摘要:

SUMMARYTen patients with a recognizable clinical syndrome are described. All were men who were overweight and presented with eruptive xanthomata.All were found to have turbid serum with increased prebetalipoprotein. The post‐heparin lipolytic activity was low in the eight patients in which it was measured. Five were diabetic and five had uric acid levels above 7 mg/100 ml.The presence of chylomicrons was variable and the electrophoretic pattern showed Type IV hyperlipoproteinaemia in some patients and Type V in others. Some patients, while consuming a ‘normal Western diet’, produced both patterns at different

摘要:

SUMMARYSix members of a family were discovered to have many of the manifestations of Waardenburg's syndrome, and increased levels of total serum lipids. The latter was marked in most of the members, especially in those who also had xanthomata.In this study the clinical and laboratory findings are presented. Relationships between these syndromes, both of which are known to be autosomal dominant traits, are examined.

摘要:

SUMMARYSweat responses were obtained in fifteen out of eighteen subjects, using local injections of different concentrations of isoprenaline. In the majority of these subjects injections of 10‐3mg in o.1 ml were the most effective.The sweat response could not be re‐induced at the same site. No sweat responses could be obtained from sites which had been previously infiltrated with an equivalent concentration of propranolol (Inderal, ICI).The possible mechanisms of the sweat response and whether these responses are analogous to those observed in the submaxillary glands of animals are discus

摘要:

SUMMARYIn a study of ninety‐one normal newborn infants it has been shown that, contrary to long‐standing belief, it is usual to detect eccrine sweating over the palm towards the end of the first day of life. Sweat testing was performed without any form of stimulation, using a 5% solution ofo‐phthaldialdehyde in xylene.Solomon&Esterley (1970) mentioned that during the first 24–48 h of life, full‐term infants usually do not sweat, although sweating begins on the face at about the third day. Referring to Beare&Rook (1968), they commented that palmar sweating begins later. In fact, Beare&Rook (1968), quoting Uchino (1939), stated that palmoplantar sweating may first be provoked by vigorous crying 2–3 months after birth. Although it may be true that loud crying does not commonly increase palmar sweat production until the second month of life or later, we were interested to see whether, in the normal infant, eccrine sweat is produced over the palms on the day of birth or a few

摘要:

SUMMARYA series of cases is presented, in which non‐specific primary changes in the T‐waves were observed in electrocardiographs of patients with urticaria, the latter caused by drugs or other substances. In all these patients, no other abnormality was found and they were completely asymptomatic as regards cardiac involvement.A definite ‘cause and effect’ type of relationship was found between the T‐wave changes and the urticaria. The mechanism of the T‐wave changes remains to be investigated.Since this phenomenon disappears simultaneously with the urticaria, treatment should be determined by the urticaria, and bed rest is no

SUMMARYA case is reported of urticaria as a local response to heating the skin. The clinical, pharmacological and immunological features of this rare condition are described.Urticaria as a local response to heating of skin is extremely rare. We describe here a patient with localized heat urticaria, and report some clinical, pharmacological and immunological characteristics of the condition.

SUMMARYBlood and pustule cultures from patients with generalized pustular psoriasis showed no growth of bacteria or of mycoplasmas. Similar negative results were obtained from patients with pustular psoriasis confined to palms and soles. The significance of some of these results is discussed.
