Abstract Vol. 39: p. 527. In the article by N. E. Morrissey, S. F. Quadri, R. Kinders, C. Brigham, S. Rose, and M. J. Blend entitled "Modified method for determining carcinoembryonic antigen in the presence of anti-murine antibodies," 1993;39:522-9, the graphs A and B in the left-hand column of page 527 should be exchanged with graphs A and B in the right-hand column, so that the legend for Figure 2 refers to graphs for two HAMA-negative patients and the legend for Figure 3 refers to three HAMA-positive patients. p. 1401. In the article by J. M. Queraltó, J. C. Boyd, and E. K. Harris entitled "On the calculation of reference change values, with examples from a long-term study," 1993;39:1398-403, the last two columns of Table 4 are incorrect: in the next-to-last column, a misprint occurred in the line for sodium; in the last column, a number was omitted, causing other numbers to be misplaced. The columns should have read as follows: See table in the PDF file p. 1901. In the Scientific Note by R. G. Parsons, R. Kowal, D. LeBlond, V. T. Yue, L. Neargarder, L. Bond, D. Garcia, D. Slater, and P. Rogers, entitled "Multianalyte assay system developed for drugs of abuse," 1993;39:1899-903, the word "trihexylphenidyl" in line 1 of the text in column 2, page 1901, should read "trihexyphenidyl." p. 1942. In Oak Ridge Conference paper by R. Devlin, R. M. Studholme, W. D. Dandliker, K. Blumeyer, and S. S. Ghosh, entitled "Homogeneous detection of nucleic acids by transientstate polarized fluorescence," 1993;39:1939-43, the x-axis for Figure 5 should read: "Volume of 3SR product solution (1O-4 x µL)," not (10-3 x µL). p. 1982. In the Oak Ridge Conference Poster Session, the paper by D. Crisan, M. J. Anstett, N. Matta, and D. H. Farkas entitled "Detection of bcl-2 oncogene rearrangement in follicular lymphoma: nucleic acid hybridization and polymerase chain reaction compared," 1993;39:1980-2, the word "bone" in the first line at the top of page 1982 should have read "bone marrow."

ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the long-term efficacy of acoustically controlled auditory training in adults after tarumatic brain injury. Methods A total of six audioogically normal individuals aged between 20 and 37 years were studied. They suffered severe traumatic brain injury with diffuse axional lesion and underwent an acoustically controlled auditory training program approximately one year before. The results obtained in the behavioral and electrophysiological evaluation of auditory processing immediately after acoustically controlled auditory training were compared to reassessment findings, one year later. Results Quantitative analysis of auditory brainsteim response showed increased absolute latency of all waves and interpeak intervals, bilaterraly, when comparing both evaluations. Moreover, increased amplitude of all waves, and the wave V amplitude was statistically significant for the right ear, and wave III for the left ear. As to P3, decreased latency and increased amplitude were found for both ears in reassessment. The previous and current behavioral assessment showed similar results, except for the staggered spondaic words in the left ear and the amount of errors on the dichotic consonant-vowel test. Conclusion The acoustically controlled auditory training was effective in the long run, since better latency and amplitude results were observed in the electrophysiological evaluation, in addition to stability of behavioral measures after one-year training.

• Relationships Between Functional Assays and Enzyme Immunoassays as Measurements of Responses to Acellular and Whole-Cell Pertussis Vaccines (1995;96:595-600): In the introduction, "WCL" is used incorrectly in three instances as an abbreviation for whole-cell pertussis vaccines. On page 595 (15 lines from the bottom of the right-hand column), "WCL pertussis immunization" should have read "whole-cell pertussis immunization." Similarly, on page 596 (in lines 21 through 23 of the left-hand column), "WCL vaccines" twice should have read "whole-cell vaccines." All other references to WCL in this article mean the specific product listed in Table 1 on page 596.

Owing to a printer's error in the Author's Response of Daniel Pérusse's “Cultural and reproductive success in industrial societies: Testing the relationship at the proximate and ultimate levels,” BBS 16(2) 1993, two lines were transposed. On p. 314, the first line of the right-hand column should appear as the first line of the left-hand column on p. 315 and vice versa.The corrected sentences should read:(p. 314, sect. R3.1) The confounding of mating success with male status is accordingly not straightforward, since the status of female partners was unknown and could well have covaried weakly, if at all, with that of respondents; indeed, the strong correlation found between muting success and social status in men suggests that the latter must have “mated down” on many if not most occasions, as is commonly observed in openly polygynous societies (e.g., Dickemann 1981).(pp.314–15, sect. R3.2) In modern human societies, however, many factors contribute to the fact that female choice is unlikely to be absent from any mating occurrence except rape: (1) Pure female-defense polygyny is not encountered; (2) traditional restraints on female choice such as arranged marriages (Whyte 1978) have disappeared; (3) claustration and general control of female sexuality (Dickemann 1981) are nonexistent or highly reduced. For these reasons, any explanation of mating behavior that completely ignores active choice by women (and men) does not seem very compelling.

XIV. Charges made against Mary Stuart. 1586

This paper is written in two separate columns. The right hand column contains a list of charges against Mary; the left hand column, which is evidently incomplete, contains a statement of the proofs for some of the charges made. The former is written in a clerkly hand in the ordinary Gothic script of the Elizabethan period, the latter, probably by the same hand, in Italian script. There is an exact copy of this paper written in the same manner and by the same hand among the papers relating to Mary Stuart in the Record Office (Vol. viii, no. 54) which has been wrongly calendared in the Scottish Calendar under the year 1577. It is impossible to fix the date of this paper exactly, but it certainly belongs sometime after the execution of Dr. Parry (March 2, 1584/5) and before the trial of the Scottish Queen (October 1586). Very likely it has some connection with the proceedings against Mary in 1586 although the charges which it lodges against her do not seem to have been brought forward at her trial. It is somewhat surprising to find in it no reference whatsoever to the Throgmorton plot, Mary's complicity in which was well known to the English government.

Object The effects of thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) on essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson disease (PD) have been well documented, but there is a paucity of long-term data. The aim of this study was to evaluate the longterm safety and efficacy of DBS of the ventralis intermedius nucleus (VIM) of the thalamus for PD and ET. Methods Thirty-eight of 45 patients enrolled at five sites completed a 5-year follow-up study. There were 26 patients with ET and 19 with PD undergoing 29 unilateral (18 ET/11 PD) and 16 bilateral (eight ET/eight PD) procedures. Patients with ET were evaluated using the Tremor Rating Scale, and patients with PD were evaluated using the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale. The mean age of patients with ET was 70.2 years and 66.3 years in patients with PD. Unilaterally implanted patients with ET had a 75% improvement of the targeted hand tremor; those with bilateral implants had a 65% improvement in the left hand and 86% in the right compared with baseline. Parkinsonian patients with unilateral implants had an 85% improvement in the targeted hand tremor and those with bilateral implants had a 100% improvement in the left hand and 90% improvement in the right. Common DBS-related adverse events in patients receiving unilateral implants were paresthesia (45%) and pain (41%), and in patients receiving implants bilaterally dysarthria (75%) and balance difficulties (56%) occurred. Device-related surgical revisions other than IPG replacements occurred in 12 (27%) of the 45 patients. Conclusions Thalamic stimulation is safe and effective for the long-term management of essential and parkinsonian tremors. Bilateral stimulation can cause dysarthria and incoordination and should be used cautiously.

In a previous paper (Cheadle et al., 1967) we described a form in use in this hospital since 1961 for rating the work performance of psychiatric patients. The form was shown to possess adequate inter-rater reliability and predictive validity, but it had certain shortcomings which we have tried to remove in a revised version. This (Fig. 1) consists of 16 items of work behaviour each rated on a five point scale and scoreable by awarding o for each tick in the left hand column, 1 for each in the next column and so on, 4 being given for each tick in the right hand column. The lower the score the better the performance.

And Control

It is a widely held opinion among musicians that extreme joint positions increase the flexibility in the corresponding joints. There are also occasional views that extensive use of the fingers starting in childhood may lead to increased finger length. These opinions have implications for teaching methods; however, in spite of extensive examinations of the shapes of musicians’ hands, to date there have been almost no objective findings. There have been large-scale examinations of the angle of supination of the left elbow of violinists, with the finding that primarily genetic factors are responsible. In order to answer the question whether external factors can influence joint configurations of the hand as well as finger length, the active finger spreads and finger lengths of 210 subjects (cellists, guitarists, and control subjects) were measured. The working hypothesis was that there would be an increase in finger spread in the left hand fingers compared with the right if the frequent extreme positions taken on the fingerboard did in fact influence finger spread. The nonmusician control group, however, would not be expected to show this difference, or at least not to the same extent as in the musicians. Similar differences should apply to finger length, if this is influenced by long-term practicing on these instruments. A majority of the measurements of all three groups demonstrated a greater spreadability of the fingers of the left hand than of the right. In contrast to the comparison groups, there was a significantly greater span between the left hand index and small fingers of cellists. This span was not measured in the guitarists because it does not apply in their playing as it does for cellists. In addition, the measurements of the right-left differences in the finger lengths of the cellists when compared with the nonmusician group showed significantly longer fingers on the left than the right. This difference is probably caused by better-developed fingertips of the cellists. Further research is needed to discern whether the spreadability could be improved through specific training programs.

Conversely, the current is probably also not due to a simple disinhibition by a diffusible factor because activated channels can be read-.
