SLAP lesions in association with complete tears of the long head of the biceps tendon: a report of two cases.

Two patients were found to have superior labrum anterior and posterior (SLAP) lesions in association with complete tears of the long head of the biceps. Additional intraarticular pathology (retained biceps stump, loose body, and glenoid chondromalacia) was discovered in one patient. We recommend arthroscopy of the shoulder in two situations associated with rupture of the long head of the biceps: (a) in patients with acute ruptures in which the decision has been made to do a biceps tenodesis; and (b) in patients with persistent longstanding shoulder symptoms following nonoperative management.

Absence or singular specificity of carotenoids in some lower fishes.

No colored carotenoids were recovered from the scales or liver of the coelacanth, Latimeria chalumnae, or from skin, immature eggs, or liver of the Pacific hagfish, Eptatretus stoutii. Zeaxanthin, present as esters in the skin and largely unesterified in the liver, was the only carotenoid identified in the thornback ray, Platyrhinoidis triseriata, and in the horned shark, Heterodontus francisci, whereas the skin of the Pacific mako shark, Isurus glaucus, yielded no carotenoids.

Reversible, light-screening pigment of elasmobranch eyes: chemical identity with melanin.

There lies directly beneath the tapetum lucidum, in the eyes of many elasmobranch fishes, a layer of darkly pigmented choroid cells which, in bright light, extend individual strands that aggregate to form a dark, compound curtain which shields the reflecting tapetal cells. This process is reversed in dim light or in darkness; the tapetum is exposed and visual sensitivity presumably Increased. The black choroid pigment has been isolated, analyzed, and shown to possess the properties of melanin.
