SummaryAuthor has studied biological changes induced by anesthesia of the glomus carotidus in polyarthritic patients. These changes are similar to those produced by Cortisone or A. C. T. H. and therefore he feels that anesthesia of glomus carotidus results in increased activity of the adrenal cortex with 17-11 oxysteroids hypersecretion.He has also examined the biological changes observed in rheumatoid patients and he gives as hypothesis that the adrenal cortex of these patients is hyperactive, but that equilibrium between salt regulating steroids and 11 oxysteroids is disrupted.

摘要:

SummaryInravenous injection of insulin is followed by a drop in the number of blood eosinophils, in subjects with normal adrenals.This drop is not obtained if glucose is administied with insulin, which shows that the stimulus is hypoglycemia and not insulin itself.The failure to obtain such a drop in 3 subjects with Addison disease and 1 with pituitary insufficiency shows that it is mediated through the pituitary and the adrenal cortex.This method may be useful in the diagnosis of pituitary and adrenal insufficiency.This work confirms the results of Laragh and Almy.

摘要:

SummaryTwo severe cases of rheumatoid arthritis were treated by small doses of A. C. T. H.The first patient received a total dosage of 150 mgr in four days and the second 100 mgr in two days; as soon as the first day both improved markedly and the following days the improvement still increased.The swelling of the joints diminished and the pain disappeared completely. The patients were able to get out of their bed and walk without aid.When the treatment was discontinued, injections of insulin I. V. (0,1 unit per Kgr) were performed three times a day in the hope that hypoglycemia, which stimulated adrenal cortex, could prolong the effects of the A. C. T. H.In the 2 patients, the first symptoms of relapse were noted 23 and 25 days after discontinuating A. C. T. H., and the sedimentation rate increased at the same time.Sedimentation rate of erythrocytes, eosinophil count before and after insulin injections, blood sugar and potassium, urinary potassium and chlorids have been determined during the two periods of treatment.We feel that insulin hypoglycemia delayed the relapse and reduced its intensity.

摘要:

SummaryStudy of the urinary excretion of P32injected intravenously in several types of diseases has given the following results :1°Leukemic patients generally excrete about 13 % of the injected amount in 3 days and 20 % in 6 days.2°Patients with lymphosarcoma excrete 13,5 % in 3 days and 21,5 % in six. Retention is more marked in generalised forms.3°In patients with Hodgkin’s disease excretion is 31 % at the 3dday and 41,7 % at the 6thday. Retention is the highest in generalised forms of the disease.4°Treatment of lymphosarcoma and of Hodgkin’s disease with P32does not give the favourable results observed in leukemia and polycythemia.

摘要:

SummaryRelation of two cases of dextrocardia with situs inversus totalis, complicated by associated cardiovascular malformations. In both cases, the catheterization of the heart cavities showed the existence of a single auricle; one of our cases also presented two superior vena cava related by a venous brachio-cephalic branch and a stenosis of the pulmonary artery. Two similar cases were reported by Taussig and Cournand.

摘要:

SummaryThe electrocardiograms called bundle branch block mean a trouble of the interventricular conduction, which is not yet located or explained exactly.The classification of these troubles to their electrocardiographic aspects can only have a morphologic value.These troubles are frequently found and probably are more numerous than could be ascertained till now. They are mostly associated witb a sclerosis of the myocard.The statistic study is difficult as there are no systematic and repeated electrocardiographic recordings in the population. However the observations we gathered enable us to state that a bundle branch block only shows an anomaly of the myocard. Its presence has no influence on the prognosis of a heart disease.

摘要:

SummaryIn a patient with clinical picture of acute leukemia, postmortem examination has shown necrotic areas in liver, spleen, lymph nodes and bone marrow. Microscopically no signs of tuberculosis were observed, neither giani cells, nor epithelioid cells were found. However tubercule bacilli were coloured by Ziehl’s fuchsia. Hematological changes were in this case linked to a tuberculous septicemia (Landouzy’s typhobacillosis).

摘要:

SummaryTypical case of Turner’s syndrom is reported. Diagnosis is based on the following signs :1°dwarfism ;2°ovarial agenesia ;3°congenital abnormalities and specially a webbed neck.1°Dwarfism is harmonious ; it seems that prepuberty growth has been delayed. Lightly delayed bone development is shown by XRay study. Neither starvation, nor a definite disease of the bones, nor thyroid, nor pituitary disturbances account for dwarfism. Two other possible factors are suggested : either congenital abnormalities of the epiphyseal cartilage or lack ofœstrogenic factor.2°Examination of vaginal smears reveals a picture in agreement with the diagnosis of ovarial agenesia. Hypopituitarism is ruled out by an increased urinary excretion of folliculin secreting hormone : a fact that may be given as a necessary feature of the disease.3°Other abnormalities observed in this case are : webbed neck, epicanthus, nœvi and supernumerary teeth.Oestrogens given by mouth resulted in increased feminisation of the patient features.
