摘要:

SummaryHairy cell leukemia is a rare type of leukaemia which seldom procedures severe bone lesions. The lesions are either localised and destructive or generalized. They may induce vertebral or long bone fractures. Osteoclast activating factor (O.A.F.) may be involved in the pathogenesis of these lesions. With reference to a case of six year duration the authors discuss the therapeutic value of diphosphonates and sodium fluoride in similar cases.

摘要:

SummaryExercise testing and myocardial T1–201 scintigraphy was performed in 21 patients within a six week period before and after succesfull percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). All patients had one vessel disease. Before PTCA ten patients had typical anginal pain during exercise testing. After PTCA none had anginal pain during exercise testing (p<0,01).The number of patients with abnormal exercise ECG decreased from nine to one (p<0,02) and with an exercise T1–201 perfusion defect from twenty to five (p<0,001). After PTCA median of maximal (MM) total work performed increased from 3450 to 5100 kpm (p<0,01), MM rate pressure product from 20320 to 28120 (p<0,01) and MM oxygen consumption from 1185 to 1797 ml/min (p<0,01). This study demonstrates the physiologic efficacy of a successful PTCA in patients with single vessel disease on regional coronary perfusion and exercise tolerance. The value of myocardial T1–201 scintigraphy in detecting patients with single vessel disease is emphasized.

摘要:

SummaryPatients with sputum-positive pulmoray tuberculosis often display during several months a significant increase in serum transcortin levels. This increase is present before tuberculostatic therapy is started and often disappears before the latter treatment is interrupted. Serum estradiol and hemoglobin Aj£levels were measured in the same blood samples and remained normal. As well withinperson as between-person the transcortin levels did not correlate with the following plasma protein levels or parameters: sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein (CRP), iron binding capacity (IBC), haptoglobin, a,-antitrypsin, a2-macroglobulin, fibrinogen, ceruloplasmin and 5 plasma electrophoretic fractions (albumin, a.<2,/5 and y globulins). On the other hand, the levels of steroid-binding /3 globulin did display changes similar to those observed in the transcortin levels. It remains to be explained why transcortin levels decrease sharply during certain infectious diseases (see reference I) and increase in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

摘要:

SummaryTwo cases of solitary pyogenic liver abscess are reported. In both patients percutaneous catheter drainage guided by sonography or computed tomography resulted in quick recovery. Antibiotics were administered for a short period of time. The drainage technique is set out in detail and the advantages over conventional surgical drainage or antibiotic therapy alone are discussed. The importance of sonography and computed tomography in the diagnosis of pyogenic liver abscess is pointed out with the help of some images.

摘要:

SummaryA 70-year-old man with a history of tonsillary carcinoma, treated with surgery and irradiation, presented with a deterioration of his general condition, an interstitial pulmonary disease and a bronchopneumonia resistant to antibiotics. Initially, a pulmonary carcinomatous lymphangitis, secundary to the tonsillary tumor, was considered. A transbronchial biopsy disclosed a lipoid pneumonia due to inhalation of fluid paraffin: only a few days before his discharge did the patient’s family reveal the daily use of paraffin to alleviate mouth dryness. Self administration of fluid paraffin has now become one of the main causes of lipoid pneumonia.The clinical and radiological features of this entity are not characteristic. Our case report empha sizes the importance of a thorough clinical history and the value of transbronchial biopsy in order to diagnose lipoid pneumonia.

摘要:

SummaryThe main features of the infant of a diabetic mother are reviewed in relation to the recent physiopathological data that may result in these anomalies. The PEDIiRSEN’s hypothesis suggests the following sequence: maternal hyperglycaemia—fetal hyperglycaemia—fetal hyperinsulinism. Whereas congenital defects seem due mainly to hyperglycae mia in the early embryonic period, macrosomia and respiratory distress syndrome arc probably directly induced by the fetal hyperinsulinism. as is the neonatal hypoglycaemia. However, concerning the evoking mechanism of the latter, there is also evidence of an impaired glucagon and catecholamine release. Polycythemia appears related to the drop in arterial oxygen content, which is most likely secon dary to an increased consumption in the fetal organism. Finally fetal or neonatal myocardial function can be impaired in a number of cases.

摘要:

SummaryThe occurence of an inhibitor against factor VIII-C markedly disturbs the blood coagulation process. The possibility should be considered in the presence of an unexplained bleeding, particularly in aged patients. The prognosis is better in case an underlying disease can be found and treated, but is poor in idiopathic cases. The management of bleeding episodes is difficult and requires major and expensive treatments with most often a short-lived improvement.

摘要:

SummaryAn acquired B-antigen is found in a patient with an Escherichia coli urinary infection. Six weeks later he complains about pneumaturia and a colon tumor fistulated into the bladder is demonstrated. The importance of a systematic search for cancer in patient with an acquired B, a rare ABO-typing discrepancy, is underlined.
