Low cost cosmetic hand prostheses.

66 patients with congenital or acquired amputations of the hand have been studied after fitting partial or complete silicone hand prostheses which can be manufactured at relatively low cost. Most patients used their prostheses on social occasions only and all but four expressed satisfaction with them.

Double dislocations of digits.

We report eight patients who sustained simultaneous dislocations of two joints in a digit. The little finger was involved in five patients.

Amputation of the little finger.

We review 17 patients who had 21 amputations of the little finger. Transmetacarpal amputations gave satisfactory results in older patients, but in young patients loss of breadth of the palm caused significant disability. Disarticulation through the metacarpophalangeal joint is recommended in younger patients.

Hemangiopericytoma of the median nerve.

This is a case report of a hemangiopericytoma located within the median nerve at the wrist in a 79-year-old man. The tumor was removed without loss of function.

The activity of nitrofurazone and furazolidone against Leishmania donovani, L. major and L. enriettii in vitro and in vivo.

Furazolidone and nitrofurazone showed in vitro activity against amastigotes of Leishmania donovani, L. enriettii and L. major in macrophages, at concentrations which were also toxic to the macrophages. A low grade of activity was observed against L. donovani infections in BALB/c mice by furazolidone but not with nitrofurazone. Nitrofurazone, in two concentrations, was not active when applied to the lesions of cutaneous leishmaniasis due to L. enriettii (guinea-pig infection) or L. major strain P (BALB/c mouse infection). After systemic administration to BALB/c mice infected with L. major strain JISH 252 clone 1, low-grade activity was observed at the highest level tested.

Dislocation of the trapezio-metacarpal joint.

Acute traumatic dislocation of the trapezio-metacarpal joint is not invariably associated with instability of the joint after reduction and the injury should not be considered simply as a "Bennett's fracture without a fracture".

Bone blood flow measured with microspheres: the problem of non-entrapment.

Radioactive microspheres were injected into the tibial nutrient arteries of dogs. The validity of their use to measure bone blood flow was tested by examining their concentration in femoral venous blood. Non-entrapment in the tibia was considerable in two animals following rather prolonged alternate periods of perfusion and ischaemia. When such treatment was minimised, non-entrapment was small, showing that in this respect microspheres provide a valid means of measuring bone blood flow.

The pattern of distribution of blood flow in dog limb bones measured using microspheres.

The distribution of blood flow to segments of the leg bones of anaesthetised dogs was studied using radioactive microspheres injected into the heart or the tibial nutrient artery. Following central injection, repeated measurements after an interval showed no change of pattern of distribution. The effects of ligation of the tibial nutrient artery during this interval suggested that 30% of the blood flow to the tibia is normally via this vessel, which predominantly supplies the diaphysis. This deduction differed from that derived from the injection of microspheres during perfusion through a tibial nutrient artery cannula, when half the flow reached the epiphyses. This proportion decreased and the flow to the diaphyseal marrow increased after alternate periods of perfusion and ischaemia, demonstrating the labile nature of bone blood flow distribution.
