A study of tinea capitis was carried out during October 1998, involving 8531 school children aged 6-14 years (4718 males and 3813 females), attending 12 primary schools located in urban, rural, and refugee camp communities in the Nablus district in the Palestinian Authority. A total of approximately 1389 of the school children aged 6-12 years (724 males and 665 females) were also surveyed on three occasions at 2-3 month intervals, over a 9-month period (October 1998-May 1999) using the hair brush technique, for prevalence of asymptomatic tinea capitis carriage. Twenty-three(0.27%) mycologically proven cases of tinea capitis were detected.

The upside-down swimming catfish (Synodontis nigriventris) has unique behavior, i.e., it frequently shows a stable upside-down posture during swimming and resting. To examine whether the unique postural control in S. nigriventris results from the characteristics of the vestibular organ, we observed the morphological aspects of the otolith and the orientation of sensory hair cells in the utricle. Soft X-ray densitometry analysis showed that the transmittance of soft X-rays in the otolith of S. nigriventris was higher than that in a closely related species (Synodontis multipunctatus) belonging to Synodontis family, goldfish (Carassius auratus) or miniature catfish (Corydoras paleatus) which shows upside-up swimming. The higher transmittance of soft X-rays suggests that the density of the otolith in S. nigriventris is lower than that in S. multipunctatus, C. auratus or C. paleatus. It is possible that the low density of the otolith may have a relation to the control of the unique upside-down posture of S. nigriventris. The hair cells in S. nigriventris were present at the ventral to ventro-lateral site of the utricular epithelium, forming a single hair cell layer as in the other 3 species of fish. The orientation of the sensory hair cells does not appear to cause the unique postural control.

Neonatal Anti-NGF Treatment Reduces the Adelta- and C-Fibre Evoked Vasodilator Responses in Rat Skin: Evidence That Nociceptor Afferents Mediate Antidromic Vasodilatation.

Electrical stimulation of cutaneous nerve Adelta-fibres can lead to increases in skin blood flow (Janig and Lisney, J. Physiol. (Lond.), 415, 477 - 486, 1989). Here we have examined this phenomenon in adult rats treated neonatally with antisera to nerve growth factor between postnatal days 2 and 14. This treatment forces many Adelta nociceptor afferents to take on the phenotype of low-threshold D-hair afferents (Lewin et al., J. Neurosci., 12, 1896 - 1905, 1992). In animals treated this way we found a parallel decrease in the ability of Adelta-fibres to increase skin blood flow. The increase in blood flow evoked by C-fibre stimulation was also reduced, but no change was seen in the ability of C-fibres to elicit neurogenic extravasation in skin. These data may be taken as evidence that in rats, amongst the cutaneous Adelta-fibres, nociceptor but not D-hair afferents are capable of producing blood flow changes in the skin.
