Abstract
BACKGROUND Social functioning (SF) difficulties are ubiquitous among individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR), but it is not yet clear why. One possibility is suggested by the observation that effective SF requires adaptive emotion awareness and regulation. Previous reports have documented deficits in emotion awareness and regulation in individuals with schizophrenia, and have shown that such deficits predicted SF. However, it is unknown whether these deficits are present prior to the onset of psychosis or whether they are linked to SF in CHR individuals. METHOD We conducted a cross-sectional comparison of emotion awareness and regulation in 54 individuals at CHR, 87 with schizophrenia and 50 healthy controls (HC). Then, within the CHR group, we examined links between emotion awareness, emotion regulation and SF as indexed by the Global Functioning Scale: Social (Cornblatt et al. 2007). RESULTS Group comparisons indicated significant differences between HC and the two clinical groups in their ability to identify and describe feelings, as well as the use of suppression and reappraisal emotion-regulation strategies. Specifically, the CHR and schizophrenia groups displayed comparable deficits in all domains of emotion awareness and emotion regulation. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated that difficulties describing feelings accounted for 23.2% of the SF variance. CONCLUSIONS The results indicate that CHR individuals display substantial emotion awareness and emotion-regulation deficits, at severity comparable with those observed in individuals with schizophrenia. Such deficits, in particular difficulties describing feelings, predate the onset of psychosis and contribute significantly to poor SF in this population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The long head of biceps tendon (LHB) score was designed to clinically assess LHB pathologies. Purpose of this study was to prospectively assess patients with LHB pathologies preoperatively and after LHB surgery using the LHB score. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-seven patients (29 f/28 m, Ø age 61.0 years), showing clinical signs of LHB pathologies, were prospectively included into this study. In 43 patients LHB pathologies could be confirmed intraoperatively. Among these, in 26 patients a biceps tenodesis (group I; 8 f/18 m, Ø age 61.2 years), and in 17 patients a biceps tenotomy was performed (group II; 12 f/5 m, Ø age 64.2 years). In 14 patients no intraoperative correlate concerning the biceps symptoms could be found (group III; 9 f/5m, Ø age 56.8 years). In these patients no further LHB treatment was carried out. The clinical evaluation contained the Constant score (CS) as well as the LHB score preoperatively and 2 years postoperatively. RESULTS The CS improved significantly in all the three groups [group I: 41.7 (20-70) to 81.3 (62-100); group II: 42.2 (18-66) to 75.3 (41-84); group III: 45.7 (22-77) to 72.9 (48-85)] (p < 0.05). Also the LHB score increased significantly in all three groups [group I: 74.3 (41-97) to 94.2 (80-100); group II: 73.4 (57-97) to 84.2 (49-100); group III: 71.1 (58-80) to 90.8 (70-100)] (p < 0.05). Compared to group II, group I showed significant better results in the total LHB score and in the cosmetic result (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS We recommend that patients with LHB pathologies are evaluated using the LHB score, since it provides LHB related information and is a proper tool to assess the clinical outcome after surgery. However, the score is not appropriate to detect LHB pathologies preoperatively. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II.

Abstract
This study describes the changes in chymopapain-specific IgE antibody levels in patients following chemonucleolysis with Chymodiactin. Using the ChymoFAST method, chymopapain-specific IgE values were studied in 91 patients prior to and for 2 months post-Chymodiactin chemonucleolysis. A total of 8.8% (17/91) developed IgE levels greater than or equal to 0.06 IU/ml. Those patients with detectable IgE levels prior to chemonucleolysis were more likely than those with nondetectable preinjection levels (36.4% versus 4%) to develop chymopapain-specific IgE levels greater than or equal to 0.06 IU/ml.

Abstract
A fluorescence enzyme immunoassay (ChymoFAST test) for the quantitation of chymopapain-specific IgE antibody concentration in human serum is described. The IgE antibody is recognized as the major immunologic mediator for anaphylactic reactions. Serum chymopapain-specific IgE levels serve as an objective screening method for identifying patients most likely to tolerate chymopapain, thereby minimizing associated risks. Preoperative sera obtained from 11,658 chemonucleolysis candidates were tested, of which 0.94% (110/11,658) were found to be positive. Good predictive values for both positive and negative findings are evident based on 4776 postmarketing surveillances obtained from the surgeons.

Abstract
Kell null red blood cell samples can be prepared using 2-aminoethylisothiouronium bromide (AET). This article describes a modification whereby only three drops of a 5% red blood cell suspension may be AET treated. This procedure has been used routinely in the authors' laboratory for more than a year. One patient's serum contained anti-Kpb plus anti-C and anti-D. Tests with panel cells pretreated with AET made it possible to identify underlying Rh antibodies without using a panel of genetic Kpb negative red blood cells. Of 24 red blood cell eluates from patient sample with warm autoantibodies, one had specificity within the Kell blood group system. This small volume AET-treatment method is a quick screen for the differentiation of a Kell-related specificity from a non-Kell specificity of both warm autoantibodies and alloantibodies to high-incidence antigens.
