Compound and rotational damping in warm deformed rare-earth nuclei.

The gamma decay in the quasicontinuum from selected configurations of the rotational nucleus 163Er has been measured with the EUROBALL array. A new analysis technique has allowed for the first time to directly measure the compound and rotational damping widths Gamma (micro) and Gamma (rot). Values of Gamma (micro) approximately 20 keV and Gamma (rot) approximately 200 keV are obtained in the spin region I approximately 30-40 variant Planck's over 2pi, in good agreement with microscopic cranked shell model calculations. A dependence of Gamma (micro) and Gamma (rot) on the K-quantum number of the nuclear states is also presented.

Comparative effects of intraocular pressure between systemic and topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: a clinical masked, cross-over study.

The aims of the following study were to compare the efficacy of Dorzolamide 1% eye drops with systemic Acetazolamide on the ocular pressure diurnal curve in patients with maximal medical therapy. Three ocular pressure curve were performed in glaucomatous patients, already receiving maximal medical therapy. After a baseline curve, patients were pretreated either with Dorzolamide 1% eye drops or 250 mg Acetazolamide tablets in a double-blind cross-over study. Dorzolamide 1% eye drops and 250 mg Acetazolamide tablets significantly reduced intraocular pressure (IOP) at 2 and 4 h after pretreatment. Both treatments caused a significantly additional decrease of IOP despite maximal medical therapy. Dorzolamide 1% eye drops is as effective as Acetazolamide tablets in reducing the IOP curve. Topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors may represent an additional and safer treatment for those patients with uncontrolled medical glaucoma.

[Carriage of HBs antigen in New Caledonia. Study according to ethnic group].

Owing to 2,772 New Caledonian blood donors and pregnant women, a study was made of the salient features of the H. B. s. antigen carrier state; percentages of carriers showed no difference according to the age and a slight difference between sexes. These percentages proved to be quite different according to ethnic groups. Smaller rates of carriers were found among Europeans (1.1%) than among Melanesians (7.6%) as well as Polynesians (7.7%). There is a relation between H. B. s. carrier state and positive treponema serology, the latter occurring more frequently among melanesian and polynesian groups.
