Twenty-four gynaecological patients receiving postoperative patient-controlled analgesia were enrolled in an open cross-over pilot study evaluating two new formulations of nasal fentanyl spray. The primary outcome was the bioavailability of nasal fentanyl in comparison with intravenous fentanyl. This manuscript describes the clinical outcomes of quality of postoperative analgesia and patient acceptability. There were 21 complete data sets for both sequences of the cross-over design. In randomised order, patients received approximately 50 μg of fentanyl in a single dose by intranasal and intravenous administration, but separated by at least 2 h. Analgesia was of rapid onset (within 5 min) and similar quality. There was no significant difference in side-effects. Four patients experienced mild nasal stinging and although 10 (42%) preferred intravenous administration, seven (29%) preferred intranasal and six (25%) had no preference. We conclude that these formulations of fentanyl, delivered as nasal spray, have potential clinical utility.

This paper summarises the performance of minewater-treatment schemes which are operated under the Coal Authority's National Minewater Treatment Programme. Commonly-used design criteria and performance indicators are briefly discussed, and the performance of wetland systems which are operated by the Coal Authority is reviewed. Most schemes for which data are available remove more than 90% iron, and average area-adjusted iron-removal rates range from 1.5 to 5.5 g Fe/m2. d. These values, which are based on performance calculations, can be distorted by several factors, including the practice of maximising wetland areas to make best use of available land. Removal rates are limited by influent iron loadings, and area-adjusted iron-removal rates should be used with caution when assessing wetland performance. Sizing criteria for all types of treatment system might be refined if more detailed data become available.

Moraxella bovis, the causative agent of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivttis, exhibits several virulence factors, including pili, haemotysin, leukotoxin, and proteases. The pili are filamentous appendages which mediate bacterial adherence. Prior studies have shown that Q-piliated M. bovis Epp63 are more infectious and more pathogenic than l-piliated and nonpiliated isogenic variants, suggesting that Q pili perse or traits associated with Q-pilin expression, promote the early association of Q-pillated bacteria with bovine corneal tissue. In order to better evaluate the role of Q pili in M. bovis attachment, several M. bovis strains and a recombinant P. aeruginosa strain which elaborates M. bovis Q pili but not P. aeruginosa PAK pili, were evaluated using an in vitro corneal attachment assay. For each strain tested, piliated organisms attached better than non-piliated bacteria. M. bovis Epp63 Q-piIiated bacteria adhered better than either the l-piliated or non-piliated isogenic variants. Finally, recombinant P. aeruginosa organisms elaborating M. bovis Q pili adhered better than the parent P. aeruginosa strain which did not produce M. bovis pili. These results indicate that the presence of pili, especially Q pili, enhances the attachment of bacteria to bovine cornea In vitro.

Abstract In a high resolution48Ca(d,3He) experiment at 80 MeV evidence has been found for a 7/2− state at 1.97 MeV in47K with a spectroscopic factor of C2S=0.08 corresponding to a ~4% admixture of πf2(s,d)−2 configurations in the ground state of Ca.

Abstract Recruitment patterns of scleractinian corals were investigated at the Gneering Shoals, a coral-dominated rocky-reef south of the Great Barrier Reef, in subtropical Queensland. The density of recruits (mean of 0.8 to 6.3 recruits per tile (15 cm × 15 cm) pair from 4 sites) was the lowest ever recorded from six regions in tropical or subtropical eastern Australia that have been studied using directly comparable methods. Recruitment in summer was dominated by recruits from the Family Acroporidae, while corals from the Family Pocilloporidae recruited throughout the year. Recruits of massive corals andTurbinaria sp., which dominate the established coral communities, were absent. Possible explanations for the low recruitment rate in the region, include the depth of most sites (〉 10m), competition for space with fouling organisms, and isolation, that is the failure of the south flowing East Australian Current to supply tropical larvae regularly from the Great Barrier Reef, 250 km to the north. The low coral recruitment rate at Gneering Shoals indicates that this region is unlikely to act as a “stepping-stone” for dispersal of tropical corals to more southern regions, which are more directly influenced by the East Australian Current.
