Intermittent pressure cuffing for oedematous digits.

A double-walled rubber cylinder, made of cheap, readily available materials, is described. This device enables intermittent positive pressure to be applied to individual fingers during the course of management of post-surgical or post-traumatic finger oedema. It has a number of advantages over the standard total hand splint currently used.

The ability of smooth and rough strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae to activate human complement by the alternative pathway.

Three capsulate pneumococcal strains of serotypes 1, 2 ans 3, and one non-capsulate strain of serotype 47, were found to activate human complement by the alternative pathway to a similar extent over the concentration range examined. Nevertheless, the capsulate strains, in contrast to the non-capsulate, are known to require complement attachment for phagocytosis and it is therefore postulated that the toxic by-products released cause the wave of oedema characteristic of pneumococcal lobar pneumonia.
