Notes: Abstract The clinical features of 55 cases of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPCKD) have been reviewed. Each had evidence of ARPCKD. The outcomes of 87% were known; 24 had died. Twenty-four of 31 were seen between 1980 and 1986; 7 could not be traced. Forty-five percent presented under 1 month; 38% between 1 month and 1 year; and 9 cases over 1 year. Hyponatraemia occurred in 15 out of 19 aged less than 3 months; hypertension occurred in 65%; splenomegaly in 47% of those surviving more than 3 months. Portocaval shunts were done in 5 aged 2–12 years. Thirteen died of renal failure, 6 under 1 year, and 7 between 1 year and 13 years. Life-table survival rates calculated from birth revealed that 86% were alive at 3 months, 79% at 1 year, 51% at 10 years, and 46% at 15 years. Calculations based on patients who survived to 1 year of age showed that 82% were alive at 10 years and 79% at 15 years. These results reveal an improved prognosis for a condition once assumed to be fatal.

Notes: The shape of the glass transition plays a critical role in the engineering performance of polymers in sound and vibration damping, as well as other applications. The transition may be affected by fillers, plasticizers, blending, IPN formation, etc. A collection of data, both original and literature, is presented which illustrates how the phenomenon works. Emphasis is placed on the role of the area under the linear loss modulus-temperature curve, which may be evaluated in a fashion similar to other spectroscopic techniques. In addition, the loss area can be significantly affected by morphological factors.
