Simultaneous attainment of high electron and ion temperatures in discharges with internal transport barriers in ASDEX upgrade

Internal transport barriers have been demonstrated to exist also under conditions with T(e) approximately T(i) approximately 10 keV and predominant electron heating of the tokamak core region. Central electron cyclotron heating was added to neutral beam injection-heated ASDEX Upgrade discharges with a preexisting internal transport barrier, established through programmed current ramping leading to shear reversal. Compared to a reference internal transport barrier discharge without electron cyclotron resonance heating, the electron heat conductivity in the barrier region was found not to increase, in spite of a fivefold increase in electron heat flux, and also angular momentum and ion energy transport did not deteriorate.

Progressive interstitial lung disease in a 75 year old woman.

The case of a 75 year old woman with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease is presented. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was consistent with CD8+ cell alveolitis, and computerized tomography revealed features of bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP). The patient had been on clomipramine (a tricyclic antidepressant) for 9 months prior to the onset of disease. Cessation of the drug and very short-term oral corticosteroid treatment (prematurely terminated by the patient) resulted in complete resolution of clinical symptoms, morphological and physiological findings, which remained stable without treatment over the following year. A possible drug reaction to clomipramine presenting as BOOP is discussed.
