taught to put the shoulder through its complete range of movement several times a day and to use the Australian technique when lifting the patient.4 51011 A sling was first suggested in 195212 to prevent subluxation and frozen shoulder, and there has been considerable disagreement concerning its use. The main disadvantages are that it interferes with body image, the postural support of the arm, good gait training, and reciprocal arm swinging.2 13 Correct handling of the patient in the early stages of a stroke is crucial in preventing the consequences of malalignment of the shoulder. We thank the doctors, nurses, and rehabilitation staff of the Royal Victoria Hospital, Edinburgh, for their cooperation ; Mrs 0 Brodie for taking the radiographs; Professor J Williamson for his helpful criticism; and Mrs A Burt and Miss K Hamilton for their secretarial help. acute stroke in the elderly: preliminary results of a controlled trial. Abstract Ten asthmatic children with a history of cough and wheeze after drinking a cola drink performed histamine inhalation tests before and 30 minutes after a drink of Pepsi-Cola, soda water, and water on three separate study days. There was no significant change in baseline peak expiratory flow after any of the three drinks. Sensitivity to histamine was increased after the cola drink (p <0 005) but was not significantly different after soda water or water. The detection of change in sensitivity to histamine appears to be a simple and effective method of testing for food sensitivity in asthma. Introduction The overall importance of food sensitivity in childhood asthma is unknown. Several substances such as nuts, eggs, milk, chocolate, and fish' as well as food additives such as sulphur dioxide, benzoate, and tartrazine' cause wheezing in asthmatic subjects. When the reaction is severe and immediate, diagnosis is not a problem. Sometimes, however, the symptoms are mild, intermittent, or delayed, and a proportion of subjects with a history of such wheezing do not respond to an oral challenge test.' 2 In a pilot study we found that five asthmatic children
