A teaching file, using 10 X 10 cm format copies.

A teaching file is of paramount importance for a teaching department. It should be easily accessible and readily available. Considerations of costs and available space influence the choice of film size for the copies. We have chosen for 10 X 10 cm copies, because the majority can be viewed by individuals on normal lightboxes, while for larger audiences various ways of projection are feasible. The possibility, offered by the Delcomat copying apparatus, of making copies of interesting parts of the original film in varying degrees of reduction in size, enhances the practicability of the method.

Limited value of acyclovir in the treatment of uncomplicated herpes zoster: a placebo-controlled study.

The effect of intravenous acyclovir (at a dosage of 30 mg/kg per day for five days) on uncomplicated herpes zoster was investigated in 51 patients in a double-blind study. Although existing herpes zoster lesions tended to heal more rapidly and new lesions ceased to appear somewhat earlier in the acyclovir group, these differences were not statistically significant. During treatment, patients on acyclovir had significantly lower pain scores than placebo-treated patients. At follow-up, however, there was no difference between the two groups. Complications of herpes zoster occurred only in the placebo groups (generalization in two and keratitis in two cases). With the possible exception of trigeminal zoster or severe pain, acyclovir seems to offer little benefit for immunocompetent patients with herpes zoster.
