SummaryTogether with a complete review of the literature onPasteurella ureae, the authors present bacteriological and clinical data on eight patients, whose sputum Produced a heavy growth of this unusual organism.Differential diagnosis with other bacterial species giving rise to mucilaginous growth and associated with purulent bronchitis, is presented in table-form.P. ureaeis a potential pathogen of the respiratory tract with a predilection for aged males, predisposed by underlying damage of the bronchial tree.

摘要:

SummaryThe lowest effective dose of bezitramide, a new analgesic, was evaluated in 15 patients with severe chronic pain due to cancer or (pre) gangrene; 5-10 mg of bezitramide daily provided fair to good pain relief in these patients. Bezitramide had an onset of action of 1-1 1/2 hour and a duration of action of 8-14 hours. It also had potent antitussive properties. Severe side-effects did not occur. In a double-blind, cross-over trial, including 8 patients with severe chronic pain, a good correlation was obtained between the logarithm of the daily dose of bezitramide and that of dextro-moramide.The potency of bezitramide appeared to be related to the severity of the pain. The study also suggests that«analgesic equivalence of drugs»does not exist unless the kind and degree of pain is properly determined.The respiratory depressant action of 5 mg of bezitramide was evaluated in 10 patients. No significant changes were observed in any of the parameters studied, with the exception of the respiratory rate, which may be considered the least reliable factor for the assessment of the respiratory dpressant effect of analgesics.

摘要:

SummaryIn the course of epidemic influenza, three patients developed severe staphylococcal pneumopathy. In the absence of clinical responsiveness to major bactericidal therapy (either Oxacillin or Cephalotin), the subsequent use of intravenous Tetracyclin was followed by outstanding clinical success. Reasons and hypotheses which have guided this therapeutic sequence are discussed.

摘要:

SummaryIn subjects having resided in regions of high malarial endemicity, malaria is often wrongly accounted for pyrexia occurring in Europe, when it actually concerns Pseudo-malarial fever of distinct origin.It may be some other tropical affection (amoebic abcess of the liver, kala-azar, sleeping sickness, salmonellosis) or some common disease. The most frequent cause of errors consists in urinary infections (colibacillosis, lithiasis, pyelonephrits, etc.), next in biliary infections, those of the rhino-pharynx and enventually in certain septicaemias such as as Osiers’disease. In these non-tropical affections, blood leucocytosis and polynucleosis are precious indicators, next to a negative search for Plasmodium in the tick drop.Viral hepatitis, other viroses, malignant diseases and tuberculosis may be quite misleading too, but not so frequently.Some observations are given as an illustration.

摘要:

SummaryAn Armenian patient with familial Mediterranean fever is described. Literature and diagnostic criteria of this disease are mentioned, also the analogy with etiocholanolone fever. Free and conjugated etiocholanolone in the plasma during febrile attacks is elevated in the reported patient. The pyrogenic properties of etiocholanolone are described. Based on personal observation and items from the literature it is concluded that a differentiation has to be made between three syndromes : familial Mediterranean fever, etiocholanolone fever and familial Mediterranean fever with elevated etiocholanolone in the plasma during the febrile attacks.

摘要:

SummaryRelapsing hypoglycemia in a 91 year old obese female is reported. Radiologic examination of the lungs showed a dense, homogeneous opacity of the lower half left hemithorax. Needle biopsy removed tumor tissue probably of pleural origin. No Known causes of hypoglycemia were revealed by biologic tests.Post mortemexamination confirmed the presence of a large tumour of letf pleura, which was shown to be a non infiltrating fibrous mesothelioma, without signs of malignancy. Biologic assays as well as tests performed on the acid-alcohol extract of a piece of the tumour dd not reveal any hypoglycemic factor.Fifteen other cases of hypoglycemic mesotheliomas were reported in the literature. Hypoglycemia may be explained either by increased peripheral or tumoral glucose utilization, or by secretion of some hypoglycaemic substance by the tumour.
