the teledermatology service used digital cameras to capture and store images of skin conditions for remote diagnosis by dermatologists. One hundred and twenty-three adult patients, non-urgent dermatology referrals from primary care, completed the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and a 15-item patient satisfaction questionnaire. Results In common with other studies of patient satisfaction, subjects reported highly favourable views of ‘hotel’ aspects of the service (93%) and found it ‘convenient’ (86%). However, 40% of patients would have preferred to have had a conventional face-to-face consultation with a dermatologist, and 17% felt unable to speak freely about their condition. Patient satisfaction with the service was related to quality of life. Patients reporting lower quality of life as measured by the DLQI were more likely to prefer a face-to-face encounter with a dermatologist (r = 0·216, P 〈 0·05), and to evince anxiety about being photographed (r = 0·223, P 〈 0·05). Conclusions Patient acceptance and satisfaction with telemedicine services is complicated by patients' subjective health status. Telehealthcare providers need to recognize that patients with poor quality of life may want and benefit from face-to-face interaction with expert clinicians.

    Notes: Abstract This paper is intended to complement recent work in facilitating the assessment of inextensional bending in finite element models of thin shells under the linear theory. Details are given of exact solutions for inextensional bending in shells which may have arbitrary depth and Gaussian curvature where the middle surface is explicitly defined by a quadratic or cubic polynomial. It is essential in finite element assessment to have ready access to all the components which constitute the exact solution. For this purpose, a Fortran computer program is described which calculates the displacements, rotations and curvature changes with respect to any chosen orthogonal directions on the shell middle surface.

    Notes: Abstract Alfalfa plants were regenerated from callus cultures of three source plants that differed in resistance to anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum trifolii. All regenerant plants were evaluated for variation in resistance to disease caused by races 1 and 2 of the pathogen. Of eighty-two plants that were regenerated and evaluated, no plants responded differently to inoculation with race 1 of C. trifolii, but two plants (2.4%) differed in resistance when inoculated with race 2. The source plant of these regenerants was resistant to races 1 and 2 of the pathogen but the regenerants were resistant to race 1 and susceptible to race 2. No variants to race 1 were detected. The susceptible response of the variant plants to race 2 was confirmed by cytological analysis and was consistent with the response of nonregenerant susceptible plants. These plants represent a near-isogenic plant model for studying the molecular biology of resistance and susceptibility to anthracnose of alfalfa.
