[The Gioconda from the historical and medical perspective (hypotheses of pathology in her painting)].

As a preamble, some historical and biographical brushtrokes of the Gioconda, Leonardo and his painting will be outlined. Following these observations, a series of medical interpretations will be put forth regarding his painting with the aim of analysing possible pathologies related to: the skin, hair, eyes, hands and the reproductive and endocrine systems. We will conclude by observing the famous work The Smile and by extracting a hypothesis on pathologies of various natures such as: neurological, muscular, hypoacusic, asthmatic, psychoneurotic, psychiatric, ethylic, sexual, stress-related, stomatological (bruxismo) and the driving force that lies behind setting off the Stendhal Syndrome: a psychosomatic disorder known to be due to the human being's susceptibility to saturation from having received impressions of great artistic beauty.

[Comparative chromosome painting].

The review of the data on comparative chromosomal painting in mammals is presented. The development of new molecular-cytogenetic methods has resulted in the accumulation of the detailed information on homology of chromosomal segments of more than 50 species from 11 orders. In this review, modern methods of obtaining painting probes are considered in detail, and the basic tendencies of karyotype evolution in different taxa are discussed. Putative karyotypes of the ancestors of primates, carnivores, and placental mammals are considered.

[The simultaneous contrast of the colors in Van Gogh paints].

Vincent Van Gogh, Dutchman painter, is a forerunner but also a spokesman of the expressionism. His life was short and sad, marked by a psychic instability. In his paintings the color is subordinated of some subjective motivations. Van Gogh uses complementary colors to get a maximum intensity of the overlapped tones. The chromatic increase serves to obtain some strong emotions. In his landscapes the special distances are suggested through tonal distances. The increase of the pure tones through complementary contrast, the cancel of the imitation colors through sensation-colors, the explosive chromatic are characteristic of her painting. In his singular creation, Vincent Van Gogh created his suffering ego.

[The eye in Ion Tuculescu's paintings].

The painter Ion Tuculescu was placed through his painting, in the current of the abstract expressionism. He endowed his pictural skill with a personal vision of life and people, through introduction the eye like a stylized aspect and its loading with spiritual meanings. The eye is practically in every picture of the painter, constituting a philosophy of his interior experiences and attitude given the existence. The subject painting has not figurative plans but mental impulses through the artist constitutes a new visual language.

Artistic expression in spontaneous paintings of depressed patients.

A false belief exists that depressed patients are not creative. On the contrary, they have an urge to create--the creative spells are equivalent to the depression. They express themselves more easily through painting than through speech. They express their repressed feelings and ideas of sin and affect, suicidal tendency, etc., and in some cases, the spontaneous paintings have prophetic meaning. It is much easier for them to express their feelings through universal signs and symbols such as: face, posture; church, tower, bell, cross; coffin, tomb, cemetery, grave; skeleton, skull, bones; tree, mountain, boat, chair.

Can children's paintings of their doctors be interpreted?

There is increased emphasis nowadays on the role of the general practitioner in preventive care for children. Accordingly, an analysis of the child's perception of the doctor and of the factors which influence and mould that perception are important. In New Zealand children's paintings have been used for such analyses. The present study looked at children's paintings of their family doctors in a Devonshire village. The findings show that boys are more likely than girls to depict their doctors as a gruesome or threatening character, and suggest that medical contact has little, if any, influence on character portrayal of doctors. Other factors that might influence character portrayal and are now thought worthy of detailed study, include television viewing patterns, personality, age, home background and artistic ability.

[Cytochemical and immunological examinations of workers exposed to the effects of organic solvents of paints and varnishes. I. Activity of beta-glucuronidase and N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase. Glycogen content in lymphocytes].

In workers, aged 26--55, occupationally exposed for 80--118 months to organic solvents of paints and varnishes containing benzene, toluene and xylene, beta-glucuronidase (GR) and N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (GZ activities were determined and glycogen content in peripheral blood lymphocytes was evaluated. In addition to lymphocytopenia, the number of lymphocytes with cytoplasmic localization of GR and GZ and a decrease in glycogen content in those cells were found. The authors suppose these changes are due to toxic effects of aromatic hydrocarbons, present in organic solvents of paints and varnishes, upon lymphocytes.

[Identification, using x-diffractometry, of chromium, lead and zinc compounds in pigments of protective paints].

The application of diffractometric techniques for the identification of crystalline compounds which are contained in paint pigments and are important from the hygienic point of view, is described. Particularly, it is possible to identify lead and zinc chromates either on untreated pigments, or on filters of air samples of work-places used for spray painting.

[Cytochemical and immunological studies in workers exposed to organic solvents of paints and varnishes. II. Metabolism of the neutrophils].

In 39 workers, aged 24--56, occupationally exposed to organic solvents of paints and varnishes containing benzene, toluene and xylene, for 55--122 months, activity of peroxydase (Pox) and acid phosphatases (AcP) was determined. In addition, NBT test was carried out in peripheral blood neutrophils. Both AcP activity and spontaneous and stimulated NBT reduction were found to be increased. The authors believe that in people an insignificant exposure to organic solvents of paints and varnishes stimulates neutrophils metabolism.

Copper storage in the liver of the wild mute swan (Cygnus olor). Its possible relation to pollution of harbor waters by antifouling paints.

Postmortem examination of three wild mute swans (Cygnus olor) from a harbor area disclosed an unusual black discoloration of the liver. Chemical, histochemical, and microscopic studies, along with electron-probe microanalysis, showed that cytoplasmic pigment granules in the liver cells contained a copper-protein complex. Similar findings have been reported in Danish and English studies on large numbers of wild mute swans. Two control mute swans from The Bronx Zoo had negligible amounts of hepatic copper. The striking difference between the wild and the captive swans in hepatic copper content suggests that the copper in the wild swans was of environmental origin, most likely from copper-rich antifouling paint used extensively in the marine industry. Flakes of this paint may be ingested by swans searching for food in the sediment of harbor waters.

Residents Council provides paint, provokes interaction.

The Residents Council of the Villa Maria Geriatric Center, Tucson, organized and carried out three mural-painting projects. The painting tasks actively involved many of the nursing home's residents and provided an interesting topic of conversation for others. Villa Maria staff consider the projects one example of how a residents council can truly function to improve the quality of residents' lives.

Cancer mortality among workers exposed to zinc chromate paints.

To evaluate the carcinogenicity of chromium compounds among user industries, the proportionate mortality experience of spray painters exposed to zinc chromate primer paints and electroplaters exposed to chromic acid in the aircraft maintenance industry was examined. Compared to the mortality patterns of U.S. white males, no excess of cancer was found in the 48 deaths among electroplaters. Analysis of the 202 deaths among spray painters revealed a significant excess of cancer, primarily of the respiratory tract. The relative increase of respiratory cancer showed a positive gradient with the length of estimated exposure time, and was confined to painters whose interval from first employment to death was at least 20 years. The findings consistent with occupational exposure to chromium compounds, previously shown to be carcinogenic in manufacturing processes, but the effect of other paint constituents, tobacco smoking, or methodologic limitations could not be discounted.

[The danger of the game called "paint ball"].

Severe ocular injuries may occur during a new war game in France, called "paint ball". A high pressure carbon dioxide powered gun fires pellets filled with dye. The pellet is coated with a semisoft gelatin and filled with a "nontoxic" dye mixture. We observed six consecutive cases during a ten month-period. In two cases (both due to a shot at point-blank range), mature cataract occurred. Consequently, lensectomy was achieved, preceded by a prophylactic scleral buckle. In one case, a retinal detachment due to a localized retinal necrosis occurred. With endocular surgery and temporary silicone oil tamponade, we achieved retinal reattachment. The three remaining cases did not require surgery. They suffered blunt ocular lesions of the anterior and/or posterior segment. One of these cases showed permanent tattooing to the cornea. After a mean follow-up lasting six months, all patients had, at least, a 40/100 vision. Some recommendations can reduce the incidence and the severity of ocular injuries due to paint balling. Firstly, eyeguards (made of polycarbonate) must be worn before receiving guns and pellets. Secondly, a kind of safety gun stopper can avoid gun firing by accident apart from practices. Thirdly, according to others publications, alcohol or drugs should not be consumed before the game. Lastly, gun fire at point-blank range or toward the head must be forbidden. We hope that wide distribution of such recommendations will help reducing the frequency of this type of ocular traumas.

MR imaging of "spray heads": toluene abuse via aerosol paint inhalation.

PURPOSE: Three male patients with a history of spray-paint inhalation are presented. METHODS: Spin-echo MR was used to evaluate the central nervous system changes secondary to toluene inhalation delivered via spray-paint fumes. RESULTS: The remarkable findings included the loss of cerebral and cerebellar gray-white matter discrimination, scattered multifocal deep white matter lesions, and gross generalized atrophy of the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the corpus callosum. CONCLUSION: Although the observed changes are nonspecific, combined with a positive history the diagnosis of inhalation toluene abuse can be made on the basis of consistent MR findings.

Painting anatomy on anatomy.

Painting anatomical features on a model's skin to delineate internal structures is a medical illustration technique that rarely has been used. Yet it seems to have potential where the scientific point involves muscles, tendons, nerves, blood vessels, bones and other tissues that either produce an external configuration on the body surface or lie directly underneath. These structures can be given clarity and vividness with various paints and pigments that are appropriate and safe for applying to human skin.

Occupational exposure in Polish paint and lacquer industry.

Evaluation of occupational exposure to solvent vapours in the production of paints and lacquers is presented. The measurements were carried out in 5 paint and lacquer producing plants of the varied level of technical and technological advancement. Evaluation of exposure was based on determination of all substances identified in the work environment. Analysis was performed by gas chromatography with MSD and FID. Standard mixtures composed of 40 substances were used for calibration. The determined levels of exposure were directly dependent on technical conditions and modernisation status in factories investigated. Measurements were carried out in the uniform analytical system, which assures comparability of the data from all the factories under study.
