    Notes: Summary Coronary artery disease may be difficult to detect in diabetic patients. This study was designed to determine the specificity and sensitivity of three non-invasive tests. Accordingly, the results of 48-h ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring, maximal ECG exercise test, and intravenous dipyridamole myocardial thallium scintigraphy were compared in 59 middle-aged diabetic patients who were consecutively selected for suspected coronary artery disease. All patients also underwent coronary angiography, which was performed regardless of the results of the non-invasive tests. Twenty patients (34 %) had significant coronary lesions, i. e. stenosis equal to or greater than 70 %, and 16 of these 20 patients (80 %) had double or triple vessel disease. Sensitivity and specificity were, respectively, 25 % and 88 % for ambulatory ECG monitoring, 75 % and 77 % for the exercise test and 80 % and 87 % for thallium myocardial scintigraphy. This observation strongly supports the use of non-invasive tests for the detection of coronary artery disease in those diabetic patients at high risk of such disease. As the exercise test is cheaper and more widely available than thallium myocardial scintigraphy it should be used as a first line examination. Dipyridamole myocardial scintigraphy may provide an alternative solution for those patients who cannot perform maximal exercise, or with atypical clinical presentation.

    Notes: Summary Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is a strong and independent risk factor for coronary heart disease. We assessed the potential relationship between plasma Lp(a) levels, apo(a) phenotypes and coronary heart disease in a population of NIDDM patients. Seventy-one patients with coronary heart disease, who previously have had transmural myocardial infarction, or significant stenosis on coronary angiography, or positive myocardial thallium scintigraphy, or in combination, were compared with 67 patients without coronary heart disease, who tested negatively upon either coronary angiography, myocardial thallium scintigraphy or a maximal exercise test. The prevalence of plasma Lp(a) levels elevated above the threshold for increased cardiovascular risk (〉0.30 g/l) was significantly higher (p=0.005) in patients with coronary heart disease (33.8%) compared to the control group (13.4%). The relative risk (odds ratio) of coronary heart disease among patients with high Lp(a) concentrations was 3.1 (95% confidence interval, 1.31–7.34;p=0.01). The overall frequency distribution of apo(a) phenotypes differed significantly between the two groups (p=0.043). However, the frequency of apo(a) isoforms of low apparent molecular mass (≤700 kDa) was of borderline significance (p=0.067) between patients with or without coronary heart disease (29.6% and 16.4%, respectively). In this Caucasian population of NIDDM patients, elevated Lp(a) levels were associated with coronary heart disease, an association which was partially accounted for by the higher frequency of apo(a) isoforms of small size. In multivariate analyses, elevated levels of Lp(a) were independently associated with coronary heart disease (odds ratio 3.48, p=0.0233).

    Notes: Abstract A static renewal test was run for 30 d to assess the effects of the antifoulant tributyltin (TBT, nominal concentrations of 50, 125, 250 and 500 ng Sn l-1) on the survival and growth of 240 μm-long pediveliger larvae of the bivalve Scrobicularia plana (da Costa) settling in fine sand. Exposure to nominal TBT levels of ≥125 ng Sn l-1 (actual range of 37 to 102 ng Sn l-1, as analysed) resulted in substantial mortalities and negligible shell growth of individuals. More importantly, larval shell growth at the lowest concentration tested (i.e. nominal 50 ng Sn l-1 or 14 to 32 ng Sn l-1, as analysed) was significantly reduced (by a factor of ∼4) and grossly abnormal. In contrast, some control postlarvae had begun developing siphons as they attained a length of 600 to 700 μm by the end of this test, thereby completing metamorphosis and becoming juveniles. The results are discussed in relation to the widespread disappearance of S. plana in North Atlantic European estuaries during the 1980s and the concurrent TBT pollution in their waters. It is inferred that TBT is likely to have contributed to the reported demise of clam populations by preventing the successful and timely progress of their pediveliger larvae.

    Notes: Summary A prospective study was designed to investigate anaerobic bacteremias and evaluate their incidence and significance in a general hospital. One or more blood cultures positive for anaerobic microorganisms were analyzed from each of a total of 61 patients hospitalized between January 1988 and April 1992, in accordance with an established protocol. The clinical repercussions of bacteremia were also analyzed. Two percent of blood cultures were positive for anaerobes, with an incidence of 0.6 cases per 1000 hosphitalized patients. The most frequently isolated anaerobes were Bacteroides fragilis and Clostridium perfringens. Intraabdominal disease was the route of entry in 50% of the patients. A death rate of 37.3 % was mostly attributed to B. fragilis. Hospitalization in the surgical department, nosocomial acquisition, previous surgery, critical initial clinical status and the presence of complications were significantly associated with increased death rates. No significant differences were found in the clinical course between patients whose antibiotic treatment was judged adequate and those for whom it was considered inadequate. The frequency and incidence of anaerobic bacteremia was low in our hospital. The well-known clinical and epidemiological characteristics of these infections facilitates their prompt diagnosis and empirical treatment with antibiotics of proven effectiveness against anaerobes.

    Notes: Abstract The strata-bound fluorite-(barite-)Pb-Zn ore deposits occurring within the more than 3,000 m thick Alpujárride Carbonate Formation of the Betic Cordillera, southern Spain, are linked to two defined stratigraphic positions (within the Anisian and at the Ladinian-Carnian transition) and to definite sedimentary contexts. These are highly restricted lagoons isolated from the open sea by calcarenitic barriers with noticeable development of algal mats in their inner margins. Preevaporitic deposition conditions are usually recognized. The ore-bearing horizons are located either at the transition from evaporitic to normal marine deposition (as in the case of the Anisian ore-bearing horizon) or at the transition from normal marine to evaporite deposition (as in the case of the uppermost Ladinian to lowermost Carnian ore-bearing horizon). These vertical facies changes correspond also to the transitions from predominantly terrigenous (continental and/or coastal) sedimentation to marine carbonate sedimentation (Anisian ore deposits) and vice versa (upper Ladinian-lower Carnian). It is proposed that the ore deposits in the Triassic Alpujárride Formation are controlled by certain facies associations in the lagoonal environment. The depositional environment determines the hydrologic regimes responsible for early diagenetic formation of fluorite and of the related ore minerals in a way similar to that of early-diagenetic dolomite. This hypothesis is consistent with field and petrographic observations and with available geochemical and itotopic data reported in other works. The present investigation intends to underline the role played by surface-linked ore formation processes, i.e., by ore-forming processes essentially linked to the environments in which sedimentation and early diagenesis takes place, in the genesis of numerous strata-bound Zn-Pb-(F-Ba) ore deposits in carbonate rocks.
