The cereals root eelworm,Heterodera major (O. Schmidt) Franklin,in North Wales

The cereals root eelworm Heterodera major (O. Schmidt) is shown to be locally distributed in North Wales, the most heavily infested centres being in the arable districts of the eastern counties of the province. The most severe attacks occurred on oats where the crop had been grown too frequently; wheat and barley were apparently unaffected at the cyst populations encountered.     

Traumatic pancreatitis

Traumatic pancreatitis should be considered as a diagnostic possibility when trauma to the epigastrium is followed by phenomena suggestive of intra-abdominal injury. The presence or absence of hyperamylasemia should be established immediately. Even when traumatic pancreatitis is believed to exist, any suggestion of injury to other viscera should indicate laparotomy. Retroperitoneal rupture of the duodenum may simulate traumatic pancreatitis in all respects, including hyperamylasemia. X-ray studies may be of value in differentiation.Non-complicated traumatic pancreatitis is best treated conservatively. Gunshot and knife wounds of the pancreas should be drained.
