The sagittal sinus in the man, dog, cat and rabbit was studied; we have noted remarkable histological differences within the zoological succession in the system of discharge of the cerebrospinal fluid in the venous system. The differences, probably, are chargeable to the different metabolic encephalic exigences which in the man are exalted and which justify the presence of the more complicated structures.

The Authors, taking Andry's hypothesis about the pathogenetic role of the deprivation of father-image during infancy in structuring an inadequate, too rigid or incoherent Super-Ego, assume that could be a possible factor in explaining the social misadaptation of adolescents with prolonged experiences of institutionalisation. The test group, consisted of 163 adolescents and pre-adolescents released from three state institutions in Modena, in the period 1966-1973, it seems to confirm, through the indexes of the socialisation in the family, scholastic and work groups after releases from the institutions, as well as through those of social misadaptation and antisociality, the Author's hypothesis interpreting the social misadaptation as one of the manifestations of the difficulties encountered by adolescents in the adaptation process. These difficulties depend a great deal on a surplus of pathological defenses arising from retarding of the consolidation of the Ego and from developing a negative Ego-Ideal. The deprivation of valid parental images for introjective identifications during latency or adolescence seems a very important factor in influencing these structures of personality.
This paper presents preliminary results on the effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields (EMF) in the therapy of post menopausal osteoporosis induced by ovariectomy in female rats aged ten months. In particular, the effects of the intensity of pulsed EMF applied at constant frequency has been studied. Magnetic fields pulsed at 50 Hz were used having a positive sinusoidal wave form with a maximum intensity of 30 and 70 Gauss. Treatment lasting one hour per day for 4 months showed that the pulsed EMF with 30 Gauss of maximum intensity are able to slow down the bone mass loss, keeping it within some 10%; with pulsed EMF with 70 Gauss of maximum intensity, instead, no significant bone mass loss was observed.
