Effects of aging on sex differences in psychomotor reminiscence and tracking proficiency.

The influence of aging on sex differences in psychomotor reminiscence and practice distribution effects was investigated in young (18 to 22 year) and elderly (57 to 86 year) participants within the context of reactive inhibition theory. As predicted by the theory in conjunction with hormonal considerations, aging eliminated the sex differences typically found in young adults, reduced the absolute amount of reminiscence, and diminished the gains in task proficiency arising from practice distribution, progressively so as practice increased. Significant age effects on task proficiency were detectable even within the age span of the elderly adults.

Continuous subcutaneous pethidine for routine postoperative analgesia.

We consider that the present state of postoperative analgesia is unsatisfactory because drugs are given intermittently and usually only at the patients' request and with nurses' acquiescence. A procedure for routine continuous pethidine infusion, suitable for administration and control by the nursing staff is described. The results of a trial on patients after major surgery are summarised. We believe the procedure to be more efficient and effective than those presently in use.

A miniature Wright peak-flow meter.

A new miniature Wright peak-flow meter has been designed and produced. The meter is tubular with a spring-loaded piston and a longitudinal slot through which air escapes. Its dynamic characteristics have been carefully designed to make it respond only to peak flow and not to rate of rise. Performance tests on early instruments showed fairly close correlation with the Wright peak-flow meter but with a constant error of + 38 1/min. On later models the correlation was increased to 0.990 and the error reduced to + 3%. The mini-meter correlates as well with the standard instrument as two standard instruments correlate with each other and should prove useful clinically.
