SummaryThis statistic study confirms once more the powerlessness of our therapeutic means in treatment of the majority of bronchopulmonary neoplasms. However, this is mainly due to the delayed diagnosis of the disease. On the other hand, it ensues evidently from this study, that diagnosis could have been far more precocious in a great number of the patients. The reasons of this delayed diagnosis are multiple; the authors chiefly retained the following reasons :1°The very common symptomatology of the disease at its beginning, and the public’s ignorance concerning the frequency of broncho-pulmonary neoformations, have too often induced the patients to consult their physician only after several months of disease.2°The carelessness of too many physicians in regard of the very imprecise symptoms of the beginning disease, and the negligence of a first-sight radiologic examination, are other reasons of important delay in diagnosis.In fact, every respiratory symptom occurring at cancer-age, whose etiology is not evident, requires immediately the radiologic inspection of the chest.3°Complex radiological pictures often falsely interpretated by certain radiologists, have also delayed diagnosis in a certain number of patients.We should like to point out that the physician and the specialist of respiratory system must, together, and continuously, proceed with their investigations in cases suspect of bronchopulmonary neoformation, and that, until they have reached a diagnosis that is a certitude, which is almost always possible.In every ease that is not contraindicated by the presence of clinical evident metastasis, an exploratory thoracotomy followed if possible by a pneumectomy, should then be attempted.

摘要:

SummaryThe authors have observed eight eases of pure pulmonary stenosis (among which only two eases of poststenotic pulmonary dilatation, confirmed by angiocardiography).In leads I II, III, Ve, V1- V6, there was no indication of right ventricular hypertrophy, in spite of the right ventricular tension which in two cases, reached 60/0, and in two other eases 120/0 and 130/0 mm Hg.Clinically, it was not possible to exclude a slight shunt, even with catheterism and angiocardiography. Differential diagnosis, prognosis and therapy are under discussion.

SummaryIn some cases, an hemorragic syndrom appears which is produced by heparin- .ike compounds. In thoses cases injections of protamine-sulfate had an inhibitory activity; 50 to 100 mg were necessary. This effect is similar to that observed in patients receiving too large doses of heparin.

摘要:

SummaryKunkel’s technic for precipitation of globulins was applied to hyperglobulinic serum of patients with multiple myeloma-with following results :Turbidity was in those cases too high to allow comparison with the McLaghan's SO4Ba scale.Dilution of the serum or precipitation with larger amounts of Kunkel’s reagent showed obvious errors in the dosage of globulins (Fig. 1).Further investigations made possible to understand the mechanism of these erroneous results.First, a linear correlation was noticed between photometric readings and concentration of pure globulins solutions (Fig. 2).Thereafter, several mixtures of pure albumin and globulins were prepared, definited by' their A/G ratio; they were diluted and precipitated by Kunkel’s reagent. Authors found a curvilinear relation of readings with globulin concentration (Fig. 3).Low levels of serumalbumins increased the zinc turbidity values. High levels inhibited the floculation of globulins. The lower the A/G ratio of the mixture, the highest are the amounts of precipitated proteins (Fig. 3).These results were also checked as follows : mixtures of globulins and pure albumin were precipitated with increasing amounts of Kunkel’s reagent, but pure albumin was added in order to avoid dilution of this protein when globulin- concentration decreased. Once more a protective effect on globulin floculation was observed with high concentrations of albumin, whereas small amounts of this seemed to increase the floculation of protein (Fig. 4).The authors call«critical concentration of albumin»this value which does not influence the floculation of globulins, giving a photometric reading equal to that of the pure material. This critical concentration of albumin seems to be only slightly influenced by the concentration of globulins in the mixtures.

摘要:

Summary1°It is experimentally demonstrated that by stopping the bile-flow from a great part of the liver to the bowel in pigs and rabbits no icterus is produced, and that this condition is compatible with normal life.2°Furthermore it is established that the bile (eventually produced in these obstructed parts of the liver) cannot possibly escape through intrahepatic anastomoses of bile ducts (or biliary ducts ?).3°The parts of the liver in which the bile flows freely, become hyper- functional and assume entirely the assimilation of bilirubine.4°Is was established that the parts with obstructed bile ducts undergo atrophy, while a compensatory hypertrophy occurs in those where the bile can5°It is likely that these facts apply equally to man.6 This aspect of hepatic physiology has its surgical applications :a) it is possible to ligature high up in the hepatic hilus and a branch can be used for plastic interventions on the common bileduct;b) anastomosis with one of the branches of the hepatic duct is a very satisfactory intervention;c) when circumstances require it absolutely, one is justified to sacrifice one branch of the hepatic duct.

SummaryWe were able to inhibit a serous arthritis in A. C. T. H. treated Guinea-pigs, on condition that the animal had been impregnated with this hormone during a few days.This result confirms, in the peculiar ease of an allergic manifestation, the direct or indirect anti-inflammatory action of A. C. T. H.

摘要:

SummaryThe authors report two cases of gastric neoplasm in young adults characterized by the lack of digestive symptoms as well as by the importance of simultaneous neurologic manifestations.In one of their patients, the neurologic manifestations depended obviously on mechanical factors. In the other patient, they likely had their origin in food- deficiencies, the action of which was probably reinforced by a synergic tabagic or neoplasic intoxication.

摘要:

SummaryThe authors determine scrupulously a method of utilization of anticoagulants. They establish a series of strict rules thanks to which anticoagulant treatment is without danger and can be applied not only in clinics, but also at home, and even to out-door patients, when the acute period of the disease that requires this treatment is followed by a stage allowing a certain degree of mobilization.The authors emphasize that those indications should be followed, as they have been established on the basis of a four years experience with Pelantan and Tromexan.
