A search for interstellar H3O+.

The P (2,1) line of H3O+, the hydroxonium ion, a key species in ion-molecule chemistry, has been sought in the interstellar medium and in Halley's Comet. In OMC1 and SgrB2, a line was detected which may possibly be attributed to H3O+. Verification of this identification must be accomplished through observation of the P(3,2) line at 364 GHz, or detection of isotopic variants. If we were to assume that the detected line arises from H3O+, we can deduce a fractional abundance X(H3O+) in OMC1 and SgrB2 of approximately 10(-9) and a production rate in Comet Halley of Q(H3O+) 10(28)s-1. These results would place H3O+ among the more abundant molecular ions in the interstellar gas in agreement with theoretical predictions.

[Amputation stump pain: a therapeutic study (author's transl)].

A study has been done in a Thermal Army Hospital, concerning the suffering of amputed persons and their treatment by "tiapride". For 20 observations, it has been noted 11 excellent and 6 good results, by a mean treatment of 300 mg. Interesting results are particularly observed at the first appearance of the soreness, a better integration of this one has been proved, it has also been noticed that amputed patients tolerate much better their prosthesis.
