    Notes: Summary Command fibers located in the circumesophageal connectives which modify scaphognathite and heart rhythms have been mapped and characterized in the crab,Cancer magister. Behavior: Crabs show a variety of responses to external stimuli often including simultaneous cessation of cardiac and scaphognathite “pumping”. Habituation and a return to prestimulus rhythms results from continued stimulation. The response to short stimulus durations, on the other hand, generally outlasts the stimulus indicating the playing-out of a motor program. Neurophysiology: Small bundles of fibers have been isolated from desheathed connectives. Activity in these fibers resulting from stimulation of various anterior sensory receptors was recordeden passant with suction electrodes. When sensory stimulation produced both electrical activity in the nerves under examination and a cardiac and/or scaphognathite response it was assumed such units were involved in inducing this response. This was tested by electrical stimulation delivered through the same electrode. Those units which produced similar responses to natural and artificial stimulation were deemed “command fibers”. It was invariably found that the minimum stimulating frequency needed to mimic naturally induced responses was much greater than the frequency at which the units discharged in response to those stimuli. During mapping experiments, command fibers were characterized with respect to their positions in the connectives and by the responses they produced at different frequencies of stimulation. 68% of the fibers identified affected both cardiac and scaphognathite systems, 29% the scaphognathites alone and 3% the heart alone. The frequency-response profiles of single bivalent command fibers were often different from the heart and scaphognathites. These findings help explain the responses of both systems to natural stimuli and also indicate that the circulatory and respiratory systems not only perform in concert, but are often under common control.

    Notes: The Philadelphia translocation was demonstrated by two-colour fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in decalcified paraffin sections of bone marrow from patients with chronic myelogenous leukaemia. FISH was combined with immunocytochemical detection of different membrane-bound or cytoplasmic antigens. With this new technique, the cells bearing the 9;22 translocation can be identified morphologically, as well as immunocyto-chemically, in tissue sections.

    Notes: Magnetic garnet films of composition (Nd,Lu,Bi)3(Fe,Al,Ga)5O12 are grown by liquid-phase epitaxy on [111] oriented substrates of gadolinium gallium garnet. They have positive uniaxial anisoptropy and support lattices of parallel stripe domains. A monomode optical rib waveguide is prepared by photolithography and ion-beam etching parallel to the (112¯) direction, which is the preferred direction of the stripe domains. A magnetic domain pattern can be created such that a domain wall is located at the rib center while the adjacent walls stick to the flanks of the rib. At a wavelength of 1.3 μm a nonreciprocal phase shift of the guided fundamental transverse electric mode is observed. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Garnet films of composition (Gd, Bi)3(Fe, Ga)5O12 are grown by liquid–phase epitaxy on (111) oriented substrates of gadolinium gallium garnet. The films are close to compensation. Using laser annealing straight vertical compensation walls (CW) are generated. Monomode rib waveguides are fabricated by ion beam etching so that a CW is located close to a rib center. The CW induces a nonreciprocal phase shift of the TE0 mode. The dependence of this phase shift on the position of the CW within the rib is calculated. Experimentally a phase shift of 0.7 cm−1 at 1.3 μm wavelength is observed. The deviation from the theoretical value is discussed. Such waveguides are essential to realize polarization–independent optical isolators. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract Ninety-one Hodgkin's lymphomas (HD), 52 non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) and 33 specimens of non-neoplastic lymphatic tissues were investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the presence of the bcl-2/JH gene rearrangement. The majority of the HD cases were drawn from the files of the German Hodgkin trial where diagnoses are established by a panel of four independent histopathologists. Using the very sensitive PCR method which detected 1 positive among 10000 negative cells, the bcl-2/JH gene rearrangement was found in 7/52 NHL and 3/16 tonsils with follicular hyperplasia, but in none of the 91 HD. The bcl-2 protein, however, was expressed by malignant cells of B and T cell lymphomas and by the giant tumour cells in 2/13 HD lymphocyte predominant, 11/28 HD nodular sclerosing I, 14/17 HD nodular sclerosing II, 10/27 HD mixed cellularity and 3/3 HD lymphocyte depleted. The bcl-2/JH rearrangement is thus independent of protein over-expression, the latter being found in all types of lymphomas. Our results do not confirm the findings of others who have detected the bcl-2/JH rearrangement in HD. These discrepancies may be explained by differences in choice of material, the gene rearrangement actually occuring in bystander cells but not in Reed-Sternberg or Hodgkin cells, or by contamination.

    Notes: Abstract Directional selectivities of mechanoreceptors that innervate filiform hairs on the crayfish tailfan were investigated with unidirectional, sinusoidal, water-motion stimuli. These recordings provide the first representative sample from filiform hair sensilla on the entire tailfan. The filiform hair receptors exhibit unimodal directional selectivity patterns that were well fitted by a cardioid function with a half-width of 122°. The preferred directions correspond to the major axis of hair motion, and are perpendicular to the orientation of lateral branches on the main hair shaft. Pooled plots of preferred directions demonstrate quadrimodal patterns on the telson and endopods which are associated with hair location, and a bimodal pattern on the exopods. For each appendage, the combination of the overall pattern of preferred directions with “coarse coding” of direction by individual receptors provides sensitivity to a full 0–360° range of water motion and the potential to discriminate the direction of water motion throughout this range. The results demonstrate several similarities to the wind-sensitive cercal receptor system in orthopteroid insects, and suggest that crustacean filiform hair receptors provide a sufficient sensory basis for behavioral orientation to water currents and shorelines.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: Alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) is a severe complication during postoperative treatment of alcohol-dependent patients. Besides the use of clomethiazole, clonidine, and benzodiazepines, there is another possible way to prevent AWS by deliberate administration of ethanol. The appropriate dosage of ethanol has not been known up to now and it could be defined according to the average ethanol elimination rate (EER) which, from forensic analysis, is known to be 15 mg/dl per h in a normal population. However, it is questionable whether these data are suitable for the calculation of the correct dosage in alcohol-dependent patients. Design: Preliminary retrospective descriptive study. Setting: Intensive care unit of a university teaching hospital. Patients: 11 alcohol-dependent patients (9 males, 2 females, mean age 50.8 years, range 33 to 60 years). Interventions: Ethanol substitution (ES) by parenteral application. Measurements and results: Ethanol kinetics were evaluated by repeated measurement of the blood ethanol concentration (BEC) over a period of at least 6 h parallel to the administration of ethanol. The average EER was found to be 28 mg/dl per h with a standard deviation of 11 mg/dl per h. The minimum value was 18 mg/dl per h and the maximum 50 mg/dl per h. These EERs were significantly higher than the EERs known from forensic analysis. AWS was prevented in all 11 patients. Conclusions: Close control of BEC and precise adjustment of ethanol administration are necessary prerequisites for ES. The standard EER is not sufficient to define the appropriate ethanol dosage due to enormous variations in the ethanol metabolism of alcohol-dependent patients.

    Description / Table of Contents: Resumé Les incidents qui se produisent au moment même de la mise en place d'un dispositif intrautérin (DIU) sont rarement étudiés, notamment chez les femmes ayant eu des enfants pour lesquelles, en théorie, la contraception par la méthode des DIU est la plus adaptée. Bien que rares, ces incidents peuvent occasionner personnellement de l'angoisse, de l'embarras ou de la gêne et peuvent avoir une incidence négative sur l'acceptation des DIU. Soixante millions de femmes dans le monde entier utilisent les DIU. Par conséquent, même s'il est rare, un incident peut avoir des répercussions importantes du point de vue de la santé publique. Il y a lieu, afin d'éviter que ces circonstances ne se produisent, de définir les facteurs de risques de ces incidents. L'importante banque internationale des données concernant les DIU regroupées par l'Internationale pour la santé de la famille (FHI) depuis 1972 fournit une occasion unique de réaliser cet objectif. Quatre rares incidents liés à l'insertion, des DIU ont été étudiés, à savoir: les défauts d'insertion, la perforation utérine, la syncope et autres réactions vasovagales, ainsi que de fortes douleurs au moment de la mise en place. Cet article fait un résumé des constations importantes tirées non seulement de ces études mais aussi d'autres études à ce sujet. Cette vaste expérience devrait constituer la base à partir de laquelle le personnel chargé de pratiquer la mise en place des DIU pourrait améliorer la qualité des soins dispensés aux femmes qui demandent la pose d'un dispositif de contraception.
    Abstract: Resumen Los episodios que ocurren en el momento de la inserción de un dispositivo intrauterino (DIU), particularmente en mujeres paras, son raramente estudiados. Teóricamente, en estas mujeres la anticoncepción con DIU es la más conveniente. Estos episodios, aunque raros, causan molestias personales, confusión e incomodidad y podrían tener impacto negativo en la aceptación del DIU. Sesenta millones de mujeres en el mundo usan DIU, de mode que, aún siendo un episodio infrecuente podría tener implicationes importantes en salud pública. Para evitar que esto ocurra es preciso delinear los factores de riesgo de estos episodios raros. La gran cantidad de datos internacionales sobre DIU compilados por Family Health International (FHI) desde 1972 proporciona una oportunidad única de alcanzar este propósito. Se han estudiado cuatro episodios raros relacionados con la inserción de un DIU. Estos son: falla de inserción, perforación uterina, síncope y otras reacciones vasovagales y dolor severo durante la inserción. Esta revisión resume los hallazgos importantes de este y otros estudios relevantes. Esta amplia experiencia debería formar las bases para que el personal que inserta DIU pueda mejorar el cuidado de mujeres que soliciten un dispositivo para la anticoncepción.
    Notes: Abstract Events occurringat the time of insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD) are rarely studied, especially for parous women for whom, in theory, IUD contraception is most suitable. These events, although rare, cause personal distress, embarrassment and inconvenience and can have a negative impact on IUD acceptance. Sixty million women worldwide are using IUDs. Thus, even a rare event may have important public health implications. To avoid such occurrences, the risk factors of these rare events need to be delineated. The large international IUD data set compiled by Family Health International (FHI) since 1972 provides a unique opportunity to achieve this purpose. Four IUD insertion-related rare events have been studied, namely: insertion failure, uterine perforation, syncope and other vasovagal reactions, and severe insertional pain. This review paper summarizes the important findings from these as well as other relevant studies. This broad experience should form the basis by which health personnel inserting IUDs can improve the quality of care for women requesting a device for contraception.
