    Notes: Abstract. The value of CT in management of severe acute pancreatitis is well established. Some, but not all, experimental studies suggest a detrimental effect of intravenous iodinated contrast agents in acute pancreatitis, but although initial clinical data tends to support this, the positive advantages of enhanced CT outweigh the possible risks. Magnetic resonance imaging has been shown to be as effective as CT in demonstrating the presence and extent of pancreatic necrosis and fluid collections, and probably superior in indicating the suitability of such collections for percutaneous drainage. Image-guided intervention remains a key approach in the management of severely ill patients, and the indications, techniques and results of radiological intervention are reviewed herein. Both CT and MRI can be used to diagnose advanced chronic pancreatitis, with the recent addition of MRCP as a viable alternative to diagnostic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Both MRCP and CT/MR imaging of the pancreatic parenchyma still have limitations in the recognition of the earliest changes of chronic pancreatitis – for which ERCP and tests of pancreatic function remain more sensitive – but the clinical significance of these minor changes remains contentious.

    Notes: Localized bursty plasma waves are detected by spacecraft in many space plasmas. The large spatiotemporal scales involved imply that beam and other instabilities relax to marginal stability and that mean wave energies are low. Stochastic wave growth occurs when ambient fluctuations perturb the system, causing fluctuations about marginal stability. This yields regions where growth is enhanced and others where damping is increased; bursts are associated with enhanced growth and can occur even when the mean growth rate is negative. In stochastic growth, energy loss from the source is suppressed relative to secular growth, preserving it far longer than otherwise possible. Linear stochastic growth can operate at wave levels below thresholds of nonlinear wave-clumping mechanisms such as strong-turbulence modulational instability and is not subject to their coherence and wavelength limits. These mechanisms can be distinguished by statistics of the fields, whose strengths are lognormally distributed if stochastically growing and power-law distributed in strong turbulence. Recent applications of stochastic growth theory (SGT) are described, involving bursty plasma waves and unstable particle distributions in type III solar radio sources, the Earth's foreshock, magnetosheath, and polar cap regions. It is shown that when combined with wave–wave processes, SGT also accounts for associated radio emissions. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The three-wave decay of beam-driven Langmuir waves into ion-sound waves, and backscattered Langmuir waves is analyzed. Realistic approximations are used for the spectra of Langmuir and ion-sound waves to enable calculations of growth rates of ion-sound and backscattered Langmuir waves in terms of a single well behaved integral. This integral is evaluated numerically, and approximated analytically and the results are compared with previous estimates. The case of intense beam-driven Langmuir waves decaying amid a weak thermal background of pre-existing Langmuir and ion-sound waves is examined in detail and the analytical approximation in this case is found to reproduce the numerical results accurately. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Objective: To compare the progression of periodontal destruction in people with and without HIV.Method: Relative attachment loss on 6 index teeth was compared between 19 people with HIV and 17 people without HIV infection over 12 and 18 month follow ups.Results: The proportions of sites with 1, 2 or 3 mm of relative attachment loss were similar in the study and control groups. Mean maximum relative attachment loss was similar in both groups after 12 months but greater in the study group after 18 months.Conclusions: The data are not compelling evidence of greater periodontal destruction associated with HIV infection. Large scale cohort studies or meta-analyses would be more conclusive.

    Optimization of storage conditions for diluted working solutions of porcine factor VIII and performance of the Bethesda assay for the determination of antiporcine FVIII inhibitor titres (2003)

    Notes: Summary. The use of porcine factor VIII (FVIII) (Hyate:C, Ipsen) has proven to be very successful in treating patients with FVIII inhibitors. The best way to predict the usefulness of porcine FVIII therapy, and/or to estimate the appropriate treatment dose in a given patient, is to measure the patient inhibitor titre against porcine FVIII with the Bethesda assay, using porcine FVIII as the source of FVIII in the assay. The goals of the present study were to (1) find the optimal storage temperature, diluent and concentration for a working solution of porcine FVIII to be used as the source of FVIII for the porcine Bethesda assay, (2) assess the reliability of the labelled FVIII units in the preparation of such working solutions of porcine FVIII and (3) compare the inhibitor titres determined by the Bethesda assay using both porcine and human standard reference curves for measuring residual FVIII. The results of the present study demonstrate that a ready-to-use working solution of 1 U mL−1 of Hyate:C diluted in human FVIII deficient plasma, either containing or deficient in von Willebrand factor antigen, is stable for up to 12 months, at −20 °C. The preparation of the 1 U mL−1 working solution could be reliably calculated based on the units indicated on the vial label. Finally, using the human standard curve yields similar results to using the porcine standard curve for measuring any titre of allo- or auto-antibody against FVIII in the Bethesda assay, using Hyate:C as the source of FVIII. These findings are of practical value when performing a porcine FVIII-based Bethesda assay.

    Notes: summary  To assess the effectiveness of occlusal adjustment (OA) for treating temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in adults and preventing TMD. The Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, MEDLINE and EMBASE were comprehensively searched using the Cochrane methods. Reports and review articles were retrieved. Unpublished reports or abstracts were considered from the SIGLE database. All randomized or quasi-randomized controlled trials comparing OA with placebo, reassurance or no treatment in adults with TMD. The outcomes were global measures of symptoms, pain, headache and limitation of movement. Data collection and analysis followed the Cochrane Oral Health Group's statistical guidelines. Results showed no difference between OA and control group in symptom-based outcomes for treatment or incidence of symptoms for prevention. There is no evidence that OA treats or prevents TMD. OA cannot be recommended for the management or prevention of TMD. Future trials should use standardized diagnostic criteria and outcome measures when evaluating TMD.

    Interaction of cavitation bubbles with a free surface (2001)

    Notes: The motion of single- and two-cavitation bubbles generated by laser beams directly beneath a free surface is studied experimentally, using high-speed photography, and theoretically using the highly accurate boundary integral method. Favorable comparisons of bubble shape history and centroid motion are observed while the numerical calculations provide information on the pressure field surrounding the bubbles. A range of responses, including the null impulse state, is obtained for the two bubbles depending on the bubble size ratio and the interbubble and bubble-free surface distances, although in all cases reported in this article, the bubble nearest the free surface yields a high-speed liquid jet directed away from the free surface. It is also found that when the free-surface–bubble interaction is strong, a fast free-surface spike is formed for both the single- and two-bubble cases. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Flexibility and passive resistance of the hamstrings of young adults using two different static stretching protocols (2001)

    Notes: This investigation determined the effects of a static stretching program with different stretching protocols on the flexibility and passive resistance of the hamstrings of young adults. Forty healthy subjects (24 males and 16 females) aged 18 to 30 years were randomly assigned to one of four groups. The two training groups underwent static stretch training of the hamstrings either with a four-week protocol or with an eight-week protocol. The other two groups acted as control groups. A significant increase in flexibility of hamstrings was found in both of the two training groups (P〈0.05). No difference was found in the range of motion gained between the two training groups. An increase in passive resistance at the corresponding maximal joint angle was only demonstrated in the four-week training group (P〈0.05). Both protocols are effective in terms of improving flexibility of hamstrings. However, if injury is reduced when there is relatively lower passive resistance at the end-of-range, then the eight-week training regimen would be recommended.
