    Notes: Summary Four patients are described presenting papilloedema, increased pressure and reduced CSF absorption—caused by either spinal tumours, leptomeningeal carcinomatosis or encephalitis. Remarkably they all had a normal CT without signs of hydrocephalus. A 24-hour intracranial pressure monitoring showed a mean pressure of 30–35 mm Hg, recurrent plateau waves and high occurrence of B waves. Conductance to CSF outflow studied by a constant perfusion test was severely reduced 0.010–0.026mlmin−1mm Hg−1 (normal 〉 0.12ml mm Hg−1 min−1). Despite these findings no ventricular enlargement was seen on serial CT scans. The reason therefore remains unknown. Disappearance of papilloedema and a variable clinical improvement followed shunt-insertion.

    Notes: The electronics for the microchannel plate photomultiplier tubes used in the LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) Thomson scattering diagnostic on the JET tokamak are described. It is shown how the microchannel plate photomultiplier tubes are gated with a very small coupling between gate signal and output, and how ≈300 V transient pulses with rise times of 230 ps are clipped to safe levels of ≈40 V.

    Notes: By combining the time-of-flight or LIDAR principle with a Thomson backscatter diagnostic, spatial profiles of the electron temperature and density are measured in a magnetically confined fusion plasma. This technique was realized for the first time on the JET tokamak. A ruby laser (3-J pulse energy, 300-ps pulse duration, 0.5-Hz repetition rate) together with a 700-MHz bandwidth detection and registration system yields a spatial resolution of about 12 cm. A spectrometer with six channels in the wavelength range 400–800 nm gives a dynamic range of the temperature measurements of 0.3–20 keV. The stray light problem in the backscatter geometry is overcome by spectral discrimination and gating of the photomultipliers. A ruby filter in the spectral channel containing the laser wavelength allows calibration of the vignetting along the line of sight by means of Raman scattering, enabling the measurement of density profiles. The low level of background signal due to the short integration time for a single spatial point yields low statistical errors (ΔTe /Te ≈6%, Δne /ne ≈4% at Te =6 keV, ne =3×1019 m−3 ). Goodness-of-fit tests indicate that the systematic errors are within the same limits. The system is described and examples of measurements are given.

    Notes: Anthocyanin extraction from elderberry pomace is improved by mechanical disintegration and use of aqueous HCl in place of acidified ethanol as extractant, with pH being important in determining extractant effectiveness. Extraction at low solvent:pomace ratios gives extracts of higher concentration and lower volume, but with reduced efficiency. Enzyme pretreatments do not improve extractability from exten-sively crushed pomace, and if of extended duration, can result in anthocyanin break-down. Vacuum evaporation of extracts gave little loss of anthocyanins, and combined with freeze drying, produced materials with high anthocyanin retention.

    Notes: The design of a photoemission microprobe beamline at the MAX laboratory is presented. The beamline will utilize the radiation from a 26 period undulator on the 550-MeV MAX storage ring. The beamline will be capable of providing about 1010 photons/s of monochromatized radiation (bandwidth better than 0.25 eV) in the energy range of 20 to 150 eV focused into a submicrometer focal spot. It will be used for scanning photoemission experiments with a lateral resolution better than 1 μm. The optical system is comprised of a plane-grating monochromator with a Kirkpatrick–Baez objective and a specially designed ellipsoidal focusing mirror.

    Notes: Summary. The clinical significance of placental perforation and bloodstained amniotic fluid was studied in a group of 7238 Danish women undergoing mid-trimester amniocentesis for prenatal diagnosis under ultrasound guidance. The risk of spontaneous abortion was significantly increased both in pregnancies where the placenta was perforated and in those with blood-stained amniotic fluid. The risk estimate nearly doubled after placental perforation and more than doubled with a bloody tap. It is concluded that for women at relatively low risk of a fetal genetic abnormality, the indication of the amniocentesis should be reconsidered if a placental perforation is unavoidable.

    Notes: The ability of the new generation H1-receptor antagonist, astemizole, to prevent histamine-induced airway obstruction and exercise-induced asthma (EIA) was studied in 20 children with asthma. The study was a randomised clinically controlled trial of oral astemizole versus placebo in a cross-over study. In each of the two treatment periods the children were tested at days 0, 6, 15 and 22 of therapy. The two treatment periods were separated by a washout period of 50 days, and at each visit a bronchial challenge with increasing concentrations of histamine followed by an exercise test was performed, and peak flow and asthmatic symptom score were recorded daily. The children tolerated significantly higher mean concentrations of histamine when treated with astemizole compared with placebo (P 〈 0.001). Astemizole postponed the response to exercise, but no change in the maximal response was found. No differences between the treatment periods were found regarding frequency of asthmatic symptoms or the daily recording of peak flow.

    Notes: Summary The output of first stage larvae of the neurotrophic nematode Elaphostrongylus rangiferi was studied both in a herd of reindeer in the field and in reindeer held in captivity. There was a marked seasonal cycle in the output of larvae from infected reindeer. This seasonal cycle is dependent on host sex. After an initial phase of logarithmic increase from the onset of patency in late winter/spring, the larval output declines to a minimum in summer in both female and male reindeer. From then onwards a yearly cycle is repeated with a maximum density of larvae in autumn/early winter from male reindeer, and in late winter/spring from female reindeer. E. rangiferi has an adult longevity of several years in the reindeer, and it is probable that the seasonal cycle of parasite output is linked to seasonal changes in the degree of host stress.

    Notes: Abstract Sera from 259 forestry workers and 100 blood donors in the Canton of Solothurn, Switzerland, were tested for IgG antibodies toBorrelia burgdorferi in two EIAs using as antigen either sonic extract of whole organisms or purified flagella. Applying a 95% specific cut-off value based on results in the sera of 100 blood donors, 86 (33%) and 91 (35%) of the forestry workers respectively showed an elevated specific IgG level in the two EIAs. None of the 259 forestry workers had clinical signs of active infection at the time blood was taken, and only nine could recall experiencing erythema-migrans-like skin lesions within the last ten years. Thus, asymptomatic infections must be frequent. Elevated specific antibody levels increased significantly with the age of the forestry workers (p〈0.0001) and the duration of occupational exposure to ticks (p=0.0001). Thus serological results in individuals with high exposure to ticks must be interpreted with caution in view of the high a priori prevalence of antibodies toBorrelia burgdorferi in such persons. The prevalence of antibody to theBorrelia burgdorferi flagellum in a control population not selected for tick exposure, in this case blood donors, seems to be independent of geographical origin.
