The "involuntary postcontraction" mechanism or the postcontractile elastic restitution.

Unquestionable experimental proofs are brought forward in support of the non-cortical origin of "involuntary postcontraction". The mechanism of this phenomenon is purely passive and it originates in the elastic component of the muscular organ. Far from inducing the postcontractile event, cortical induction brakes it. The results obtained up to now enable the authors to consider that the analysis of postcontraction provides quantifiable information of great practical importance on the type and momental functional state of human nervous system.

[Infection with species of the genus Bordetella in adults, a factor in maintaining morbidity for whooping cough. Serological studies].

A number of 1021 serological investigations were performed to identify agglutinating antibodies against B. pertussis and B. parapertussis in adults. The investigations were initiated to study the presence of agglutinins in serum, in response to a previous infection with Bordetella species. The serological tests revealed the presence of agglutinating antibodies at titres considered to be positive (> or = 1/320) in 136 (13.3%) sera. The results obtained suggest that pertussis is relatively frequent in adults, and must be considered as a factor of maintaining morbidity.
