Outcome measures were compared between Asians and Caucasians.Results Overall 11,974 women (71%) accepted serum screening. The screen positive rate was 8.3% in Asians and 5.0% in Caucasians. The uptake of amniocentesis in women following a high risk result was 54% overall (35% Asian, 67% Caucasian). Nineteen cases of Down's syndrome were identified, of which 13 occurred in women who opted for biochemical screening. The detection rate of the biochemical screening programme was 85% (11/13). Of these 11 cases, six (none of whom were Asian) elected to have an amniocentesis, of whom four thereafter had a termination.Conclusion In this study the public health benefits of screening for Down's syndrome in a socioeconomically deprived area with a high Asian population, were small.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1993Staff ViewISSN: 1572-8838Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: Chemistry and PharmacologyElectrical Engineering, Measurement and Control TechnologyNotes: Abstract An electrochemical cell has been designed, based on a Cameron-Plint friction machine, which enables measurement of friction and wear under conditions of controlled potential. For mild steel in a pH 9 aqueous solution of sodium octanoate, varying the potential of the steel over the range −1 to + 1 V vs SHE produced three distinct friction-wear regimes: high friction/low wear, low friction/high wear, and low friction/low wear. These regimes were ascribed to potential dependent changes in the coverage and stability of a lubricating octanoate film on the surface of the steel. Increasing the contact stress amplified the effect of potential on wear, and confirmed that the surface film retained its lubricity at contact stresses capable of causing plastic deformation of the steel.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1998Staff ViewISSN: 0942-0940Keywords: Keywords: Posterior fossa meningioma; surgical treatment; morbidity.Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Summary Background. Early reports of the surgical management of posterior cranial fossa meningiomas (PCFM) yielded poor results with high rates of mortality and morbidity. With the advent of modern neuroimaging and microsurgical techniques the results of surgery have improved markedly, but despite these advances removal of these lesions remains a challenge. Methods. The results of the surgical treatment of PCF meningiomas were examined with the aim to identify particular features associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Results. Of 713 patients with meningioma, 52 patients were identified with PCFM. Total macroscopic excision was achieved in 44 patients (84%). Postoperative complications occurred in 28 patients (54%) with permanent sequelae in 18 (35%). There were no mortalities in the immediate postoperative period. Follow-up ranged from 14 to 174 months (mean 42), tumour has recurred in 11 patients (21%) with a long-term mortality of 11%. At their latest follow-up 41 (79%) of patients achieved Glasgow outcome scores of 4 or 5. Conclusions. Total excision of tumour should remain the goal of treatment in patients with PCFM. Despite the recent advances in preoperative planning and surgical techniques, the morbidity associated with surgery remains significant. Notwithstanding, the majority of patients achieve a good outcome with surgical treatment.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1432-0932Keywords: Key words Spinal extradural ¶abscess ; TreatmentSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Abstract The management of spinal extradural abscess (SEA), particularly the choice between surgical and conservative treatment, is controversial. We therefore undertook a retrospective study of patients admitted with this diagnosis: Details of presentation, treatment and outcome were obtained by review of inpatient notes and radiology. Twenty-five ¶individuals with SEA aged 10–¶79 years were admitted between 1989 and 1995. Nine were treated non-operatively with antibiotics, of which three also underwent diagnostic CT-guided biopsy, and 16 underwent surgical drainage. There was no significant difference in the neurological features at presentation between the two groups. Two patients (8%) died; 11 (44%) patients remained the same and 12 (48%) improved following treatment. Four patients treated conservatively (44%) and seven treated surgically (43%) were capable of return to work or school, whilst a further seven patients (three treated conservatively and four treated surgically) were able to lead independent lives. No significant difference in outcome was demonstrated between patients treated non-operatively and those treated surgically. We conclude that certain carefully selected patients can be treated conservatively, but that surgery should remain the mainstay of management.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1432-0762Keywords: Female mate choice ; Offspring development time ; Heritability ; Direct and indirect benefits ; Nauphoeta cinerea ; Genetic correlationsSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: BiologyNotes: Abstract The adaptive nature of female mate choice remains one of the most contentious issues in the study of sexual selection. Here, I provide evidence that mate choice by females of the ovoviviparous cockroach Nauphoeta cinerea influences the rate at which offspring develop and provides both direct and indirect benefits to the female. Males that are more attractive to females produce offspring with shorter development times than less preferred males. Development time is heritable and apparently unconstrained by antagonistic pleiotropy. Male attractiveness and rate of offspring development are genetically correlated. Offspring gain an indirect benefit from their mother's mate choice because, on average, individuals that hatch faster reach sexual maturity more quickly. Females that discriminate among males gain a direct benefit because N. cinerea is ovoviviparous and the time between clutches is decreased by producing offspring with shorter development. In addition to providing evidence for beneficial consequences of mate choice, this study highlights how genetic data provide insights into the process of sexual selection not gained in a purely phenotypic study.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Automated-fringe-pattern analysis enables the full-field of data to be used with the minimum of operator intervention. Measurements are shown to be accurate to within 10 percent. TheJ-measurement procedure employed could form the basis of an automatic-fault detection system.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL:
