Immunofluorescence of the skin in gold rashes - with particular reference to IgE.

Immunofluorescence studies have been carried out on rashes from 36 patients with rheumatoid arthritis receiving gold therapy. 24 of the rashes were clinically attributed to gold and 12 were diagnosed as coincidental rashes. IgE was found in 6 of the gold rashes and in 4 of the coincidental rashes. Immunofluorescence changes of immune complex vasculitis, lichen planus, or pemphigoid were found in 9 gold rashes while 2 coincidental rashes showed vascular fluorescence for immunoglobulins but nor for complement. Two definite gold rashes showing no changes on immunofluorescence showed perivascular infiltration with lymphocytes on light microscopy. Thus, while immunofluorescence is only marginally helpful in the diagnoses of gold rashes, evidence of an immunological reaction tends to favour a diagnosis of a gold-induced rash.

Physics at Brunel

Brunel opened as a regional college in September 1957 and many of the original staff transferred from Acton Technical College. In April 1962 it became a College of Advanced Technology and, following the recommendations of the Robbins Committee, an Academic Advisory Committee was appointed and on 6th July 1966 the College received its Charter as Brunei University. The University activities at present are undertaken on the Acton site but building is proceeding rapidly on a 200 acre site at Uxbridge and the first departments to move to Uxbridge will be working there by the Spring of 1967.
