SummaryThe whole Body Counter of Liege University permits, by counting the naturally occurring ,40K isotope, the measurement of total body potassium (which can be practically considered as the intracellular potassium content) in human subjects. The accuracy of the measurements is 5 % for a counting time of 200 seconds. Normal values have been checked by the measurements of a great number of healthy individuals: regression equations have been computed according to age and weight. The fluctuations of normal values, when related to homogeneous groups, are rather small, and the meaning of pathological results seems unequivocal. The preliminary findings have confirmed an important decrease of body potassium in amyotrophy, cirrhosis of the liver, obesity and cardiac failure. A less pronounced, but statistically significant decrease was also found in equilibrated diabetes, essential hypertension and renal failure. Longitudinal studies have shown parallelism between the body potassium content and clinical evolution in patients with cirrhosis of the liver. The effect of haemodialysis on body potassium stores was also studied in patients with renal failure.

摘要:

SummaryThe authors present a series of 100 cases of Gram negative septicemia, in which etiology, clinical features, septic shock (35 cases), bacteriology, laboratory findings, treatment, course (47 deaths) and post-mortem examinations (30 autopsies) have been studied.They discuss the hospital-acquired infections, the prognostic value of underlying diseases, the antimicrobial therapy and the treatment of endotoxic shock.They insist on appropriate management of the initial focus of infection, on gentamicin-ampicillin and gentamicin-cephalotin associations and, in septic shock, on plasma volume expansion.

摘要:

SummaryDescription of a case ofSchistosoma Intercalationschistosomiasis in which severe hepatic fibrosis was associated with haemolytic anemia. The presence of cold agglutinins and of other unusual antibodies could be demonstrated. This observation favours the role of immune mechanisms in the pathogenesis of schistosomiasis.
