In the past 10 years phenylbutazone (Butazolidin) has been recognized to be of value in the treatment of many painful musculo-skeletal disorders. Currie (1951, 1952) reported favourably, but after initial enthusiasm, it became evident that many side-effects could result. It is now generally accepted that its pain-relieving properties make it particularly useful in chronic disorders of bones and...

seems more likely that it is due to the formation of a pigment in the body from the condensation products of the drug itself (Marshall and Walzl, 1937). Posner and his colleagues (1938) described a highly unstable form of methsemoglobin which they thought, might account for cyanosis in some of these cases. In many instances, however, the cyanosis is associated with sulphor methaemoglobinaemia (...

The most characteristic ocular lesions in pseudoxanthoma elasticum are the angioid streaks which may be seen in about 85 per cent. of cases. The associated features in the fundus are a peculiar mottled appearance (Shimizu, I96I), peau d'orange (Smith, Gass, and Justice, I964), and yellowish-white spots (salmon spots). While most subjects showing angioid streaks have pseudoxanthoma elasticum, cl...

No issue has been the subject of greater debate among both practicing and academic accountants than asset valuation (and hence income measurement). The debate on this issue has been going on for over 50 years (e.g., Paton [1922] and Canning [1929]) and, at times, at a high level of intensity. The primary issue is whether historical cost of assets should be adjusted for price changes and, if so,...

J Fam Plann Reprod Health Care 2006: 32(4) Introduction Many groups seek a change in current UK abortion legislation. Such organisations consist of parliamentary groups, professional bodies, pro-choice and anti-abortion campaign groups and charitable service providers. Individuals have initiated court cases to achieve change. Abortion law in the UK is laid down in the Abortion Act 1967, as amen...

1 Investigators’ Track Records This ambitious project demands a multi-disciplinary team of researchers with the necessary skills. We have formed a consortium along these lines, constituted by eight partners that bring together the necessary expertise and potential resources to match the scientific/technological challenges of the project. Most importantly, the project partners cover the research...

Abstract Conventional and hybrid light quark baryons are constructed in the non-relativistic flux-tube model of Isgur and Paton, which is motivated by lattice QCD. The motion of the flux tube with the three quark positions fixed, except for center of mass corrections, is discussed. It is shown that the problem can be reduced to the independent motion of the junction and the strings connecting t...

The Green-Schwarz action for an open superstring with additional boundary fermions, representing Chan-Paton factors, is studied at the classical level. The boundary geometry is described by a bundle M , with fermionic fibres, over the super worldvolume M of a D-brane together with a map from M into the N = 2, D = 10 target superspace M. This geometry is constrained by the requirement of kappa-s...
