  • Technique in electronystagmography

  • Pitfalls in the interpretation of electronystagmographic traces may be avoided by the reduction of artefacts in recording. These artefacts are often the result of poor physical conditions and lack of patient cooperation during recording. This paper examines technique in the clinical practice of eletronystagmography and suggests methods of minimising some of these recording artefacts.

  • The radioallergosorbent test (RAST) in nasal polyposis

  • Summary

    The incidence of atopy among 64 adults undergoing polypectomy was 25 per cent. Among these atopic patients it was usual for the polyp IgE level to exceed that in the serum. Similarly, D. pteronyssinus-specific IgE was more commonly identified in polyp fluid by the RAST technique than in serum. However, this was not so for grass poolen-specific IgE, where serum and polyp fluid were equally positive. We conclude that there are atopic and non-atopic polyps.
