Abstract
This report describes a new therapeutic approach to the treatment of adults with portal systemic encephalopathy using sodium benzoate and sodium phenylacetate, two compounds that increase conjugated nitrogen excretion in the urine and that have been shown to be an effective treatment for children with congenital hyperammonemia. The study was a double-blind cross-over study in which each patient was his own control. All patients either improved their mental status (six of eight) or maintained a mental status comparable to that achieved with conventional therapy [lactulose or neomycin (two of eight)]. All decreased their blood ammonias on these medications and seven of eight improved their portal systemic encephalopathy index. It is suggested that these medications may be useful in the treatment of portal systemic encephalopathy.

Abstract
Melittin has been found to interact with both the N- and C-terminal half-molecules of calmodulin, as well as the intact molecule, in the presence of Ca2+. The interaction results in a major change in the microenvironment of Trp-19, which is in a more nonpolar, solvent-shielded, and immobilized microenvironment in the complex. The properties of Tyr-99 and Tyr-138 of calmodulin are altered by complex formation. From measurements of the efficiencies of radiationless energy transfer from Trp-19 to the nitro derivatives of Tyr-99 and/or Tyr-138, it is concluded that Trp-19 is located in proximity to the C-terminal lobe of calmodulin in the complex.

Abstract
The combination of glucagon with calmodulin alters the microenvironment of Tyr-99, but not Tyr-138, and is blocked by the binding of trifluoperazine by calmodulin. Trp-25 of glucagon is probably involved in the zone of interaction, which may also overlap one or more strong binding sites for trifluoperazine. From energy transfer measurements, one strong binding site for trifluoperazine probably involves the N-terminal region of binding domain III. Energy transfer and other evidence suggest that the zone of contact with glucagon involves the N-terminal region of binding domain III.

Abstract
Cellular components in peritoneal fluid of infertile patients with and without endometriosis were evaluated in 102 patients with Wright's-Giemsa and Papanicolaou stains. The secretory activity of these cells was studied indirectly by assaying acid phosphatase, prostaglandin (PG) F2 alpha and PGE2 and complement components C3c and C4. The results showed that macrophages and lymphocytes were the dominant cells in peritoneal fluid of these patients. These cells were significantly increased in endometriosis patients, as compared with control subjects. In addition, peritoneal fluid acid phosphatase, PGF2 alpha and PGE2, and complement components C3c and C4 were significantly increased in patients with endometriosis. These cellular changes and their activation in peritoneal fluid may explain infertility associated with endometriosis.

Abstract
Studies on the incidence and epidemiologic features of brain injury and the immediate medical outcomes are few, and published results have serious methodological inconsistencies which prohibit comparisons. This study provides incidence rates of brain injury among the residents of San Diego, California. Cases had clinical confirmation and onset of injury occurred during 1981. The 3358 cases identified represent a rate of 180/100,000 with males having a 2.2 times higher rate than females. Rates were highest for males aged 15-24 years and, for both genders, those over age 70. Forty-eight per cent of all cases were from transport-related causes, followed by falls (21%) and assaults (12%). Over 11% were dead-on-arrival, and 16% were classified as having moderate or severe brain damage on admission to a hospital. Age- and sex-specific incidence rates varied according to external cause of injury. For example, for most subcategories of motor vehicle crashes and for assaults, the incidence rate was highest among males aged 15-24, while for brain injuries from falls or firearms, highest incidence rates were observed in older age groups. Almost 7% of all cases discharged alive from an acute care hospital had significant neurologic sequelae. The impact of brain injury is discussed as a major unresolved public health problem.

Abstract
In order to assess whether a high-frequency air-bone gap characteristically exists in older adults, air- and bone-conduction thresholds were measured for 147 ears from subjects ranging in age from 19 to 87 years. Results indicated that there were no apparent age-related effects, as evidenced by the mean data, the SDs, and scatterplots showing individual data points. However, a small number of older adults did have high-frequency air-bone gaps. In order to gain a better understanding of underlying causes, additional subjects over 50 years of age with high-frequency air-bone gaps were recruited. Ear-canal collapse did not appear to be a predominant underlying factor. Cerumen obstruction, healed tympanic membrane perforations, and an apparent loosening in the middle-ear system all were observed in ears with high-frequency air-bone gaps.

Abstract
Real-time ultrasonography is being used increasingly to establish the diagnosis of and serially assess intraventricular hemorrhage and hydrocephalus in neonates. The procedure requires an open fontanel because scatter from the bone occurs from direct application of the transducer to the skull and bone density precludes satisfactory imaging. With an adult, under circumstances where a bone flap is left out after intracranial procedures and the patient's clinical status is such that the patient cannot be transferred for computed tomographic scanning, real-time ultrasonography allows a safe, noninvasive, bedside demonstration of ventricular size, degree of shift of midline structures, and intraparenchymal and intraventricular lesions.

Abstract
Directions were given to modify the Starkey HSL for more efficient programming capabilities (Memory Address Modifier), subject response (Response Box), and feedback (Logic Control) functions. These modifications improved classroom demonstrations in that subject response, as in actual experiments, may be demonstrated, and more than one experiment can be programmed prior to class. These changes also improved the HSL potential for clinical and research applications.

Abstract
Phosphorylase kinase (ATP: phosphorylase-b phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.38) forms molecular complexes with glycogen over a range of conditions. The extent of interaction at pH 7.0, 20 degrees C, is greatly enhanced in the simultaneous presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+. If either cation is absent, the extent of complex formation is substantially reduced. Significant changes in the physical properties of phosphorylase kinase are observed in the presence of Ca2+ plus Mg2+, suggesting that a conformational change may occur under these conditions.

Abstract
Prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) metabolite (13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGF2 alpha) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were assayed in the cul-de-sac fluid aspirated from 15 patients with endometriosis, in saline peritoneal washings of 5 patients with unexplained infertility, and in 5 control subjects. The fluid from the cul-de-sac of patients with endometriosis showed wide variations in the concentrations of PGF2 alpha metabolite and PGE2. There was no correlation between the concentration of these prostaglandins (PGs) and the stage of the cycle. Saline peritoneal washings from patients with unexplained infertility had significantly higher concentrations of PGF2 alpha metabolite than the control subjects. The concentration of PGE2 in the saline peritoneal washings was higher in the group with unexplained infertility than in the control group; however, the difference was not significant. The concentration of PGF2 alpha metabolite and PGE2 in the peritoneal saline washings from patients with unexplained infertility were no different from the concentrations of these PGs in the peritoneal fluid (PF) from patients with endometriosis. PG concentration in PF of infertile patients with or without endometriosis is a new variable for evaluation in these patients.

Abstract
Thresholds were measured at 250, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 6,000, and 8,000 Hz in 20 normal adult ears and in ten ears from adults with varying amounts of ear-canal collapse. To alleviate the attenuation caused by ear-canal collapse, ear-canal inserts, postauricular pads, or circumaural cushions (Telephonics 510-020) were used with earphones (TDH-49). The circumaural cushions provided the lowest thresholds for the listeners with ear-canal collapse. Although thresholds with the ear-canal inserts were comparable to those with the circumaural cushions for many of the listeners, the ear-canal inserts were not suitable for listeners with more severe ear-canal collapse because the insert was displaced when the supra-aural cushion was placed on the pinna. Thresholds with the postauricular pinna pads were higher than with the circumaural cushions for most individuals.

Abstract
Many aspects of auditory processing in aging listeners are poorly understood. Methodological problems encountered with the aging population, ranging from ear canal collapse to a conservative criterion, have rarely been considered in past research. The relation between pure-tone thresholds and other aspects of auditory functions is unclear. There have been few studies of frequency and temporal analysis in aging listeners. There is disagreement on the effect of age on speech discrimination abilities in various listening conditions, and the cause of speech perception problems in aging listeners has not been adequately investigated. Areas of importance for clinical consideration and auditory research with aging listeners are discussed.
