[The value of the EEG in patients with transient global amnesia (author's transl)].

The EEG findings from 30 patients with transient global amnesia (TGA) of vascular origin are described. A pathological result was seen in 18 cases, from which 17 had predominantly focal changes. 12 EEG's were normal. With increasing time interval between the TGA and the EEG investigation a normal record was slightly commoner. 20 patients had CT results, of which 8 cases were pathological. In 12 cases the EEG and CT results were correspondingly pathological or normal. The EEG shows functional disturbances even after the neurological deficits have resolved, which are related to transient metabolic or diminished blood-flow disturbances, but do not result in structural lesions to bae seen in the CT.

Microencapsulation and testing of the agricultural animal repellent, Daphne.

The microencapsulated animal repellent Daphne was prepared by in situ polymerization of melamine-formaldehyde prepolymer with styrene-maleic acid anhydride copolymer as a modifying agent. Pure Daphne (a mixture of essential oils and other volatile compounds) and Daphne (45 wt%) diluted with isopropylmyristate (55 wt%) were used as core materials. Three types of formulations were prepared: (1) aqueous suspension concentrates, to be diluted for spraying, (2) thickened pastes with microcapsules for coating tree bark, and (3) textile, paper and metal strips, coated or impregnated with microcapsules. In field testing, all formulations with microcapsules showed a prolonged effect in comparison with non-encapsulated Daphne. The repelling effect on animals was stronger in summer and weaker in winter, when the pressure of the animals was much more intense, and diffusion of repellent from the microcapsules was reduced due to low temperatures. However, pastes for the bark and non-woven textile strips impregnated with microencapsulated Daphne showed good repelling effect against deer and rabbits in the winter period.

Computer tomography in transient global amnesia.

16 patients with transient global amnesia (TGA) have been investigated by computer tomography. 3 had a completed stroke associated with the TGA. The findings of computer tomography were normal in 7 patients. Atrophy alone was seen in 2 patients. A single hypodense lesion was found in 6 patients; a bilateral lesion in 1 patient. All 3 patients with amnesic stroke showed a hypodense lesion in the CT.
