Radioisotope choroid plexography. A preliminary report.

Radioisotope plexography seems as easy and innocuous as routine brain scanning. An introductory method is given which could be improved. The choroid plexuses of the four ventricles were well visualized in 15 patients. Consideration is given to the possible labeling process. Besides its morphological value, the test could give interesting clues in the dynamic study of hydrocephalus.

Production of phenotypically epimeraseless yeast by L-arabinose.

The previous report from this laboratory that l-arabinose is a gratuitous inducer of the galactose transport system has been found to be an artefact resulting from the combination of galactose contamination of commercial samples of l-arabinose and inhibition by l-arabinose of galactose metabolism by inactivation of uridine-diphosphate-glucose-4-epimerase. As a result of l-arabinose inhibition of the metabolism of the contaminating galactose, galactose itself serves as a gratuitous inducer, producing phenotypically epimeraseless yeast.

The interrelationship between coping strategies and sexual functioning in in vitro fertilization patients.

This study examined the correlation between various coping strategies and sexual functioning and the likelihood of conception from in vitro fertilization (IVF). Self-reported questionnaires were distributed randomly among the 102 women enrolled in an IVF program, 96 of whom were recruited. Of the studied parameters, positive reinterpretation, and growth, and active coping strategies were found to be positively associated with sexual functioning, while there was a significantly (p < .05) adverse influence of planning and self-restraint. Being sexually active during the IVF-treatment period was found to be positively associated (p < .05) with the likelihood of conception and with adaptive coping strategies.

[Pneumographic signs of poorly compensated hydrocephalus].

A definition of "Hydrocephalus not completely arrested" is not easy to be given. Cerebral pneumography represents the most detailed neuroradiological examination. In spite of this, neither its analysis nor its measurements bring definite criteria for the favorable moment of locating a shunting system in that case. These criteria are reviewed systemetically. It is pointed out that only a careful synthesis of all signs can give a univoque answer, may be doubtful but never wrong. It is suggested from the personal experience that radioisotope cisternography is better suited for judging the state of compensation of an hydrocephalus. Radioisotopes do that without undue risks. It may be but one good reason for explaining the annual decrease in the number of pneumo-encephalographies (PEG) registered almost everywhere in the world. Other factors may be involved. No doubt that PEG has lost its first place in the study of patients who may have some kind of non tumoral hydrocephalus.
