MRI of the anterior optic pathways following enucleation.
We examined five patients who had enucleation of one eye for inflammatory or neoplastic disease, using MRI at 1.5 Tesla. None had symptoms referable to the enucleated orbit. In addition, age- and-sex matched individuals were imaged as control subjects, and a further 15 subjects, referred for other than orbital disease, were reviewed. Measurements were made retrospectively of the dimensions of the optic chiasm to establish normal values. All five patients showed abnormalities on MRI following enucleation: abnormal signal within the optic nerve remnant on short tau inversion recovery (STIR) images, and atrophy of the nerve remnant and the chiasm. These findings were not apparent in the control or normal subjects. Such findings are to be expected following enucleation and should not be interpreted as indicating active pathology.

MRI of idiopathic orbital inflammatory syndrome using fat saturation and Gd-DTPA.
Idiopathic orbital inflammatory syndrome encompasses a group of inflammatory conditions for which no systemic or local cause can be found, and is commonly referred to as orbital pseudotumour. On conventional MRI sequences subtle areas of inflammation or enhancing tissue can easily be masked by the high signal intensity of orbital fat and involvement of the fat itself may not be appreciated. We describe the MRI features of three patients with idiopathic orbital inflammation using frequency-selective fat saturation and Gd-DTPA.

The ageing eye.
Most of the problems which occur due to aging of the eye present first to the GP. It is important to make an accurate diagnosis so that appropriate reassurance, treatment or referral can ensue.

[Comparison of various technics for determining nitrates in soil and vegetables].
In order to compare results obtained from various analytical techniques, nitrate determinations in soils and vegetables were made by four usual methods. These are a selective electrode, an autoanalyser with dialyser that determines nitrites following a nitrate reduction step by hydrazine sulfate, another autoanalyser that reduces nitrates with cadmium metal, and the usual DEVARDA method. Interferences and limitations of these techniques are discussed.

[Accumulation of nitrates in carrot root--agronomical consequences].
This paper deals with the effects of various parameters involved in plant nitrogen metabolism, on the nitrate content in carrot roots. Level of mineral nitrogen supply, activity of leaves and light intensity have been taken into account in factorial experiments. Results are discussed with a view to the improvement of the quality of root production with respect to their nitrate content.
