Algorithm for the multi-parameter analysis of nystagmus using a digital computer.

Abstract

A computer program for analyzing nystagmus has been developed and can be used on a small laboratory digital computer. The algorithm accepts digitized data and looks for the minimum and maximum (minmax) points of the nystagmus waveform. These points in turn are used to define seven descriptive parameters of nystagmus, including the amplitude, duration, and velocity of the slow and fast phases, and the frequency. The algorithm uses three user-adjusted criteria for accepting or rejecting minmax points. The treatment of noisy or irregular data can be improved by adjusting the values of these criteria.

Molecular orbital study on the glutathione-dependent detoxication of ozonides.

The present paper describes a theoretical study on the mechanism underlying the reaction of cellular glutathione (GSH) with polyunsaturated fatty acid ozonides. The reaction can be catalyzed by glutathione S-transferases and leads to detoxication of the ozonides. Semi-empirical molecular orbital computer calculations suggest that the reaction of glutathione with ozonides involves a nucleophilic attack at one of the carbon atoms of the ozonide ring, instead of at one of the peroxidic oxygen atoms of the ozonide ring. This implies a mechanism different from that of the glutathione S-transferase-mediated reaction with hydroperoxides, previously proposed for the glutathione-dependent detoxication of fatty acid ozonides.
