    Notes: Abstract  Colloids are known to transport contaminants over long distances in natural media. Despite this potentially harmful effect, very few studies have been undertaken in subsurface aquifers. This paper presents the first results of a study of natural colloids and particles in a karstic aquifer. The site was chosen for its coverage by clay layers and peat which deliver various and numerous particle types in water. The methodological part describes three methods used for size determination and sample fractionation of surface water and spring water. These methods have been adapted for the treatment of multiple samples due to the rapid discharge variation typical of karstic aquifers. The analysis of many particle size distributions (PSD) shows that they can be described by a Pareto law. The variation of the slope of the PSD at the spring is mainly dependent on discharge. This behavior is interpreted as a washing of the karstic drains during the first phase of high flow events. Fractionation of the samples allowed application of various characterization techniques to particle size classes. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed that most of the mineral particles originated from Quaternary deposits and limestones. However the use of scanning electron micrsocopy with energy-dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS) detailed the composition of individual particles and revealed particles not found by XRD. These techniques also showed the high complexity of the natural particles and the important place of coprecipitation in their formation. Consequences on the fluxes of particulate matter and its potential role as a carrier of contaminants are discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Abbiamo esaminato il trattamento farmacologico dell'attacco acuto, usato da 200 pazienti sofferenti di emicrania senza aura (criteri IHS 1988), visitati nel periodo 1989–1991. È stata raccolta una dettagliata analisi farmacologica sulle terapie d'attacco usate dai pazienti nel corso della loro storia cefalalgica precedentemente alla prima visita presso il nostro ambulatorio. Sono state studiate le seguenti variabili: tipo di farmaco usato, dosaggio e via di somministrazione, efficacia del trattamento, frequenza e tipo degli effetti indesiderati; questi parametri sono stati confrontati con le linee guida della Società Italiana per lo Studio delle Cefalee (SISC, 1993). I farmaci più comunemente usati sono gli antiinfiammatori non steroidei; abbiamo osservato un analogo uso delle associazioni, in particolare propifenazone ed acido barbiturico. I pirazolonici propifenazone ed amidopirina, non consigliati nelle linee guida, sono anch'essi largamente usati. Il nostro studio evidenzia il fatto che l'utilizzo corrente dei farmaci differisce in molti aspetti da quello suggerito dalle linee guida.
    Notes: Abstract We assessed the attack drugs taken by 200 migraine without aura patients (International Headache Society criteria, 1988) between 1989 and 1991. A detailed pharmacological history regarding the acute attack therapy adopted up until our initial visit was gathered, including the type of drug used, dosage, administration route, the time of starting therapy, treatment efficacy, and the frequency and types of undesirable effects, all of which were subsequently compared with the guidelines (1993) of the Italian Society for the Study of Headache (SISC). The most commonly used are non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). We observed a similar high frequency in the use of combinations, particularly prophyphenazone and barbituric acid. The pirazolones, such as noramidopyrine and prophyphenazone, are also widely used as single agents, even though they are not considered by the guidelines. Our study underlines the fact that current drug use differs in several respects from the guidelines.
