    Abstract Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the thyroid nodule has become part of accepted practice defining the role of surgery. This study assessed a 5-year period comparing cytologic with histopathologic diagnosis in 256 samples from 234 patients (203 women and 31 men). Inadequate cytologic samples were obtained in 21.1% of cases. The sensitivity and positive predictive values for the detection by FNAC of thyroid neoplasms was 21.1% and 30.8%, respectively, with a specificity and negative predictive value of 79.5% and 70.0%, respectively. The overall FNAC accuracy was 61.9%. It is anticipated that improvement in diagnosis will develop from specific cytopathological training in thyroid FNAC, consideration of the cytopathologist performing the aspiration biopsy, and the development of immunohistochemical and molecular techniques applied to the cytologic smears. The principal inherent difficulty with thyroid FNAC is the inability to confidently distinguish hyperplastic follicular adenomas from microinvasive follicular carcinomas.

    Abstract The diversity of indigenous bacteria in sediments from several sites in the Elizabeth River (Virginia) able to degrade multiple polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was investigated by the use of classical selective enrichment and molecular analyses. Enrichment cultures containing naphthalene, phenanthrene, fluoranthene, or pyrene as a sole carbon and energy source were monitored by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) to detect changes in the bacterial-community profile during enrichment and to determine whether the representative strains present were successfully cultured. The DGGE profiles of the final enrichments grown solely on naphthalene and pyrene showed no clear relationship with the site from which the inoculum was obtained. The enrichments grown solely on pyrene for two sample sites had >80% similarity, which suggests that common pyrene-degrading strains may be present in these sediments. The final enrichments grown on fluoranthene and phenanthrene remained diverse by site, suggesting that these strains may be influenced by environmental conditions. One hundred and one isolates were obtained, comprising representatives of the actinomycetes and alpha-, beta-, and gammaproteobacteria, including seven novel isolates with 16S rRNA gene sequences less than 98% similar to known strains. The ability to degrade multiple PAHs was demonstrated by mineralization of 14C-labeled substrate and growth in pure culture. This supports our hypothesis that a high diversity of bacterial strains with the ability to degrade multiple PAHs can be confirmed by the combined use of classical selective enrichment and molecular analyses. This large collection of diverse PAH-degrading strains provides a valuable resource for studies on mechanisms of PAH degradation and bioremediation.

    Abstract For the period March to November 1998 inclusive, a prospective survey was conducted of all patients who sustained injuries with a cutlass or machete and were admitted to the Accident and Emergency Department of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Of the 77 patient admissions, 81% (62/77) were male. The average age was 28.8 years (range 8 to 73 years; standard deviation 13.1). Twenty-two per cent of the patients were less than 20 years old. The most common locations of the lacerations were upper extremity (59 lacerations) and scalp (16 lacerations). Thirty-four per cent of the patients (26/77) sustained lacerations to two or more anatomical locations. There were 23 fractures in 21 patients; skull fractures were the most common fractures (11). Of the 63 patients who responded to the question on whether they knew the identity of their assailants, 51 reported that they were attacked by someone known to them; eight were assaulted by a spouse or known family member. Eighty-six per cent of patients (66/77) were treated in the emergency room and discharged. Of the 11 patients admitted, eight required treatment in the operating theatre. The average length of stay was 3.6 days. There were no amputations or deaths. One patient sustained loss of vision in one eye. In Barbados, most victims of cutlass injuries are males who know their assailants and the morbidity is most often related to head injuries and to short-term physical disability due especially to lacerations of the hand and forearm.

    Abstract Existing literature on eugenics only touches briefly upon the role played by women. This article sets out to examine the reason for the high participation of women in the British eugenics movement by focusing on the role of three individuals in the early part of the twentieth century. It concludes that an important objective of women in eugenics was the 'feminization' of its social agenda.

    Abstract A serological survey of goats in St Elizabeth Parish, Jamaica, comprising the breeding herd at the Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC) facility at Hounslow, five commercial herds and 21 family herds was carried out in 1985-1986. The Leptospira microscopic agglutination test indicated that one or more serovars in the Canicola serogroup were the most prevalent. Repeated samplings of goats at ADC, Hounslow demonstrated an increase in portlandvere and canicola seropositive animals following the onset of warmer weather and of icterohaemorrhagiae seropositive animals following the autumn rains and cooler weather. Apart from a cluster of family goats seropositive to pomona there was no geographical separation of reactors to the other serovars tested in the parish.

    Abstract Among the early influences on the profession of occupational therapy were the founding schools and those who helped create them. The Midwest was energized by Elizabeth Upham Davis, who was instrumental in establishing the occupational therapy education program at Milwaukee-Downer College in 1918. This paper relates Mrs. Davis's efforts on behalf of occupational therapy both in the development of the program at Milwaukee-Downer and on a national level during the early years of the profession.
