FlyBase: a Drosophila database. The FlyBase consortium.

FlyBase is a database of genetic and molecular data concerning Drosophila. FlyBase is maintained as a relational database (in Sybase) and is made available as html documents and flat files. The scope of FlyBase includes: genes, alleles (and phenotypes), aberrations, transposons, pointers to sequence data, clones, stock lists, Drosophila workers and bibliographic references. The Encyclopedia of Drosophila is a joint effort between FlyBase and the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project which integrates FlyBase data with those from the BDGP.

Sex differences in patients admitted to a regional secure unit.

The case notes of all admissions to a Regional Secure Unit over a 12-year period were examined. A higher proportion of females had a diagnosis of personality disorder. Women were less likely to have a prosecuted offence associated with admission but were more likely to be charged with fire-setting. Patients with personality disorder were more likely to be transferred to special hospitals. Women were nearly three times as likely as men to be transferred to maximum security and this was not accounted for by the excess of females with personality disorder. There was net movement of men out of special hospitals whereas the opposite was true for women. Possible explanations for this are discussed.

Investigation of Possum users in Scotland.

New users in Scotland of Possum PSU3 environmental control equipment were investigated over a 2-year period. At the conclusion of the study, of 48 disabled people, some 9 months after installation, 29 (60%) were still using the equipment, seven (15%) still had the equipment but were not using it, seven (15%) had had the equipment removed or cancelled at their request, and five (10%) had died. Of the 29 users eight (28%) were having specific operational difficulties. Analysis of a series of factors which could have influenced the outcome of the study did not reveal any one statistically significant factor affecting the success or failure of the use of the equipment for the whole sample. Individual case studies did reveal some problems which should be attended to, and which are relevant to occupational therapists.

Antibiotic sensitivities of urinary pathogens isolated from patients in Liverpool, 1984-5.

Urinary pathogens isolated from patients in general practice, an antenatal clinic and several hospitals in Liverpool during 1984-5 have been tested for antibiotic sensitivities. The proportion of sensitive organisms varied from antimicrobial to antimicrobial and from institution to institution. Isolates from all institutions showed high rates of sensitivity to cephradine, nalidixic acid and nitrofurantoin, and somewhat lower rates to trimethoprim. Significantly lower sensitivities were found to ampicillin and sulphamethoxazole indicating that neither ampicillin nor a sulphonamide is suitable for initial choice on a 'best guess' basis in the situation studied. In general, the organisms derived from the antenatal patients showed the highest rates of sensitivity and those isolated from patients in geriatric hospitals the lowest.
