Improved measurement of the lifetime of the τ lepton
A new measurement of the τ lifetime is presented. It uses data collected with the Opal detector during 1994, which almost doubles the size of the Opal τ sample. Two statistically independent techniques are used: an impact parameter analysis of one-prong decay tracks and a fit to the decay length distribution of three-prong decays. The lifetime obtained from the 1994 data by combining the results of these methods is τ(τ) = 289.7 ± 2.5 (stat)± 1.5 (sys) fs. When combined with the previous Opal τ lifetime measurement the improved τ lifetime is τ(τ) = 289.2 ± 1.7 (stat.) ± 1.2 (sys.) fs
Trigger finger: etiology, evaluation, and treatment
Trigger finger is a common finger aliment, thought to be caused by inflammation and subsequent narrowing of the A1 pulley, which causes pain, clicking, catching, and loss of motion of the affected finger. Although it can occur in anyone, it is seen more frequently in the diabetic population and in women, typically in the fifth to sixth decade of life. The diagnosis is usually fairly straightforward, as most patients complain of clicking or locking of the finger, but other pathological processes such as fracture, tumor, or other traumatic soft tissue injuries must be excluded. Treatment modalities, including splinting, corticosteroid injection, or surgical release, are very effective and are tailored to the severity and duration of symptoms

Δ^(++) production in hadronic Z^0 decays
The production of Δ^(++) baryons has been measured using 3.5 million hadronic Z^0 decays collected with the OPAL detector at LEP. The production rate and fragmentation function are presented. A total of per hadronic Z^0 decay is observed. The fragmentation function is found to be softer than that predicted by the JETSET and HERWIG Monte Carlo event generators. With this measurement of Δ^(++) production, at least one baryon of each strangeness level in the lightest baryon decuplet has now been measured at LEP
