Oligonucleotide probes to identify three sibling species of the Anopheles farauti Laveran complex (Diptera: Culicidae).

We have sequenced recombinant plasmid probes for each of 3 Anopheles farauti complex species and identified internal oligonucleotides of 25-26 base pairs, specific for each member of the complex. Synthetic oligonucleotides oAf1, oAf2 and oAf3, when radiolabelled and hybridized with deoxyribonucleic acid from An. farauti, reacted as highly specific probes for An. farauti numbers 1, 2 and 3 respectively. These probes are effective on air-dried or alcohol-preserved larval, pupal or adult specimens.

Secondary acute angle closure glaucoma: a complication of AIDS.

A 58-year-old man with advanced AIDS presented to the emergency department complaining of headache and decreased vision bilaterally. On evaluation, he was found to have intraocular pressures of 69 and 65 mm Hg. After topical treatment with miotics and apraclonidine, he was given intravenous acetazolamide (Diamox) and peripheral iridotomy was performed. The pressures did not improve significantly. Secondary acute angle closure glaucoma was diagnosed. Emergency physicians should consider this diagnosis when evaluating AIDS patients with visual complaints.

Clinical cheating and moral development.

Clinical cheating is one of the most devastating ways students can breach moral principles, and its prevention should be a priority for nurse educators. Educators can promote the professional integrity of students by integrating moral development into all curricular efforts.
