Objective: To determine the retention of flexibility 25 days after 5 days of three 30second stretches. Design: A 2 x 4 repeated-measures factorial. Treatment and time were independent variables. The dependent variable was flexibility as measured by a sit-and-reach box. Measurements: 33 college students were tested before and after stretching for 5 consecutive days and without stretching on days...

RECENTLY several surgeons at the Moorfields Eye Hospital have been using Weve's operative technique (with minor modifications) for detachment of the retina. In short, this consists of accurate localisation of the hole or holes and the edge of a dialysis by means of a narrow beam of light; and localised surface diathermy by the unipolar method, followed by fine punctures, also unipolar, in the a...

A 76-year-old man presented after a series of six shocks in quick succession from his implanted biventricular defibrillator, without relief of palpitations and pre-syncope. Initial 12-lead electrocardiogram revealed ventricular tachycardia at 180 b.p.m. One 200 J external shock was delivered with successful return to sinus rhythm. Interrogation of the device revealed that the device had been re...
