Olfactory function in essential tremor.

Olfactory function, assessed by the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test, was normal in essential tremor (ET) patients and significantly reduced in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). This finding further supports a lack of association between ET and PD.

Embolism during caesarean section.

We investigated the occurrence of gas embolism during Caesarean section using a Doppler ultrasound probe and found that it occurs between uterine incision and delivery. Embolism is less common during general anaesthesia than has been reported during regional anaesthesia. Both ruptured membranes and a protracted uterine incision to delivery interval predispose to embolism.

Incidence of sperm antibodies before and after vasectomy.

Sperm-agglutinating antibodies were present in three (2-6%) of 117 fertile men and in 19 (33-9%) of 56 men who had been vasectomized. Twenty-four of the 56 vasectomized men had been studied before vasectomy; sperm-agglutinating antibodies were present in one (4-3%) compared with eight (33-3%) after vasectomy. No sperm-immobilizing antibodies were detected before vasectomy but were present in 10 (17-9%) of the 56 men after vasectomy.
