Simple Screening

Pulmonary vascular disease is a risk factor for the surgical management of common arterial trunk. Surgical repair, therefore, is usually performed in early infancy, before irreversible changes can occur in the epulmonary vasculature. Because of this, there has been an increasing tendency to dispense with cardiac catheterisation as a means of assessing pulmonary vascular disease. Cardiac catheterisation, nonetheless, is still performed when there is a risk of pulmonary vascular disease, such as in older children. There are no clear guidelines, however, as to who should be catheterised. We have developed a simple screening test to help make this decision.

Simple Screening

A simple screening test was proposed in order to test coarse aggregates for their potential to cause damage when used in concrete due to the oxidation of sulphide phases. The test involves submerging an aggregate sample in an oxidizing agent and measuring the mass loss. Samples with no known oxidizable sulphides showed a mass loss of <1.0% after one week of testing at room temperature. Samples of oxidizable sulphides showed a mass loss higher than 3.5% and changes in the colour of the test solution. It is proposed that aggregates which achieve a mass loss of less than 0.50% and no colour change in the test solution be accepted.

Simple Screening

A simple patch test, designed as a screening test for cystic fibrosis of the pancreas, is reported in preliminary form. In trials carried out with 207 patients it has proved accurate and reliable. A brief resume of the physiology of sweating, especially as pertinent to diagnostic methods in pediatrics, is also presented. Studies are in progress aiming toward further refinement of this method.

Urine Specimens

Histidinemia, a childhood disease associated with mental retardation, can be identified by the presence of histidinuria. A rapid and simple screening test for histidinuria has been developed by the authors and is based on the inhibition by histidine of the blue color formed by the reaction of cupric ion and bis-cyclohexanone oxaldihydra-zone. The formation of a colorless solution in this test should identify all urine specimens in which the concentration of histidine is greater than 60 mg/l00 ml and most specimens in which the concentration of histidine is greater than 20 mg/100 ml. By appropriate dilution of a urine sample, the screening test may be used to estimate, semi-quantitatively, the concentration of histidine in urine.

Abstract A simple screening test, sensitive to o-dihydroxyphenyl groups in the urine, was developed for use in monitoring patients with Parkinson's disease who are treated with L-dopa. Compounds measured by this test include dopa, dopamine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. Parallel quantitative experiments, in which ion-exchange chromatography was used, followed by fluorometry and colorimetry, establish the validity of the strip-test results. The test is designed to be used by physician or patient, as well as by clinical laboratory personnel.
