Following the installation of the Wildmap digital mapping system, B.K.S. Surveys Ltd. has successfully completed a number of digital mapping projects in Europe, the Middle East and the United States. As a result of experience gained through meeting clients’requirements, carrying out market research and making in house developments the company has updated its original conceptual approach to digital mapping to meet current demands for a land information system. At present B.K.S. is involved in creating a database that is composed of utility, cadastral and topographical data designed for both graphical output and digital processing for resource planning.

Nerve tissue protein S-100 and neurone-specific enolase levels in serum were studied in 10 patients before, during and for 2 days after elective carotid endarterectomy performed under general anaesthesia and using a Javid Shunt. In six patients, simultaneous cerebrospinal fluid samples were also obtained. Serum nerve tissue protein S-100 was normal throughout the operation, but in one patient with severe hypertension, levels increased to 1.38 µg.l−1 at 1 h postoperatively. Two patients showed an increase in cerebrospinal fluid nerve tissue protein S-100 during clamping: these patients also had neurological deficits at 6 months. Serum neurone-specific enolase increased from 5.8 to 9.3 µg.l−1 during shunting while cerebrospinal fluid neurone-specific enolase did not change. Uncomplicated carotid endarterectomy does not produce cerebral damage as measured by serum nerve tissue protein S-100; cerebrospinal fluid nerve tissue protein S-100 may be more sensitive for minor cerebral damage. Neurone-specific enolase appeared to be nonspecific. The lack of correlation between the neuroproteins may need to be explained before relying on these simple assays as diagnostic indicators of cerebral ischaemia.

This study evaluates the usefulness of the analysis of gas sampled from the exhaust port of a membrane oxygenator in the estimation of anaesthetic tension in arterial blood. Sixty-seven arterial blood samples were drawn from patients undergoing hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass with anaesthesia maintained by either isoflurane or desflurane. Anaesthetic tensions in the oxygenator exhaust gas were measured using an infrared analyser and in arterial blood using a two-stage headspace technique with a gas chromatograph. Both measurement systems were calibrated with the same standard gas mixtures. There was no difference in anaesthetic tension measured in arterial blood and gas leaving the oxygenator exhaust (isoflurane: n = 29, range: 0.3–0.8%, 95% limits of agreement: − 0.08% to 0.09%; desflurane: n = 38, range: 1.5–5.4%; 95% limits of agreement − 0.65% to 0.58%). We conclude that anaesthetic tensions in arterial blood can be accurately monitored by analysis of the gas emerging from the exhaust port of a membrane oxygenator.

Summary Standardized echography (pioneered and developed by Dr. Karl Ossoinig) is a state-of-the-art method of diagnostic ophthalmic ultrasound. More than sixty (60) orbital and periorbital and eighty (80) intraocular conditions may be detected and differentiated with high reliability. Optimal results can be expected when specified instrumentation and techniques are used by a well trained examiner. Specific instrumentation to be used includes standardized A-scan (i.e. Kretztechnik 7200MA/Ophthascan S), contact B-scan and Doppler instrumentation. A systematic approach to intraocular and orbital examinations includes use of the specific basic examination and special examination techniques. Once a lesion is detected with the basic examination, a variety of acoustic criteria are determined with topographic, quantitative and kinetic examination techniques for lesion differentiation, localization and measurement. In the globe, standardized echography is useful in both opaque media, where fundus view is obscured or prevented, and in clear media as a supplement to the ophthalmoscopic examination. Standardized echography is also useful in the evaluation of orbital and periorbital disease. Mass-like lesions, extraocular muscle and optic nerve conditions may be detected, differentiated and accurately measured.
