Ferritin in Crohn's disease tissue: detection by electron microscopy.

Using immune electron microscopy, an attempt has been made to visualise viral particles in Crohn's disease tissue and faeces. No particles resembling viruses were observed, but in the absence of a specific antiserum a negative result does not exclude the presence of a virus, particularly if it is sparsely distributed. Compared with controls, an abundance of a 12 nm particle was found in all Crohn's disease tissue and one small intestinal lymphoma. This particle has been identified as ferritin and is unlikely to be of aetiological significance.

Extreme toxicity from combustion products of a fire-retarded polyurethane foam.

The products from nonflaming combustion of wood and a trimethylol-propane-based rigid-urethane foam that was not fire-retarded produced elevated carboxyhemoglobin levels but no abnormal neurological effects. However, when this type of foam contained a reactive phosphate fire retardant, the combustion products caused grand mal seizures and death in rats. The toxic combustion product responsible for the seizures has been identified as 4-ethyl-1-phospha-2,6,7-trioxabicyclo(2.2.2.)octane-1-oxide.

Localized cerebral atrophy: an important cause of non-Alzheimer's dementia.

Localized forms of cerebral atrophy (lobar atrophies) are more common than textbooks suggest and are often misdiagnosed. They may give rise to conductor disorder and personality change, or progressive language dysfunction. This article outlines the presenting features, the differential diagnosis and appropriate investigations.
