Three cases of suhacutely progressive spinal paraparesis had myélographie evidence of spinal cord swelling suggesling the diagnosis of intramedullary tumour. The diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) was made in each case with the aid of CSF protein electrophoresis, evoked responses and CT scan. Because acute MS may produce cord swelling simulating tumor or syrinx, these additional investigations may he necessary to make a correct diagnosis.

Summary
ABSTRACT
Land use and land cover change in Montane Mainland Southeast Asia (MMSEA) is changing dramatically as shifting cultivation gives way to commercial agriculture driven by domestic demand and regional trade agreements. In Xishuangbanna, China, both owners of semi-privatised state farms and minority farmers are planting rubber at rates that threaten to transform landscapes, with elevations of between 300 m and even above 1,000 m, into an unbroken carpet of rubber. While it has become apparent that this region is on the cusp of major changes in tree cover, there is much uncertainty about the direction of change and the sustainability of this land use in terms of people's livelihoods and environmental variables such as biodiversity, carbon sequestration, watershed hydrology, and climate.
This paper explores the hydrological sustainability of this land-cover change at the basin scale, showing the importance of science for a sustainable water resources management policy. Observations in the study basin showed that water is an important and needed resource of rubber especially during the driest and hottest season. These results were not observed in native vegetation. This could also have negative large-scale implications on available local and regional water resources that need to be considered before launching land management policies.
INTRODUCTION
Montane Mainland Southeast Asia (MMSEA) is a large, ecologically vital region comprising approximately half the land area of Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and China's Yunnan Province (Figure 10.1). It is a region of great biological and cultural diversity that has come under close scrutiny in the last several decades as a result of both real and perceived deforestation, land degradation, and most recently, conversion of land from traditional agriculture, including shifting cultivation, to more permanent cash crops which are driven by regional and global markets (Fox and Vogler 2005).

The pleiotropic effect of the rose-comb gene (R) on fertility when combined with artificial selection against the single-comb type (r) results in an interesting example of operational over-dominance. An evaluation of the equilibrium frequency of the rose-comb gene based on this over-dominance concept provides a plausible explanation for the relatively high frequency of single-comb birds appearing in the Wyandotte breed of fowls.
