摘要:

SummaryThe authors report a case of myocarditis associated with mycoplasma pneumoniae in a 43 year old man. A rise in complement-fixation antibody titers between acute and convalescent phase sera indicated infection by mycoplasma pneumoniae. The clinical symptoms mimicked a myocardial infarction or a pulmonary embolisml The electrocardiogram showed important changes, with right bundle branch block, signs of myocardial infarction and sub-epicardial ischemia in the antero-septal region. Recovery was complete after 10 days of erythromycin treatment.

摘要:

SummaryThis paper relates the clinical history of a 48 years old patient with Crohn’s disease who developed several complications after 3 months of total parenteral alimentation without trace element substitution. Low blood levels for zinc and copper were repeatedly measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. A dermatitis, very similar to the skin lesions of acrodermatitis enteropathica, disappeared completely after intravenous infusion of essential trace elements. Low levels of alkaline phosphatases raised under this treatment. Anemia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia ameliorated but the relation with the given treatmen cannot be entirely appreciated since the patient died from a sudden septicaemic shock with renal insufficiency. The authors conclude that during longterm total parenteral nutrition the substitution of trace elements is essential.

摘要:

SummaryDiabetic microangiopathy is morphologically defined as a thickening of the basement membrane of the capillaries. Its clinical manifestations are essentially theretinopathy(the four evolutionary stages of which are described) and the glomerularnephropathy,extending from the diffuse type to the classical nodular one.Various etiopathogenic hypotheses have been proposed, the most important of which are:1) The diabetic erythrocytes deliver less easily oxygen to the tissues; this is due to a deficiency in organic phosphate compounds (mainly diphosphoglycerate) regulating the hemoglobin dissociation curve, and to an abnormal accumulation of the dysfunctional glycosylated hemoglobin Ale.2) The diabetic endothelial cell may suffer from an excessive sorbitol accumulation and from inositol (which is a growth factor) deficiency.3) Basement membrane of diabetics is chemically and functionally altered, paritcularly in its glycoprotein component.Prolonged hyperglycemia in itself can explain these three alterations. Consequently, the major aim of the treatment of diabetes is topreventthe development of the microangiopathy by ensuring continuously an optimal blood glucose control.

摘要:

SummaryThe topic of this paper concerns the clinical applications of the M mode echocardiography for adult patients. The method offers the possibility to>diagnose mitral and aortic disease with sgnificant anatomical damage even when the auscultatory signs are lacking. In the cases of Cardiomegaly it can differentiate: hypertrophy, dilatation and pericardial effusion.Suspected mitral prolapse and idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis are easilly confirmed or excluded.The qualitative or semi-quantitative analysis of the mitral echo, the ventricular dimensions, myocardial thickness and the movements the septal and posterior walls lead to hemodynamic interpretations. The limitations of the Method in this field are briefly discussed.The conclusions outline the clinical situations in wich an echocardiogram is recomrnanded.
