摘要:

SummarySarcoidosis is a systemic disease of unknown etiology. The diagnosis is based on consistent clinical, biological and radiological findings supported by histologic evidence of noncaseating epithelioid granulomas. Skin lesions occur in about a quarter of patients with sarcoidosis.The purpose of this article is to analyse through the clinical presentation of dermatological lesions, a potential link with systemic disease.

摘要:

SummaryFractures of the proximal femur are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. The residual effects of estrogen deficicncy-relatcd bone loss (partially) account for the higher incidence of hip fracture in elderly women compared to elderly men. This accelerated phase of postmenopausal bone loss can be prevented by estrogen substitution therapy. However, when estrogen substitution is discontinued, bone density declines at a rale similar to the perimenopausal one. In line with these densitometry data, several studies have provided evidence that the protective effect of estrogen therapy on hip fracture incidence does not persist after discontinuation of substitution. To prevent hip fractures in old age, estrogen treatment may have to be initiated perimenopausally and never discontinued. At present, however, such a strategy cannot be recommended as it has not been settled yet whether the benefits of estrogen substitution outweigh the risks.

摘要:

SummaryWe describe a peritoneal mesothelioma. There are many aspecific symptoms. Professional exposure is found in only fifty percent of cases. The histological diagnosis is often difficult. The survival period is short because of the absence of curative treatment.

摘要:

SummaryA patient is reported with symptomatic bilateral malignant pleural effusions as the only and presenting sign of prostatic carcinoma. In view of the excellent response with hormonal therapy, this case illustrates the importance of including prostatic carcinoma into the differential diagnosis of pleural effusions

摘要:

SummaryInferior vena cava thrombosis is a well-recognized complication of filter insertion. We report on two patients who presented with progressive exertion dyspnoea and lipothymia revealing a complete inferior vena cava thrombosis below the filter. Haemodynamic exploration demonstrated that cardiac output could not adapt during upright exercise owing to inappropriate cardiac preload. Since these general manifestations can precede any symptom of lower limb venous stasis, thrombosis of inferior vena cava has to be carefully searched in this setting. The pathogenesis of this unusual complication is reviewed in the light of experimental models of vena cava ligation.

摘要:

SummaryThe occurrcncc of an acquired inhibitor of F VIII coagulant activity is a rare cause of a sometimes important bleeding diathesis. Antibodies against F VIII:C can spontaneously occur, mostly in elderly patients. Four elderly patients with such a typical clinical and biological syndrome are reported. No identifiable underlying disease was found and they responded favourably to an immunosuppressive treatment. In one patient plasmapheresis was successful.

摘要:

SummaryWe report two cases of tricuspid valve endocarditis with related organisms (Enterococcus faecalisandGemella morbillorum),some months after colonic operation. This association, without precxistent valvular pathology and without any other classical aetiology of tricuspid endocarditis, has only exceptionally been described.
