The I' potential of the brain-stem auditory-evoked potential.

We have consistently recorded a positive wave which precedes wave I, and is called I', within the human brain-stem auditory-evoked potential. It is postulated that I' represents initial neural activity of the auditory nerve, which presumably has as its origin auditory nerve dendrites. Thus, I' may represent a summed far-field dendritic potential from currents of excitatory postsynaptic potentials. We report latency and amplitude values of I'.

Cone biopsy: a review of 112 cases.

A chart review of 112 patients who underwent cold knife conisation was performed. Records showed that 73.5% of the patients smoked cigarettes and 26.5% were using oral contraception. In 85.7% of cases pre-operative cytology/colposcopy findings were within one grade of the cone histology. The majority of lesions were CIN III (59.9%). Only 4.5% were normal. Human papilloma virus infection was detected histologically in 26.8% of patients. Pre-operative punch biopsy was undertaken in only five cases. Post-operative haemorrhage (9.0%) and genito-urinary infection (9.0%) were the main complications seen. The incidence of residual disease and post-cone hysterectomy was significantly higher if the margins of resection of the cone were unclear. Large-loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ) has now replaced cold knife conisation in both study centres due to its lower morbidity and reduced demand on hospital resources.

Effects of alternative street school on youth involved in prostitution.

Prostitution-involved adolescents self assigned into one of three groups: school attenders (of alternative street school), unable to attend, and school refusers. Data were collected at intake and 50 days after intake for the following measures: Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Quality of School Life Scale, and self-reported weekly prostitution events. School attenders improved significantly on all measures, showing less depression, improved school sentiment, improved self-esteem, and reduced prostitution activity after less than 2 months of street school. Except for self-esteem, no significant changes on these dependent variables were observed for either of the other school groups.

Scalp distribution of early (0 to 10 msec) auditory evoked responses.

Auditory nerve and brain stem evoked responses were summated from multiple scalp and earlobe electrodes from five subjects with normal hearing to determine the spatial voltage relationships along the coronal and/or sagital planes that make up the electrode array. All recordings maintained their positive polarity, and polarity inversions were not observed at any cephalic sites; thus, a null potential line was not identified for these short-latency potentials at the scalp. Less distinct potentials were derived from the earlobes when referenced to the chin. Linked earlobes generated some potentials of negative polarity. These observations lend additional support to the concept that early auditory scalp potentials are most likely generated from far field neural aggregates located caudally to the auditory cortex.
