An RNA-dependent DNA polymerase, different from the known viral reverse transcriptases, in the chicken system.

The properties of an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase (an RNA-dependent DNA nucleotidyltransferase), which occurs ubiquitously in the allantoic fluid of uninfected, leukosis-virus-free eggs, are described. It is shown that the enzyme can synthesize faithful transcripts from natural RNA (globin mRNA). By biochemical and immunological methods, the enzyme can be clearly distinguished from the reverse transcriptases of the known chicken RNA tumor viruses and therefore seems to be a member of a so far unknown class of chicken polymerases.

[Convergence insufficiency and school difficulties (author's transl)].

124 lowgrade hypermetropic pupils aged from 6 to 9 years, with normal I.Q. showed exophoria for near vision combined with weakness of convergence and school difficulties in several disciplines. These were treated as follows: training of the physiological diplopy, training of convergence, and surgical treatment by unilateral or bilateral resection of the medial rectus (the last-mentioned method has been applied on failure of so-called "ophthalmologic home-work"). Results were satisfactory in only 19%. The subjective primary complaints, similar to asthenopy, disappeared within a few weeks (65%). The effect of ophthalmological treatment was examined by the school psychological service as to acceleration in learning. Supported by comparisable objective effects (reading- and writing tests) with 50 control persons an improvement of concentration and motivation (77% and 62%), of reading capacity (44%) and of writing capacity (42%) was obtained within a space of 6 weeks to four months. Without taking up a too great percentage of the available school time, more attention should be paid in the elementary school age to a more accurate examination of the eyes, in order to detect even minor defects.

[Mental changes during continuous epileptic discharges].

In cases of psychic changes with continuously repeated spikes and/or sharp waves in the EEG the following diagnoses were made: 1. Absence status (1 status of complex absences with a rotatory motion of the head; 1 combination of continuous and discontinuous absence status). 2. Atypical and prolonged twilight states after tonic-clonic fits (2 absence status; 2 twilight states with continuously repeated sharp waves with focal accentuation). 3. Socalled "Minor epileptic status" (Brett, 1966) (2 cases). 4. Behaviour disturbances (1 abortive absence status; 2 cases with psychic changes and continuously repeated multifocal and secondary generalized sharp waves). In the view of therapy it is necessary to differentiate between postictal twilight states with or without sharp waves in the EEG. The term 'Minor epileptic status' contains several different epileptic conditions, especially Petit mal status in cases of West- or Lennox-Gastaut-syndromes. A detailed description of the individual clinical picture seems to be more informatives than the subsumption under the global term of 'Minor epileptic status'. - The kind of connection between the psychic disturbances and the EEG-discharges is discussed.
