摘要:

SummaryFour cases are presented in whom transthoracic aspiration biopsy with the rotex needle provided a specific diagnosis, which, on thoracotomy was proved•ncomplete or wrong. Two cases of abscess were in fact excavated squamous cell carcinomas, one case of tuberculosis was in fact accompanied by a scar-adeno-carcinoma, and a fourth case of supposed small cell carcinoma was found to be a muco-epidermoid carcinoma. In all cases, the final diagnosis after thoracotomy led to a change in therapy.

摘要:

SummaryCapnocytophaga canimorsus(DF-2) is a newly described gram-negative bacterium that can produce serious infections following dog bites in the immunocompromised host. We are reporting a case ofC. canimorsusinfection in an elderly patient with a history of chronic respiratory disease and alcohol abuse. We also give a review of the clinical spectrum of the infection, discuss the difficulty in establishing the diagnosis and the preferential treatment.

摘要:

SummaryLipoprotein(a) has many similarities to low density lipoproteins but possesses a unique protein moiety called apolipoprotein(a). The plasma concentration of lipoprotein(a) is mainly under genetic control and most of diets and hypolipidemic drugs do not change tts level. Only nicotinic acid and neomycin are able to reduce its concentration. Epidemiological studies suggest that high level (>30 mg/dl) of lipoprotein(a) is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis of the coronary and carotid arteries. The risk is highest in patients with hypercholesterolemia. The atherogenic role of ipoprotein(a) is attributed to the lack of its recognition by the cellular receptors and its consequent diversion to the atherogenic«non receptor»pathway. Due to its strong homology with plasminogen, lipoprotein(a) could also favour thrombosis. It is suggested that its determination is of importance when evaluating a Patient with atherosclerosis. Reducing high plasma levels of cholesterolemia appears to be mandatory when plasma lipoprotein(a) concentration is higher than 30 mg/dl.

摘要:

SummaryPromising new technologies have to be carefully analyzed before their integration into clinical practice. Moreover, the existing technologies need to be confronted with the new ones in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. Logical guidelines for both clinical and economic evaluation are described in the present review paper which mainly deals with diagnostic technology. All the proposed steps are not instrumental for each technology assessment but they provide a more rational approach to the acceptance and diffusion of technology.

摘要:

SummaryWe report on a patient with aplastic anaemia and an invasive aspergillosis of the lung with subsequent osteomyelitis of the ribs. Diagnosis was made by Puncture of the soft tissues and isolation ofAspergillus funigatus.Treatment with amphotericin B induced renal function disturbances. It was successfully replaced by Ambisome. Healing occurred with recovery of the immunity of the patient. The literature onAspergillus°steomyelitis is reviewed.

摘要:

SummaryA middle-aged woman had intermittently had ehloroquine as an antimalarial agent for 21 years. Although she had discontinued the drug for more than 10 years due to occurrence of a retinopathy, mild°cular myasthenic symptoms persisted. Cardiac induction disturbances were detected as well. A quadriceps muscle biopsy revealed mild neurogenic changes and interstitial lymphorrhages. The decremental response after repetitive stimulation was reversed by edrophonium administration. The history Suggests that the persisting myasthenia might have keen caused by ehloroquine intake.
