    Notes: Abstract. The aim of the study was to verify the efficacy of ultrasonography (US) in evaluating the morphology of normal trochlea, especially the sulcus angle and the trochlear depth, in comparison with computed tomography (CT) (gold standard). The knees of 11 asymptomatic volunteers were subjected to US and CT evaluation of the same section planes and the results were compared. For statistical evaluation Spearman's correlation coefficient analysis was used. A statistically significant correlation was found between the two diagnostic procedures (sulcus angle: r = 0.820; trochlear depth: r = 0.802; Spearman's correlation coefficient) and the intra-observer variability for the US measurements (sulcus angle: r = 0.966; trochlear depth: r = 0.914; Spearman's correlation coefficient). The mean value of sulcus angle and trochlear depth was 132 ° and 5.6 mm, respectively, similar to those reported in the literature. We conclude that evaluation by US of both sulcus angle and trochlear depth is as reproducible and sensitive as that performed with CT.

    Notes: Summary The aim of our study was to evaluate the contrast-enhanced MR imaging (MRI) findings, in the early postoperative period, in unselected patients undergoing lumbar microdiscectomy (15/16 had total resolution of their symptoms). Contrast-enhanced imaging studies were performed, in all 16 patients of our series, before surgery, and at the third postoperative day and, two months after surgery. Postoperative paraspinal muscles enhancement was present in all patients. In the postoperative period, nerve root enhancement was present in 5/16 patients at the early survey and persisted in one after two months. A pseudohernia depicted as epidural intermediate signal intensity tissue, was seen in 13 patients at the third day MRI, and only in eight after two months. This pseudohernia enhanced peripherally in 8/13 patients and enhanced homogeneously in the remaining five at the first postsurgical examination; in the late MRI the peripheral enhancement was appreciable in only two patients while a homogeneous enhancement was observed in six. Clinical symptoms resolved completely in 14/16 patients on clinical evaluation at the third postoperative day, while the remaining two patients showed residual symptoms and signs of radicular compression. At the early MRI these two patients showed intradural nerve root enhancement. Two months later, one patient did not show the previously described nerve root enhancement and improved clinically, while the other had a positive Straight Leg Raising Sign with persistent intradural nerve root enhancement. In conclusion, no correlation between clinical course and contrastenhancement of pseudohernia and extradural nerve root was appreciable, although intradural nerve root enhancement seems to represent a clinically relevant finding.

    Notes: Summary MRI is routinely used in the evaluation and management of patients with failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS). However, its value is unclear in the early detection of signs that can negatively affect the later course of surgical cases. The purpose of the present study is to describe the MR images of early postoperative MRI at 3 days in 30 unselected patients who underwent lumbar microdiscectomy, and to correlate the findings with follow up MRI at 8 weeks and with final outcome. The findings are correlated with literature data. Early postoperative MRI findings were consisting of pseudohernia in 24 patients (80%), annular rent in 23 patients (80%), and other non-specific postoperative findings. On the late MRI the pseudohernia persisted in 12 patients (50%), the annular rent in 4 patients (15%) and asymptomatic pseudo-spondylodiscitis was apparent in 3 patients (10%) as was a case of true spondylodiscitis. Therefore, early postoperative findings have limited value in the management of patients after surgery for lumbar disc herniation, since the images were not correlated with the immediate clinical course after surgery nor with the late radiological and clinical outcome. The evident imaging changes in the early postoperative period after lumbar disc surgery limit the accuracy of the interpretation of MRI examinations.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Sono stati misurati gli spettri di termoriflettanza tra 3 e 9 eV per una serie di cristalli misti GaSxSe1−x. I campioni erano lastrine monocristalline cresciute dalla fase vapore con il metodo del trasporto chimico. Le misure sono state effettuate con radiazione non polarizzata propagantesi all'incirca lungo l'asse di anisotropia dei cristalli, mentre la modulazione in temperatura è stata eseguita attorno a 65 K. Molte strutture degli spettri di riflettività sono state analizzate nella loro dipendenza dalla concentrazione di zolfo nei cristalli misti. Su questa base si è data una approfondita discussion degli spettri ottici di GaS e GaSe oltre la soglia fondamentale, e si sono ottenute nuove informazioni riguardanti i livelli elettronici di energia sia per questi composti che per l'InSe, che ha struttura cristallina analoga.
    Abstract: Резюме Были измерены спектры термоотражения в области между 3 и 9 эВ для ряда смешанных GaS x Se x−1 кристаллов. Образцы представляют монокристал-лические пластинки, вырращенные из пара химическнм методом. Измерения проведены с неполяризованным светвым пучком, распространяющимся приблизителщимся приблизительно рдоль оси анизотропии кристалла. Температура модулируется вблизи 65 К. Анализи-руются некоторы в спектрах отражения в зависимости от концентрации серы в смешанных кристаллах. Прородится подробное обсуждение оптических спектров в GaS и GaSe ниже основного края. Получается новая информадия об электронных энергетических уровнях для указанных соединений и для InSe, которые имеют аналогичную кристаллическую структуру.
    Notes: Summary The thermoreflectance spectra between 3 and 9 eV have been measured for a series of GaSxSe1−x mixed crystals. The samples were single-crystal platelets grown from the vapour by the chemical-transport method. The measurements were performed with a nonpolarized light beam propagating approximately along the anisotropy crystal axis and the temperature was modulated around 65 K. Many structures in the reflectance spectra have been analysed in their dependence on the sulphur concentration in the mixed crystals. On this basis a detailed discussion of the optical spectra in GaS and in GaSe beyond the fundamental edge is given, and new information concerning the electronic energy levels is obtained both for these compounds and for InSe, which has an analogous crystal structure.

    Notes: Summary A systematic investigation of the structural modifications of GaSe crystals, grown from the melt by different doping elements, has been performed by convergent-beam electron diffraction technique, in order to analyse the dependence of the structure on the doping atoms. Iodine-doped crystals have shown the ɛ-2H hexagonal and γ-3R rhombohedral polytypes. The structure of crystals doped either by silver, or copper, or cadmium, or zinc, or arsenic has been proved a mixture of the ɛ-2H hexagonal and of γ, 9 R, 12 R, 15 R rhombohedral phases. Ingots doped either by zinc or arsenic have shown the ɛ polytype prevailing in some zones and the γ structure in the other ones. The ɛ modification is dominant in ingots doped by the remaining atoms.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto È stato effettuato uno studio dettagliato delle modificazioni strutturali presenti in monocristalli di GaS e GaSe, utilizzando la tecnica della diffrazione elettronica a fasci convergenti. Sono stati analizzati cristalli cresciuti sia dal fuso con il metodo Bridgman-Stockbarger, sia da fase vapore per trasporto chimico assistito da iodio. I risultati delle osservazioni hanno mostrato che la struttura del GaSe dipende fortemente dal metodo di crescita, mentre questo non si verifica per il GaS. Infatti, i cristalli cresciuti dal fuso, sia di GaS che di GaSe, sono costituiti solo dal politipo esagonale β con gruppo spazialeP63/mmc, la cui presenza è stata confermata dall'osservazione del centro di simmetria caratteristico di tale struttura. I cristalli di GaS cresciuti da fase vapore sono costituiti dal politipo esagonale β, mentre queli di GaSe sono costituiti dalla sovrapposizione del politipo esagonale ε, avente gruppo spaziale $$P\bar 62m$$ , e dal politipo romboedrico γ con gruppo spazialeR3m.
    Abstract: Резюме Проводится подробное исследовние структурных изменений в кристаллах GaS и GaSe, используя метод дифракции сходящегося электронного пучка. Проведен анализ некоторых монокристаллов, выращенных из расплава, с номощью метода Бридгмана-Стокбаргера, из паровой фазы и с помощью химического метода переноса. Результаты наблпюдений с помощью электронной микрокопии показывают, что структура GaSe сильно зависит от метода выращивания. В кристаллах, выращенных из расплава, наблюдается только гексагональная β структура для GaS и для GaSe. Кристаллы, выращенные из паровой фазы, обнаруживают β структуру для GaS и суперпозицию гексагонального ε политипа и ромбоэдрического γ политипа для образцов GaSe. Для всех рассмотренных кристаллов проведена аккуратная оценка параметров решетки.
    Notes: Summary A detailed study of the structural modifications present in GaS and GaSe crystals has been performed by means of the convergent-beam electron diffraction technique. Several single crystals have been analysed, as grown both from the melt, by the Bridgmann-Stockbarger method, and from the vapour, by the iodine-assisted chemical transport method. The results of the electron microscopy observation show the structure of GaSe to be strongly dependent on the growth method. In the melt-grown crystals only the hexagonal β structure (space groupP63/mmc) has been observed for both GaS and GaSe. It has been confirmed by the related symmetry centre, evidenced in particular low symmetry orientation of the samples. The vapour-grown crystals show the same β structure for GaS and the superposition of the hexagonal ε polytype (space group $$P\bar 62m$$ ) and the rhombohedral γ polytype (space groupR3m) for GaSe samples. An accurate evaluation of the lattice parameters has been performed for all the analysed crystals.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Cristalli di GaS x Se1−x sono stati cresciuti dalla fase vapore, mediante trasporto chimico, usando I2 come agente trasportatore. Per l'intera serie di soluzioni solide, sono state eseguite misure di resistività, mobilità Hall e concentrazione dei portatori di carica a temperatura ambiente. Il comportamento di queste grandezze in funzione del parametrox è stato correlato alla dipendenza dallo stesso parametro delle costanti reticolari e della banda proibita di energia. L'analisi dei dati riportati mostra che le proprietà elettriche dipendono sia dalle caratteristiche strutturali dei cristalli, sia dalla incorporazione d'impurezze di iodio durante la crescita.
    Abstract: Резюме Выращиваются твердые растворы GaS x Se1−x из пара, используя метод переноса иода, причем содержане серыx изменяется скачками 0.1. Для полученных твердых растворов измеряются сопротивление, подвижности Холла и концентрации носителей, используя метод Ван дер Пау. Поведение этих величин в зависимости отx связано с зависимостью параметров решетки и ширины запрещенной зоны от химического состава, как было определено различными методами. Анализ полученных данных указывает, что электрические свойства твердых растворов GaS x Se1−x , выращенных из пара с иодом, определяются структурными характеристиками кристаллов, а также включением I2 во время выращивания.
    Notes: Summary GaS x Se1−x solid solutions are grown from the vapour by means of the I2-assisted transport method, varying the sulphur percentagex in steps of 0.1. Resistivity, Hall mobilities and carrier concentrations are measured at room temperature in the complete series of solid solutions by using the Van der Pauw method. Their behaviour as a function ofx is correlated to the dependence of the lattice parameters and of the energy gap on the chemical composition, as determined by various techniques. The analysis of the data reported here indicates that the electrical properties of GaS x Se1−x solid solutions grown from the vapour with iodine are determined both by the structural characteristics of the crystals and by the I2 incorporation during the growth.
