摘要:

SUMMARYPathological classification in the group of malignant lymphomas has changed over the past 20 years.The modern classifications of both the Hodgkin's and non‐Hodgkin's lymphomas are presented, together with some relevant historical background.Attention is drawn to the remarkable increase in the incidence of nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease in the past ten years, an increase which appears due to changing histological criteria alone, rather than an absolute increase in Hodgkin's disease in genera

摘要:

SUMMARYThe disappointing outlook in the treatment and prognosis of lung cancer still continues and is an enigma which baffles clinicians in the management of this disease.A selected clinical trial was carried out in the Royal Adelaide Hospital using hydroxyurea and irradiation in one group of patients versus a placebo group who received irradiation only. The results are discussed and a plea is made for further clinical trials and research into the patho‐physiology of the diseas

SUMMARYTwo cases of diastrophic dwarfism in early school age children and a variant of diastrophic dwarfism in an infant are described. One of the children, a 61/2 year old girl, showed a rare but dangerous complication—cervical spine kyphosis.The importance of early diagnosis and the difficulties in management of the condition are stresse

摘要:

SUMMARYEngelmann's disease or progressive diaphyseal dysplasia is a rare disease. We report a Malaysian Chinese girl with typical radiological manifestations characterized by gross thickening and sclerosis of the skull and long bones. In her case, pulmonary tuberculosis was also present. Various laboratory investigations showed a low haemoglobin and a raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Other results were normal. Bone marrow biopsy from the iliac crest showed a sideroblastic type of haemopoiesis and this was thought to be abnormal, for it was felt that the drug isoniazid was too recently administered to cause any bone marrow changes. Pathogenesis of this disease still remains unknown.

SUMMARYThe value of zonography was studied in 212 patients whose gall‐bladder was poorly visualized or was not filled at all in routine peroral cholecystography. The tomographic angle was 9°. In 26 (12%) patients the gall‐bladder was visualized only by zonography. Zonography had most value in confirming or excluding the existence of gall‐

摘要:

Abstract275 spleens were examined by an initial plain film and then after injections of a slightly diluted water‐barium suspension. Of these specimens, 250 were normal size spleens and 25 enlarged. Splenic artery aneurysms were common and the vast majority had been asymptomatic. They commonly occurred at bifurcations and were commonly calcified. They were well embedded in the peri‐pancreatic or splenic hilar tissue and were not visible unless very large or the artery was dissected free from this surrounding tissue.The small splenic artery aneurysms are particularly common in elderly females and associated with arterial disease in the other branches of the splenic artery. In normal sized spleensintrasplenicaneurysms were not found, whereasintrasplenicaneurysms are common in enlarged spleens, particularly in markedly enlarged spleens associated with liver cirrhosis. Splenic artery aneurysms of the extrasplenic arteries are also commonly found to be associated with markedly enlarged spleens. The sex and age incidence of splenic artery aneurysms in the presence of splenic enlargement and/or liver cirrhosis differs markedly from that in the cases with normal sized spleens. In this group the sex incidence is about equal, and aneurysms occur most frequently in the under 50 year old group, whereas in the routine post‐mortem normal sized spleens, aneurysms occur in those over 50 years old and predominantly females.The injection of contrast material and the subsequent visualisation of the arterial pattern on a radiograph is an effective method of demonstrating these lesions. Moreover, the intrasplenic aneurysms will be completely missed unless an injection technique is

摘要:

AbstractCalcified splenic artery aneurysms will be frequently detected if there is an awareness of their radiographic appearances. These calcified aneurysms occur most frequently in elderly females over the age of 50 years and in patients with liver disease. They may appear as large, multiple, overlapping curvilinear ring and ovoid shadows in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen at the level of D.12/L.1, or as single ring shadows anywhere along the line of the splenic artery.These shadows frequently represent completely calcified, thrombosed splenic artery aneurysms. They may also appear as smaller (0.5 cm) round shadows more heavily calcified within. These occur near the hilum of the spleen. It is estimated that these appearances will be found in approximately 2.5% of females over the age of 50 years. Calcified aneurysms are also found in patients with liver disease over the age of 50 years. These calcified aneurysms are almost always asymptomatic and benign and require no further treatment or investigation unless left upper quadrant pain is present.
