Abstract

We have devised an improved technique for sampling gas from endotracheal airways for mass spectrometer analysis. It is reliable and unobtrusive and is particularly resistant to occlusion of the sampling line by secrections. It has performed well during continuous monitoring of patients in a respiratory ICU.

Pancreatic ultrasound--a systematic approach to scanning technique.

The pancreas remains one of the more difficult organs to visualize but ultrasound can be successful in nearly 90% of patients. A systematic technique for identifying and delineating the pancreas is described and has been verified on over 500 patients to date. The success of the technique depends on an accurate knowledge of the vascular relations of the pancreas and on correct adjustment of the ultrasound equipment. This paper is intended to help ultrasound practitioners achieve both these ends.

Intraocular gas tamponades used in retinal surgery.

Intraocular gas tamponades have proven useful in the treatment of selected retinal detachments. The critical parameter determining the effectiveness of a gas tamponade is its ability to cover an area of retina. A technique for estimating intraocular bubble size in terms of the area of bubble-retina contact is described.

Mutagenicity of fume particles from metal arc welding on stainless steel in the Salmonella/microsome test.

Mutagenic activity of fume particles produced by metal arc welding on stainless steel (ss) is demonstrated by using the Salmonella/microsome mutagenicity test described by Ames et al., with strain TA100 (base-pair substitution) and TA98 (frame-shift reversion). Results of a representative but limited selection of processes and materials show that mutagenic activity is a function of process and process parameters. Welding on stainless steel produces particles that are mutagenic, whereas welding on mild steel (ms) produces particles that are not. Manual metal arc (MMA) welding on stainless steel produces particles of higher mutagenic activity than does metal inert gas (MIG) welding, and fume particles produced by MIG welding under short-arc transfer. Further studies of welding fumes (both particles and gases) must be performed to determine process parameters of significance for the mutagenic activity.
