90—application of the descaling technique to the theory of shrinkproofing of wool

Abstract: Lincoln 36s fibres, shrinkproofed by various methods, were examined microscopically, frictional measurements were carried out and whole fibre and cuticle-rich material were analysed for amino acids and amide-nitrogen. In all treatments, except alcoholic NaOH, fission of disulphide bonds is the primary chemical reaction which produces the necessary change of physical properties to effect shrinkproofing, although there are other secondary reactions in at least two treatments. Shrinkproofing by degradative chemical methods is considered to be a function of modification of surface properties and of whole fibre properties. It is found that the efficacy of shrinkproofing parallels the severity of surface modification observed by microscopy for all treatments in which there is little or no attack on the whole fibre. The other properties measured, viz., loss of cystine in cuticle or whole fibre and frictional properties, show no correlation with the degree of shrinkproofing.

Viral haemorrhagic disease of rabbits and human health

Abstract: Viral haemorrhagic disease of rabbits (VHD), a potential biological control for wild rabbits in Australia and New Zealand, escaped from quarantined field trials on Wardang Island and spread to the mainland of Australia in October 1995. This study looked for any evidence of infection or illness in people occupationally exposed to the virus. Two hundred and sixty-nine people were interviewed and 259 blood samples were collected. Exposures to VHD-infected rabbits ranged from nil to very high. No VHD antibodies were detected in any of the 259 sera when tested by VHD competitive enzyme immunoassay, which had been validated with 1013 VHDV-specific antibody negative sera. A questionnaire designed to elicit symptoms of disease in a range of organ systems found no significant differences between illness in those exposed and those not exposed to VHD, nor could an association be found between exposure and subsequent episodes of illness. The findings are consistent with the view that exposure to VHD is not associated with infection or disease in humans.

Facial aesthetic injections in clinical practice: Pretreatment and posttreatment consensus recommendations to minimise adverse outcomes.

Abstract: Facial aesthetic treatment with injectable neuromodulators and hyaluronic acid fillers is well established, with favourable safety profiles and consistent outcomes. As with any medical treatment, adverse events and complications may occur. Adverse events associated with these products are typically transient and mild to moderate in severity. Serious adverse events, such as infection and intravascular occlusion, are rare. Proper patient selection, consent and counselling, preparation and impeccable injection technique are important risk reduction strategies. Both clinicians and patients must be alert to the signs and symptoms of complications so that appropriate treatment can be started promptly. In this article, the authors review the current literature and provide their consensus recommendations for minimising adverse outcomes when treating patients with botulinum toxin or hyaluronic acid fillers.
