<b><i>Objective:</i></b> The cell block (CB) is an important adjunct to cytological preparations in diagnostic cytopathology. Optimizing cellular material in the CB is essential to the success of ancillary studies such as immunohistochemistry (IHC) and molecular studies (MS). Our aim was to identify which CB method was most suitable in a variety of specimen types and levels of cellularity. <b><i>Study Design:</i></b> We assessed 4 different CB methods, thrombin clot method (TCM), MD Anderson method (MDAM), gelatin foam method (GFM), and agar method (AM), with descriptive observations and ranking of the methods based on quantity of cells and morphological features. <b><i>Results:</i></b> TCM performed best in ranking for both quantity of cells and morphological features, followed by MDAM, GFM, and AM. Lack of adjuvant in the MDAM resulted in some unique morphological advantages which, however, also resulted in inconsistent performance. In low cellularity cases insufficient cells were frequently identified on slides from MDAM and AM CBs. Technique touch time was similar for all methods, with total processing time being shortest for TCM followed by MDAM, GFM, and AM. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> TCM was the most robust CB technique, retaining high scores for ranking of quantity and morphology in a variety of specimen cellularities and specimen types.

Response latencies in naming visually displayed numbers were measured for 20 Ss under control and alcohol treatments. The size of the stimulus pool was varied by sets of trials to produce stimulus-response uncertainty in the range 0 to 5 bits. Response latencies were a function of the amount of uncertainty, but alcohol impairment was not.

Older Populations

Psychometrics permits the quantification of cognition, affect and behaviour, thus permitting both the identification of pathology and degree of deviation from normality. These methods have been principally used in older populations to screen affective and cognitive disorders, as an adjunct to the differential diagnosis of different forms of cognitive dysfunction and also to describe and monitor the functional consequences of pathology. The application of psychometric tests in older populations raises several problems, notably the confounding effects of associated pathologies, changing definitions of disease threshold in parallel with advances in medical technology, and inadequate knowledge of normal information processing at higher ages. Computerized assessment, once considered inappropriate in older populations, is now commonly used to standardize administration procedures and tailor testing to individual competency. It has also permitted the more accurate measurement of information processing time, which is important in the diagnosis of many neuropsychiatric disorders.

The influence of target-word affective properties on information processing time in a high speed visual-search task was studied. The 24 words were embedded in random-letter matrices, with one word per matrix. Subjects (5 male, 5 female) were tested. Words extreme on emotionality (positive vs negative affect) yielded significantly longer latencies than neutral words. The results were discussed in the light of related list-learning and problem-solving research.

Objects of the study are derivatives of 1-p-t-butyl-phenoxy-9,10-anthraquinone with the various substituents in the position 2 and 4. As a result new anthraquinone derivatives have been obtained and the comparative study of their photochromic properties in solutions and polymer layers have been realized. The direct dependence of photographic characteristics of samples on chemical structure and conditions of thermal treatment was established. Tests have shown that the acylaminoderivatives of 1-aryloxy-9, 10-anthra-quinone synthesized can be used as light sensitive components of photochromic materials for the modern optical recording and information processing.
