A case of conjunctival Spitz nevus: review of literature and comparison with cutaneous locations.

We report a case of Spitz nevus of the bulbar conjunctiva in a 15-year-old boy. Clinically, the lesion was juxtalimbic, nodular, red, and 6mm in diameter. Only histologic examination provided the diagnosis.

[A case of fibrous histiocytoma of the conjunctiva].

The case of a 49-year old woman who developed fibrous histiocytoma of the conjunctiva is reported. Clinically, the lesion was tumoral, unpigmented and located in the corneo-scleral limbus. The lesion was excised, and the patient remained cured throughout the 4-year follow-up.

Beef quality assessed at European research centres.

Loin steaks and cubes of M. semimembranosus from eight (12 month old) Galloway steers and eight (16-18 month old) Charolais cross steers raised in England and from which the meat was conditioned for 2 or 10 days, were assessed in research centres in Belgium, Denmark, England, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Ireland, Italy and the Netherlands. Laboratory panels assessed meat by grilling the steaks and cooking the cubes in casseroles according to local custom using scales developed locally and by scales used frequently at other research centres.

Comparison of chemical composition of meat determined at eight laboratories.

Sixteen minced samples of lean beef M. semimembranosus and M. gracilis were analysed for nitrogen, fat, moisture, collagen, ash and pH using recommended procedures in eight European Communitie' (EC) meat research laboratories.
