Fluid space in bone.

This paper reviews the extraction of solutes through capillaries in bone, by means of outflow dilution techniques in the canine tibia. Solutes leave capillaries in bone by passive diffusion dependent on molecular size. The fluid space in bone is also examined by means of analyzing washout curves of radioactive substances. It is proposed that there are 4 definable compartments in bone; a vascular space, a perivascular fluid space a bone fluid space and a bone space. The relevance of these spaces is in bone mineral short and long term ion exchange activity.

Tuberculosis incidence in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland--a collaborative study.

We examined the incidence of tuberculosis in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland for 1991 using the Census of Population for both jurisdictions, data from a National Survey of Tuberculosis for 1991 for the Republic and examination of nominal notification data for Northern Ireland. We showed that there is a significantly higher incidence of TB in the Republic of Ireland. More cases were reported (p < 1.0 x 10(-7)) as were more bacteriologically proven cases (p < 1.0 x 10(-7)). The difference was true for each of the following age groups (< 15 years, 15-35 years, 35-54 years and > 55 years) but it is noteworthy that areas in the Republic which make use of neonatal BCG vaccine did not have a significantly different rate of tuberculosis for individuals less than 15 years (p = 0.34) compared to Northern Ireland.
