Caffeine Content of Tea and Coffee

The caffeine content of teas and coffees blended and marketed in South Africa was estimated. Samples of tea contain caffeine varying from 2,723% to 4,1%. Coffee 'mixtures' contain 1,23 - 1,66%, freshly ground roast coffee beans 0,8 - 1,8% and one 'instant coffee' 'made from 100% coffee', 4,38%'S. Afr. Med. J., 48, 510 (1974

The stuff of history

Catalogue of an exhibition held at the Plimsoll Gallery, Centre for the Arts, Hobart from 15th August to 5th September 2008. This is the third in a series of satellite exhibitions that the Plimsoll Gallery has been mounting alongside a series of solo survey exhibitions at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery. It relates the work of Anne Ferran, who is the subject of the TMAG survey exhibition in December 2008, to that of a number of other artists who employ various visual strategies to comment upon historical events and material from colonial times

Hypernatremia: Complication of Renal Homotransplantation

Hypernatremia was observed in five recipients of renal homografts during the first postoperative week. The peak serum levels of sodium varied between 152 and 158 mEq/liter. The postoperative diuresis was associated with sodium concentration in the urine, consistently lower than that in the extracellular water; moderate urinary hypertonicity, with urea being the main urinary solute; and urea excretion exceeding 60% of its filtered load in most instances. The inability of elaborate urine with sodium concentration equal or higher than that in the serum, possibly related to osmotic diuresis and/or altered renal hemodynamics, appears to be the primary cause responsible for the development of hypernatremia in these patients. © 1971, American Medical Association.

Chronic renal homograft function. Correlation with histology and lymphocyte antigen matching

Renal function was studied in twenty-nine of thirty-four surviving renal allograft recipients from an initial group of sixty-four patients two years after transplantation. Mean clearances of inulin and PAH were, respectively, greater than and equal to half the donors' initial predicted clearances. Minimum urine osmolality during water diuresis was greater, and maximum urine osmolality during hydropenia was less than normal, an effect attributable partly to enhanced solute load in a single transplanted kidney. Patients with compatible donor-recipient lymphocyte antigens demonstrated statistically better function than those with one or more incompatibilities, although there was a definite degree of overlap between the two groups. In contrast, little correlation could be demonstrated between the cumulative histopathology and renal clearances. Renal function in patients with compatible donors was statistically greater than half the donors' initial predicted function. Serial increase in renal clearances was documented in one patient with a compatible donor. Serial decreases were demonstrated in two patients with incompatible donors. These findings suggest that hypertrophy of the denervated, transplanted kidney occurs when immune reaction is minimal. © 1967
