Stable fixation of fractures of the distal radius can be achieved by using two 2.0 mm titanium plates placed on the radial and intermediate columns angled 50° to 70° apart. We describe our results with this method in a prospective series of 74 fractures (58 severely comminuted) in 73 consecutive patients. Early postoperative mobilisation was possible in all except four wrists. All of the 73 pat...

Absfract-Stetlar ultraviolet light near 1SOOA is attenuated in the Earth’s upper atmosphere due to strong absorption in the Schumarm-Runge continuum of molecular oxygen. The intensity of stars in the Schumann-Runge continuum region has been monitored by the University of Wisconsin stellar photometers aboard the OAO-2 satellite durin ‘I, occultation of the star by the Earth’s atmosphere. These d...
