Dermatitis from hexavalent chromate in the accelerator of an epoxy sealant (PR1422) used in the aircraft industry

4 aircraft construction workers developed allergic contact dermatitis of the hands and forearms. The allergen was hexavalent chromate in the accelerating solution of an epoxy-based sealant (PR1422). Although chromate dermatitis from an epoxy resin has been described, epoxy system accelerators are a hitherto unrecognized source of occupational chromate dermatitis.

STRESS IN THE RURAL EMERGENCY ROOM

ABSTRACT: This study identifies stress-producing factors reported by registered nurses (RNs) attending serious incidents in an Australian rural hospital's emergency room. A Delphi approach was used to determine the six most significant stress-producing factors, and these factors were then ranked by two groups of nurses. The rankings were compared using the Spearman Rank Order Coefficient of Correlation and were found to be dependent on years of nursing experience of the RNs taking part in the study. The more experienced group nominated 'anxiety about nursing a family member or close friend' as the most significant stress-producing factor, while the less experienced group reported 'concerns about nursing a child' as the most important stress-producing factor. Possible reasons for the variation in rankings are discussed, and recommendations are made in the light of the study's findings.     

Increased yield of full GBA sequencing in Ashkenazi Jews with Parkinson's disease

Background

Variants in GBA are the most common genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD), and are especially prevalent in the Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) population. However, most studies on GBA in AJ genotype only seven selected Gaucher-associated pathogenic variants rather than sequencing the whole gene, which may leave carriers of PD-associated GBA variants undiscovered.

EEG enhancement during electrosurgery using an optical fibre

The paper considers the limiting factors in EEG enhancement in the presence of electrosurgery interference and presents a design for a useful fibre-optic EEG monitoring instrument which is free from such problems as electrical shock (micro and macroshock), patient burns and susceptibility to electrosurgery interference associated with conventional EEG monitors.     

Mechanisms of the CYNAP phenomenon: evidence in the Bw49/Bw50 model for epitopes with different spatial orientation of antibody

The mechanism of the cytotoxic-negative, absorption-positive (CYNAP) phenomenon was studied using the model of the Bw49/Bw50 split of the BW21 antigen. Anti-Bw49 antibody bound 60% as well to Bw 50 as to Bw49 cells; however, even at a cytotoxic titer of 64 against Bw49 cells, the antibody was not cytotoxic to Bw50 Cells. At equal numbers of antibody molecules bound, the anti-Bw49 antibody activated C4 and C3, and induced lysis for Bw49 but not for the Bw50 cells. These data are consistent with a model in which different spatial orientations for shared epitopes can account for CYNAP reactivity for at least some selected Bw4/Bw6-associated splits of B locus antigens.     

A simple device to aid impalement of cells using conventional microelectrode drives

Consistent penetration of cell membranes by micropipettes is facilitated by using electrode accelerators or high velocity step drives. Notwithstanding, much intracellular work is still done with conventional mechanical or hydraulic drives; cell membrane penetration is achieved by means of gentle taps on any convenient part of the set up. A remote control device is described which performs this function and is compact enough to be fixed on either the microelectrode holder or the preparation mounting. It consists of a small magnetized rod freely suspended in a pot-core coil. A current pulse through the coil jolts the rod; the inertial reaction of the coil frame provides the sudden movement required by the micropipette tip to overcome the elastic resistance of the cell membrane.
