[Limb injuries at the Aerodium hover sport facility in Eilat].

The Aerodium hover sport facility in Eilat has been in operation for the past 4 years and 33 patients have been treated for injuries caused by falls while hovering. The Aerodium is a new sport facility in Israel, similar to others in the US and Switzerland. It includes a 4-meter-wide wind tunnel with air pushed vertically upwards toward its center.

Immunofluorescent localization of cytokeratin intermediate filaments as a means of defining the presence of recurrent basal cell carcinoma.

Intermediate filament subunits are reliable markers of cytogenetic origin for both normal and neoplastic cells. Immunohistochemical localization of cytokeratin filaments offers a sensitive and specific means of identifying basal or reserve cells when studying histologic sections of skin biopsy specimens. We have applied this technique on eighteen cases in which unequivocal diagnosis or recurrent basal cell carcinoma could not be rendered by conventional histologic techniques.
