    Notes: Abstract Vascular injuries in lumbar disk surgery, although rare, are serious complications which may be overlooked due to a broad range of clinical manifestations. It is important that surgeons and radiologists be aware of these potentially fatal complications and develop an appropriate symptom-based diagnostic paradigm. We reviewed 8099 consecutive cases of lumbar disk surgery, performed over a 14-year period at a single institution, for postoperative vascular complications. We identified four patients (0.05%) with lumbar disk surgery-related vascular complications: intraoperative lacerations of the abdominal aorta and median sacral artery, an arteriovenous fistula between the left common iliac artery and vein detected 19 days postdiskectomy, and a partially thrombosed aortic aneurysm with an arteriovenous fistula between the aneurysm and the inferior vena cava, diagnosed 11 months after surgery. The majority of cases in the literature of vascular injury in lumbar disk surgery were reported prior to 1965. Diagnostic approaches described in that period do not reflect the great range of diagnostic techniques available today. Angiography remains the gold standard for diagnosis and guidance as to surgical repair. However, a high index of suspicion based on clinical signs and/or the use of sonography or CT is important in the detection of these complications.

    Notes: Abstract Silver sheathed Tl-1223 tapes were prepared by a powder-in-tube process. The critical current density of short samples was 18 kA/cm2 at 77 K. Longer tapes up to 1.2 m, prepared by sequential pressing, had a critical current density of 12 kA/cm2. From these tapes we have wound two coils. A solenoid coil with 5 windings was made of 8 tapes with a total length of 4.5 m. At 77 K the critical current of the coil was 23 A in the self generated magnetic field (18 Gauss at the centre of the coil). Using an iron yoke the critical current remained at 22 A while the generated magnetic field increased to 120 Gauss. A pancake coil with 15 windings, made of 5 tapes with a total length of 5 m, generated a magnetic field of 149 Gauss at the critical current of 12 A. From measurements of the critical current density of our tapes in applied magnetic fields, we conclude that coils made of Tl-1223 tapes can be used to generate higher magnetic fields at 77 K.
