Notizen: Abstract: We assessed a new dual-energy bone densitometer, the PRODIGY, that uses a narrow-angle fan-beam (4.5°) oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body (i.e., perpendicular to the usual orientation). High-resolution scans across the body can be stepped at 17 mm intervals. The energy-sensitive array detector uses cadmium zinc telluride, which allowed rapid photon counting. Spine and femur scans required 30 s, and total-body scans required 4–5 min; the dose was only 3.7 mrem and 0.04 mrem respectively, or about 5 to 10 times lower than conventional fan-beam densitometry. We found only a small influence of soft-tissue thickness on bone mineral density (BMD) results. There was also a small ( ± 1%) influence of height above the tabletop on BMD results. A software correction for object height allowed a first-order correction for the large magnification effects of position on bone mineral content (BMC) and area. Consequently, the results for BMC and area, as well as BMD, with PRODIGY corresponded closely to those obtained using the predecessor DPX densitometer, both in vitro and in vivo; there was a generally high correlation (r= 0.98–0.99) for BMD values. Spine and femur values for BMC, area and BMD averaged within 0.5% in vivo (n= 122), as did total-body BMC and BMD (n= 46). PRODIGY values for total-body lean tissue and fat also corresponded within 1% to DPX values. Regional and total-body BMD were measured with 0.5% precision in vitro and 1% precision in vivo. The new PRODIGY densitometer appears to combine the low dose and high accuracy of pencil-beam densitometry with the speed of fan-beam densitometers.

Thema: Medizin

Notizen: Abstract Results of studies using tests of thought disorder suggest the possibility of distinguishing three separate and possibly independent syndromes among schizophrenic patients. “Process schizophrenics” seem to be characterized by a relatively low I.Q., general psychomotor retardation, a slow reaction time, perceptual underconstancy, concreteness and distractibility. Many of these specific defects can be produced in normal people by the drug “Sernyl”, but not by other drugs studied. No known drug (such as the phenothiazines) has been shown to improve all these dysfunctions significantly in schizophrenic patients. “Psychotic anxiety reaction” is a label which might be used to describe the thinking disturbances found in many reactive schizophrenics. It consists of a tendency to produce unusual responses in a wide range of experimental situations, accompanied by an unusual degree of “perceptual constancy”. These behavioral abnormalities might be due to the disruptive effects of a very high level of anxiety, and might be alleviated by depressant drugs. “Overinclusive Psychosis”, characterizes a minority of hyperactive schizophrenics and some manic patients, who seem to use unusually broad and vaguely defined concepts in their thinking. LSD may induce this type of thinking in normal subjects, and it is possible that it may respond to phenothiazine medication.

Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Es wurde die Dispersion von Solen einiger übergangsmetalle (Gold, Eisen(III)-oxid · H2O, Chromhydroxid) in einem wasserlöslichen Polymeren (PVA 4-88) untersucht und von den daraus hergestellten Filmen ein Vergleich ihrer mechanischen und elektrischen Eigenschaften gemacht. In Erweiterung auf nichtwäßrige Lösungsmittel (Dimethylformamid, Tetrahydrofuran) wurden die Wechselwirkungen von mehrwertigen Metallionen (Fe(III), Al(III), Ti(IV), Zr(IV), Pd(O), Ag(O), Au-Sole) mit einem spezifischen metallkomplexierenden Polymeren (Polyacrylamidoxim) und einem Blockcopolymeren, das Styrol und Butadien (Buna BL 6533) enthält, untersucht.

Notizen: The dispersion of transition metal sols (gold, ferric hydrous oxide, chromium hydroxide) in a water soluble polymer (PVA 4-88) was investigated and from the films produced, a comparison made of their mechanical and electrical properties. Extending to non aqueous solvents (dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran) interactions of polyvalent metal ions (Fe(III), Al(III), Ti(IV), Zr(IV), Pd(0), Ag(0), Au sols) with a specific metal complexing polymer (poly(acrylamideoxime)) and a block copolymer containing styrene and butadiene (Buna BL 6533) were investigated.
