    Notes: Abstract Hydrogenetic ferromanganese crusts reflect the chemical conditions of the sewater from which they formed. Fine-scale geochemical analysis of crust layers in combination with age determinations can therefore be used to investigate paleoceanographic changes which are recorded in geochemical gradients in the crusts. At Tropic seamount (off northwest Africa), uniform crust growth influenced by terrigenous input from the African continent occurred during approximately the past 12 Ma. Phosphatization of these crusts is minor. In contrast, crusts from Lion seamount, located between Madeira and the Portuguese coast, display a much more variable growth history. A pronounced increase in Ni, Cu, and Zn is observed in some intervals of the crusts, which probably reflects increased surface productivity. A thick older phosphatized generation occurs in many samples. Hydrographic profiles indicate that Mediterranean outflow water (MOW) may play an important role in the composition of these crusts.10Be dating of one sample confirms that the interruption of the MOW during the Messinian salinity crisis (6.2–5 Ma ago) resulted in changes in element composition. Sr-isotope dating of the apatite phase of the old crust generation has been carried out to obtain a minimum age for the older generation of Atlantic crusts and to determine whether crust phosphatization in the Atlantic can be related to phosphatization episodes recorded in Pacific crusts. The preliminary data show that the old phosphatized crust generation might be as old as approximately 30–40 Ma.

    Notes: Summary Treatment with neomycin sulphate 1.5 g/d for 8 weeks significantly lowered total serum cholesterol by an average of 19% in 15 out of 19 patients with primary hypercholesterolaemia and LDL-cholesterol by 21%, without significantly changing the corresponding triglyceride and HDL-cholesterol concentrations. Combined treatment with neomycin sulphate 1.5 g/d and d-thyroxine 6 mg/d for 8 weeks lowered total serum cholesterol in the same patients by an average of 30%, LDL-cholesterol by 27% and serum triglycerides by 18%, without significantly changing the HDL-cholesterol concentration. Continued treatment of 10 patients with neomycin sulphate 1.5 g/d for up to 13 months did not further change the reduced serum cholesterol level. 10 of 19 patients complained of side effects after 4–8 weeks of treatment with neomycin: 8 of recurrent diarrhoea, abdominal pain or poor appetite, and 4 of acute attacks of vertigo with nystagmus. All side effects were reversed a few days after stopping the neomycin treatment. No additional serious side effects due to d-thyroxine were observed. These serious side effects of neomycin sulphate limit its use to selected high risk patients with hypercholesterolaemia, who have failed to respond successfully to other LDL-cholesterollowering drugs. They stress the necessity for frequent monitoring for the side effects described.
