A new method for the accurate localization of 239Pu in bone.

A new method for the localization of 239Pu in bone is described. The method, which is based on semi-automatic digitization of neutron induced autoradiographs, allows the 239Pu to be localized with respect to bone surfaces with an accuracy of +/- 2 micron. Results are presented for the distribution of 239Pu in the central lumbar vertebrae of female CBA mice at 24 h post-injection.

Diarrhoea in kwashiorkor.

Diarrhoea was a common problem in the kwashiorkor seen in Kampala, contributing to the mortality and delay in recovery. Enteric infection was found in only a few children (8%), but when present it caused particularly severe diarrhoea and was frequently complicated by septicaemia.Sugar intolerance often occurred to lactose and other sugars, both monosaccharide and disaccharide. The children were most commonly intolerant of lactose, and some of these may have had a hereditary lactase deficiency.Antibiotics are rarely indicated for the treatment of diarrhoea in kwashiorkor in Kampala. If reducing substances are found in the stool of a child on a milk diet, a diet based on sucrose is substituted, and if intolerance persists a fructose diet is given. A few children are intolerant of all sugars, including fructose, and for these the prognosis is grave.
