Although paramphistomes have been known to occur in cattle and sheep in the British Isles for-many years little precise information on the incidence, distribution and degree of infection is available. The diagnosis, except in exceptional cases, can be made only post mortem, or by the detection of eggs in the faeces. Before undertaking an investigation into this problem it was necessary to devise a simple standard technique for the collection of eggs from cattle faeces, which would be practicable not only in the laboratory but also in the field. This done, it became desirable to know firstly, within what limits egg counts were reliable criteria on which to base estimates of the number of parasites present; secondly, what was the smallest number of parasites which could be detected by faecal examination; thirdly, how much variation occurred in egg-counts from week to week in the same animals; and fourthly, if there were any variation in counts made on faeces collected at different hours of the day.

Abstract Background The current gold-standard technique for radial styloidectomy is arthroscopic. The use of only two dorsal portals may not allow a crystal-clear view of the dorsal arthritic rim of the radius because of the dorsal capsule synovitis. Objectives To propose a new technique for isolated arthroscopic radial styloidectomy. The addition of a volar radial portal and a sequential procedure are presented. Patients and Methods Two trochars for alternatively viewing from volar radial or 3–4 are used. A 1–2 portal is used for instrumentation with a motorized burr. We have been using the three-portal technique in 34 cases (26 isolated). Results This modification of the classic arthroscopic radial styloidectomy is technically easy and the view of the dorsal rim of the radius provides a clear definition and treatment of the dorso-radial arthritic pathology. Conclusions The authors recommend this technical trick to perform an easy and comprehensive isolated palliative or curative arthroscopic radial styloidectomy.

A New Technique

A new technique of syndactyly release is described. The technique differs from the standard methods in that more digital flaps are used, and these are longer and are not defatted. A single stitch is applied to secure the tip of the flap and the defects between the flaps are not closed or grafted, hence the term “open” technique. Eight patients had 12 webs released using this operation. We compare this technique with 12 patients who had a total of 19 webs released using the standard technique. Patients were assessed for six parameters of operative success.

Historical Controls

AbstractUncinectomy is an important step in endoscopic sinus surgery. The traditional method of performing uncinectomy has the risk of penetration of the lamina papyracea with orbital fat exposure. If the orbital penetration is not recognized, major complications may follow. In this study the authors used historical consecutive controls to compare the incidence of orbital penetration, identification of the natural ostium and lacrimal apparatus injury by the traditional surgical technique and a new technique of uncinectomy. Six hundred and thirty-six uncinectomies have been performed using the ‘swing-door’ technique. The 636 uncinectomies performed prior to changing techniques were used as historical controls. The incidence of orbital penetration (six compared to 0; p<0.05) and ostium non-identification (42 not identified as compared to 0; p<0.001) was significantly less with the new technique. One lacrimal injury occurred with the ‘swing-door’ technique compared to zero with the standard technique (p>0.05). The techniques are described and the complications discussed. The authors recommend this technique as it is easy to learn, allows removal of the uncinate flush with the lateral nasal wall and allows easy identification of the natural ostium of the maxillary sinus.

Ice Fabrics

AbstractA new method for ice-fabric analysis which is easily automated is described. The technique relies on a set of digital images of an ice thin section viewed through crossed polarizers and rotated to various angles. From the acquired set of images, the c-axis orientation of all the grains in the image can be determined. The theoretical basis for the technique is described in detail, including corrections for refraction, as well as other corrections for off-axis grains and polarization/reflection effects. An experiment was performed comparing results of the new technique with those of the standard technique. Excellent agreement was obtained. It is expected that an automated system using this technique (currently almost complete) will have a large impact on the amount of information and physical knowledge which can be extracted from ice fabrics in the future.

A New Technique

The essential features of the method, which is described in detail, are a sieving technique to collect quantitatively theFasciola hepaticaeggs of a sample of cattle faeces, a new technique for transferring quantitatively the eggs to a measured amount of water, and a new technique for obtaining even distribution of the eggs within a counting chamber. Technical details for manufacturing the apparatus and the counting slide, designed to perform the different stages of the method, are given. The correctness of the resulting counts is demonstrated.
